BASEBALL CHAT.

NO golden chariot, no band of music,
no garlands of flowers, awaited New
Yorks ball team at the pier on West
street when the boys landed in this city
this morning. Just plain heavy Scotch
drizzle greeted the boys. and you may
be sure 1t didn't elevate their dropping
spirits an iota. Three straight 1t was,
Of course. but not that kind OF a straight
the Giants looked for. II only q single
victory could have been hauled in the
New York players wouldn't have felt
quite so disheartened. But the fates
were against them and so was the good
clear eyes that the Hubbites had on
the ball. as we'll as that satanic black
sheep that Charley Hoyt sent to the
Bostons on Friday. AS Capt. Ward said
last night on the boat, Now don't dis
cuss bygones. Those games are misty
memories, disagreeable enough for us
to try and forget them. Let US talk OF
the future. baltimore must be taken
care or, and on our own grounds. where
batter cannot lace hit over either
fence. we shall feel more at home"
New York's crack twirlers. Rusie and
Meekin, were hit with freedom and au-
dacity by the Bostons.

Treasurer e. B. Talcott and Secretary

trip, and they voted mis- new theatre in
Boston veritable marvel OF beauty.
Sharp plays distinguished the fielding
of the Phillies in the second game at
Brooklyn yesterday afternoon. After los
Ing a game the Quakers were not al all
disheartened, but started In to even
things up in excellent form. Tredway's
bit from his great catch OF Delehanty' s
long fly. The ball was fairly against a
slgnboard in left field. and was sure
threebagger. but Fred's hand was right
where II, landed and gripped it.. There
was no listlessness about Shoch In cen
tire field either, and II the energy dis
played by these two Grooms had been
distributed generally through the team
the second game would have been a
different, story.
Foutz is supposed to furnish victims
| over whose corpses Boston Is to make
head of the League. Well. maybe he
won't.
And yet. II the Bostons haven't divest-
| ed themselves of that amazing streak of
| batting they had on tap while the New
Yorks were there Scissors Foutz and
his companions will be batted into a
trance, and they won't get sight of one
| of the games.
Pitcher Esper. formerly of the Wash
