It Is now quite evident that Fall River will not have a walk-over in the race but will have a hard fight with at least four other teams, as Haverhill and Worcester are close behind the leaders, while Lewiston, Pawtucket and Portland are coming up fast. Brockton and Bangor appear too weak for their company and need strengthening. The record is up to May 27, inclusive:___ _ Urocfclou ............ Batipor ............... Fall BlTer...........

Captain Lcvis Making His Return Felt in the Harrisbnrg Series. Easton, Pa., May 26. Editor "Sporting Life:" Cuptiiln Lcvls was al)lp to sit on the lietioh and direct tlic toara wh«n they returned from their disastrous trip last Friday, and the effects wore sceu hy the ease with which they mowed down the Sen- ators from Hiirrlsburg; and yesterday tbey repeated the trick. Three out of four front the would-be pennant-winners Is certainly good work. It Is conceded tliat the recent poor work of the team was due to the al)- souee of Captain Levis, as the minute he appeared on the bencli it seemed to put new life into the boys; and if the present playing Is kept up, will soon briny the crat:ks back to their old allegiance. All the players returned from their trip In good condition, and the only regret was that rain knocked them out of four games at Pottsville and Heading. So far, Easton lias played all tbe strong teams, but has not played any of the weaker clubs, save Scranton. Grlffen. at short stop. Is playing a beauti- ful game, and brings tbe spectators to their feet In every game by his great work. Is easily tbe best suortstop seen here this season. Welkort. at second, and Dunn, at third, are bolh improving greatly In their play- ing, and are also lining the ball out for fair. They were a little off at first, but arc now putting up the ball of which they ara capable. In fact, tbe whole team seems to have had an injection of ginger, as is shown by their improved work. Mark Moran, our new outh'elder, la a good uian. He is a, fast outlielder and good liaserunner. and patched up the team where they have, been weak all season. Holmes, oar hard-hitting right fielder, has been trying to secure his release, but so far has not succeeded. He Is dissatisfied, and would like to get away, but It Is dol- lars to doughnuts that tbe hardest hitter on the team will not be let go. On Decoration Day we will hare two more cracks at Peanut-town, and promise to do our best to get even for the defeats at Ihe beginning of the season. To our genial manager, "Billy" Parks, must be given the credit of untieing the tangle Into which the bosses of tbe State League hart tumbled. He does not say much, but when he starts he generally gets there with both feet. The three twirlers of the club are doing yeoman's work, and with anything like our share of good luck we will soon be out of tbe second division. Smlnk, of Harrisburg. is on* of the dir- tiest ball players In tbe business, and If he does not look out he will get It where Gertie wears her beads. _ «,«, F ORIva. PITTSBURG PENCILLIN GS.

