ed the game. and Its officials arc popular not only with the homo patrons, but among tho magnates with whom they havo business associations. Tho fact thnt tho team has won out with their best pitcher disabled during tho last six weeks of the season serves to add to tho glory of tho Orioles success.
 In this triumph of tho Baltimore team Is a lesson which must put tho average the entire lot of players only three can be classcd as veterans. Hanlon has gathered his pennant winners from the four corners of the earth, so to speak. Thero Is Billy keeler, who was twice a castoff before hc landed in tho Monumental City. He play ed in 1892 in tho Eastern leaguo where he led tho batsmen for quite a time, and played a moderately good third base. The New York club, through Manager Ward, bought his release and played him on the regular nine for some time koeler was not strong enough, however, in Wards opinion, and hc was released. Brooklyn took him up last year, but put him on the bench before the soason was over.
 Last spring the Baltimores wanted Dan Brouthcrs, and they wont to the Brooklyn club and offered Broadway for the big first baseman. Tho Brooklyns, however, wanted n third hascman and demanded Shindlc and Trcadway for Brouthors. The Baltimor.s declared they must havo man for man. Then tho BruokIyns thought of KcClcr. They didn't want him anyhow, and Billy was slated even at that time for release. So they put kcolcr in us '' boot" to Brouthors. Hanlon took him, gavo him n place in the outfleld, and what O game he played for the coming championsi Thcro Is Kelley, whom the Pittsburgs let go; Brodie, for whom the Bostons couldn't find place on their nine, and Jennings, who wns not good enough to grace the bench of the Louisville tail cnders. They all went to Baltimore and became famous and skilled members of the champion team.
 McGraw, Bonner and Rcitz are young bloods picked out of the state leagues. Clarke, too, jumped from oblivion into that shining company. Gleason, who couldn't or wouldn't win q game in St. Louis, was transferred for monetary consideration to Baltimore and thcre made tho Loaguc record of excessively won games. Espor hnd no merits in tho Wash ington nina. and they let him go. Hanlon pulled him in and won game after game with him. Hemmtng couldn's pitch we'll enough for tho miserable Louisvillcs, and Hnnlon got him in c swap for Inks. Now sec how Hemming is moving down bats- men for tho Baltimorcs
 It is truly a marvellous collection of baseball playcrs-a regular mosaic collec- tion of young and old bloods-which Is bringing such great honors to the mctrop- oils of Maryland. Tow of the wise men in baseball believed Hanlon's team could stand tho pace. Even their own officials did not believe 1t. But tho Orioles fooled everybody.
 Next comes tho contest for tho Temple cup. Tho series will Dc played during the first half of October between tho Bal timorcs and Now Works scarcely without doubt Tho fact that the winners of tho series get 65 per cent of the proceeds, to bc divided up among themselves, will in sure the games being played on their merits. Tho outcome of the series will bc watched with interest all over the land, and should the New Works win the cup they will share the honors with the cham pions. In tho l2 games which the two teams have played with each other for tho championship they have divided evenly. But the New Works lost three of the i3 last April, when they were not in good form and when the Baltimorcs had just returned from thawing out trip to the south.
 The Giants believe they will easily de- feat tho Baltimores in the series to bs played for the cup and will thus be hailed as the real champions if not tho legal champions. Tho New York men allege that they were beaten in the race at the start because the Baltimores were in much better playing condition during the first month of tho season by reason of their trip to the south and their training in e warmer climate Thcre seems to be jus tice in this claim, and the series of nine or eleven games between tho two teams in the contest for the Temple cup and the rich prizes (monetary) attached will ds eide tho mooted question.
 Ono thing can be depended upon, and that Is that tho lesson taught by the Bal timorcs' southern practice trip has been well learned. Already the New Yorks Chicagos, Bostons and Brooklyns have ar ranged to go south during April of next year.
 Tho National league championship will not be without Its contest. so close ha' been the race among the leaders. Boston set e precedent by protesting tho game which President Young permitted to b, transferred from Louisville to Now Yori | and which the New Yorks won. The con test Is no donbs legal and upscts a prac tioe that has boon in vogue in the Leagu, contrary to the technical laws of the or | ganization. But the Boston contest wa. | a boomerang. Having sprung this lega 1 piece of strategy to beat New York out o 0 victory, the club set Q precedent whereby the Cincinnati club saw It's way to gair an advantage over It's rival, the Chicag, club, by protesting the game transferrOC from Chicago to New York and which wn, won by the Chicagos- So that game wa played over in Chicago recently, and tn, New Yorks won it, thereby gaining a full game on the Bostons by the iatter's sup posed piece of strategy.
 Having had occasion during the las trip of tho Now York club to tho west [, accompany the team, I have made d-cid | edly important observation which 1 wouls be pleased to have somo physiologist cx
