New York, June 13.-(Speeial.)- Great things are expected of McGraw's men on their western trip and New York fans will surely have heart dis ease should they take the same slump they did last year on the second trip. Last year they returned from three weeks invasion of the west badly crippled and only the large number of reserve players the club carried en- abled them to star in the first division.
 Boston sprung a big surprise on the Tigers in tn cir game on June when, with the score to against them, the Beaneaters came along in the seventh and eighth with six runs, enough to win the game. Eddie Killian seems to have been the offender, as it was his bases on balls that lost the game. It is rumored that Jennings has been try ing for some time to exchange Kill1an, and his poor showing in the Boston game may have decided Hughey to do it right away.
 The Chicago Cubs, Connie Mack, of the Philadelphia Americans, and Me Graw of the New York Nationals are making strenuous efforts to secure the services of Oh ester l.. Hourse, the crack Brown university pitcher, who has been doing such grand work for his team this year. Hourse says he will not sign a contract with any club until his career at the university Is ended.
 
 John Heydler, acting president of the National league, has announced the dates which have been set for the play ing off of postponed games. and 20 of these fall to eastern clubs. All the games postponed in Chicago and St. Louis have been played off. In the eastern cities double-headers will be necessary to get rid of the deferred contests, but in the western cities the nostponements will be erased on open dates. The dates allotted to Brook yln and New York ars as follows:
 At New York-with Brooklyn, July 2s: with Boston, June 23; with Pitts burg. July 12 and August "A; with St. Louis, July 1s.
 At Brooklyn-with New York. July & with Boston, July '; with Cfncin- natl. July 10 and 12 with Chicago, July IT.
 The Giants will play double-h eader with Philadelphia on August IT, and the Dodgers have two games on Au- gust IS and July 27 with Boston and Philadelphia, respectively.
 A baseball writer says:
 Paul Jones wrote the famous mes sage, We have met the enemy and they are ours'" Always thought Commo- dore rerry penciled the line on Lake Erie after walloping the British fleet with his green lumber wind tanners.
 These baseball historians should con- fine their efforts to baseball.
 Flow happy could l be with either, were t'other dear charmer away.
 That's the baseball fan. The Giants and the Trolley Dodgers being out of sight (although not out of mind), the Hiehla nders will get the patronage just as if there were no other New York club on the map. We love our Giants. hut then the Highlanders look pretty good just now, after thinking early in the game that our ball pluggers were left at the post.
