Judging from the attendance at the
various League games held yesterday,
there Is a great revival Of interest in
our National game. The total attend
ance, 40,2S2 exceeded all previous rec
ords by over 1900 In Baltimore, for
instance. where the home team played
the New Yorks, the grounds were black
with spectators. It became necessary
to stop the game for fifteen minutes, at
one t'-k. to allow the crowd to spread
itself across to the opposite side Of the
field from. the entrance, which had be-
come packed to suffocation. Catcher
Farrell dio not come UP to the expecta-
lions of the cranks, who journeyed to
the Monumental City only to see their
favorites beaten by the score Of to 3.
He was apparently unable to locate Sec
ond base when 1t became necessary to
do SO. His much-talked Of head work
was not perceptible. Manager Ward
thinks the cause Of his teams defeat
was due to the lack OF practice.
In the game at Boston between Man
ager Selects men and the Brooklyn team,
1t was simply a case Of walk-over for
the home nine from start to flnish
Manager Foutz felt very sore over his
defeat, Of course, but the same reason
may be given as for the Giants-lack OF
practice. Both the local teams may be
expected to do better as the season ad-
vances, and the men settle down to
good solid work. The Giants will try
the Baltimores again to-day, and Brook
Ign will contest with Boston. Either
Westervelt or Clarke will pitch for the
Giants to-day.
