CURRENT SPORTING NOTES
TOday's Game and Weather.
Chicago at Cleveland, clear.
Record of the Clubs.


The season of 1897 for the Eastern League
closes today, and The Evening Star is en-
abied to givs the details Of the relations
existing between the management Of the
Washington Base Ball Club and the club
representing Toronto in the minor organi-
cation. These details could no: have been
given to the public earlier, for the reason
that the players OF both clubs would have
been handicapped, and the good standing
of the two clubs in the race for the cham
pionship greatly impaired.
Mr.. Earl Wagner has selected the follow
ing six players of the Toronto team for
trial with the Washington club next sea-
sen; Snyder, catcher; Dirneen, pitcher; Nc
Gam, first base; Wagner, third base:
White and McHale, outfielders. The bat
terry is first taken under consideration:
Dinneen has been touted by experts as be-
ing the equal, if not the superior, of Will
lis, lately purchased from Syracuse by
Boston, and the general opinion is that he
Will do in the big league. Snyder, above
referred to, is wonderfully quick on his
feet, q good thrower and heavy hitter,
and is pronounced the find of the Eastern
League season. For this battery Boston
offered $500, 5000 for Dinneen and 81, 500
for Snyder, but as the Wagners had first
choice the offer was refused.
With the addition of these players it is
hoped to fill in the weak places on the
senatorial aggregation; but Mr.. Earl Wag
ner assured The Star reporter that before
any of the old men are allowed to CO. the
new men will have to demonstrate con-
clusively that they are the superiors of the
old men.
Mr.. Wagner says he will play no favor
ties. If McGann can play first base as well
as Tucker, he will supplant that hard
working player, he is Toms equal with
the stick and much speedier man on the
bases. The same applies to Reilly at
third, as Wagner is better sticker and
quick on his feet. McHale and White will
be given thorough trials in the outfield,
and should they prove good ores, Captain
Brown says he will quickly resign from
field duty and run the club from the bench.
Mccain is the best-krown of the new
men. He played second for Boston in '96,
when Lowe was sick, and although slow by
comparison with that great player, did
more than fairly well, and battedr away
above the average. His stick work is what
recommended him to Irwin, and he has
been plunking the bingles out all season
with wonderful regularity.
Wagner, the third basemap, is brother
of the man lately signed by Louisville from
Paterson. in the Atlantic League. He is
short and stocky, and said to be the equal
of the Louisville man. White has been
playing left and McHale center field for
has been praised all over the Eastern
League circuit. Their greatest recommen-
dalton is fleetness of foot, being great base
runners, but with the stick they are also
handy, being over 300 per cent hitters.
The following averages, covering the sea-
son up TO about a week ago, are taken
from the Toronto Mail and F.mnira.

The Philadelphia Press has "a following
account of yesterdays game with Wash
iEgton in Philadelphia:
Shugart and Lajoie hit the ball in vital
spot at the proper moments yesterday af-
ternoon and victory was wrested from
Washington just when they thought they
had the Phillies beaten.
1t was a brilliant wind up Of the season
and made Billy Shettsline wish the race
could be started ali ever again. Shugart's
poke was welcomed, especially by those
who have wished the hustling short stop
success in his efforts to play good ball,
and came after three errors by him. none
OF which, however, did any damage. 1t
followed base on balls to Lajoie in the
eighth and consisted of a drive over the
right-held fence, which tied the score. The
hit was all the more notable because a
regular gale blew across the field, which
not only held the ball back. but also curved
1t SO that 1t was very near the foul mark
when it disappeared behind the fence. La
joie for the third time this month had the
honor of making the hit which sent in the
winning run in the ninth inning. One was
out and Cooley on second when Delahanty
appeared at the bat. and he could have
throttled Swain when the elongated twirl-
er purposeiy gave him four balls.
Despite their numerous errors. both
teams played brilliantly at times Shugart

or stops. Both teams found it hard to
bunch hits. and Dunkle was unusually

The table shows in the first two columns under
each club how many games may be and lost to
produce the total number of won and lost for the
season in the adjoining columns All the percent
ages possible to be made from now to the end Of
the season are given.
Baltimore can row lose as often as Bos-
ton and still win by narrow margin-3
points-but Baltimore has enc more game
than Boston to play. The Orioles should
win five out of the seven to be played-that
is. two from Boston and three from Wash
fnSton-makirg a total of 90 won and 30
lost, or a percentage of .10S. Then Bos-
Ton, having lost two games Ito Baltimore),
could only win four. making a total of 93
won and 30 lost, or a percentage of .705.

one of the most prominent women ply
scians to Star reporter "A woman doc

periences. My very latest one happened
this week, and ii is too good to keep.
THE servants had gone out for the even-

Friends of the family were spending an
hour or so with us, and We were having
merry time, when the bell rang.
Il went to the door and opened il. There

with a fairly good face. Thinking that il

my needy patients, l asked him what he
wanted. When he replied that he wished
to see the doctor 1 questioned him, to
make sure there was no mistake as to
what doctor it was he wished to see.
After glancing at my sign, which, I'M
fortunately, was but dimly lighted from a
street lamp across the way, he said: DIR.

thereon. Feeling certain that everything
was all right, j answered with cordiality,

THE man seemed much confused. oh!
Ahem! All! he stammered. 1t seemed as
though he could not rise to the occasion.
Making a desperate effort, and having in:
mind the request he originally intended to
make, he blurted out, with a red face, L
wanted to know If the doctor could help me
out with a shirt or a pair of pants. I've
been out of work and Here he stopped,
unable to get any farther for evidently he
had remembered that the doctor was a

at Milwaukee yesterday. Pointer won the
first heat in 2O34, breaking the state

false starts the PAGERS finally got away