SPALDINQ'S BASE BALL UNIFORMS. Best make, best shape, best mate- rial, at prices to suit from $3.50 up. New York. Chicago. rittsburg, May 28. Editor "Sporting Life:" No trip to be made by the Pitts- burg Club this season will be us mem- orable as the one jt'st ended. The club arrived home yesterday from ClttTolaud, where n remarkable series was played. People who witnessed the disgraceful wind up of the contest Saturday will nover forget the series. Imagine 30UU people howliiig, yelling, jost- ling on tl.e Held wliile a dozen Pittsburg players were dodging to escape the cush- ions, etc., which males of all sizes and ages were throwing about. Faulty police ser- vice anil a trick by Teheau caused this affair. President Roblsin was a thoroughly dis- gusted man as he stood at one. coruer of tbe grand stand and watched the mob surging up and down the iield, first pelt- ing one person and thin another. Bob Ems- lie stood under the shadow of the grand stand and waited for tlfteen minutes. Te- bean and iten had slunk away, so Kinslif decided the game in favor of. Pittsburg a to 0. The affair might be said to be the climax of a scries where roughness and dcspiiratlon was a factor. Hundreds of Plttshurgers were there anil disgust was pictured on every countenance. Three Cleveland rooters assaulted Glasseock as be was leaving the park aud this act so disgusted a Cleveland man that he de- clared himself in with the Pittsburg boys in getting a whack at the assailants. There is* only one consolation for the Pittsburg Club in the fact that they do uot play agalu In Cleveland this season. TUB EXCURSION TANNED OUT Nearly 800 Pittsburgers excurted to the Lake City to see those games. A $3 rate cu ught them. Some went Thursday, took in the game, returned home and Saturday morning again found them there, What a noise they made. Cleveland was full of commercial men, who had bauds, etc., hut their din was uot a marker to the peace disturbance put up by tin horns, cow- bells, rattles, lungs and bad whisky handled by the Pittsburg colony. Friend Bates In writing of tlie make-up of the crowd said: "There were some nice-looking aud also some rather disreputable people iu the party." He made a good guoss. Th« first game was just what the Gas City people wanted. That night the Unit- ed Commercial Travelers had a rival show hut were ouUhone. Cleveland's streets are bad enough for practical purposes, but in these days they were pincbed for room. CALL THEM SCRAPS. However, let me get dowu to the games. Perhaps they might he called scraps. Tbey were goes from the yell. Cleveland was iu the first game and should have won it. They led off with four runs and knocked Killen out. Phret weut In aud pitched a gr<at game and when (Jy Young lost his nerve Pittsburg hit out the game aud won by 0 to 5. ID the second game, Killen went in again and pitched cleverly. Not a hard hit was made off him until the eighth, 'eight *ol- lowed thereafter, which, with an error by Kauer, gave five runs. The Pirates, how- ever, couldn't get the ball safe on Clack,-. son, wiio got away with one of ^ins g'ood games .'-gainst Pittsburg, a eluJo" that us- ually bits him hard. A few 2norc hits In the opening itiuiugs woulu\^nave wou for Pittsl'-urg. x^ ^Atmday's contest w^rs a flro-eater. The 'roas's John Foster ftfive Pittsburg for al- leged dirtyJia.lL-jjn'ny was one attraction at leapt. Well, tin; peuiile received their till of this kind of business. O'Connor and oilier Spiders, who admit they are ouiy nt'rald of three men In IN' Pittshurg team, dldu't do a thing with their heels when the right men were to be intimidated. SOMETHING ABOl.'T DIHTY BALL. Now, let me say something about dirty ball playing: Tlie Cleveland reporter who accused Mack of Working WcAleer off the plate In Fri-. day's game should just reasou a little where that ball weot to. The throw came from Bauer aud was low and about live feet inside tlie plate, and toward I bird. Mack of course had to go after It and Mc- Aleer. although uot tioar the plate, Jumped feet lirst Into the tall catcher as he went down for the hall. One shoe struck Con- nle just above the knee and two spikes left their cuts lu the leg. The right arm was also badly torn. McAIcei was profuse In his apologies, but Connie met them with a smile and remark: "That's all right, never mlnJ apologizing." Mack will uot s;ty so, hut it is believed he thinks that McAlcer gave It to him purposely, being ordered to get into the game by Tebeau. Lyons bears a back tye, received because Burkett knocked Denny's cwti hand hack in his face. O'Counor seldom ran to first without failing to jump on the inside of the base. Charles McOarr and Tebeau jostled, and held nu>n. Itememher, I don't say that a few Pittsbtirg men didn't do a little of that blocking bustiies*. They played fair until Cleveland men started the use of ugly tactics. At that there are hut three, or four men In the Pittshurg Club who will retaliate and the Pittsburg players say that even Ewing Joined iu the rush for Cleveland. ONB-SaDED AT CHICAGO. Chicago papers roasted the Pirates for dirty hall, despite the fact that the Colts led hy Anson played even worse in that line. The ninth Inning of the first game broke 'up In a disgraceful play. The Colts were hitting hard and breaking down Pitts- burg's lead. With two out Wilmot's single sent in a run, and It only wanted one to tie. Hyan was caught between second and third ou the throw-In. In going past Lyons of couise they say Jim had his trou- bles. Anson and other Chicago players rushed into the diamond and Uncle tried! to kuoek the ball out of Glasscock's hands. "Pebble" was too foxy. Kyan got past third and was going home when Iteckley received the hall from Glasseock. Jim gave Jake a drive In the ribs but Hannibal got back with interest and put the hall on him. The Windy City papers overlooked all these incidents except Lyons' alleged blocking and the funny men fairly reveled in comparisons aud similies. Chi- cago never was held up as clean alongside the Pirates. In jt slice to the Chicago newspaper men it must be said that in the second game they acknowledged that WI1- mot cut third by two feet, and F.mslie uf- lowed the run to go. This really won the second gnmo for Chicago. HOW NIOHOL GOT BACK. President Hart, of Chicago was In the reporter's box when Nichol was sent In to save the Pittsburg Club on last Wednes- day. "He is no good. We tried him once." remarked the president. As Nichol gave many bases on balls In the first four In- nings and displayed bad signs. Hart's re- marks looked all right. However the lit- tle left bander got his curve ball work- ing well and soon made a show of the Colts. AVilmot looked astonished when flic boy fanned him. Tlie Colts could do noth- ing with the hid, aud Pittsburg won out. When told of Hart's assertion Nichol said "Hart may be right, but 1 wish the Chi- cago Club would pay me the ifl(X) that It has owed me for a couple of years." Some Plttsburg omcials advise Nichol to take the mnttcr before the League. GKT YOUR ARM SCfiAI'ED. F.very player visiting Chicago should get vai<:ii:atBd, for just now the Windy City is fairly alive with smallpox. A Chicago re- porter told me that the town was practi- cally quarantined and that the authorities were suppressing matters in order to pre; vcnt panic. Rifht j'.bout tho ball park there were scores of cases. Secretary Ral- Uet had a scrre on Wednesday. Just before tho gates v> tre opened a man with a very red-blotched face wan noticed outside of the gate. A cop with an eagle eye saw him, ran over to the County Hospital, no- tilled a doctor who took one glance, and threw minutes later the nmbulnnee hnd n passenger to the hospital. Dahlen was glad hi* vacclpation took. SP1KKS. T had the pleasure of a chat with Frank Bfu.Kll the othor day. He declared that he had not seen but three Innings of a game of base ball since Players' League year. I" 1801 he went out to see his friend, "Pys:s" Pfoffer piny. Brunell Is dald/liug lu the rtinuers, and, if Henry of Xf.vKiTe had won the Brooklyn Handi- cap, the ex-secretary would have quit work for a long time. C. H. Stelger, of the "Chicago Herald," showed the writer many court-jsies In the Windy City. It'a a treat to go through the "Herald" building. Nothing like It iu the West. Tom Cokely was token along on the trip and when Wilmot's liner knocked out Guinhert the Charleston boy was sent In. HB did pretty well for an luulug or two, J. 6.

