HOT AFTER BRUSH.
Baseball Fans Want The POst-Season
 Series.

President Jchn T. Brush's ultimatum to the effect that he will under nof cir cumstances allow the Giants to play post-season series with the winners of the American league pennant, was the one topic of conversation yesterday among the base ball enthusiasts.
 A few support Brush in his stand, arguing that for business reasons it would be bad policy for the Giants to play the Highlanders should they win. This faction has no argument what eyer to offer why the Giants should not challenge the Boston world cham pions, if they win, and endeavor to wrest the title from the Collins team.
 A big majority of New York fans, whether they are National or Ameri- can league sympathizers are firm i'll their opinion that the Giants, to make good, should play the American league champions
 "What right has John T. Brush, ; said one of these, man we'll posted on base ball affairs, ito deprive the base ball public of an opportunity to

ENGLISH FOOTBALL l.
SOME PHASES OF THE SPORT
 AMONG BRITISH woRKMEN.
Game Is Largely Professional and the Workman Is Always Ready to Quit His Job to Root for
 His Favorite Team.

Football is source of trouble in Eng land as in the United States, but in a different way. In the United States the chief complaint against the game is that it occupies too much of the time of col lege students, costs too much money, is dangerous to life and limb, and has a generally demoralizing effect on under graduate athletics.
 Tn England it is not the college stu dents, but the workingmen, who, 1t is claimed, are injuriously affected by foot ball. An article touching on this sub- ject recently appeared in an English magazine, and, the view taken of the question may be of interest to the Amer ican public It appeared in Macmillan's s Magazine and is directly to the point.

IS BRITT sIDBsTEPPING?

A
 Young Corbett has been keeping the wires between New York and San Francisco in a sizzling condition for the last few days, in the hope of re- ceivdng some satisfactory reply from Jimmy Britt.
 It seems now as if Britt was trying to sidestep the return match with Cor bett.
 The latest reports from the coast have it that Britt and Cans are about to be matched. If this proves true, you can rest assured that some of the wise ones in the country will have something, to say about the match, and that what some of them will say will not be at all to the liking of Britt or Cans.
 There is only one man for Britt to meet, first of all, and that is Young Corbett. If he passes up Corbett for Cans the contest will bear all the ear marks of pre-arranged affair between the two.
 Young Corbett has wired to Nose Gunst,- Harry Corbett, Jimmy Britt and W. W. Naughton, sporting editor of the Examiner, asking each and all of them for some information as to what course Britt intends pursuing in the matter, but up >to late hour last night he had received no reply.

THE SPORTING NEWS.

see what would undoubtedly be the most interesting base ball series ever played? He gets his money from the sport-loving public of this city and should consider their wishes. The document sent out by Brush, giving his alleged reasons for not going after the worlds championship, Is the weak est statement of the kind I ever read or heard. In the first place Brushs hidden slur placing the American league in the minor league class IS so stupid it will not even deceive the bat boys at the Polo grounds, to, say noth- ing of any grown person that follows the game.
 Again, the New York president states each year after the strenuous work of playing the schedule the vic torious (National league) club has rest ed from it's work and worn it's laurels unprecedented. How about the Provi. dence- Metropolitan and Detro1t-St Louis series won by the National league? How about the series in 1888 and 1899 when the Giants of old were not allowed to wear their laurels un- questioned? They were challenged by the St Louis and Brooklyn American association clubs and gallantly won for New York the title of world s champions
 '.How about last years series be tween Boston and Pittsburg, in which the Pirates were beaten? 1t certainly looks weak for the grand old time-hon- ored National league to quit after its first defeat.
 Brush also states that the National league comprises the eight largest and most important cities in the United States. Every schoo1boy knows better than that.
 Finally, Brush winds up his state ment with large-sized cry of wolf, for next season he says we will be ready to defend our title in the contest of 1905 against the combined efforts of all the clubs represented in the Ma tional league.' Does Brush think New Workers are soft enough to start out with the idea that there will be a com bination against the Giants next year in the National league?
 .Everybody respects old champions, and many good old has beens have staunch admirerss But when young and vigorous opponent enters any 1eld he cannot be pushed aside by words and slurs.
 Brush should try to be sportsman and allow the Giants to play the Amer ican league winners for the pleasure the series would. afford the bafG ball public of New YArk, that has so<liber- ally and loyalty Supported the Giants during the season now drawing to a close" AsA atRI
 This man pigarely, expressed the opin-- ion of thousands who have followed the fortunes OT thAese two teams for a season. and tley say that the base ball public of New York hates a "Quitter, and Brush will find 1t out in the gate receipts of next season if he persists in his unsportsmanlike methods.

