SPORTING CHAT.

For those neelmen who have prepared
TO spend rar, OF the summer touring the
country on their "bikes," plan which
may be- found advantageous is 10 baye
pair OF ordinary trousers made OF the
same cloth as the bicycle suit. Thus
when the rider stops at n Eotel over
night he could change the knickerbock'
ers for the trousers, and could appear at
the table or on the piazza in regular
street garb, without the trouble OF hav-
baggage kit.

lieves that a different outcome from the

EASTERN LEAGUE.
Up to the sixth inning in yesterdays
Providence Albany game II looked as
though the Grays would win another
easy victory from the senators, but with
zthe uncertainty or basebHf! the tfue OF
luck changed in this inning; Rudder-
ha ms delivery was temporarily found,
errors were made by Cooney and Can
avan, whereby the Albanians succeeded
in sending four of their men over the
plate and took the lead.
Providence fought hard from this on,
In an endeavor to cut down Albany's
lead, but with Cansvan and Cooney
making errors at second and short re-
spectively, IL was an imposslbility, and
when the game ended the score stood
s to in favor of the visitors.
The sixth inning seemed TO be the
dividing point In Yesterdays game. Pre-
vious to that the Gray's led. and like
wise quiet reigned, but after that there
was excitement galore, which originated
IN the bleachers and found its way
into the grand stand, owing to Umpire
Swartwood's decisions in several very
close plays. The most important OF these
decisions was in the eighth inning, when
10 left field foul ball. The bases were
filled and two were out wnen Dixon hit
the ball anc what the result of the game
might have been had the ball struck
fair, there IL no saying; as ii was, how
ever, there are good many who claimed
the ball sent the lime flying from the
foul line when IL struck the ground, and
should have been declared fair. Can
avan tried to argue the matter out with
Swartwood, but was peremptorially
stopped with tine. Delehanty was also
fined 90 for talking.
Moran, who had-pitched well up to this
inning, got ratified and gave four men
bases on balls. aftor which be was re-
placed by Dunno.
The iielding OF the Albanians was Of
an excellent character. and caused many
safe looking hits to be captured. sum.