Decker drove a beauty to left centre for three bases, and whenever Cokely talks nlwut the gunn he smiles and remarks: "How would yi>u like to have taken a ride on that one?" Two Eastern League managers were in Cleveland trying to got players from Pitts- burgh. Manager Billy Murray, of Prcvi- dcncu, wanted a pitcher ami Charley Mor- tou was willing to take Si'lieibeek off the club's hntuls. They returned empty handed. Both spoke hopefully of their teams. Devvald was reported as being hit rather hard In recent games, but would soon come around. Manager Murray speaks well of Quarles, the big pitj'aer whom Boston had last year. Olasscock went to Wheeling Sunday to see his new daughter. There are a couple of men In the Pitts- burg Club who want to kill Griffith's slow ball aud when they didn't do it Tuesday Uncle reinstated Clausen aud gave him a chance. But the southpaw couldn't tied tho plate. My, but Wlllle Bill Hutchison had speed when he relieved Midget Donnelly last Wednesday. The ball fairly shot in. In direct contrast was Donuelly's lob pitch- ing. Tho latter certainly has less speed than any man pitching professional ball in ths country. You ought to see the dew drops sail up to the plate! Pittsburg took away a nice sum of money from Cleveland, beln# paid for K200 the first day. 3SOO the next and 5WX) tho third. But still the club didn't re- ceive as much as Cleveland in the Gas City recently. Kd.

Elmer Smith's monkey was christened "1'hlllip" on last Saturday. The animal was given to Elmer by a well-known I'll t.'burger, who has often given the play- ers many presents. The beast cost $20. The Colonels onoe m ire brought bad weather when they came to-day to play off postponed games. Jimmy Ityan decided a bet the other day.

We have now completed tho circuit of the Eastern league teams and are free to say that Tom Burns is the only captain who, for himself and Ids team, advocates, teaches and practices dirty ball. This fact was evidenced in the game of May 18. which -has been protested. There are any number of spectators of that game who are willing and anxious to certify to Ihe fact that dirty and ungmtlemanyl ball was practiced in that game. Burns, no doubt, yefc clings to the mctthnd* taught him by that arch-tutor of dirty hall, Anson, of the Chlcniros. Milt West has gone. Many regret that he tins. There Is no doubt but that Bill Brown, can field the position lietter. Whether he Is a better bat- ter Is a question. Milt Is nn earnest worker and a xood man. We wiah him success. DOOBEURY. WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. Lost Opportunities For a Certain Club to Secure a AVinning Team. The base/ ball editor of the Washington "Post," in a conversation with President Young the other day, drew from Young the admission that some of the League clubs last winter had a ch-auce to secure the winning Cleveland team for a cash consideration. Says th» writer: "\Ve were discussing the somewhat erratic per- formances of the New York ttam1 and speculating upou the prospects from a fnaticlal standpoint, of New York, with a winning club, cabable of standing at the top or near ihe top of the lirst lib Iplon. It was OH this Hue of thought that Mr. Younp recalled the fact that the Ne\T Yorkd had an opportunity to purchase tue Cleveland Club and its present bund of wlnt ing pliyjrs, for J-!0,000. In fact, any of the league clutw Mali a similar opportunity. It might bavc paid ii, e Wngnirs to have iureati-d th;U amount in such \aliiable base ball material. .At that time M . Rohlson was ati-ilous to retire from the league and be was willing to sell out for the sum named. At tlie same time Detroit stood ready to take up the Cleveland franchise ami such plovers ns the League mlgbt decide to send with It Detroit had several desirable men flue to Its membership hi the Western I-eague, and at that time It was "hungry" to get back Into the National I/eague. Had Nuw York or Washington, or even Chicago, purchased the Cleveland outfit, it would not have taken long to pay off that sum, judging from tlie attendance during the past month. New York could have i«id off $40,000 in a few weeks. Chicago might have taken a little longer, and Washington, with a> team that has stood up among the leaders during the past three years, like Cleveland, become as base ball "crazy" as Baltimore. Under the present conditions, with the larger end of the horn of plenty turned towards the League, it Is doubtful if Cleveland will care to retire from the League at the close Wamsutta AT V ., CTS.

