COMMENT ON SPORTS.

amateur and Professional.

The outdoor sporting season is fourishing and
providing plenty OF entertainment in spite of the
blustery March weather. which has been decid
edly against a full enjoyment. With the promise
of few real spring days the outlook this week
IS particularly bright The spring meeting Of
the Westchester Racing Association will be con-
tnued at Belmont Park. and many rich and his
toric fixtures will be decided, the Giants will be
at horne at the Polo Grounds and the Superbas
will provide what sport they can for the fans
across the bridge; many important college base
ball games are scheduled: Yale and Harvard

meet on Saturday and the games take on an

for the victory of his men over Harvard on the

pleased with the showing Of his eight. composed

PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL.

The rain played havoc with the baseball
schedules last week, and comparatively few
games were played. The Giants won every
game they played. and are marching along like
coming champions. to the huge delight of their
followers. Up to Saturday night the team had
earned eleven straight victories and earned
them, too. with or two exceptions on the
merits OF the game On Saturday the Pirates
threatened to end the sequence but Matheuson
the mighty" came to the rescue and defeat
was averted. Chicago is pressing close but
the other teams. with the possible exception of
Philadelphia, appear to be soundIy beaten even
at this early stage of the pennant fight Chi
cago, however, is a worthy foe. and one that is
ikeiy 10 keep the Giants working hard till the
season draws to a close. Cincinnati and ST
Louis viii be at the Polo Grounds this week for
three games each, and four out of the six is the
least the fans are counting on The Superbas
actually Won a game Saturday when they
shut out the Chicago champions in the first
game OF a double header. They lost the second
game in The ninth inning, but il IS worthy OF
comment that the team which has won only two
games in nineteen played baseball that would
have done credit TO the league leaders For
seventeen innings. counting the TWO games the
champions tried in vain TO get q man over The
piate. IN view OF this, il is no wonder the
BIoohlyn tanS look on and wonder where the

doo' lies in their inability 10 hit the ball when
hits are needed.

VIII be an uphill fight now TO get within strIk-
ing distance OF the Chicago worlds champions
who are playing winning ball. One more game
must be played with Cleveland to-day and then
Detroit will try and force New York into the
second division. On Saturday night the High &.
landers were tied with Detroit for third place
with Philadelphia only a game away If bv
chance Chesbro should strengthen the pitching
stan, all viii be well. II IS a grave question
however. as this one time great pitcher has not
been himself for a year Still "Matty" came
back, then why not Chesbro?
