ABOUT THE LOCAL TEAMS.
While the Giants have braced UP and have done
better work OF late Foutz and his band OF travel
ling Grooms have not done quite so well. sui
Brooklyn has been at disadvantage. as the team
has been playing away from home. Foutz Is not
discouraged and President Byrne has not lost hope
b. any means. Brooklyn's principal trouble az
present seems to be in her pitchers. Kennedy
and Stein will be in form before long, and as soon
as they are in good shape the Bridegrooms VIII
repay some insults heaped upon them lately.
The Giants are now in good shape the new men
particularly doing excellent work Murphy an
Haltren and Meekin have done much TO strengthen
the nine and Farrels al-round work VIII i'm