ROCHESTER RIPPLES. Favored With a Visit by the Cleve- land and Troy Teams. Rochester, N. V., May 20. Editor "Sportliw Life:" The base hall lovers of Rochester had ati opportunity on Sunday lost to witness a game at Ontario Beach. The contesting c4ubl were tlie Clovelands, of the National league, nnd the Troys, of the Eastern I-eague, and th« gaum resulted lu favor of the big Leaguers by a score of 8 to 2. Over 2000 persons witnessed the gffme, and the crowd would have been much, larger hud the weather not been cloudy aud raiuy, but those who went were well repaid. Hearty was the reception given to Zlrnmer, McKeon, Kwing and the different membera o( the Troy Club, who at one time had b«eu rueai- bers of a Rochester Club. Cleveland. In the estimation of persons who saw the work of young Fisher, have got a jewel lu him. He has got good command of the ball and has a good variety of curves, accompanied witli plenty of speed, and with Chief Zlinmer to steady him should be a winner. JakUc Virtue plays tho same steady, reliable game that he did when a member of the De- troit Club. "Stump" Weldmao umpired the gam» nnd gave satisfaction. The "Spldere" had considerable fun with ritcher Gruher, of the Troys, and Zlnimer mail* it complete by a dome run. drive over tha left Held fence. It Is announced that tbe Syracuse and Troy», members of the Eastern Ijeague, are billed to play a po«t|»m<'d championship game at On- tario Beach licit Sunday. Billy Oillihnn, J.'iy Faatz and Billy Hoover, old Koohentur players, art- members of the star team. The Rochester professionals, composed of tn« Weidman brothers, Paul Ocx>k, Oeegan, Johnny Morse, Burke and several other ex-profcsslonals, are to play tbe Hudsoua at the Beach on Mem- orial Day. Tbo Athletics are getting Into shape, and will soon be ready to meet all coiners. Games are to be played at South Park every Saturday. Charlev Leiuigrul>or Is deserving of considera- ble, credit for having the enterprise ami nerve to engage the different League clulis to appear here and be should be liberally supported. It Is more than likely that there will gond games at the Beach every Sunday. League mim- ajtors will <lo well to confer witli Charley for a date at this liutt summer resort. M. T. S. IN IT ONCE MORE. ^ Burlington's Independent Ball Club Makes a Good Start. Bnrlin.Kton, 'a., Msy 2i(.-Edltor "Sport- ing Lite:" The base ball, season opened here Saturday with the Keokiik Olub, be- fore a «ood-sl«xl mitlicnce. It w>i» a. pretty game up to the eighth inning, when Burlington* run In four tallies and wer« never headed. Score: Ilurllneton, 9; Keokuk, 3. Yesterday, despite Hie cold northeast wind, an audience of at least 600 oi-ain sa.v Keokuk go down to defeat. Si-ore: Burlington, 11; Keokuk, 1. To-day they play the third game, for a purse of $50. Our tioys put up a good, strong game that will make, any club move at a two-ten gait to get a ball from them. Our pltchera, Hem and Held, are dandies, and both fair butters. Tlie catchers, Leo Mosmer mil Baumle, hiive seen several seasons' servica on the diamond, and will hold their end up with any others. The balance of tlie club Is all ' Manager Hirsch Is now trying to arrange for the Omamis to play here this coming week, if possible. Frank Fear, the Omaha's catcher, Is a native of this city, and will be welcomed ty a good-sim! crowd. Any outside club wanting dates, please nego- tiate with Manager Max Hirsch. J. H, Has a Wide Application. The comment of the "Hangor Commercial" here given could be read with profit by maoy n big Imguer, and should he followed hy every player: The Bangor players ar« paid a salary for, amonc other things, starting to tirst at their utmost speed when they hit the ball. Some of them seem to have the Idea tluit they must stop to see what becomes of the Iiall, but tills Is quite unnecessary. There Is an umpire, who aluo draws a salary, to attend to Oils for them. A word to the wise ought to be suflicicut."

