FISHER COMING BACK.
The Big Pitcher Will RejOin the
Champions at Once.

At last indianapolis is to have Fisher.
The team has needed him for several
weekst-ever since the injury to Phillips
and had he been pitching for the cham
piOns during that tin they would now be
leading by a good, strong margin. Fisher
should have been allowed to remain with
indianapolis this season. Cincinnati had
good pitchers in plenty, and he has not
been used often enough this season 10 war
ran his removal from the ranks of the
champions. With Fisher, Cross, Damon
and Davis to 40 the pitching, the Indian
apolis team should win most of its games
from now on. Should Phillips be able to
take part in the closing games here next
month, the champions should go in and
make a clean sweep of it on the home
grounds. Fisher will probably pitch the
opening game with umb here next
Monday. If he does there will be a great
crowd out to welcome him. His return will
delight the 'rooters'' beyond measure. and
they will proceed to get right I'm the game
again. No player on the Indianapolis team
ever had the ''rooters' in line like Chaun-
cey Fisher. Concerning his return TO In
dianapolis the following Boston special ap-
peared in yesterdays Cincinnati Enquirer:
'Chauncey Fisher will probably finish out
the season with the Indianapolis team.
Captain Ewing said tonight that he had
decided that il would be better for Fisher
TO keep actively employed than 1t was 10
have him on the bench. He has concluded
TO send him to the Cincinnati clubs farm,
and notice 10 that effect was sent to both
Fisher and President Brush last night. In
the event of the Cincinnati club finishing
inside the Temple cup series this verdict
on the part of the Reds manager Will
hardly seem TO be the fair thing for Fisher.
He has done his part toward bringing the
Reds TO their present place, and II they are
first or second in the race it would seem
Temple cup series. / asked Captain Ewing
what he intended TO do about Fishers
share of the Temple cup money in the
event of the club finishing first or second.
- have nothing to say about that; fur
Reds captain. 1 think that Fisher should
have part of the Temple-cup money, so
should Foreman. The matter
rests with the team. i am going 10 call
4 meeting of the players in my room to-
morrow and let them decide IL. ] think il
would be a fair thing TO divide one share
between Brownie" Foreman and Fisher
l will vote for such a proposition. BY
working the rest of this season in Indian
apoiis Fisher will be in better condition
than he will be II stays around Cincinnati
doing nothing.
1T is to be hoped that the proposition to
divide one share always providing We win
80 between Fisher and Brownie Foreman
VIII carry at the meeting Tomorrow.
Frank Foreman's work to-day was very
bad. He acted like his stock OF courage
tainly should have been plucky with a clear
lead CT 1--WE runs to his credit. Fisher may
not have as many curves as the Baltimore
.san. but his stock OF gamsness lays away
yer that OF Foreman's. Fisher never lost
l game en- account of lack Of nerve. He
has other faults, which. IL he will correct.
viii make him one OF the most valuable
