DEFEAT GRACEFULLY ACCEPTED.

The Victors Cbeered in Baltimore.
The ex-ChampiOns Go to Pieces in
the Game.
Baltimore, Sept. SO-The "ghost of a
chance" that Baltimore had to win the
pennant for next season no longer exists.
1t vanished early in to-day's game when
the Senator's fell upon DIR. Ponds curves,
batted him out of the box and took good
long lead in the fourth inning, after which
the orioles seemed to lose heart and played
Istlessly and without ambition. In the
meantime the score board was showing
how easily the Bostonians were taking
their game away from Barnie's men in
Brooklyn and the last vestige of hope
slowly died out in the breasts OF the hand
full of faithful "rooters," who still chung to
the belief that Brooklyn might take one
from the leaders and give the birds a
chance to catch up by winning all four
from the Senator's. Those who have stud
led the game closely, however, had no such
hope, as it was apparent to them that
the Washington men had been playing in
better form than have those from Brook
Ign in recent games and then 1t was known
that the Washington management was
very anxious TO win at least one from Bal
timore and would not be displeased to
have the pennant go to Boston. To them,
therefore, the result of to-days game was
not unexpected, and it is not saying too
much to assert that the result is not al
together unwelcome in Baltimore, for the
reason that it is generally admitted that
Boston has proved to have the better club
in the recent remarkable series played in
Baltimore, and all lovers of the game no
matter what their prejudices, are content
to see the trophy of the championship fall
80 the lot of the best team.
The outcome of both games were watch
ed, however, with great interest and wher-
ever crowds gathered. bulletins were read
to them. In almost every instance the
news that Boston had clinched it, and
that the championship was no longer in
doubt, was received with satisfaction, and
In some cases with cheers.
ms Was notably the case at Pimlico,
Where the result by innings was read from
the announcer's box during the trotting
races IN progress there. A postponed game
VIII be played tomorrow, and, with Sat
ufdays contest, the season in Baltimore
VIII come to an end. On Sunday morn
ing. the Orioles will depart for Boston
with the hope that they may at least save
we Temple cup, and gather in the lions
snare of the gate receipts.
