GOSSIP OF THE GAME.

Pitcher Phyle is still at the Arlington hotel,
in this city, but he is likely to be called mo-
mentarily to the scene of action in the East,
Denzers purchase by Chicago leaving the
team with only Mullane and Fricken to do
the pitching for the st~of the year. This
is too much, of course. and Phyle will prob
ably be called into the breach.
The list of advertised letters in the G | b
Monday morning include the names of Orl1e
Latham and Wilo Brill. Evidently the base
ball experts not we'll known at the post
office.
Rusie is keeping his arm in shape at In
dianapolis.
Second place is by no means lost. The
team can win out by playing games as that
Minneapolis or ST. Paul. which teams visit
that city last.-Detroit Free Press.
While Glenalvin doubtless feels sore over
the loss of four games to Indianapolis there
is a bit of satisfaction to him, considering
his feeling toward the Detroit management,
when he thinks how he turned Detroit down
for second.
''Parson" Nicholson, of Detroit is counting
chickens before they are Matched. He has
written Mrs. Nicholson at Bellaire, o., that
if Detroit finishes second he wants her to be
ready with the children to accompany him
to Minneapolis. 1.-The sparson" doesn't mean
all the children. for he has four, but wants to

Detroiters think Sam DUNCAN may go back
to the big league
Ibid you ever have sore arm?' was
asked of Tony Mullane before Saturday
game. mot that L recall" he answered.
"Of course, | have caught cold in my arm
in the spring. and 1t has been little weak
and lame and sometimes it has not worked
just right but it has never been what they
call a sore arm. That sore-arm dodge is in
for being hit hard. Nobody ever heard me
use it, and / have been pitching about as
long any of them. Detroit Free Press.
Yet Tony made that identical sore-arm ex-
game with Kansas City Aug. %. Tony tells
it nicely, though, when he's away from home.
A correspondent wants to know if ST. Paul
ever won the pennant. 1t came near it in
1884 The Northwestern league went up be-
fore the close of the season, and of the last
two clubs, st. Paul stood the higher and won
the last game. If the league had lasted, st.
Paul would probably have won the pennant.
For the past four days the Pioneer Press
has printed table in which it appears that
Indianapolis has won fifteen games from Mil
waukee and Milwaukee has won six games
from Indianapolis. And yet even the Pho
neer Press ought to know that no two teams
have the right to play and have recorded
over twenty games. Indianapolis has only
won fourteen games from Milwaukee.
A row that took place in the dressing room
of the Cleveland club after the game Satur-
day has just come to light. McAleer was
suspended over Sunday on account of It,
During the tenth inning of the game fly
in a better position to throw 1t home and
Tebeau yelled to Blake to take 1t, which
Blake did. After the game was over, in
the dressing room McAleer began to abuse
Blake for taking the fly. Blake stood the
talk, but Tebeau took it up and told McAleer
that he was wrong, and that Blake did right
to follow instructions and take the fly. There
upon McAleer turned the batteries of his
abuse upon Tebeau, called him very insult
came between the two men and prevented
further trouble. Tebeau then and there sus-
pended McAleer for the season, but the latter
onered an humble apology, and Monday aft
ernoon McAleer, Tebeau and Blake all PLAYED
in the same game.
