No game today.

No game today.
Manager McAleer announced this
morning that the washington club had
bought Cunningham, second baseman
on the New Bedford team in the New
England League, for delivery at the end
Of the New England season in Septem-
her
Cunningham has been a subject of
lively interest and bidding among major
league scouts all this season. He played
rs games for New Bedford last season,
made III hits for a total Of 167 bases and
a batting average of POI. lie had 10
doubles. 8 triple, home runs, q sacri-
flee hits and stole % bases in 1893. He
was fourth among the second basemen
who played 100 games, having an aver
age OF $40.
We ask in all seriousness. are the
true reformers going 10 stand for Sec
rotary Nagel deliberately am bloOdIy
encouraging polygamy among che seals
Of the PribEof Islands? And, also, &c
member, e is quite customary for one
rooster 70 n-ve seven or eight wives.
without a word Of protest from the dis
trict attorney. Think OF what horrible
example that is to set before tho young
canary birds Of this country.
a
II may be asserted that aforegoing re
marks have nothing whatever to do
with the subject Of baseball. We plead
guilty, but plead in eXtenuatiOU that We
would like to forget the Washington
ball team for awhile and think OF most
anything else. Losing that same to
New York ye@terday, making it four
out OF FIVE dropped Tor the series. and
nine out OF the last ten played, thai
have gone into the discard, produces n
feeling Of great WEAKNESS mingled with
vexation that is hard on the nerves in
this hot weather.
Probably It is just as well there is no
game today. 1t could not be looked for
ward to with any vast deal Of con-
hdence.
If il were not that il was such hot
dav we would like to have been around
10 hear what Manager Stallings said TO
his Young men after the game yesterday
about their baserunning- He must have
s1lrcharged the air with torrid expires
sion for seventeen blocks. Whatever ne
said, Il was all right and was coming 10
the hearers. Three men caught OF bases
and two thrown out ar third trying 10

thing Of a record for q team with cham
