BASEBALL CHAT.

One OF the leading baseball cranks of
the metropolis said yesterday. after
hearing of President Byrne's heated re-
marks in yesterdays Baltimore Ameri-
can. that he would wager Fall tile
that Byrne would induce Mr. Temple to
protest against the share and share alike
agreement made by Hanlon and Ward.
As these are the only terms under which
the valorous pennantwinners will meet
the New forks, any objection fled now,
II yielded to, means no games at all.
President Young telegraphed Ward and
Hanlon that any stipula lions agreeable
TO them would be acceptable to him as
one member of the Temple Cup Commit
tee. II looks as II Mr.. Byrne. who Is
only the custodian of the trophy and
one member of the Committee, was
afraid Fame's mantle would not throw
even a shadow over the President of the
Brooklyn Club but probably overlook
him altogether. The red-hot feeling ex-
any suspicion of deal or hippoirome.
1t viii be the iiercest series OF baseball
games the fans ever witnessed.
The uncertainty about the dates of the
Temple Cup series has delayed arrange
ments for excursion trains. &c. While
of the New York, ontario and Western
Railroad telegraphed' for permission to
put on sale excursion tickets with cou-
pom attached, admitting the holder to

Capt Ward said to The Evening
World, reporter at the Polo Grounds

One noteworthy fact that has not been
commented upon in baseball circles Is
that OF all the League clubs the New
| York Is the only one that has not in
creased Its staff of players since the sea
son began; The same sixteen players
who signed last Spring constituted the
team for the whole season Stafford had
few chances to demonstrate his worth
this year, and Westervelt did not show
the command of the ball that was hoped
for Wilson. jumped into the game and
caught well and tailed scientifically
whenever he had the chance. Murphy
showed his calihre early in the season,
and only retired to the bench when a
ing short This was at the beginning OF
the first successful Western trip, and
shorty" Tailed and tielded so well he
kept his place on the infeld till the sea
son closed. German never fully recov.
cred his strength after his Illness last
Spring. but whenever put in the box
showed fair speed and occasionally eX.
conspicuous position on the coachinE
) lines in almost every game, and the
dash and spirit he infused into the team
from that vantage ground was worth
his salary alone. Some of his funny re
marks are hywords with the team. anC
his grit and GOODNESS made him n gen
cral favorite all over the circuit. The
rest Of the team played their respec
tive positions so faithfully and so stead
lily that their records are familiar.
