He carried the child to the Adams

BASEBALL CHAT.

The Giants met defeat at Pittsburg
yesterday when victory was counted on
by almost everybody. New York played
ragged ball, and Rusie lost his first game
of the Western tour after his almost SUI
perhuman efforts of the day before. In
the midst OF deprecatory comment urged
by the Importance of the defeat, little
heed has been taken of the circum-
stances. Wards men were put to a
strain during the four games at Chicago
which rarely falls to the lot of a baseball
team. Everything was against them.
but the games were won in spite OF
ieers, rough play, bulldozing and other
drawbacks. Hardly had the last game
been won before the whole team was
bundled. unstrung nerves and all, into a
railroad train to take the field at Pitts
burg without chance to recover. The
team was certainly out Of form yester-
day, and there was every reason for 1t.
The story Of a new League was
World" Sporting Extra last night,
Something of its plans and purposes
was outlined in the announcement. The
scheme seems to be to include two

| League cities in the circuit The idea,
| so It's promoters assert, is not 10 antaS-
onize dates of the present clubs, but
to offer 25-cent baseball on the open
dates. The scheme smacks of the same
flavor as the now defunct Brotherhood,
and additional coloring rs lent to that
| opinion by the fact that disgruntled
players are concerned In the manage
ment, and that an attempt will probably
be made to recruit the playing ranks
from the League men who are now
"benched" and are chatting under the

The reported dickering OF Manager

necton with the new scheme, and, II It
