TEBEAU WILL NOT PAY 1T.
President Robinson of the CleveIa nds
Suggests Il Sensati ton.

President Robinson of the Cleveland
suggests Sensation
Cleveland, Ohio, June S0.-"Not one cent
OF the fine imposed by the board Of direc-
tors of the National League on Tebeau will
be paid, and Tebeau will continue in the
game" is the way President F. Dell.
Robinson of the Cleveland Baseball Club
expressed himself on the matter.
Mr. Robinson further declares that the
National League is full of rotteuness and
that he will shortly publish a statement
showing to the public the internal workings
OF the League. He says he will also open
the eyes OF players to the illegal manner
In which they have been deprived of their
rights. Continuing, he said:
II am not afrai.I to say 1t may have 4
disastrous effect on the National League.
Ny statement will not only put the direc-
tors on the run but will open the eyes
OF the patrons of the game. 1t is war
and l like nothing better. The directors
had no excuse for their action in this
case, imposing fine without first Eoti-
flying me OF their intention. DR.. Stuckey
and Jim Hart have i queer way OF trying
to purify baseball.
''Why did not Hart begin at home with
Anson. They ore not the sort of men /
had thought them to be but IL they want
to purify baseball ! shall give them an
opportunity they did not dream Of. ! shall
be with them in this purifying business
I am going to have satisfaction for IN yself,

The Bostonians, minus the presence of
Billy Nasu at tnird and Tommy Mccarthy
III center, looked a little odd to the rams
yesterday, but the rearrnnged team put
up the same good exhibition that has made
them famous over the ieBgth and breadth
of the land.
In playing the game the ex-champions
play ciran yet Shappy uaii, anu no wonder
they are fayorites with local. audiences
over the entire League circuit.
Luck was with them from the start and
never deserted their standard for the nonce
throughout the struggle. Time and re-
peatciiy they pushed the horschide to
safe territory. Wher" Il Senator was not

against it no opposii team can win.
The first five hits made by the Bean
eaters scurried to ieft and hunted the ave
nGes of escape uEg iarcied by the Joyceites.
These lucky drives were very fruitful, as
they nettca five runs.
IL was ladies' day and the usual number

hard-fought eleven inning contest at Bns-

the reverse of the IIrst battle, Sullivan
was the victor.
PRETTY GAME AFTER ALL.
1t was pretty game, though the score
was one-sided. That it was. Boston can
at themselves for good playing.
In strange contrast to the lose fielding
of the visitors was the snappy work OF
the Senators. Boston ordinarily would
have lost the game by their numerous
faux pas. but fortune smiled on them ard
held them in the lead by good margin
despite their butter fingers and fungo
throwing.
The nonors of the contest belong to
DeMoDtrevilie. The way the youp gster
landed himSelf made his friends glad that
they were living even if Boston did yank
the game.

The yOungster accepted twelve difficult
chances without the semblauce OF an error.
His jumping catch OF loves line drive
in the seventh, on which he doubled Duffy
to Cartwright. was nothing short OF phe-
nomenal. The audience was electrified
by the play and cheered him for fully
minute.
As the score shows the allaround field
Ing of the Senators was superior to that
of the visitors. Bobby Lowe was badly
his average by making bungles OF several
opportunities that were presented TO
him.
The pretty feature Of the play of the

as to its merits"
