Dreyfuss. Proud of His Team.

Barney Dreyfuss. of Pittsburg. thinks
his team could defeat the champions of
the American league without much
trouble in a series of post-season games.
Anyway, he is willing to put up SIS, 1000 for
his team to play for against the Chicago
Americans, allowing that the Chicagos
will win the American league pennant.
I'VE are stronger than the Chicagos at
pretty near every POSITION he says.
"Bransfield is better hitter than Isbell
and just as good a fielder. Ritchey is a
faster man and covers more ground than
DAILY, and although Geo. Davis is fine
shortstop, I think Wagner is his superior.
Leach is better man than strang at
third, and in the outield, with Davis,
Beaumont and Clarke, we certainly are
better off, covering more ground and be-
ing better throwers and batters In pitch
ers there is nothing to it but Pittsburg
and while they say Mcfarland and Sui
Ivan are better pair of catchers than
OCennor and Smith the latter two are
good enough for me- Part of the games
would have to be played with the foul
strike rule and part without, and the use
of the rule would handicap them while
its absence would benefit us: If a series
was played, doubt if the Chicagos would
win a game. I don't believe in any divi-
sion of the receipts but in playing for all
nothing -

NEWPORT, R. L, Aug. 26.-The interna-

ca, IN the final round Of the national lawn
tennis tennis Championship was won by the

tory over Doherty in the Davis cup event
at Bay Ridge, it was generally expected
he would score today or put up a hard
ngnt; But as in every other match which
the Engllshmen have played, it was the
american who did the hard work. That
Whitman, with all his experience, should
have been duped into playing running
game, was one of the surprises Of the
day, while another was his inability to
stand the pace
Neither the Sets nor the games were
long, but after three sets, with total of
twenty five games, had been played, the
American pulled up winded, and the sew

MERGERS Case a WARNING.

Going to the American league looks
like extremely dangerous business to me, -
said Demontreville, of the Boston Ma
tional League.
"At one time I thought these American
League people were on the level in the
matter of treating their players, but many
instances that have come to light show
that they are as little to be trusted as
any persons that ever were interested in
baseball. No club owner is looking to give
his players the best of it, and when the
American people try to put themselves up
as saints compared to the magnates Of
the National, it makes me laugh.
Take the case of Mercer, of the
Washington club of last season Mercer
was induced to leave New York by the
promise Of a much larger salary than Mr..
Freedman was paying him. After he had
pitched for Washington for some time he
was released. He could not go back to
the National League, and when he tried
to catch on with some other club in the
American he was informed that the
Washington club alone had right to his
services. Then the Washington club
came along and offered him his old place
again, but at a smaller salary than New
York had paid him the year before. Mer-
Ger had to accept It or not work at ALL
and so he went back to Washington. This
is only one case of several where faith
was broken with players-and it will be
done again whenever opportunity offers"

Little Marcan refused to see anything

Walloped the ball every time he was of

Hurley's throwing was one of the feat
ur?s or the game. With men on first and
third ready to work the double steal, the
catcher refused to be frightened, and in
stead of working the old short-throw
trick, whipped the ball clean to second
and got his IMAM.

midable opponent was his half brother,

but Geers drove in front when he
wanted that place. 1t was Scott Hud-