The Record.It Is now quite evident that Fall River

will not have a walk-over in the race but will have a hard fight with at least four other teams, as Haverhill and Worcester are close behind the leaders, while Lewiston, Pawtucket and Portland are coming up fast. Brockton and Bangor appear too weak for their company and need strengthening.The record is up to May 27, inclusive:____

EASTON AGAIN ELATED.

Captain Lcvis Making His Return Felt in the Harrisbnrg Series.

Easton, Pa., May 26. Editor "Sporting Life:" Cuptiiln Lcvls was al)lp to sit on the lietioh and direct tlic toara wh«n they returned from their disastrous trip last Friday, and the effects wore sceu hy the ease with which they mowed down the Sen­ ators from Hiirrlsburg; and yesterday tbey repeated the trick. Three out of four front the would-be pennant-winners Is certainly good work. It Is conceded tliat the recent poor work of the team was due to the al)- souee of Captain Levis, as the minute he appeared on the bencli it seemed to put new life into the boys; and if the present playing Is kept up, will soon briny the crat:ks back to their old allegiance.

All the players returned from their trip In good condition, and the only regret was that rain knocked them out of four games at Pottsville and Heading. So far, Easton lias played all tbe strong teams, but has not played any of the weaker clubs, save Scranton.

Grlffen. at short stop. Is playing a beauti­ ful game, and brings tbe spectators to their feet In every game by his great work. H« Is easily tbe best suortstop seen here this season.

Welkort. at second, and Dunn, at third, are bolh improving greatly In their play­ ing, and are also lining the ball out for fair. They were a little off at first, but arc now putting up the ball of which they ara capable. In fact, tbe whole team seems to have had an injection of ginger, as is shown by their improved work.

Mark Moran, our new outh'elder, la a good uian. He is a, fast outlielder and good liaserunner. and patched up the team where they have, been weak all season.

Holmes, oar hard-hitting right fielder, has been trying to secure his release, but so far has not succeeded. He Is dissatisfied, and would like to get away, but It Is dol­ lars to doughnuts that tbe hardest hitter on the team will not be let go.

On Decoration Day we will hare two more cracks at Peanut-town, and promise to do our best to get even for the defeats at Ihe beginning of the season.

To our genial manager, "Billy" Parks, must be given the credit of untieing the tangle Into which the bosses of tbe State League hart tumbled. He does not say much, but when he starts he generally gets there with both feet.

The three twirlers of the club are doing yeoman's work, and with anything like our share of good luck we will soon be out of tbe second division.

Smlnk, of Harrisburg. is on* of the dir­ tiest ball players In tbe business, and If he does not look out he will get It where Gertie wears her beads. _ «,«,

New York. Chicago.

rittsburg, May 28. Editor "Sporting Life:" No trip to be made by the Pitts­ burg Club this season will be us mem­ orable as the one jt'st ended. The club arrived home yesterday from ClttTolaud, where n remarkable series was played. People who witnessed the disgraceful wind up of the contest Saturday will nover forget the series. Imagine 30UU people howliiig, yelling, jost­ ling on tl.e Held wliile a dozen Pittsburg players were dodging to escape the cush­ ions, etc., which males of all sizes and ages were throwing about. Faulty police ser­ vice anil a trick by Teheau caused this affair.

President Roblsin was a thoroughly dis­ gusted man as he stood at one. coruer of tbe grand stand and watched the mob surging up and down the iield, first pelt­ ing one person and thin another. Bob Ems- lie stood under the shadow of the grand stand and waited for tlfteen minutes. Te- bean and iten had slunk away, so Kinslif decided the game in favor of. Pittsburg a to 0. The affair might be said to be the climax of a scries where roughness and dcspiiratlon was a factor.

Hundreds of Plttshurgers were there anil disgust was pictured on every countenance. Three Cleveland rooters assaulted Glasseock as be was leaving the park aud this act so disgusted a Cleveland man that he de­ clared himself in with the Pittsburg boys in getting a whack at the assailants.

There is* only one consolation for the Pittsburg Club in the fact that they do uot play agalu In Cleveland this season.

