The PhilIies bit the dust again yester-
day at New York. the Giants winning
easily by II to 3. Pitcher Piatt gave ten
bases on balls and the fielding of the
Quakers was very weird eight misplays
being marked against them.

Base Ball Notes.
Hard luck.
Robbed by the umpire.
Weyhing's pitching was first-class.
Reitz has been doing splendidly, but he
slipped Two cogs yesterday.
Anderson failed to get hit.
Jim Mcclure stole base
Wrigleys work at short was q feature
of the game.
Jack Doyle was still missing yesterday
and will be for d week yet.
SWEETS played short for Boston and did
Well.
Boston's win and Cincinnati's defeat yes
terday sent the former close up TO the top
of the championship ladder.
Merce: will probably do the twiring today
for the Senator's while Klobedanz will be
on the rubber for ne Beaneaters.
McHaic is playing Ike a house afire for
the Rochesters in the Eastern League. He
recently made four hits in one game,
greater showing at the bat than he made
during the whole period he was with The
Senators.
1t seems to be the general impression
among Manager Hanion'S friends in Wash
ingtOn that he intends to get out of Bal
timore. lie will first make as much money
as possible through the sale of players and
then go to another city, Philadelphia pre-
sumably. What a great deal it would be
to land the Orioles manager in the Quaker
city.
Center Fielder Walter Brodie returns to
the Baltimore camp, after varied expert
Ghce with the Pirates Manager l1anlon
traded Brcdie and Donnolly for Stencil and
o'Brien. and this swap went TO the Balti-
more managers credit as one of his gold
brick performances. Now Hanion gecs
Brodie for nothing and Pittsburg pays a
Dig price for O'Brien.
There was u rumor in Louisville yester-
day that the Louisville club had traded
Clingman for Lajoe of Philadelphia. Capt.
Clarke says there is no truth in the report.
However, it is believed there is some cicker
on between the clubs.
George Cuppy of the Cleveland base ball
team will go to his home in Logansport.
Ind, July l, to remain until his arm IS
again in pitching trim, unless 1t should In
the meantime be whipped into shape by the
massage treatment to which ii is being
subjected. Cuppy has been notified by the
officials of the club that he will be expect
ed to be in condition to pitch by July l.

until he can go again into the box.
AT Wednesdays game between Mansfield
and Springfield Umpire Warner called
Catcher Belt of Mansfield out on strikes
and the latter retaliated by throwing
bat at him. Belt was put out of the game.
and after the players returned to the no.
tel Belt struck the umpire with mis- mask.
They were separated, but later in the even
ing the two met and renewed the quarrel.
1t is said Warner invited the catcher 20
his room, locked the door and then admin
istered pronounced beating. in which he
landed many safe hit. Belt did not play
yesterday, and Law took his place.
Il see that Heiney Peitz declares that
Beckley didn't touch Joyce at first the
other day. when "Scrappy' threw the ball
at him. said Manager Tebeau yesterday.
Il am not finding excuses for Joyces &C
ton, but Beckley has injured more men on
the diamond than any other three players.
When he was in Pittsburg the Cincinnati
papers continually referred to him as the
spking artist He put me out of the
game for three months in 1891, and the
same injury has kept me on the bench from
two to six weeks season ever since. Oh.
no. Jake didn't touch Joyce!
The Colonies want Bug Holiday, more
likely to cover right. Manager Ewing was
approached yesterday and asked to put a
price on the outfielder. which he did. but
1t didn't suit the purse of the kentuckianS
and there has been no deal. I'VE can very
well afford to let a fielder CO." said Man
ager Ewing last night, but we can't en-
terrain what the LOUISVILLE club wants to
pay for him. No, I don't think there is
much chance of Holiday going to Louis
vile unless there should be material ad-
vance In the price offered"
A dispatch from New York says that
deal may be made involving a general ex-
change of players between Baltimore, Phil
adelpha and New York. Just how such a
three-cornered deal would be made is en-
tirely speculative. Although Mr. Hanlon
has declared that he would stand pat on
his present team. a deal would not be sur
prising. The wretched attendance at re-
cent games in Baltimore. in spite of the
fact that the Baltimore club is in the run
ming for leadership may lead to many de-
velopments. as the salary list and expenses
of the club are so great that non-support
puts the retention of players beyond the
sentimental stage. Large salaries and
many of them. must be paid. and a contin-
ual loss cannot be withstood without the
danger of some of the star players figur-
ing in deal.
