In arranging game with the Bostons to be
played at National Park this week, the George
town club claims tha, the Princeton team viii
violate good faith with them-that they are
scheduled 20 play with Princeton on the l4th
instant, and that, TO sly the least, it is in bad
taste for them TO play an exhibition game here
with any club until after they have played their
regularly scheduled game. The Georgetown kick
Is not without reason.
In the game with the Georgetowns on Friday
the Phillies did not show that they were in the
best possible condition Tor their early spring
work. The outheld. Thomas, Flick, and S!agle,
seemed TO be imbued with 4 proper baseball
spirit, but the infcld was heavy and slow In its
movements. Delehanty played first in good form
and viii doubtless be kept at that bag. &c Il the

mediocre in other departments Of the game. 1t
has often been stated that the owners Of the
Philadelphia Club do not desire pennant- wiz
ming team. Their failure TO strengthen the olS.
with the splendid opportunities TO do so entirely
available, is decidedly corroborative of this opin-
ion. Colonel Rogers is continually chasing rain
bows in the way Of making bluff offers for players
he knows he cannot get. instead of signing those
whom he can easily get and who Will add
strength TO his aggregation.
