THE NATIONAL GAME.
HOOSIERS GROW WEARY.
They Are Discouraged Because of Their
Intensity to P.ay Good Ball—General
Gossip
A special from Indianapolis of September 22 says: The base-ball season closed here to-day with the defeat of the home nine by the Philadelphiaias. It is probably the last league game that will be played here. Various expedients have been resorted to by Indianapolis people to maintain the club and the outcome of the season's work has been so discouraging that the efforts which have been repeated. The local newspapers, for example, set aside one day in the year for baseball revenue, and every advertiser whose card appeared in their columns devoted his space to an appeal to the populace for a subscription on behalf of the ball nine. The result was that subscriptions of $25 and less amounts were taken by enough people to maintain the representation in the league. When the season opened the people were assured that the condition of the nine was satisfactory, and when the last game was played. The strength of the players has never questioned, but it is charged that they have been demoralized throughout the summer. Some of them have dissipated notoriously, the tours have been rounds of revelry, and the absence of discipline has been complete. Manager Spence was to have been asked to resign recently, it was said, but that the determination on the part of the directors was abandoned in view of the prosecution of the season in mind. The abandonment of the project to instill new life into the club is taken as an indication that nobody in the directory is prepared to say that he cares for another season of membership in the league.
As the league season draws to a close Manager Spence is experiencing increased trouble with his team. The men know he will not be over them next season, and all that they guard against now is a fine. Several of them, however, have been getting that of week. Boyle has not pitched for a week or more; he sent word that he was sick. Spence did not believe it and sent a physician to examine him, who reported that Boyle was no worse off than many men who go ahead about their daily work. On the strength of this the manager fined the pitcher for not reporting. Boyle was in a great huff about it, and he now seems to be really sick and unable to be out. He is no doubt, however, that he is the indifferent player to the profession. Healy the worst in trouble and was laid off for a few days. Shreve and Burdick are the stand-bys of the club in the pitching department. That seems strange, too, for in the season there was talk of releasing the former. Now he would not be exchanged for two pitchers of Boyle's ability and disposition. Burdick has the foundation of another Galvin. The club needs two more pitchers for next year and it will then be all right.
Tommy New York Esterbrook left town Wednesday evening and yesterday bobbed up in Louisville as first baseman for that club. He had fourteen put-outs, no errors, and sent in the only run made by either player on the field. The catchers here rejoice accordingly. No one, however, will regret his replacement by Schoenck.
Glasscock and Denny are now said to be running the Hoosier club. There is talk that neither of them will be in the team next year, and many consider them disturbers to such an extent that they will be an injury to any club. They can not, however, be transferred to another club without the consent of the league, and this is not likely to be obtained. The Indianapolis club is therefore put in the attitude of having players whom it can neither control nor dispease of. Manager Sullivan, of the Washington, said while here that he would not want either Denny or Glasscock, as he considered them disturbers. Phillips, of Pittsburgh, intimated the same thing recently.
THE WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP.
Von der Abe's Ideas as to How the Series Should Be Arranged.
The New York and St. Louis clubs can now go ahead and make their arrangement for the world's championship series, as both will surely win the championship of their respective organizations, and Von der Ahe can now send out the balance of those invitations he had started while the Browns were yet on their last Eastern trip. At that time he visited the headquarters of the New York club on three different occasions to settle on the details for the games, but Mr. Day put off making any arrangements for neither club was sure of coming out first. It is stated, however, that even then Mr. Day's idea was to have the series consist of nine games, four to be played in New York, four in St. Louis and one in Philadelphia, and to avoid all parading around the country. Von der Ahe's plans, however, differ from Mr. Day's, judging from the following interview recently telegraphed from St. Louis.
"I think a series of eleven championship games will be played on the following days and at the cities named: Open in Boston on Tuesday; October 10; play in New York on Wednesday; Brooklyn; Thursday; New York, Friday and Saturday; play an ex-
common game at Imagewood on Sunday with the Brooklyns, and continue our series in Philadelphia on Monday. We will then come to St. Louis and play here on October 25, 26 and 27. This will probably be the nine-game schedule. If we conclude to play eleven games the other games will probably be played in Cleveland and Cincinnati. The reason for starting the series in Boston is because the weather is much cooler toward the end of October than it is in the spring, so players on central team too, and neither side will have any special advantage. Mr. Day and myself will, in all probability, meet at some central point, say Pittsburgh, and perfect all arrangements for the series."
In connection with the world's series the
play will be from a Jersey City paper
will be of interest!
"John B. Day and Manager Powers are moving heaven and earth to bring the Jersey City out on top. That Day has a motive in doing so there is no doubt, but what it is is a mystery at present. It may be that he wants the Jerseys to win as so as to ring them in the series for the championship with the National League and Association winners—that is, providing the Giants win the pennant. There would be money in a threedigit game than double jig, but be easier for New Yorks that the Jersey City thus it would be for any American team. Or it may be that he has an eye on placing the Jerseys in the American Association when the Brooklyns jump into the National League. With the pick of the Jerseys and Eastons he could get a good team."
