Three League games are scheduled fo
to-day, a. follows:
Boston at philadelphia.
Pittsburg at Washington.
New York at Brooklyn.
Five League cities turned out nearl,
1000 people to witness games on satui
day. The biggest crowd, nearly 15,0O(
persons, saw the game at Philadelphia
About 10 900 people saw yesterdays gam
at Cincinnati.
Big Amos Rusie is being accufcd of bein,
little careless with the cup, but thos
who should be in position to know /, deny
this and soy Rusic t1as been overworked and
that his arm is out of shape.
The Cincinnati club is talking about
holding together after the pennant race il
| over and making a trip to Texas, that
| will pay expenses TO the Corbett-Fitzsim-
! mons fight and perhaps net them little
more Tho Cincinnati men should not
forget that games mixing up with the
| boxers got Tim Hurst into bad 0dor with
| some of the baseball bosses.
This is an off day for the Orioles. To-mor.
| row they will tackle the Colts. Mcmahon
| is scheduled to pitch the first game.
Pittsburg is booked for only ore game
here Tomorrow Tebeau and his Spiders
are here.
CIevelands victory over Cincinnati yes
terday gave them several points of ad-
vanatge over Baltimore. For some time it
has been the same thing. When tn, Orioles
have gotten within point or So of the lead,
the Spiders have turned lucky trick that
keeps them in front, but only by nose.
The Cleveland men are encouraging their
friends at home. They say they ought to
have an easy time in Washington. Other
clubs among the leaders have come to
Washington with the same notion. They
have gone away with different one
Cincinnati barely escaped a fhut-out ut
the hands of Cleveland yesterday. Not
tally had been made up to the beginning of
the ninth inning, when two men got on buses
and Gray hit thc ball for a home run.
The Boston men should feel q little
encouraged They have the easiest tning
in the League before them to begin with
this week! At least, IL uted to be con-
sidcred the easiest, but the Colonies have
been making things lively for the best Of
them lately.
Mack tried his new Pirate pitcher, Hew-
lit, at Chicago the other day, and he got SO
ratified after the Anson sluggers got after
him that he was taken out of the box in the
second inning. Mack had hoped that Hewit
would make good showing, for he wanted
TO use him on the Eastern trip, but this eX-
perience will probably keep the young man
at rest, unless he improves very quickly.
Tom Brown is credited with striking out
more than forty times this season. Thomas
had better get his eye on the ball.
Clements. of Philadelphia, catcher; Inks,
of Louisville, pitcher; Ewing, of Cincin-
natl, first base; McPhee, of Cincinnati,
second base; McGraw, of Baltimore, third
base: Jennings, OF Baltimore, shortstop;
Lange, OF Chicago: Turner, of Philadel

There is not a Boston, Pittsburg, New
York, Brooklyn, st. Louis or Washington
player in the lot, yet it is claimed that ac-
cording to unofficial averages the above
would make the best batting team that
could be picked out of all the members Of
the big League clubs.
Chicago is enthused over securing Nc
Bride, of the Southern Texas League. The
Anson combination says it really didn't
need him, as in Wilmot, Lange. Ryan and
Decker it has q great outfield outfit, but
they just took him in to have him on hand
in case of an emergency. Besides being
q great fielder, Mcbride is credited with
being terrific batter. Among his for
mer associates Mcbride stood ninth in bat
ting, while he was sixth in list of forty
one Outfielders.
Jennings, Of the Baltimore team, seems
to be target for the pitchers of opposing
clubs. 1t is said that he has been hit eight
cen times this season. It's a good thing
Jennings is tough.
Baltimoreans are growing enthusiastic
over Hanlon. They say he has soutgeneraled
all OF the other League managers this sea-
son. and that to him is due big share Of
the credit for be good work of the Orioles.
Another source of eorrow to Manager
Mack, of the Pirates, is that he fears he is
going to be deprived of the assistance of
Cross and Sugden for at least sonie of the
time his team is in the East. These men
are on the invalid list.
A rumor has again broke out that there
lie trouble in the ranks of the Boston team.
and that this is the ceuse of the bad ball
playing the club rs now doing.
New York is averaging q win in three
games these days. That will hardly land
the pennant, ana John Montgomery Ward
continues to be cried for.
Having lost hope that the Beaneaters can
win the flag, Boston paper now places
the clubs at the finish as Baltimore one,
Cleveland two. Boston three and Pittsburg
four.
J. Earl Wagner gives it as his opinion
that the Temple cup should be played for
by the New York Club and the winners OF
the pennant thisyear. There are many who
do not agree with Mr.. Wagner.
TRACK AND STABLE.