ONLY SIX MEN :.

Ithaca. Sept 27.-The Cornell foot ball training table was started yester- day with only six men, the smallest number ever present, which indicates that Coach Warner will not be nasty in selecting his eleven. The men wno went to the table were Captain Lynah, Damn, Costello, Rice, Halliday and Cook. In yesterdays practice the squad took an apparent slump over its brilliant work of last week. A slug gish twenty-minute serimmage was played, in which neither the scrubs nor the varsity scored The feature of the day was the return of Costello, guard last year, paternal objections having been finally overcome by the diplomacy of Coach Warner and Cap tain Lynah.

sDRIBBL1NG IN AN ENGLISH CAMEL uses up the pocket money of college stu- dents.
 It must be remembered that football In England is largely professional, as baseball is in the United States, and that 1t is played six or eight months fin the year and not confined to two months in the autumn. There are intercolIegiat and interschool matches, but the chief interest in the game. centers in tha matches played by the professional teams. The interest felt in the game can be measured by the attention given it bN the newspapers, Every day the an1 nouncement of games to come, and tna reports of games played the previous day, occupy several columns in thelead9 Ing newspapers, and theSatusday ga6nea demand page and half in Monday mornings newspapers.
 From this it will be seen that football is a much more serious subject in Eng land than in the United States.

Bostons Take Two Games While New York Drops Two-Results of Games Yesterday.

Cleveland. Sept 27.--Cleveland won both games from New York yesterday afternoon, thus putting a scrimpp int the pennant aspirations of the visitors After making game try all season TOT the pennant. the New Yorks left Tor Detroit last night practically broken up, with a crippled team that IS only playing on its nerve, and Chesbro ana Powell ready to be sent to the stable for long rest.
 Chesbro did the pitching in the f1rst game, and he did not have speed or anything to speak of. He tried his snIit ball. but it did not work we'll, oSwino to the fact that he lacked speed, but he was able to get along nicely TOT seven innings, although Clevelands scored in the first. He was batted freely. but fast fielding back of him pulled the New Yorks out Of Dad hole Tn the eighth inning Chesbro lost control of the ball, giving two < passes. and when Bradley bunted, hll- ] ing the bases, Lajoie had chance to do some damage, but he only forced man at the plate, and Stoyall minor ! leaguer. came to bat and sent the ball to deep center field fence, and the two runs that the New Yorks were work ing on went glimmering, for Cleveland took the lead. as StovalPs drive cleared the bases.
 Jones was also batted hard in this game. but sensational fielding, espe- cially the work by Turner, saved sey- eral runs. He accepted thirteen chances without an error, started two double plays, and pulled down three line drives with men on bases.
 Jack Powell did the pitching in the second game, and although the boiler maker pitched great ball. still he threw the game away, as Chesbro did in the first game, when he forced in, two runs on a free pass and hitting batter, but Ganzel had an opportunity to save him this trouble had he held Elberfeld's throw and covered the bag quicker on another throw. Powell has probably pitched his last game Of the season. Tn the fifth inning line. drive from Turner's bat struck him on the kneecap and bounded far over Ganze's head into right field, being good for two bases. Last evening EowelFs leg was so badly swollen that he could hardly walk without the assistance of a cane. 1t was only his pluck that allowed him to pitch through the game. The score:
