GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

Ed Corrigan, owner of Hawthorne
Park, Chicago. will no doubt cherish the
memory of the American Turf Congress.
Corrigan has been at swords points
with that organization ever since Its
existence. and the parting slap In the
face which the master of Hawthorne
received last night will not be soon for
gotten. The Turf Congress at Its ses-
sion last night refused to admit Haw-
thorne Park to membership. The ap-
plications of Washington Park and the
Crescent City Club. of New orleans,
were favorably passed upon and they be-
came full-fledged members, A license
was granted to the Chicago Fair
Grounds and the Kansas City track.
The latter Clubs license will not be
renewed next year unless 1t builds a
mile track. Mr.. Corrigan was informed
that Hawthorne Park could secure
license on application. 1t is even betting
that a halo of blue is lowering over the
hard head OF Fighting, Ed Corrigan.

BASEBALL CHAT.

With the memory of five defeats in six
games with the Philadelphias fresh in
their minds, the New Yorks yesterday
started In the fray on the Polo Grounds
practically beaten. Such a disadvantage
was emphasized, too, by the absence OF
George Davis from his stronghold at
third base, and the further handicappng
OF Tot Murphy. who suffered severely
from Charley Horse" Meekin also pos
sesses a fearful dread OF the Phillles from
whom he thinks 1t is an impossibility on
his part to win game. The Ouakers
won the game quickly in one inning, the
third, when Delehanty who leads the
League in batting, raped out long
drive, which, lost itself under the club
house beyond right field. AS the bases
were filled, and Delehanty's hit was good
for home run. that settled the matter.
So the Quakers added another to their
string OF victories, increasing the list to
six in seven games.
There Is every incentive in the world
for the Phillies to keep right on in
their pulVerlZlng treatment of the New
l9rks and the sharp methods they
adopt of playing the game in the field
and at the bat would seem to insure
them victories galore from the Giants.
