STILL AFTER BRUSH.
New Workers Want the Post-Season
Games PLAYED.


President John T. Brush of the New York
National League club yesterday made no
answer to the challenge Of the Greater
New Yorks to play the Giants post-sea-
son series of games in case the Highland
ers win the American League pennant.
At the Polo grounds Secretary Fred
Knowles said: Mr. Brush has not received
any challenge. and, of course, cannot
answer"
President Gordon of the Hghlanders said
last night: Il sent the challenge to Mr..
Brush by registered letter on Sunday last.
However. If he has not received 1t l will
see that he gets copy.
President John l. Taylor of the Boston
Americans has been heard from In regard
to challenging the Giants.
a special from Boston says that John /.
Taylor, president of the Boston Americans,
when asked last evening If Boston would
challenge the New York National League
team, said: II shall issue no challenge now,
but if Collins and his team win the pen
nant Mr.. Brush will certainly hear from
me, as 1 shall be willing to play him under
any reasonable conditions.
las President Gordon has already issued
a challenge for the Highlanders, Mr.. Brush
may make arrangements for a post-season
series with the winner in the American
League if he cares to play one.
The New York World gives four reasons
why Mr.. Brush should have the Giants play
~
lows:
Il He owes it to the National League.
for by his team winning the National
League championship he is the custodian
of the National Leagues honor and repu-
taton. The custodianship has descended to
him. He owes it to the National League to
win back the title of worlds champions lost
by it last year. if it is in his power to do SO,
and surely the stake is worthy the trial
.'2. He owes it to his players to play the
series, because If he does not it deprlves
them of the fruits of victory. And surely
1t is not fair for him to allow his personal
grievances. real of imagined. to stand in
the way of the men who have been so loyal
to him and his club.
IS. He owes it to the public-the great
public-for it paid his own prfncely salary
and the salaries of his players, and also
made base ball possible. And the public
wants the series played. There should not
be the least hesitation in granting the pub
lies wishes, for a positive demand might
follow. Public opinion is good thing to
cater to, but very bad thing to monkey
with.
a McGraw owes 1t to himself because
the public will cry coward if he does not.
and can easily see through the thin veil of
his protest.

INTERCOLLEGIATE TENNIS.
LIE Roy of Columbia beat Whitman OF
Harvard in Hard Match.

The second days play in the intercollegi-
ate championship lawn tennis tournament
on the courts of the Merton Cricket CluD'
at Haverford, near Philadelphia, yesterday,
resulted in bringing the singles to the semi
final round and in the completion of all but
two matches in the ' first round of the
doubles.
The best match in the singles was be-
tween Robert LIE Roy of Columbia and h
H. Whitman of Harvard. Three sets were
necessary for a decision, every game De-
ing hotly contested. LIE Roy made many
brilliant plays, but Whitman was a trine
the steadier. LIE Roy. however, Won the
deciding set the score in his favor being
Cd, t6, 6-3.
. Another interesting match was that be-
tween E. B. Dewhurst of the University
of Pennsylvania, the present intercoiiegi-
ate champion, and +. SunStein of Prince
ton. Dewhurst won the first set by 6-2
He fell off in his play in the second, and
several times Sunstein was within one
point of the set. Dewhurst finally won by
10.
B. S. Prentice of Harvard defeated A
J. Kendall of Princeton in straight sets
and ]. J. B. Larned of Harvard disposed
of M. L. Thompson of Princeton. the
semi-fnals will be played today, Dewhurst
meeting Prentice, and LIE Roy playing
Larned.
In the doubles five matches We're played
and the contests were in most cases very
even. Rendell and Richardson of Prince
ton won both their matches, defeating
Spaulding and Stetson of Yale, and LIE
Roy and Buckley of Columbia.
A feature of the doubles IS the entry OF
Japanese player, M. Takake, who rep
resents Pennsylvania and is paired with
Dewhurst.~N They have not yet played, but
will meet Prentice and Whitman of Har-
ward today. The Japanese is an experienced
player, having won championships in his

iron from the st. Stephens Institute team

HANLoN'S WISE MOVE.
Valves Claim to Pitcher Corbett to
Prevent Base Ball War.

The reason why the Brooklyn club declin-
ed to push it's claim for Pitcher Joe Corbett,
released to Hanlon by the st. Louis Cardl-
rails. before the national commission has
lust come to light. 1t illustrates how anX-
icus players are for another war OF some
kind that will allow them to jump their
contracts, and shows how sacrifices must be
made at times in order to prevent trouble
When 1t became known to managers OF the
Pacific Coast League that break was i'm
minent In the national agreement because
of the Brooklyn clubs protest against Joe
Corbett playing with San Francisco. they
instructed certain players In their conn-
dence to wire to player friends on various
eastern teams to hold off on signing con-
tracts for next season, as in case OF war
between the leagues of the east and the Pa
cific coast organization there would be good
berths at advanced salaries for stars out in
California.
Manager Hanlon of the Brooklyns early
scented some sort of conspiracy, and by
diligent inquiry he learned that several OF
his players had decided to jump him in case
the agreement was broken. Knowing that
the reserve clause in the contracts of these
players would not hold in the courts, and
realizing that the fight for Corbett would
probably result in nothing better than his
retirement from the game, provided the
Pacific Coast League stood by the national
agreement-which was extremely unlikely
under the circumStanceS-Manage Hanlon
decided to execute a little coup of his own
that would check his anxious-to jump play
ers and save his good men for him. So he
simply and wisely waived all claim to Cor
bett for this season, thus settling any con-
tention that the Pacific National League
might bring forth. By SO doing he saved
himself and all the other leagues in the
east from the troubles of raids by the Pa
cific Coast League, and insured peace in
base ball for the time being at least. Had he
not done so he and other big league owners
would have been held up for exorbitant sal
aries or would have lost their choicest men
through raiding.
