The team has not til e best record, as a whole,
but Its members played ball from start to
finish, never tagging when behind.
In the fight for the pennant they were
constantly and carefully schOoled by a man
old in ball pin ying. They played fast ball,
and not a man among them was a record
player. 1t was victory they were after,
and they put forth all power TO secure il.
Their success is great Y due to Ma Rag er Han

They will finish in tenth position. and the

familiar figure. The only cause for regret
is the fact that he was prevented from
moving further up the ladder.
The Senators increased their percentage
eleven points during the past week, and are
now 1888. If they defeat Boston to-day they
Will have a percentage OF 1888: but if they
should lose they Ill have but $3.50 points
to their credit.
The playing of the Phillies with the
Orioles has created consdera Bile comment
at their home. The press of that city has
been severe in criticism, and has intimated,
since they lost two straight to Bruoklr-
that the Quakers really put the games TO
their rivals because they could not be
beaten out for third place.
There Is really no question as to crooked
work; they simply lost because the other
team put up the better ball, as the scores
show.
During the week they lost nineteen points
Cleveland has made great fight for the
pennaDt, and will ma ke harder one for
the Temple Cup; As they have won six and
lost five in their series with Baltimore, it
seems 10 be an even thing. However, the
Orioles want the cup also. and Hanlon will
send his men after Tebeau's Spiders at a
Clipping pace.
The games viii be full OF interest. and
it is hardly possible for Il repetition of last

that there Will be no bad blood between

team had really no good pitcher. All
their twirle-s seemed to be in the selling

However, the team got agoing the Sth OF
September, when they were in ninth place,
and each week found them in a better
position. In two weeks they were in
fourth place, which they retained by good,
hard hitting.
New York is the disappointment of the
season. Il has long ago failed To show the
promises made by the then Manager Davis
and ends the season in ninth place, a posi-
ton that must be humiliating to Presi-
dent Freedman and to the thousands of
cranks in Gotham.

possible pennant winners, they close the
season in seventh place, comfortable dis

talking distance from Boston.
They spurted the last week winning five
games and losing one. which gives them a
of .534. Their pitchers broke
down. and that really tells the story of
their standing:
Brooklyn was an in-and-out team. Four
weeks ago they were putting up a game
which gave nope of Temple cup honors.
