New Workers.
BaltimOre's Ball Players Lost the
Temple Cup, but They Retain
the ChampiOnshfp.

The Baltimore Suns correspondent at
New York writes of yesterdays game:
The series for the Temple cup is over and
there will be no more professional base ball
played In Baltimore until tine spring of
1893. summary ending was put to the
post-season games today at the Polo
grounds. when New York outplayed the
league champions at all points and defeated
them by Is to 3.
There were many persons who predicted
when the Baltimores decided to play the cup
games that Hanlon's ex-players wouldn't
score a single victory. This prediction has
come true, and to those who were on the
inside it was not difficult prediction to
make.
In the first place the Baltimore men never
wanted to play for the trophy at all. From
the start they could see in it nothing ad-
vantageous to the national game. The
league season was over, and to play this
series meant that the champions might be
defeated and that the prize for which all of
the clubs had been battling for six months
might in less than a week be placed in a
secondary light.
When the difficulty arose about the d.
vision Of the receipts the Baltimore players
were even more strongly convinced that
they ought not to play the series, and &C
cordingly, the championship being settled
and there being nothing further to play for.
rules of personal conduct off the field were
rot observed. The boys took things easy in
the remaining games and did not put their
accustomed ginger into their work.
No Great Hopes of Winning.
When they arrived home a number of the
men had decided strongly not to play the
Temple games, and the decision of these
men would have been final, all the players
agree, mad it not been the expressed desire

So they played, and none of the men had
great hopes of winning the series. for there
were but seven games scheduled and the
players believed ii would take more than
week for them to get back into champion
ship form.
They have not played their usual game in
any of the four contests. All aggressiveness
was lacking, the strong batting was lack

too. The men who have played these
games with Baltimore inscribed across
their breasts were not the Baltimore club

to the front in the great fight for the
league pennant. They were men who were

A Burlesque.
Today's game took on the appearance of
| a burlesque. 1t was known that this would
l be the last game of the series If New York
| should win, but nevertheless Hawke, ac-
| knowledged to be Baltimore's most uncer-
| tain pitcher, was put into the box. He has
done some brilliant work this season, but
| he is not the man for critical game such
| as that Of today. and, as was to be expect
| ed, this proved one of his bad days. He
| was wild. and he was hit hard.
His work otherwise was most Ineffective
He gave way wofully in the fourth inning
| putting New York in the lead, and then he
| was taken out and Gleason took his place
This was also bad move. Gleason had
had no exercise at all since Friday, and
things might have resulted differently had
Hemming been called into service. Gleas
had great trouble in getting the ball over
the plate and when he did get 1t over he
was hit hard. 1t took but one inning Of
him to settle finally the result of the game
and the disposition of the Temple cup.
