the Lousyilles.
Iris stated that the Baltimore club Will lose
about s., 600 on the season.
THE Cleveland team keep on steadily clinchng
their hold on the pennant.
IN three-base hits Stovey and Delahanty are tied,
and are credited with IL each.
OUR sluggers won game yesterday again, but
those fellows at Boston won two.
CATCHER ZIMMER has made is doubles in 40
games, and leads the League in two-base hits.
IF the local team can maintain their present gait
they should have rousing reception when they
return home.
ELMER SMITH may pitch for the home team to-
day, as there are numerous left-handed batters on
the Baltimore team.
Now that Jim o. Rourke has been released, Anson
is the only PLAYER who has been in the League since
Its formation In 1876
JACK MILLIGkN says Abbey's drop ball is the
hardest one he ever tried to handle, and that next
season the collegian will be Il star.
PRESIDENT IoUNG says that if a batsman offers
at the third strike. and the ball hits his person,
provided that 1t does not hit on the arm below the
elbow, he is entitled TO his base.
HALF the recent successes of the Cleveland team
have been due To the confidence that the team has
in Its pitchers Even il they do get batted hard
the club but has an mistaken belisf that at some

lands behalf.
VoN DER AHE is bemoaning The desertion of two

appeared. Hawke told Nondy he WAS tired of
pitching and wanted 10 go home while Mccormick
said nothing and went.
No matter what Pfefcr does he finds it impossi-
BILE TO satisfy some of the Louisville patrons. In
fact there seems to be party against him. Fred
Is now learning what other players have learned
before by bitter experience viz that it is better to
play among strangers than in one's home In base

here to-day, each winning one. In the morn
ing game Leamon hit over the right field
fence for home run, with one on base and
the score a tie, thus winning the game, to s,
for Uniontown.
In the afternoon game the Willzesbarres
hit the ball hard, and the score was kept
down by the phenomenal fielding of Lea
mon and Wilhelm. Hartman hit very hard
putting one over the fence and another hit
on the top, which bounded back. McKim won
a fine SILK hat DIV hitting the bulls eye on
center field fence. Higgins also hit very
hard, but was caught trying to make too
many bases. The pitching of Callahan and
Bergers fine throwing to bases were also
great features. Uniontown only rot one
man past first base up to the ninth inning,
when a very had decision by the umpire and
a base on balls and errors by Hartman and
McKim gave them two scores amid great
excitement The same clubs play to-day at
10 o'clock, and large crowd and fine game

throw headed off Connor at the plate.
THOMPSON and Donovan also each made
running catches The Philadelphias made
no less than tour double plays but punched
hits bv the visitors and errors by Allen

doubles and Allen and Miller each made
single and double.

inning.

and Fftzsimmous. There has been no
Thought of offering purse for Carroll and
Bowen.
A match spoken of was meeting between
Corbett and jackson. The club has never
drawn the color line in settling champion
ships. but in view OF public criticism 1t is
about settled that the Olympic will not be q
bidder for the match.
As now seems that there is a willingness
on the mart of Corbett and Mitchell to face
each other and as it would doubtless be one
of the most scientific battles ever fought,
without the element of brute force and
would attract attention all over the world,
the club would bid as much as anybody for
the affair. The Olympics feel very kindly
toward Sullivan for the manly sho wing he
made here and II ne feels disposed TO meet
his style, purse will be readily offered for
the meeting.
