Anropos of Baltimore and Cleveland
playing for the Temple Cup, it may be
interesting to note that Cleveland won
eight Baltimore three and the other was
a tie of the twelve games played between
these clubs this season. 1t is evident that
Cleveland can beat Baltimore as a team.
Cleveland's brace of pitchers, Young and
Cuppy, are stumbling blocks for the ORR
oles They find them harder to hit than
any other pitchers in the league. Balu-
more would rather play the Temple Sc
ries with Cincinnati than with Cleveland,
for with the Reds they would have an
easy thing while with Cleveland 1t is
doubtful if Baltimore can come out win
ners. 1t will, indeed be hard if Baltimore
loses the Temple cup series this year
For the past two years the Orioles have
won the pennant, and in the Temple series
have lost to New York and Cleveland.
Washington has released Lester Ger
man. and he is now looking for an en-
gagement. German, 1t will be remember
ed, was bought from the Augusta team
in the Southern League of 1898 by New
York. His catcher Park sWilson, was
also signed at the same time. German
pitched winning ball for the Giants for
a season, but has done nothing since.
Early this year ne was released by New
York and signed by Washington.
Minneapolis has good lead in the
Western League with Indianapolis second
and Detroit third. Manning's Cowboys
are in fourth place, but are making des-
perate effort to climb up a peg or two.
Tom sharkey, the sailor fighter, is the
most talked of man in pugilistic circles
just now Sharkey first sprang into promi-
nence several months ago, when he SPARED
four rounds with champion ]. j. Corbett
which Sharkey was said to get the better
Of.
Sharkey is well known by many work
ers on the river front. He ran on one of
the steamers plying between here and New
York some years ago, but was never con-
sidered anything of boxer.
Sharkey is matched to fight Corbett some
time in December. John l.. Sullivan and
Sharkey spared in New York last week
Sullivan says it will take a good man to
whip the sailor and intimates that Pom
padour Jim" cannot do it.
Sharkey is quick, clever and powerful.
lie has never been trained for scientific
hghting, but he has an original method,
which, coupled with his physical force
makes him extremely formidable in a con-
test of the ring.
Billy Whistler, who spared Denny Gal
lagher recently in Savannah, is matched
latter part of this month
