POLO GROUNDS. n. y, July H.
Everybody seems to take It for granted
that New York can trot right away from
the tagend Senators, and that accounts
for the rather weak attendance that
always characterizes the games when
the ball-tossers from the capital are in
this city. Then, again, the weather
looked threatening, and this helped to
keep the figures of the crowd down.

noon when they saw that Tot Murphy
was to play right field in place OF Tier
nan. Mike Is suffering with stomach
trouble and was unable to report for
duty.
