Baltimore, Sept. 25.-There is intense
interest here to-day over the third game
OF ball between the Baltimore and Phila-
deiphia teams, which is to take place this
afternoon. The result OF yesterdays game
was a disappointment To the friends OF the
local club.
McMahon's inability to hold the Phila
| delphians down was a sorry surprise. The
| visitors seemed to have little trouble in
hitting him, and it was only the good field
| ing OF the team behind him and a muff
| by Boyle tina the game was made tie.
This morning it is announced that Irwin
will send Taylor into the box this after
| noon. This means that a determined ef
| fort is going to be made by the Philadel-
phians to at least break even with the
champions, and they think they stand more
| than an even chance to do II.
Yesterdays drawn game with Phila-
delphia will be played off at Union Park
tomorrow.
The Baltimores intended to play off a
but as the date comes Immediately after
the Philadelphia series, it belongs to the
Phillies under the League constitution
Manager Irwin notified Manager Hanlon
last night that his club claimed the date,
SO the game will be played.
The New York management was notified
of the change. The four games that Balti-
more has in New York will have TO be
VIII be TO play double gameson Friday or
Saturday or Monday. The New York club
will select the day.
The Senators play their last game with
the New York team this afternoon. II is
KRely that Mercer will do the pitching.
and with him in the box, properly sup
ported, he is almost sure to win his game,
and the home team will have then scored
two out of three.
Irwin wants the Quakers and the Orioles
to combine and make a tour of the South
after the championship season is over. 1t
is his scheme TO strike Dallas about the
time of the Texas State fair and the
Corbett and Fitzsimmons fight.
The Quakers are wondering what Orth
will do with the Orioles to-day.
The Spiders are consoling themselves that
IL they don't win the penuant they will
surely win the Temple cup. The Spiders
always see something ahead to be cheerful
about.

Hanlon vigorously denies that he has ever
intimated that his Orioles were not being
fairly treated by the other League clubs
in the pennant race. All of the League
members, he assures the world, are honor
able men.
Admirers of Burkett presented him with
a handsome badge n t Cleveland the other
day for leading the League in batting.
1t is likely that the first three games of
the Temple cup series will be played in
Cleveland on "Wednesday, Thursday and
Saturday, October 8, o and 1 2, and the sec
ond three games in Baltimore on the same
days of the following week. 1t is a mat
ter of doubt as TO where the odd game will
be pla yed, n one should be necessary but
the Clevelanders seem favorable to Pitts
burg.
Cleveland papers are intimating that
the proposition has been made that the
receipts from the Temple cup games be
evenly divided. They say the Spiders will
stand no such fcolshncss as this That
the spoils must be- sixty per cent. to the
winners and forty per cent to the losers,
all of which indicates that the Tebeau
men imagine they have a cinch on the
sixty per cent. end.
The last list of batting averages made
up to September Is shows Jim Mcguire
at the head of the Washington team, and
4Oth among all of the league players. Then
comes Cartwright, who stands AID; Sci
bach, 59th; Joyce, 9th; Crooks, 10Th;
Boyd, 122d; Mercer, 137th: Abbey, 13Sth;
Maui, 149th; Brown, 150th; shiebeck.

Dave Rowe is said TO have gone into the
insurance business in a little town in Col
orado.
An exchange says each player on the
Washington team is to receive $500
extra pay il they beat st. Louis out
Wonder who sprung this?
Corcoran, the young virginian signed
as shortstop for the Pirates recently, did
not last long. His release was handed
him by Manager Mack yesterday.
The Orioles stole ten bases in the game
with the Pbilles on Monday Kelly and
Robinson headed the list Of the pilferers
with three each.
Gleason is plucky ball player. He is
staying in the game with the nails OF his
fore and little finger of the right hand
almost torn off. 1t is said that every
ball he catches causes him excrutiating
pain, but he won't quit.
The Orioles will leave Baltimore to-
night for New York. They have four
games with the Giants which will be
played tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, and
Monday.
Hulen, the new shortstop recently signed
by the Phillies, is looked upon as the best
man in that position in the Western League
