Above and beyond all the Joy natural
to New Workers upon the signal triumph
OF the local team in the Temple Cup
series, all lovers of the National game
feel q deep sense OF pride in the absolute
integrity with which the games were
conducted. There could be no more
conclusive refutation of the sneers and
innuendoes that the National League
games are not played fairly and honest
ly, than the four decisive. consecutive
victories that have been recorded dur
ing the last few days.

At this time there were all sorts of
rumors that Childs or Mexican, of Cleve-

third straight victory over Plttsburg and