One drawback to the series will be the fact that neither Gaffney nor Kelly, whoumped last fall's games so well, will take a hall. A St. Louis exchange says this point:
"Gaffney stated yesterday that he is firmly resolved not to go into another world's series. He says also that John Kelly has
AMATEUR ATHLETES.
Second Annual Fall Games of the Chicago Association-A Programme which Furthers The St. Louis Matter Comes Up on the Grounds and Results in the Withdrawal of Two Clubs - Close Finishes in the Various Successful Competitors in the Various Events.
The Chicago Amateur Athletic Association held its second annual fall games at the grounds at Twelfth and Lincoln streets, September 22. The representation of foreign clubs was large. St. Louis failed to send a team owing to the controversy regarding the qualifications of an amateur and the fact that the recent games in that city were declared irregular. The following clubs were represented: Garden City Athletic Club, Pullman Athletic Club, Clarenton Athletic Club, Braceville (il.) Athletic Club, the New York Athletic Club, Fort Worth Athletic Club, Fort Dearborn Cycling Club, Pastine Athletic Club, Active Athletic Club and Chicago Athletic Club. Members of the Union Athletic Club, Wanderers' Cricket and Athletic Association, and the Manhattan Athletic Club had entered for the prizes and had representatives in uniforms on the grounds, but took no part in the events on account of the St. Louis trouble.
in fact, there was a long wrinkle on the grounds about the matter. A recent order from the Union forbade any of its clubs from taking part in the National games. Several of them took part in the National games at St. Louis, and at Detroit entered the events under protest. They had been accused of playing games in the Chicago club fall games. It had been decided that all prizes won by members of the tabooed clubs should be held under protest, to be decided at the next meeting of the committee of the Union. At the same time members of this committee indicated that there would be no doubt of the reinstatement of the clubs and the ultimate delivery of the prizes. On this unanticipated day, here to enter the games yesterday, and when they had assembled on the grounds they made a demand that the games be thrown open to them without protest. P. E. Stanley, president of the Chicago Amateur Athletic Association, and accordingly master of ceremonies, settled that point by declaring that those games should be ruled out. The commission made by him whereby those rebellious clubs could again enter National Association contests.
The games were forthwith called and the athletes made ready to enter. Mr. Mussy, the secretary of the Wanderers, objected, and in compliance with his wish the Union Athletic Club and the Wanderers retired. He was undoubtedly influenced by the manager of the Manhattan club, who had received a telegram white on the grounds of a local dance hall, to draw, and the Manhattans did so. These withdrawals reduced the entries about one-half. Nevertheless the meet was of interest, the results being as follows:
Seventy-five yards handicap, two beats-

GUY OUTTROTS MAUD S.
The fourth and final day's races under the auspices of the Driving Club of New York were held Saturday afternoon September 22, at Fleetwood Driving Park. The weather was propitions and the track was in fine condition. The race started with the black gelding Guy to trot against time to beat 2:13:34, made by Maud S., the fastest record ever made at Fleetwood Park. Guy was driven by Millard Sanders, who sent him around the track at an easy gait, making the mile in 2:37:12. The next time Guy appeared he was accompanied by a running-mate driven by John Spian. A good trainer was brought the trotted like the wind. Over 100 stop-watches were held over him and from start to finish the excitement was intense.
On the Fleetwood Track the Gallant
Golding Makes the Mile in 2:12 3-4.
The statement that Umpire John Kelly is partial to the New Yorks seems to have some foundation, according to the Detroit Free Press. It claims that every time one of the home team "opened his mouth" Kelly threatened him with the "limit," while he only laughed when the New Yorks complained. Anson has always contended that he got the worst of the decision with Kelly as ampire.
In the 5-4 game at Detroit recently, Bennett, White, Rowe and Hanlon are alleged to have "suffered from a combined attack of rattles, razzle-dazzle, hooohism, and Jonahism." The errors of the four gave the New Yorks the victory.
Splan lashed up his nag, and Guy, going like a deer, passed the quarter-mile pole in 31⁄4 seconds. Old horsemen while pleased were skepical. Without a break the gallant horse shot forward and passed the half-mile post in 1:04. There were chances of winning, but the knowing ones predicted it would be the stumbling-block, and they shook their heads. Guy nevered faltered. Sanders did not use his whip, but had a firm hold on the ribbons when the three quarters pole was passed in 1:39⁄4. At this time the excitement was roused to fever heat. Men jumped to their feet, waved their hats, and shouted themselves hoarse. The ladies waved their handkerchiefs and clapped their hands. Down the homestretch came Guy, and with a magnificent burst of speech he pricked. The judge one-handed had broken the record. He had made his mile in 2:12⁄4 and when the judges announced the result the applause was terrific.
Language: This faculty is exhibited in many parts of the face, particularly by a large mouth and large, full eyes, opened wide.
