Shake Up Among the Giants.

According to the New York newspapers it
is evident there is to be a shake I'D in the
ranks of the Giants on account of their dis
astrous western trip. 1t is stated that the
officials of the club are at a loss to figure
out how the team could lose nine straight
games, all that were played, and they in
tend to ascertain the cause 1t is not
among the impossibilities that another
manager to succeed Fred Hoey may be
secured.
Already the club has taken steps to
strengthen the nine by buying the release
of jimmy Andrews from MINNEAPOLIS for
price said to be $500. Andrews is con-
s1dered one of the best third basemen in the
base runner.
During the last western trip of the east
ern teams Baltimore did the best work.
winning eight out of eleven games. while
Boston came next with six victories and
four defeats. Brooklyn played ten games
capturing half of them. Washington took
four out of nine and PHILADELPHIA four out
of ten, while the Giants trailed away ,e-
hind with no victories and nine defeats
Never in the history of the national game
has New York team stood as, low in a
championship race does the present one
The result of the games played in the
west caused the displacement of Philadel-
phia from second place by Boston, the
former losing twenty-seven points. Balti-
more advanced from fifth to fourth place
by gaining fifteen points, while st. Louis
dropped from fourth to fifth position bv
seven points, and fell from ninth to tenth
place.

A match game of tennis was played on
the Casino court, Newport, yesterday, by
Mrs John Jacob Astor and ]. III. Pos
tlethwaite against the Earl of Yarmouth
and Miss Anna Sands. 1t was an exciting
contest, and was watched by hundreds of
spectators, who were seated in the private
boxes of the horse show. The play started
in fun, and the first set was won by the
earl and Miss Sands, Ga, 81, "a. This
rather put the defeated pair on their met
tie, and in the interval between the sets
several boxes of gloves were wagered on
the result.
The second set went to Mrs. Astor and
Mr.. Postlethwaite, 81, &C, 90. At this
stage of the match the bets of gloves
were doubled, and excitement ran high. In
the final set the first game went to the
earl and Miss Sands. Poor playing in the
next lost himself and his partner the game.
Before the final and deciding game was
played all four contestants partook of rest
and refreshments. By that time the earl
was at his best, and he and Miss Sands
won the concluding game, the match and
many boxes of gloves for Miss Sands. The
