wants TO get into the National Baseball
League. II other repOrts-aYe true, SO do
Indianapolis, Detroit, and Milwa aukee.
Just how they, or any Of them, are going
to get into the big orga aniz alton IL not clear
There is no likelihood that the league Will
be enlarged. There is little Likelihood that
any Of the clubs now in 1t will go out.
There has been talk that Louisville might
be induced to retire. but the ow ners Of that
club have recently very emphsticaliy de-
clared that they propose to stick, whether
the other clubs in the league want them or
whether they don't. So the rich contractor
who has bought the Buffalo franchise win
no doubt have good thing to keep.
The announcement IL N ade that John N.
Ward will play bail with the Orange ath-
letic team the rem ainder OF the season,
merely for the exercise OF the thing There
is not baseba folio wer In the country who
would not like to see Ward back ip the big
league, and at the head of tue New York
cmb. Ward Is not only good player, but
he is one OF the best baseball generals the
game has yet produced.
The outrageous conduct OF Doyle at Phila-
deiphia on Tuesday cost that Individual
$500. Burnham kept clapping fines on
hin until the total reached that amount.
If Mr.. Freedman, the head of the Giants,
assumes the payment of his managers
assessments, abd he does not soon call halt
on him, he W ill find him a rather expensive
luxury
Boston win have many q hard struggle
when she gets home to land herself any
where near the top Of the list II she keeps
up her present gait. Three defeats at this
stage OF the proceedings at the hands of her
supposed chief opponen Mt for pennant honoHs
is indeed most discouraging II the Beam
eaters get out OF Baltimore with agametbey
will be doing well, judging from present
appearances.
The Senators, much to the delight of
their friends at home, played another good
game OF ball witfrthe Britieg yoOms yesterday
and won another deserved victory. With
he exception of one or two games the
Washington team has put up good bail
since it has been away, and with this ex- |
,eption no complaint against the work done !
IAN fairly be made |
There are still four teams of the Western |
contingent in the first division in the pen |
lant race. Cleveland stands at the top of |
he list, Pittsburg is third, Cincinnati |
ourth ana Chicago fifth. Baltimore and |
Boston are the only Eastern clubs now in |
he first division. A month ago such a con-
iition of things was not contemplated.
Big Amos Rusie got lively touching up
~ the heavy hitters of the Philadelphia con,-
,ination yesterday. The Quakers got him
or sixteen hits, and all but three hits pro-
luced a run. 1t couldn't have been big
Amos day.
Jake Boyd has very funny motion.
II watching him one forgets that its wner
$ pitching baseball until it has gone by
md the umpire has said .'strke," says
Boston paper. Boyd holds the ball in
ne hand and throws bail and hand care
pssly round in a circle in front of him;
hen he describes similar circle in the rear
# his body, and while one wonders how he
S ever going to get the knot united he lets
/ go right over the plate. His curves are
lis strong point, for his speed is inconsider-

The attendance at the game between the
senators aud Beaneaters at Boston on Mon
ay was the smallest that has been seen
n that city this year. There were only
so people on the grou nds, and yet the game
vas far above the average playing seen in
hat city. Perhaps Boston folks like many
ther folks, are getting tired of losing
cam
Bnrnham is an umpire who doesn't per-
nit anything but his own ideas to 90. 1t
ost big Bill Joyce $25 TO mildly remark
hat trikehad been call ed o u him at Boston
he other day, when itshould not have been.
About the only consolation New York's
Iiauts get ont of the doings Of yesterday
Tas that the Brooklyn men also got beaten.
The game between Pittsbufg and Cincin-
att yesterday was rattlef. Foreman
nd Dwyer both did good work in the box,
nd until the last man was out it was a toss
p as to which club would win.
