The Giants ought certainly to feel proud OF the
right loyal support and hearty good will shown py
local admirers Of outdoor sport. The attendance at
the Polo Grounds yesterday was again unusually
large, and the chances are that with the cro"a
to-morrow the best consecutive three days attend
ance ever present at series OF baseball games

broken. New-York appears to be baseball mad TINS
year and It does look like flying into the face or
Providence TO send the team West this week, where
the poverty stricken natives have not money enough
to 90 TO baseball games or TO anything ese for that
matter.
But there Is evidently plenty Of money hereabouts
with which to crafty the appetite for baseball Tor
that 20 coo crowd OF Friday was followed up yester-
day by another outpouring OF well-dressed, Well
behaved and happy followers Of the game Every
body was talking about the wonderful victory over
Boston, and the general opinion was expressed that
II the Giants played the same sort OF baseball Two
Cincinnati scalps would DANCE at their waists ana
a few more points would be added to that winning
percentage column, which IS scanned more eagerly
in New-York to-day than ever before. This climb
sharpened the mathematical wits OF many rusty
veteran to whom figuring percentages has been a
lost art for years.
And the Giants would be ahead Of the Bos-
ton champions had the local players won those two
games from the despised Porkopolitans at the Polo
Grounds yesterday afternoon. Baseball, however is
repete with surprises of yore. and one Is brought
up with sudden dsagreeable jerk to have defeat
thrust into ones face The sons OF Ohio performed
that operation in the first game yesterday, the
Giants pulling themselves together and getting re-
venge in the second game. The days result causes
the Giants a loss OF three points. Ward and his
men are upon the heels OF the champions, while
front within easy striking distapce. Their feathers
will fly before many more moons.
The Giants did not play with that snap and aban-
Friday and as the champions were also beaten
