Tho New Yorks and Brooklyns will begin
thoir second Western trip to-day, the former
playing In Pittsburg and tho latter In st. Louis.
Capt. Joyce has succeeded In moulding his
team into winning form, and tho cranks arc
hopeful that tho disastrous record of the nino
on the last Western trip will bo wiped out.
When tho New Yorks won't West carly last
May they opened in Louisville. They lost one
gamo and were prevented from playing the
other two games scheduled because OF rain.
One of these games was played off In this city
last month, but there Is still some doubt as to
it's legality, several clubs claiming that 1t was
transferred without the proper consent. There
fore it is possible that Joyce will double up one
Of the coming games in Louisville, thereby play
ing of four games In all In that city.
Al Cincinnati, tho next city visited by tho
Harlem players, all three games were lost.
Tho New Yorks dropped two out of three In
Pittsburg. and only played two in Cleveland,
winning one. The other game, which was pro-
vented by rain, was played Off at tho Polo
Grounds, but 1t will have to come before the
magnntes to BIO pronounced official. Joycos
men won two games out of three games at Chi
cago, and then came home TO play three games,
which were legally transferred from st. Louis,
