THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

While there have been conflicting
stories afoat that there would be no game
to-day, Mr.. Marmelstein, the owner of the
club, says there will positively be game.
The games in the future will be played at
the Bolton street park. To-day's game
will be called at o'clock. Ladies will be
admitted free to both grounds and grand
stand
Manager McCloskey said last night
that the differences between the manage
ment and the players had been settled
and that everything will go on all right
Tub WEIGH will arrive this morning and
will play first base in to-day's game. The
batteries will be Hill and Jantzen for the
home team, ana Neal and Bolan for Mem
phis,
To play or not to playa that is the ques-
ton.
Second Baseman OlBrien, of Nash
vile, is one of the best all around players.
He is terrific batter, and it would not
be surprising to soon see him among the
big leaguers.
Yale still leads the six big colleges in
the base call record, with Princeton
close second. The Tigers have an excel
men by winning their remaining games.
The Sporting News says: Savannah
made deal with Macon whereby the lat
ter club got Cain and Behne in exchange
for Hill and Hoover, but Hill refuses to
go with the Savannahs." Somebody has
been imposing on Editor Sphinx.
Goodness and elaboration, with a quick
a mr. Ia nata iuot
that are exhibited by the ablest of our
league players. How the public does APP
preciate play that displays these quail
ties cannot be overestimated.
Overanxiety in many instances lis the
source of very costly errors. Many
players develop a weakness for eight
ing" the ball-that, is, trying to get it be-
fore it reaches them. This anxiety must
be subdued, for it is not only the cause of
fumbles, but also of every wild throw.
One Of the smoothest schemes that has
been worked on base ball diamond was
that of Powell in one of the recent games
with New Orleans in this city. After
two strikes had been called on Powell,
who was at the bat, Pepper pitched bali
which went behind Powell's neck and he
swung his bat as though he expected to
drive home run. He was past first when
JantZen got the ball and beat the throw
to second.
One of the most remarkable surprises
of the season was the release of Holohan
by Atlanta. He was by long odds the
fastest man on the team, and why he
should be turned loose is difficult to I'M
derstand. He was a great favorite in At
lanta and the fans to man saw him go
with the keeuest regret Holohan is
ball player through and through, and will
not be out of job long.
Many opportunities offer themselves to
the brainY base ball player for pretty in
dividual strategic plays. In game be-
tween Yale and Harvard at Cam bridge,
Harvard had man on third and one man
out. The next batter drove a sharp line
hit between second and first, which Nc
Conkey, the y ale second baseman, caught.
McCopkey, however, started to run to-
ward outtleld as though the ball had got
away from him. The base runner was
deceived, started for homo and was
thrown out at the plate, retiring the side
The average base ball fan is very tickle
One day when the home team is winning
the crowd will yell itself hoarse and the
player, who, in The nick of time, with
three men on bases knocks the ball over
silver coin But the next day it
is different and the same crowd,
for it is always the same crowd that at
tends base ball games, sees the colors of
the home team trail in the dust. They
do not cheer Justify. Oh. mol And the
player who only the day before was
showered with silver, the next day just
after he had famed the gentle zephyrs
three times, hears a voice from the
bleachers cry: 'Oh, you couldn't hit
balloon" The way of the base ball
player is hard
