Unless The BroOklyns improve in their
play mt once their followers will become
possessed of fear that the pennant is
not booked to fly over Washington Park
next season. For some unaCCountable rea-
son the team has taken big tumble in
batting. and tneir pitchers. who were NOW
ing opponents down early in the race, have
been rather easy marks There can he no
doubt hat Hughes. Mcjames, and Dunn
have been a TIN" overworkcd. Particularly
is this true in Dunns case. On the bench,
while this trio has been working. Kennedy,
Maui, ana Yeagur have sat, Stll drawing
pay. Maui has not been In shape. but Ken
nedy. Il horse for work ana Il FIRST class
speed merchant, has not received chance
in the box for nearly two months, although
he has been ready for business, with the
exception OF week which was spent in
recovering from heat p"ostration. icagcr,
who pitched well last season, has also
joyed enforced illcn"ss. although he could
not do much worse than Mechanics has done.
These few points are pertinent III view OF
the hamnleriug MrJames received AZ the
hands of the weak hitting New lorks on
last Friday and the rough deal suffered by
Dunn yesterday. II iIanlon will let Dunn
have short rest, and work Kennedy, the
former may be OF great value in the final
rush down the stretch.
The New Works up 10 yesterday had not
won a game in nearly three weeks. but as IT
da~ned upon them that the BroOklyns were
not playing their usual game, the Harlem
ties braCed up. In the last three innings
the New Works surprised the crowd and
themselves with the cleanest kind Of hit
ting, and thereby clinChCd a victory that
was well deserved. Big Meekm pitched
grand game after the first inning. He had
great speed and splendid control. besides
enjoying fine support from Davis. Grady,
o Brien, and DOYLE. to say nothing Of the
veteran Van Iialtren, who dragged down
half dozen flies.
The game was marred by kicking OF the
Eenseless sort on the part of Warner who
tried his best TO run matters despite the
presence OF the official umpirrs. Gaffney
and Latham. The latter, by the way, made
a good impression as judge of base decisions,
in which he was always correct. Owing to
a bunder by Manager IIoey in giving last
Fridays batting order to Umpire Gatfney
before the game instead Of yesterdays or
der, there was long wrangle i'll the second
inning, which finally Strengthened out
after Gaffney had consulted with everybody
within reach. The fielding OF Dahlen was
the only redeeming feature of the Brook
lyns performance.
