RAMPANT ORlOIE RIOTERS
Intense Interest Manifested in the
Temple Cup Game To-day.
Baltimore Is Confidenfnthe Spiders
Cannot Defeat Them on the
Home Grounds.
Especial to The Times !

tus Guy, anu tne fOurth IN the Temple
cup series, will take place this afternoon.
The three defeats of the Baltimore club
at Cleveland has made many of the home
teams friends fearful for the result to-
day, but the local players seem to be full
OF confidence.
They say it is hardly possible that they
will be beaten four straight and especially
on a change OF grounds that is altogether
To their advantage.
1f the Baltimore team is beaten to-day
the Temple cup discussion will be over,
for the Cleveland men will have then
won the ma jority of the games of the
series. Some evil-minded people say there
is not the slightest chance for the home
men to lose this game, for that would
cut or considerable revenue for each OF
the players OF the two clubs In fact
II is being predicted in some quarters
that all seven games will be played
However this may be there is great
deal or interest being shown in to-day's
game. III there Is anything that the aver
age BaltiDiOrean is proud OF il is the
bail club, and there is nothing that will
shake his faith in IL or dampen his ardor
Cuppy is to pitch for Cleveland and
Esper for Baltimore. Mr. Temple, the
giver OF the cup, is expected in the city
this morning, and will be the guest OF
MI Won der Horst at the game this after
noon a great jam is expected at the
grounds.
Wnen IL became apparent that Baltimore
ana Cleveland would he the clubs TO hat
tie Tor the Temple Cup, many Eastern Deo-
pie whose knowledge OF baseball affairs
was supposed 10 be profound. depIored the
situation because there was no int crest in
the national game at Cleveland. The
common social standing of Teiaeu and his
men, and their rowdyish conduct both ON
ana OFT TIE BAH field, these wise oues said,
had disgusteu allrespectable folks and only
those of the Spiders ownsori, the slunIs n nd
toughs OF the town, turned out to support
them. IL would be a pity, therefore, TO
nave any OF The Temple Cup games played
at Cleveland, because they would not prove
profitable.
The so!icitude and predictions of these all
Knowing ones seem to have been W withog&

Tebeau and his toughs. If figures Cleaned
from the journals repTese nted by the
prophets are worth anything not less than
$1,000 people attended the three games at
Cleveland. There probably would have
been a greater attendance If the cup games
had been played by Philadelphia ia and Bos-
ton. or Philadelphia and New York, at
Boston or Philadelphia or New York but

VIII not fare badly. The proceeds OF the
three games played at Cleveland figured
al 80 cents a head for admission, and this
is certainly a reasonable average, for no
ticket brought less than 20 ceuts and
many of them brought as much as SI.CO

those who attended The games were MAYOR

other individuals of great prominence and
each and every one OF them footed his horn
and screeched with delight just like the
conimoHest rooter whenever the Tebeauites
turned a good play.

The town OF Anderson. Ind . and its i'm

ed out more famous baseball pla yers than
any other place in the United States. Orth,
who has made such great name for him

team, and the phenomenal batter of the
Philadelphia team, are both from Leb
anon. Ind. near Anderson, and the new
utility man, Rerryhill. just signed by the
Quakers, is from the same town. From this
neighborhood. too, came big Amos Rusie,
the celebrated pitcher for the New York
team: Cuppy, the phenomenal twirler of
the Cleveland team, as did also Meekin,
Boar and Fisher. Besides these, the great
Asa Stewart. of the Chicago team, is a
product of the Anderson section, as ia
Campbell, the crack pitcher of the Grand
Rapids team, and Bowen, the promising
pitcher of the Anderson team. who will be
given n trial by New York and Coons, of
the same team, who will probably go to
the Reds. Berryhill is said to be the most
popular player that ever left that section.
He was captain of the Lebanon team, an
independent organization that downed
everything it came in contact with.
Buck Ewing is to have charge of the
Cincinnati Cltfit again next year, which
will remain as it was the past season. with
the exception of Latham and Tom Parrott.
Ewing is the author of the statement that
Parrott is to be traded, and Johnson, OF
st. Paul, Davis. of Knoxville. and Irwin,
have already been contracted for, Willie
Root and Phillips. of the Indianapolis
team, will be turned over to them. john
son and Davis. Ewing says, are pair of
the most promising pitchers he has seen in
a long time. Buck insists that the Reds
will be in the hunt for the pennant next
year.
Tannehill, Knorr, Berte. and MCGOWAN,
all of the Richmond, Va. team. ire to play
with the Maysville, Ky,. team today
against the Cincinnati team. Tannehill
is to pitch. The Maysville boys. who have
defeated several OF the big League teams
this year. are particularly anxious to scalp
the Reds to-day, as to do so would furnish
a pleasant memory for the winter.
Tebeau rates Delehanty. his newly signed
infielder, as the most promising find he
has vet made, and predicts that he will
prove n star next year. The new Spider
is a brother of Ed. Delehanty. the terrific
hitter of the Philadelphia team.
Burkett, it is said, has not yet signed
with the Cleveland team for next year,
and that there is ground for believing that
he will not do so. Burkett would be a great
loss to the Spiders. Tebeau knows this
better than anybody else, and Is doing
all he can to bring Jesse around.
Chris Won der Abe is said to have ins

friend that his baseball club has cleared
