vious they had an off day.
A sharp liner from GREEN'S bat in the
13-inning Chicago game is responsible for
keeping Nichols out of the game with a
lame hand.
Worcester must keep hustling to hold

trip with such short margin.
Springfield is now in second place, and
very close to Worcester, the leader. Per-

headers only.-Springfield Republican.
Some of the Worcester contingent got
a few dollars on the victory of Harvard S

didn't make an entry. But how long, 0
Lord! how long, does Mcguire require for

No boxer ever worked more conscien-
tiously than Joe Flahef.l1 IS doing for

has the good wishes of everybody who
knows him, and many of the latter know
Sweeney well. too.
Billy Hamilton reports that his - is

had his leg blistered and expects that
he can resume playing when the Bostons

ball player who ever held that position
is Dan Brouthers, who is known as the

The race between Charlie Lewis and
Amos Kubic of Springfield, July A, ought
to be a hot one, with chances in favor
of the worcester boy and Kubic won't
have to fall out of his boat at that. But
Charlie mustn't allow his head, to grow
too large. There are other scullers, and
there are several good ones between him
and the top of the list.
No one familiar with base ball in Bos-
ton has fault to find with Frank Selee,
Boston's ideal manager. Ii the base ball

price, for Boston must have the very
best.-Boston Globe.
G. Fleschmann's Sons and their Jockey,
W. Martin, have agreed to disagree. Mar
tin has been riding for them at a salary
of $500, but has not been up to form. He
has lost several races which the Fleisch-
MAINS think he should have won and
upon which they have bet heavily. The
outcome of a heated argument yester-
day was that Martin resigned and his
employers accepted. Martin is now free
man.
If Pedlar Palmer, the champion bantam
of England, is really DESTROYS of meeting

Athletic Club. yesterday cabled to Palmer
an offer of a $4,000 purse for a 25-round
bout between the Englishman and the
winner of the McGovern-R Richie contest,
which. takes place before that club next
Saturday afternoon. Provided Palmer
accepts, the proposition, the club will
take pictures of the battle and give Is

Taken altogether, this is the most liberal
inducement. ever offered to little fellows,
and If Palmer is sincere in his expressed
desire to fight, he will accept.-Brooklyn
Eagle.
