BASE BALL NOTES,

L ne tHlFu ana last game OF the series ana
season with Brooklyn will be played by the
Senators in Brooklyn today. Bresnehan or
McJames is carded for today's game and
a victory should come our way. If we win
we go back into the first division.
Pitcher Dunkle pitched for the Philles
yesterday and held the Orioles down to
five hits. This is the man Umpire Kelley
recommended to Mr. Wagner, but before he
could be secured. the Quaker manager
stepped in and gobbled the big fellow.
This is the luck of base ball. Dunkle had
never pitched in one of the big minor
leagues. but yesterdays game emphati-
cally demonstrates that this is no criterion
to go on. Bresnehan belongs in The same
class, and look at the good work he has
done.
The Pittsburg club is driving new players
into its fold at great rate these days.
First BaSeman CANCEL of the Grand Rapids
team was signed On Thursday, and yester-
day Pitcher Fry. of the Hartford team was
corralled. CANCEL is brother of the Bos-
ton catcher and is well spoken Of Fry is
a Washington boy and belongs over on
the Hartfords this season. and with good
support should make a good showing in
the smoky city.
The Boston magnates have requested
President Young to attend the Baltimore
Boston games and also have two nmaireS
along with him Both Emsle and Hurst
should ofticiate in these games for the good
of the spCrt. Lynch has refused to offciate
in game where Baltimore is one of the
clubs. so that the good men have mario we'd
down 10 Robert and Timothy.
The Brooklyn Eagle says that the deal
for Jack Doyle has been closed, and that
the Baltimore first baSeman will cover that
position for the Brooklyns next season.
This will be news to the Baltimore papers,
as they have ridiculed the idea of Jack
leaving tie Oriole aggrega ton.

vania pitchers just at present Dunkle's
good work has led him to believe that
there others up in the coal region,
and yesterday he signed Pitcher Lipp, who
has been playing with the Sunbury team
all season, the same club from which Dun
kle graduated.
Have you ever seen game won from
the Baltimores at home without a yell GO
ing up about the umpire? Being outtelded
and outbatted never ertGrs into the games
over there. Yesterday the birds we've clear
ly outplayed in the second game, yet UNI
pire Carpenter is blamed for the defeat.
Carpenter also officiated in the first game.
but nothing is said about his; work. 1t is
generally the case that an umpire is good
in Baltimore only when he favors the home
club
The Brooklyns are in exactly the same
class with the Senators, regards to play
ing at home. Nothing is too hard for them
when they are surrounded by jolliers, but
the hard, grinding yells and taunts hurled
sap all their energy. 1t Is for this reason
alone that Captain Brown and Mr.. Wagner
are looking for new players for next sea-
son.
Jake Gettman failed to get a hit yester-
day, but don't lose sight of the fact that
Duke" Farrell slammed out two doubles.
Charley has come back to right-hand bat
ting. and. from his recent work with the
stick, the move appears TO be good one.
Little De Mont had only two errors at
home in 100 chances. but he seems to be
tearing them off right regularly at Brook
Ign.
Base ball must be getting pretty exclu-
sive in Cleveland. Attendance AGO." is a
line that must send cold shivers into the
heart of the treasurer.
Charley Nichols of the Bostons has
pitched forty-one games this season, and
thirty-two Of them have been victories.

The Rrooklyns as poor as they stand in
the race, have either won or tied every
western club in the season series, which
cannot be said of the other eastern clubs
who are now in the lead.
When the Baltimore cranks and writers
take to criticising the team for its unde-
sirable tactics there is no time for out
siders to doubt that the champs are play
