Within half an hour the magnificent hotel

flames poured. They grew hotter and hot

special from Cincinnati says:
Pressure is being brought to bear on
Capt. Comiskey, and 1t is possible that he
will resume his old position at first base
and take personal charge Of the Reds He
does not care particularly about making the
change, but Motz is proving awfully weak
with the stick. The switching of Caravan
to right will not be permanent, and was
done today because Mccarthy cannot hit a
left-handed pitcher. There is a whisper that
Cincinnati will try and WOO Tim Keefe
Chamberlain will stay on the bench until
he voices repentance"
The attendance at the six league games
Saturday offered another evidence Of the
popularity Of base ball. At New York TO- 500
