There was another game OF baseball at the Polo

was not much of contest. The NewYork and
Philadelphia teams took part in the procession. ara

at" The attendance was naturally small, after the
dismal exhibition on Tuesday. and the few people
who went to the Harlem Hollow for the second
time left there for nome at the close OF the game
thoroughly disguised.
Some portion of the attendance had been deceived
by the apologists of the club into believing that the
result OF the game on Tuesday was only III luck
They are not likely to be deceived again. Every
body at the Polo Grounds seems to be utterly de-
moralized from the leading officials Of the club
down the ground-keepers. The team will start
on It's Western trip next week. to be gone about
month and many people are wondering what will
be left of the aggregation when it gets back
Meekin started in 20 pitch yesterday but this
master OF speed and curves was clearly out OF
condition. and result the Quaker City men
piled up a total Of nine in the third inning,
and decided the result beyond dispute 1t was a
g-drawn-out contest, and It lost all interest be-
fore half the innings had been played. Meekin has
never been the same pitcher since an unfortunate
game at the Polo Grounds last year. when he was
kept in the box when i'll. and as a result was com
PEELED to undergo a strain that incapacitated him
for work for nearly month. 1t was pointed out In
these columns at the time that such treatment
would in all probability lay the player up for a
month, If 1t did not disable him for life.
With Rusie refusing to sign with the club. and
the local management unable 10 secure Huyler
Westervelt. the club is left with practically one
pitcher who be depended upon TO do iirst-class
work. The cIuD has made every effort to secure
Westervelt, who has refused TO sign for more than
a year, but without success Wesiervelt has charge
