FARRELL SCORES BRUSH.

l backer of the American Team Waxea
 Sarcastic in His Remarks. New York, Aug 12.-Local basa hau
 circles are not little agitated oyer thp refusal of the management of the New
 L0rk National league club to allow Lnelr men to cross bats with the New. Iork American league team Withour- entering into any argument on the req sons assigned for the refusal tha ads herents of both sides are none tho Iess disappointed, for all had hoped to see tne question of supremacy settled whes,s the playing season was over.
 Frank Farrell, who has just returnel- rom sojourn at Saratoga. is as much put out over the refusal as anyone and at the same time more outspoken. R& would not mind had the grounds beeE other than those given by Brush. And, 10 show his contempt for the reasons < he Is willing to do most; anything to- bring the teams together on the dia., mond.
 So they think we need some cheal,. advertising and are after the money to De derived from the proposed series. do they?" said the magnate ssWell. if mats all that stands in the way. will De Willing to give the gate receipts to- any worthy charity, or if they are not pig enough for that, will agree to- play With no gate at all Let the thoal-u sands who have supported the game so well during the present season have al lew games at the expense of the club owners. This, I think, will disa buse the minds of the. other side that we, care only for the money. and are in need of advertising.
 \ Our sole purpose in making the pro@ position was to be in line with the other Cities of the two organizations. h them inter-club series are played. and they are as pleasing to the home crowds as are any games played during the year. When the refusal is put ons the ground that We are not it to meet, 1t is simply a case of befouling their own nest. In other words, they simply say that the owners-ce the National league clubs in Philadelphia. Chicago St Louis and Rittsburg are not it asso- ciates for the Giants We'll. if their partners can stand it. we can.
 Great concern seems to have been entertained for the public. Tn fact, it is for their benefit that the games are refused. They are afraid it will be too much of a strain after l0ng sea- son. and that when it is over the public will want rest. How consYderate, As matter of fact. the games already. played have drawn better than have those nlayed in the regular season. and it, will be the same in the fall series. This shows whether the people want to see the two major organizations test their strength. But all the reasons as-l signed are mere subterfuges. There is ; one more potent than all the rest. They are afraid of the result.
 As it now stands, they seem to be the real thing, and they know that should they be beaten-as they surely would besome of the glamour would be taken away. For my part I am glad to see them make good fight, for I am first and last New Yorker. and it matters not fn what way the name of our city is used. |. for one, want to ' see her have the best. That we are1 trying to. give her, and if given an op-i portunity we will show all that it Is ! even now better than they can find ; elsewhere.
