Base Ball Notes.

Lush's throw from deep left to the home
plate, catching Parrot, was one of the

Is evidently keeping hands off.
Selbach'S absence Is very much felt, par

noticeable. The little German went to bat
in the ninth in place of Abbey and secured
safe hit. but his game leg stopped him
at the initial bag.

given out that his throwing 20 Sc :ond was
very weak. Since his arrival in Washing
ten Charleys right arm seems to be in

Orioles will have to win five ont off fou ne

fourteen to beat Cleveland if Tebeau's men
win every game.
If Cincinnati and Cleveland each lose
three ONT or thirteen. and that would be
great work for either of them, Baltimore
could win today's game and lose the other
dozen and still be at the top.
n baltimore wins today's games and
cleveland loses; only two out Of thirteen