TUB EXCURSION TANNED OUTNearly 800 Pittsburgers excurted to the

Lake City to see those games. A $3 rate cu ught them. Some went Thursday, took in the game, returned home and Saturday morning again found them there, What a noise they made. Cleveland was full of commercial men, who had bauds, etc., hut their din was uot a marker to the peace disturbance put up by tin horns, cow­ bells, rattles, lungs and bad whisky handled by the Pittsburg colony. Friend Bates In writing of tlie make-up of the crowd said: "There were some nice-looking aud also some rather disreputable people iu the party." He made a good guoss.

Th« first game was just what the Gas City people wanted. That night the Unit­ ed Commercial Travelers had a rival show hut were ouUhone. Cleveland's streets are bad enough for practical purposes, but in these days they were pincbed for room.

CALL THEM SCRAPS.However, let me get dowu to the games.

Perhaps they might he called scraps. Tbey were goes from the yell.

Cleveland was iu the first game and should have won it. They led off with four runs and knocked Killen out. Phret weut In aud pitched a gr<at game and when (Jy Young lost his nerve Pittsburg hit out the game aud won by 0 to 5.

ID the second game, Killen went in again and pitched cleverly. Not a hard hit was made off him until the eighth, 'eight *ol- lowed thereafter, which, with an error by Kauer, gave five runs. The Pirates, how­ ever, couldn't get the ball safe on Clack,-. son, wiio got away with one of ^ins g'ood games .'-gainst Pittsburg, a eluJo" that us­ ually bits him hard. A few 2norc hits In the opening itiuiugs woulu\^nave wou for Pittsl'-urg. x^ ^Atmday's contest w^rs a flro-eater. The 'roas's John Foster ftfive Pittsburg for al­ leged dirtyJia.lL-jjn'ny was one attraction at leapt. Well, tin; peuiile received their till of this kind of business. O'Connor and oilier Spiders, who admit they are ouiy nt'rald of three men In IN' Pittshurg team, dldu't do a thing with their heels when the right men were to be intimidated.

SOMETHING ABOl.'T DIHTY BALL.Now, let me say something about dirty

ball playing:Tlie Cleveland reporter who accused Mack

of Working WcAleer off the plate In Fri-. day's game should just reasou a little where that ball weot to. The throw came from Bauer aud was low and about live feet inside tlie plate, and toward I bird. Mack of course had to go after It and Mc- Aleer. although uot tioar the plate, Jumped feet lirst Into the tall catcher as he went down for the hall. One shoe struck Con- nle just above the knee and two spikes left their cuts lu the leg. The right arm was also badly torn. McAIcei was profuse In his apologies, but Connie met them with a smile and remark: "That's all right, never mlnJ apologizing." Mack will uot s;ty so, hut it is believed he thinks that McAlcer gave It to him purposely, being ordered to get into the game by Tebeau. Lyons bears a back tye, received because Burkett knocked Denny's cwti hand hack in his face. O'Counor seldom ran to first without failing to jump on the inside of the base. Charles McOarr and Tebeau jostled, and held nu>n. Itememher, I don't say that a few Pittsbtirg men didn't do a little of that blocking bustiies*. They played fair until Cleveland men started the use of ugly tactics. At that there are hut three, or four men In the Pittshurg Club who will retaliate and the Pittsburg players say that even Ewing Joined iu the rush for Cleveland.

ONB-SaDED AT CHICAGO.Chicago papers roasted the Pirates for

dirty hall, despite the fact that the Colts led hy Anson played even worse in that line. The ninth Inning of the first game broke 'up In a disgraceful play. The Colts were hitting hard and breaking down Pitts- burg's lead. With two out Wilmot's single sent in a run, and It only wanted one to tie. Hyan was caught between second and third ou the throw-In. In going past Lyons of couise they say Jim had his trou­ bles. Anson and other Chicago players rushed into the diamond and Uncle tried! to kuoek the ball out of Glasscock's hands. "Pebble" was too foxy. Kyan got past third and was going home when Iteckley received the hall from Glasseock. Jim gave Jake a drive In the ribs but Hannibal got back with interest and put the hall on him. The Windy City papers overlooked all these incidents except Lyons' alleged blocking and the funny men fairly reveled in comparisons aud similies. Chi­ cago never was held up as clean alongside the Pirates. In jt slice to the Chicago newspaper men it must be said that in the second game they acknowledged that WI1- mot cut third by two feet, and F.mslie uf- lowed the run to go. This really won the second gnmo for Chicago.

HOW NIOHOL GOT BACK.President Hart, of Chicago was In the

reporter's box when Nichol was sent In to save the Pittsburg Club on last Wednes­ day. "He is no good. We tried him once." remarked the president. As Nichol gave many bases on balls In the first four In­ nings and displayed bad signs. Hart's re­ marks looked all right. However the lit­ tle left bander got his curve ball work­ ing well and soon made a show of the Colts. AVilmot looked astonished when flic boy fanned him. Tlie Colts could do noth­ ing with the hid, aud Pittsburg won out. When told of Hart's assertion Nichol said "Hart may be right, but 1 wish the Chi­ cago Club would pay me the ifl(X) that It has owed me for a couple of years."

