GOTHAM WINS THE GAME.
The First Of The Cups Series Nearly
Ends in a Riot.

McGraw Starts the WranglinR by Re-
fusing to Play Unless the Gate Re-
oeipts are Equally Divided Between
the Clubs-The Crowd Ready to Mob
Umpire Emslie on Account Of One Of
His Decisions.
Baltimore, Oct. 4.-No deeper nor more
intense feeling of rivalry ever character
lied game of base ball in Baltimore than
was felt and displayed in to-days contest.
Trouble was avcrted at different stages of
the game by the few cooler headed players
and a riot at the conclusion of the game
was prevented only by the largo police
force which escorted Umpire Emslie off the
field. The excitement was at fever heat
from start to finish, and it is remarkable
that even the few blows that were ex-
changed by the players did not furnish a
cause for serious consequences.
For two or three hours this afternoon it
looked certain that there would be an ex-
hibition game only; that the Temple tro-
ply would be thrown aside and the Orioles
would forfeit whatever interest they might
have in it as pennant winners.
wRANGLE OVER THE RECEIPTS.
1t was not until the game was called that
decision in regard TO the cup was reached.
McGraw of the Orioles sGeadfastly refused
TO agree to the 65.35 per cent. distribution
OF the receipts to accrue from the series,
and the other members of the team would
not play unless the little third
baseman consented and played his
regular position. McGraw commended that
the only proper thing to DO was to play for
even stakes, as had been agreed by Messrs.
Hanlon and Ward, representing the views
of their respective teams. The obstinate
young man was won over at the last minute
when 1t was made clear to him that the
contests for the Temple cup would be
GAUGE led unless the wishes of Messrs.
Temple, Young and Byrne were respected.
RUsIE PUZZLE.
Filled with bitterness owing to the con-
troversy over the cup affair, and each club
accusing the other Of trickery and I'M
sportsmanlike conduct, the teams took
their positions on the field. Rusie's de-
livery was puzzle to the Orlole batsmen
Jared little better They pushed their
balls into the crowd beyond the ropes and
out of the reach of the felders and these,
under the ground rules, were good for three
bases each They all reached home. One
other run was scored The Orioles did
not make q long nit IN the game. Burke
led the batteries. He raped out four sin
giles in succession.
The fielding on both sides was very bril-
liant and every run was earned.
Things looked squally when McGraw ran
into Ward at second base in the seventh
inning, and again when he accidentally
struck Farrell at the home plate.
LOOKED LIKE ROW.
Again in the ninth inning when Emslie
declared Jennings out at first there was a
terrible row. Brodie Woods on the coach
ing line in his excitement struck Doyle, and
the players all tlocked in. Quiet was re-
stored until the inning ended Then the
crowd back of the ropes rushed at Emslie
and the police went to his assistance. He
was safely escorted to the club house amid
groans and yells of derision The uncer-
tainty surrounding the contest and the
miserable weather held the attendance
down to II 40.
The score follows:
Baltimore ............ OoOOocOo1-l 8 0
New York ............. . 0 0 l l ! o. ID
Batteries-Esper and Robinson; Rusie ana
