Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-10-11

ty, headed by Third Baseman McGraw, held out for an equal division of tho IT, ccipts, which was in direct opposition to the requirements under which tho cup was given, whereby the winners of the series should get G5 per cent and the losers only n per cent.
 At this last moment Captain Ward won by n neat coup. President N. F.. Young was on the ground. Warl went to Young and formally demanded tho cup unless tho BaltimorCS would play under the cnndi- tiOns specified. He then told Captain Rob insun that the New Works would play only that ono game (So as not tn di~In- point the assembled spcCt2t0rsl Unlg~S the games wCro played for tho Temple cup and would not even play that oUc until the umpirCs should anuuuEcCt tu the crowd that it was merely an exhibition game.
 This piece of tactics won, for the Balii- morn players had another meeting near third base, and pr,s>UrC was hrOuEht tO bear until MCCiraw surrCndvrUd. Captain Robinson and the umpirvS then announced that the games were for tn" Temple cup, and the crowd ChCCr,d q tu show its ap- provnl.

 Baltinorc's reception Of her new cham pions makes another record in the na- tional game. Nothing like it k known in baseball history.

 The baseball season of Is9i will ru dow n upon the sporting chronicles ~ one uC tho | most prosperous since tho game lycauo | professional. and then, Is every p'IS,n 10 | believe that next year will not show n de | cline in the interest. Thcrs has bCCn con- | siderable gossip about an alleged OpDOsi- | tiOn organization to tho National league | Tho fact k that no opposition Uf m inimical kind can secure tho necessary financial | support to put teams in the field. The folly of 1884, 1890 and 1891 will scaIccly | bc repeated in 1895 or in any futurc year
 The Baltimorcs arc entitled to full CrClit | for their work in winning the pcnnant | They beat the flag nt the start and wcrs | never headed but once and then only for q I moment as the BostOns got their nose m inch in front. The New York Giants also | made n great fight, and but for n very poor start they should have bcCn nose and nose with the Orioles when tho wirc was passed. The BOstous surprised everybody by turning up quittCrs as soon as they | were headed for second place. BCforc an other season begins thcro will bc big changes in all the teams, with possibly the exception of the New Works and BIlti- mores. The latter need n good pitcher, or possibly two. It Is doubtful whether they can get the right man.
 While in Chicago recently met Harry | Wright and from him learned bit of news that will correct baseball history somewhat. In all accounts of the old Gin cinnati Red Stockings remarkable chain of victories, when they played from Sep tembcr, 1868, to Juno II, 1871, without losing a game, they arc accredited with 69 victories, no defeats and one tie game
 Tho tic was the famous uaymaker EamC at Cincinnati, wherein the Haymakcrs left the field, refusing to accept n decision made by Umpire Brockway. This gamG has always been published as tie. Harry says he has the official sCurc at home, and on the bottom of tho score is indorsct these words: ''Furfcitcd to the Cincin
 natis by n score of 2 to O."
 Brockway, who lives at Cincinnati, say. he remembers well that he so decided tn, game tho minute the Hnymakcrs left thu field. So that famous chain of victorie: must havo one moro added.
 It Is hard on the baseball crank to wal
 fin patience from October till April with
 out food for his soul to fattcn on. Btu
 during tho long winter months he can fig
 uro little on how his favorites arc sur to win next years pcnnant. In that wa!
 he will manage to pull through.