Some Plttsburg omcials advise Nichol to take the mnttcr before the League.

GKT YOUR ARM SCfiAI'ED. F.very player visiting Chicago should get

vai<:ii:atBd, for just now the Windy City is fairly alive with smallpox. A Chicago re­ porter told me that the town was practi­ cally quarantined and that the authorities were suppressing matters in order to pre; vcnt panic. Rifht j'.bout tho ball park there were scores of cases. Secretary Ral- Uet had a scrre on Wednesday. Just before tho gates v> tre opened a man with a very red-blotched face wan noticed outside of the gate. A cop with an eagle eye saw him, ran over to the County Hospital, no- tilled a doctor who took one glance, and threw minutes later the nmbulnnee hnd n passenger to the hospital. Dahlen was glad hi* vacclpation took.

SP1KKS.T had the pleasure of a chat with Frank

Bfu.Kll the othor day. He declared that he had not seen but three Innings of a game of base ball since Players' League year. I" 1801 he went out to see hisfriend, "Pys:s" Pfoffer piny. Brunell Is dald/liug lu the rtinuers, and, if Henry of Xf.vKiTe had won the Brooklyn Handi­ cap, the ex-secretary would have quitwork for a long time.

C. H. Stelger, of the "Chicago Herald,"showed the writer many court-jsies In theWindy City. It'a a treat to go through the"Herald" building. Nothing like It iu the West.

Tom Cokely was token along on the trip and when Wilmot's liner knocked outGuinhert the Charleston boy was sent In.HB did pretty well for an luulug or two,

then the Colts got onto Ms speed and several good oues and several very much Texas lilts wuro cut loose.

Decker drove a beauty to left centre for three bases, and whenever Cokely talks nlwut the gunn he smiles and remarks: "How would yi>u like to have taken a ride on that one?"

Two Eastern League managers were in Cleveland trying to got players from Pitts­ burgh. Manager Billy Murray, of Prcvi- dcncu, wanted a pitcher ami Charley Mor- tou was willing to take Si'lieibeek off the club's hntuls. They returned empty handed. Both spoke hopefully of their teams. Devvald was reported as being hit rather hard In recent games, but would soon come around. Manager Murray speaks well of Quarles, the big pitj'aer whom Boston had last year.

Olasscock went to Wheeling Sunday to see his new daughter.

There are a couple of men In the Pitts- burg Club who want to kill Griffith's slow ball aud when they didn't do it Tuesday Uncle reinstated Clausen aud gave him a chance. But the southpaw couldn't tied tho plate.

My, but Wlllle Bill Hutchison had speed when he relieved Midget Donnelly last Wednesday. The ball fairly shot in. In direct contrast was Donuelly's lob pitch­ ing. Tho latter certainly has less speed than any man pitching professional ball in ths country. You ought to see the dew drops sail up to the plate!

Pittsburg took away a nice sum of money from Cleveland, beln# paid for K200 the first day. 3SOO the next and 5WX) tho third. But still the club didn't re­ ceive as much as Cleveland in the Gas City recently.

Elmer Bates usually gets to a game eveiy other day. but the Cleveland-Pitts- burg series was too good for him to stay avcy. He gets out a clever baje ball ejtnt for the "Press."

Elmer Smith's monkey was christened "1'hlllip" on last Saturday. The animal was given to Elmer by a well-known I'll t.'burger, who has often given the play­ ers many presents. The beast cost $20.

The Colonels onoe m ire brought bad weather when they came to-day to play off postponed games.

Jimmy Ityan decided a bet the other day. A man had bet another that Rynn settled with tho inilrond company for Jlfi.OOO. "I only wish I 'Otild decide for the long end man," said Jim.

Mr. Holland um­ pired the twelve Inniuga game without a singU kick, or even a murmur, from either the players or nudlence. I enter a eliilm for the chamjiion umpiring, on behalf of Umpire Holland.

The club Is out about $1200 in clean cash by reason of the protrn-tefl rains.

We have at least »lx more who are sure to mako execllL'nt league material In catcher War­ ner, pitchers Kernan and Cumpneld, right flelilor J. Hess, centre fielder Betts and fielder and catcher Le/otto, all fine fielders aud heavy hitters.

