BASEBALL CHAT. :

The eyes IF the baseball cranks of the
metropolis are now strained In the d.
rection Of Baltimore. The three games
In that city to-day, tomorrow ana Mon
day are OF the greatest moment to the
Giants. The Orioles have not forgotten
a merciless drubbing they received at the
hands Of the Giants in New York in the
last serier Of three games played on the
Polo Grounds, and 1t is their Intention to
retaliate, II they can, by whipping of
three straight from Capt. Ward and his
fellows In the Monumental City. But
the Giants will have a great deal to dc
before the Orioles can accomplish that
feat. All that Ward and his boys ex-
pect are two Of the three games. Let
the Orioles lose twice and New York
rooters need have no occasion to kick.
The Giants will be forced TO play ball
a great deal faster than the gait they
struck in Washington. Farrell and Doyle,
are in good shape now. and they Will be
in the game every minute.
Rusie will do the twiriing for New
York to-day, and Farrell Is right there
as the backstop.
Treasurer Eddie Talcott got so fever
more that he went all the way to the
Monumental City to see the boys do
their best.
A big delegation of New Workers. Is
expected to be in at the finish, and III
we get away with two OF the games,
why. Baltimore will know that porr,,
| ton of Manhattan's choicest baseball
cult has invaded that quiet town.

Give Washington a winning ball team

but to-day the capitol Is very shy In the
line of attendance. Louisville. too, Is no
good.
The variety of baseball produced In
Brooklyn yesterday Is from OF the first
shelf and showed in, sharp contrast to
fore. Stein was the hero, and If he was a
triie too free with bases on balls ut

Baltimore's hits scattered. His work at

meant by trying to block him at first
is hard to surmise. but Ed kept running,

or not, SO he wisely rolled over to the

There were two umpires at Eastern

have observed that McGraw scored a
run without crossing the plate. Had he

It Is more than probable that Luci6

shape for a game, too, 80 that the Bean
eaters should be well entertained.
