New York, Sept. 19.-The games to be
played by the Baltimore and Boston teams
this week and next viii decide which team
viii fly the League championship pennant.
between the New Yorks and Bostons has
the fight for first honors been so eX-
citing. The teams are so evenly matched,
and they are playing so consistently, that
the result of their meeting at Baltimore
On next Friday, Saturday and Monday is
awaited viii interest by thousands OF base
ball enthusiasts all over the country.
Eeginning tomorrow the Baltimores viii
play series OF three games with the New
YorEs at the Polo Grounds. The last time
the New Yorks played at Baltimore they
won three out OF four games. IL they are
in anything like the same shape as then
Joyce's men may get two out OF three
games. II, however, they are as
"scrappy' as they were last week, it VIII
not be too much to expect the Baltimores
60 make clean sweep.
After the series with the New Yorks
the BaltInores will meet the Bostons at
Baltimore on the days mentioned above.
The BoStons are confident of taking two
out Cf three games at Baltimore but if
they only win one they still have fight
ing chance, so tie critics believe. SeIees
men have six games to play with the
Brooklyus, three at Boston, beginning to-
morrow, and three at Brooklyn next week.
These and the Baltimore games are the
only ones left for the ex-chafnpions tu
play. The Baltimores, meanwhile, have
three regularly scheduled games with the
Washingtons, to be play on the Cham
pions grounds next week, SO they really
have n harder road To travel from now
TO the end Of the season than the BoS-
tons
SupposiQg that the Baltimores win three
straight from the New Yorks and three
straight from the Washingtons, while the
Bostons win all six or the Brooklyn games,
the championship will be decided by the
three games at Baltimore.
Boston's chance 10 win the pennant, pro
Wiling seIee's men take only one of the
three games at Baltimore, depends upon
the work of the Champions againsC New
York and Washington and the Boston
series with Brooklyn.
Cranks at Boston are figuring on the
Championship in this way: Baltimore TO
lose two out of three a 1 New York, to win
two out of three from Boston at Balti,
more, and 10 take three straightfron Wash
ington. This will give the Champions a
record Of nine tytwo victories, thirty
seven defeats and .713 per cent. Six
victories over Brooklyn by Boston, and
one out OF three games at Baltimore viii
give To Selee's men record OF ninety-four
victories, thirty defeats and .719
per cent, which means first claim on the
pennan5 by six points. In other words, the
Bostons car win the pennant by taking
seven out Of the remaining nine games.
providing the Baltimores lose three out Of
the sa me number.

And Hughey the Hittite looked ever afar

And Hughey the Hittite continued to

Keeler the Sprintite, neither did he per

RAEDY IN FINE FETTLE
Local Boxer Is Confident of Win

RECORD SMASHING KEEPS UP
Two New Figures Established in
Satu rday's Sports-Corbett Draws
the Color Line Against His Old
Opponent, Peter Jackson-Card for
Jones-Banks Contest.

Not in years has a pugilistic battle in
the District attracted as much attention
as the Pat Raedy-Nick Burley contest,
Which will take place at the Spa Athletic
Club next Thursday night.
The former contest between these men
had such unsatisfactory ending that
it was a difficult matter 10 decide who
was really the better man. Raedy held
up his end very creditably up to the time
he los bis head aud commenced to fUul
his opponent. Had hekept cool and fought
steadily he would undoubtedly have been
given draw. AS it was there was 1oth-
ing for the referee To do but stop the
battle aud award the decision to the
California boxer.
Losing the fight on foul taught Raedy
valuable lesson which he will probably
profit ny wnen he next meets Burley- He
Is in tiptop condition for the bout. In
fact, ne never looked better In his life,
and is a credit to the Wash hington outing
Club, where he is doing his work for the
mill.
Burley is a man who is always in good
shape. lie is not a drinker, and on 4 few
days notice can harden himself up for
a stiff battle. If the men do not put up
