ORIOLES NOW have HOPES
Yesterdays Success Makes Them
Believe the Cup Is Not Gone.
1t Is "A Long Chance, But Baltimore
Seems to Have Faith In the
Team.

The fact that the orioles have at las,
won a game from the Clevelands will
undoubtedly add interest to the remain
ing games of the Temple cup series.
1t seemed 10 be Il foregone conclusion
that the Spiders would win the cup
hands down after the Cleveland series,
but yesterdays game has placed DIFF
ferent aspect on the result.
lf the Baltimores can succeed in taking
the next two games on their own grounds
there seems 10 he little doubt OF their
ability TO win the deciding game which
is to be pa yei upon neutral territory.
There were over ten thousand OriOle
rooters on the grounds to cheer the:s
favorites on to victory and they were re-
warded by witnessing one OF the pretticst
contests of the season. Charlie Esper did
the twirling for Bait and covered
himself all over with glory.
He demonstrated that there is heap
OF cunning still left in that old southpaw
OF his. He was in great form and only
two Spiders succeeded in getting as far
as second base during the game.
The champions pla yed a great game he
hind him, both Brodie and Keeler cover
ing themselves with glory. The two clubs
play again today. when Hoffer and
Young will probably be the opposing pitch
ers.
IF to-day's game should be won by Bal
timore Esper probably will be put in to
pitch the third game. The Monumental
City fans are blaming Haulon for not
giving Charlie u chance 10 show what he
could do at Cleveland.
The Baltimores and Philadeiphias have
abandoped their Southern trip which they
contemplated taking Immediately after the
conclusion of the cup games.

The two-timr winners appeared upon the
stage in their baseball uniforms and were
loudly cheered. Fred Miller's new opera.
Nancy Lee" was given its first presenta-
ton. and IL was a baseball performance
from start to finish.
After the game was over in Baltimore
yesterday. while the Spiders were taking
their bus in front OF the grounds. they
were surrounded by a gang OF hoodlums,
who threw eggs and other missiles at the
visitors. The Cleveland players were forced
to lie down on the floor of the bus while
the police did everything in their power
to keep the crowd back. The yelling mob
followed the visiting ball players for sew
era squares. Fortunately no one was hurt,
but such disgraceful exhibitions as THESE
will surely do much to bring the national
game into disrepute among all respectabe
and aw-abidng citizens.
Gov. Brown and staff saw the Baltimore
Cleveland game yesterday from one Of the
boxes.
