BASEBALL CHAT.

New York and Baltimore at the Polo
Grounds yesterday. II couldn't. for tn,
game was too overpoweringly caloric
for any fly eNtant. The playing OF the
Giants was an eye-opener for tho faith
full who have eyes only for the New
Yorks when they are nit" and yet they
couldn't reconcile the bunch Of defeats
which befcll our lads In Boston with the
up-and-at'em style of work capt. Ward
and his fellows adopted yesterday. AS
Kipling says. THAT is another story"
Johnny Ward hits It about right when

roseate frame OF mind. and YOU are
really under the effects OF baseball hash
eesh. Bravo. Pork Wilson! lIail. Amos
Rusie! Hurrah for Capt. Ward! Every
body's hat Is on to the Giants to-day,
and they are in truth the salt OF the
earth just now. But should they lose
a few games-ah! then will the palates
OF the fckle public grow faded. and
where today bouquets are not good

timore this afternoon. and ali the fe-
tiches available among the local rooters
have been worked industrously to insure
victory number two. The batteries will
undoubtedly be Meekin and Farrell, and
Gleason and Robinson.
Reitz evinced a desire TO play a
"soiled' game when he deliberately
stood in front of Eddie Burke at sec
ond and blocked him. Edward almost
hillock. Reitz didn't try it again.
Mcmahon must not be sighted by any
means. This clever twirler did quite as
well as RLsie. yet Mac hadn't the effect
at the critical times. as did Amos.
he worked a whole lot OF overtime beef.

Lucky Boston again! There It goes
and rains in the Hub yesterday, and the
Brooklyn Boston game is postponed

gain first place by whipping the Bnlti-

two other Boston players. When he en-.

Then that was supplemented on Gan
