There Is Great Suspense and Excitement
in Baltimore.
Baltimore, Md, September 26.-Af-
ter two days Of almost breathless eX-
element and suspense have been pass
ed safely the third and most moment
Gus day of the base ball year is await
ed by thousands of local fans" with
prayers for favorable weather first and
success for the home team next in to-
mcrrow's game between the Baltimores
and Bostons-the final one, the last of
the series between these two leading
teams. AS for the weather every indi-
cation points to realization of their
fondest hopes and it is probable that
with good conditions Saturdays large
attendance will be equalled-possibly
eXceeded-by those who will journey
to Union Park to witness to-morrows
battle royal"
The unchecked and unquenchable en-
thusiasm Of the one hundred and fifty
Boston rooters is making the Eutaw
House the scene of continuous activity
and excitement. They are a confident
lot OF rooters, and are already prepar-
ing for great demonstration over
their prospective victory. The Boston
team themselves, if they are as con-
fldent as their supporters about WIN
ming, do not display it so conspicuous
ly. They say they will make the fight
OF their lives. The team is in fine
form, and even Collins has got his
black eye into shape Fred Lake is
feeling little under the weather, but
as Bergen will do the catching, he is
not worrying over it. Nichols is al
most sure to pitch for Boston, but who
manager Hanlon will put in is not
quite clear. Corbett is anxious to have
another chance to win, but it is not
probable that he will pitch. Nops or
Hotter are the probabilities Manager
Selee has practically signed Mills, the
new pitcher who is travelling with the
team.