We have now completed tho circuit of the Eastern league teams and are free to say that Tom Burns is the only captain who, for himself and Ids team, advocates, teaches and practices dirty ball. This fact was evidenced in the game of May 18. which -has been protested. There are any number of spectators of that game who are willing and anxious to certify to Ihe fact that dirty and ungmtlemanyl ball was practiced in that game. Burns, no doubt, yefc clings to the mctthnd* taught him by that arch-tutor of dirty hall, Anson, of the Chlcniros.

Milt West has gone. Many regret that he tins. There Is no doubt but that Bill Brown, can field the position lietter. Whether he Is a better bat­ ter Is a question. Milt Is nn earnest worker and a xood man. We wiah him success.

DOOBEURY.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

Lost Opportunities For a Certain Club to Secure a AVinning Team.

The base/ ball editor of the Washington "Post," in a conversation with President Young the other day, drew from Young the admission that some of the League clubs last winter had a ch-auce to secure the winning Cleveland team for a cash consideration. Says th» writer:

"\Ve were discussing the somewhat erratic per­ formances of the New York ttam1 and speculating upou the prospects from a fnaticlal standpoint, of New York, with a winning club, cabable of standing at the top or near ihe top of the lirst lib Iplon. It was OH this Hue of thought that Mr. Younp recalled the fact that the Ne\T Yorkd had an opportunity to purchase tue Cleveland Club and its present bund of wlnt ing pliyjrs, for J-!0,000. In fact, any of the league clutw Mali a similar opportunity. It might bavc paid ii, e Wngnirs to have iureati-d th;U amount in such \aliiable base ball material. .At that time M . Rohlson was ati-ilous to retire from the league and be was willing to sell out for the sum named. At tlie same time Detroit stood ready to take up the Cleveland franchise ami such plovers ns the League mlgbt decide to send with It Detroit had several desirable men flue to Its membership hi the Western I-eague, and at that time It was "hungry" to get back Into the National I/eague.

Had Nuw York or Washington, or even Chicago, purchased the Cleveland outfit, it would not have taken long to pay off that sum, judging from tlie attendance during the past month. New York could have i«id off $40,000 in a few weeks. Chicago might have taken a little longer, and Washington, with a> team that has stood up among the leaders during the past three years, like Cleveland, become as base ball "crazy" as Baltimore. Under the present conditions, with the larger end of the horn of plenty turned towards the League, it Is doubtful if Cleveland will care to retire from the League at the close

ROCHESTER RIPPLES.

Favored With a Visit by the Cleve­ land and Troy Teams.

Rochester, N. V., May 20. Editor "Sportliw Life:" The base hall lovers of Rochester had ati opportunity on Sunday lost to witness a game at Ontario Beach. The contesting c4ubl were tlie Clovelands, of the National league, nnd the Troys, of the Eastern I-eague, and th« gaum resulted lu favor of the big Leaguers by a score of 8 to 2. Over 2000 persons witnessed the gffme, and the crowd would have been much, larger hud the weather not been cloudy aud raiuy, but those who went were well repaid.

Hearty was the reception given to Zlrnmer, McKeon, Kwing and the different membera o( the Troy Club, who at one time had b«eu rueai- bers of a Rochester Club.

Cleveland. In the estimation of persons who saw the work of young Fisher, have got a jewel lu him. He has got good command of the ball and has a good variety of curves, accompanied witli plenty of speed, and with Chief Zlinmer to steady him should be a winner.

JakUc Virtue plays tho same steady, reliable game that he did when a member of the De­ troit Club.

"Stump" Weldmao umpired the gam» nnd gave satisfaction.

The "Spldere" had considerable fun with ritcher Gruher, of the Troys, and Zlnimer mail* it complete by a dome run. drive over tha left Held fence.

It Is announced that tbe Syracuse and Troy», members of the Eastern Ijeague, are billed to play a po«t|»m<'d championship game at On­ tario Beach licit Sunday. Billy Oillihnn, J.'iy Faatz and Billy Hoover, old Koohentur players, art- members of the star team.

The Rochester professionals, composed of tn« Weidman brothers, Paul Ocx>k, Oeegan, Johnny Morse, Burke and several other ex-profcsslonals, are to play tbe Hudsoua at the Beach on Mem­ orial Day.

Tbo Athletics are getting Into shape, and will soon be ready to meet all coiners. Games are to be played at South Park every Saturday.

Charlev Leiuigrul>or Is deserving of considera­ ble, credit for having the enterprise ami nerve to engage the different League clulis to appear here and be should be liberally supported. It Is more than likely that there will l» gond games at the Beach every Sunday. League mim- ajtors will <lo well to confer witli Charley for a date at this liutt summer resort.

here given could be read with profit by maoy n big Imguer, and should he followed hy every player: The Bangor players ar« paid a salary for, amonc other things, starting to tirst at their utmost speed when they hit the ball.
