In plain language. the orioles are afraid to meet
the Giants The conditions under which the Tenn
pie Cup was donated by W. C. Temple are such
that there is nothing for the two competing teams
to do but play for O. per cent and 81 per cent
Under no circumstances can the players divide
the receipts to satisfy themselves. Mr.. Tempe
told The Tribune correspondent In PittsburS that
In case the team which finished first did not WISH
to risk it's honors champions by accepting the
challenge of the team which finished second, then
the team which came In third should have the
right 10 challenge the team which landed second.
There is no possible hole for the Orioles to crawl
out OF now No matter what they say now, they
knew all along. just as the New YORK players uii'
tust what the conditions were. They have been
printed so often that even the merest youngsters
who look through knotholes In the fence at game
