Joyce and De Montreville for the visitors"
The Baltimore American scents danger
in the near future. 1t says: 'The Orioles
should increase their standing considerably
the coming week. Three straight from the
Quakers is by no means an inpossibility.
There appears to be more danger of defeat
being encountered at the home of Joyce's
horde than in Billy Nash's own village.
The Senators are playing a rattling fine
game just at present, and are making their
opponents hustle to beat them. Encour-
aged by its position in the first division.
the club is playing hard and earnestly. 1t
is peculiar fact that the Washington
cranks harbor the bittereSt feelings against
the Baltimore club, for whose defeat they
root harder than for that of any other
club. 1t Is hard to ascribe any reason for
this, save that of the bitterness always
felt toward the successful by the unsuc-
cessful. Baltimore rooters do not feel this
way toward Washington, and now that
Joyce and his men are sailing along in

willing to congratulate them

A DEAL IN THE WIND.
Philadelphia and New York May Ex-
change Well-knOwn Players.

A dispatch was sent out last night from
Philadelphia to New York. as follows:
''There is a big base ball deal on between
the New York and Philadelphia National
League Clubs, in which it is expected that
Players Taylor. Turner, Clements. Cross
and Sullivan may figure on one side. with
Rusie and sum of money on the other.
President Freedman Of the New York club
has been closeted with Reach and Rogers
all day. and left for home tonight without
giving out any particulars. Reach opened
the negotiations last Saturday, when he viS-
tied Freedman in New York and made a
proposition to him.
THE Philadelphias have been such a
source of disappointment this season that
the local management decided recently to
make radical changes. Carsey, Turner.
Sullivan. Mc(;ill. Hallman and one or two
others have been marked for release, and
Reach would like to make some bargains
for them. 1t is understood that he wants to
secure Amos Rusie from the New York
club, and that If things come down to cases,
he will offer Taylor and Clements, with
bonus. in exchange.
whether Freedman will consent to such
a transaction Is a matter for conjecture,
and as the local magnates absolutely refuse
to talk on the subject. 1t is bit difficult to
predict the outcome of the negotiations.
1T is known that New York would gladly
take Turner and Sullivan, and would be
willing to put up good money for them. for
Manager Irwin. when here last. expressed
a desire for the men. Turner to go in left
field and Sullivan to play short stop. AS
both Of these men are marked to go, it
seems reasonable to believe that Freedman
will secure them by some means. Both can
play strong ball. but they have been forced
to play out of their regular positions, and
are dissatisfied
1T Is also possible that Lave Cross may
figure in the deal. Cross, who played
great third base last year, has been dis
placed by Nash, and is practically of little
use to the club. except in that position. In
which he has no superior If Freedman
would consent to let Rusie come here. pos
sibly 1t might he in exchange for Turner
Sullivan and Cross, providing. of course, he
put up an additional purse on the side.
Whatever is going on between the two clubs
is being kept very quiet. but there is bound
to be an explosion In few days"

TIM MURNANE ON JOYCE.
The Veteran Base Ball Scribe Throw
Bouquets to ScraDDy

Dou4uctb ~ ScrAppys
Tim Murnane Of the Boston Globe knows
pretty much all about base ball. and he
can recognize a genius of the diamond as
quickly as any man in the business. AS a
result, the Globe has these complimentary
observations about Washingtons energetic
playing manager:
Capt Joyce Of the Washington club Is
not what is generally termed a modest
man when base ball is the theme.
Last Saturday evening Capt. Joyce, Tom
Brown and Barney Lennon were the center
of group at a fanous sporting hotel and
base ball was the subject.
What will we do with Boston Monday? ?
why, beat them to a certainty. It's a
pipe we feat them in the SERIES Why I
can't figure any way Boston can beat us
out
This was Capt. Jcyce's answer to a
question put to him by a friend, and it
might be well to state that the word pipe
used by the WashingtoDian is simply an
abhreviaticn for lead pipe cinch.'
Capt. Joyce is ready to give all comers
a good argument to show that his hustling
Senators will beat Boston out in the race
this year. Capt. Joyce is certainly han
ding his team in fine style this season, and
will force all hands to keep playing good
ball or 90 bench warming. Joyce Is a nat
ural, aggressive leader, and full of original
parisons, when discussing the fine points
of the game, would make rich reading
"Mr. Joyce has no better opinion of our
cwn' than had Capt. Anson two weeks ago.
Tom Brown was full of sympathy for
Charley Camel 1T vas Cancels own
fault said Brown. The first time I was
blocked off I told Camel that 1 had no
chance to get the plate, and that might
have to run into him If it happened again.
CAMEL answered that he was there to take
chances. 1 answered then, "All Is off; look
out for me after this So the next time 1
went in feet first, and Charley being in the
way got bad knock on the ankle. It's too
bad to sec fellow hurt, but, then, those
are the chances we take
Capt. Joyce was anything but pleased
with his trip to Rocky Point yesterday.
Picking up few dollars on the outside
during championship season Is not the
best kind Of an investment he said. Nc
Cauley was injured in one of those outside
games, and has not rounded to yet
Joyce agreed that when a club was los
ing money q little outside help was all
right. but that this year Washington was
playing good game, and the real money
was rolling In by the ton, and the Wash
ington boys were happy.
