———————————— WILL IT BE BUFFALO The Proposed Successor to Cleve- land in the League. THE UNFORTUNATE SENATORS The Orioles Always Wipe Up the Ground With Them. RAGGED BALL PLAYING Buffalo is anxious to become a me:nber Of the league in the event of the retirement of Cleveland. Wires are already being laid im that direction, and negotiations are pro- Sressing quietly but satisfactorily to Buf- falo. It is probable that this announcement will occasion great surprise in league cir- cles generally, and it may provoke a denial from some of those who are not well in- formed on the subject. The statement here made ts inspired by the highest kind of @uthority. Detroit would be generally con- sidered the most desirable successor of the Cleveland club tn the league, hence the efforts of Buffalo to capture the Cleveland franchise appears to be a surprise party all arcund. How far the negotiations have progressed cannot be stated at this time, but it may be stated without fear of successful contra- diction that Buffalo ts anxious, after many years’ languishing outside of the breast- Works of the National League, of which it was once a member, to return to the fold under any reasonable conditions. At the mere suggestion of Buffalo being a member of the league old timers at once recall the time when the “Big Four from Buffalo,” Dan Erouthers, 1 Elanion, Jim White and Jack Rowe, went to Detroft and helped that club to win the world’s championship, after St. Louls had captured first honors in the American Association. In spite of the frequent denials, the Cleve- land ciub will hardly be represented in the league next season. It ts not the intention of the leazue to allow Buffalo or any other ¢lub to walk in and buy up the entire Cleve- land contingent. The league will probably do as it has done on previous occasions, ey In and divide up the Cleveland club tal- @nt among such clubs as need strengthen- irg. Particular attention will be paid to the @ppeals of the western clubs when the dl- ) eee vf the Cleveland spoils commence icago wants one or more of the Cleveland layers. Cincinnat!, also, desires some as- tance in building up a stronger team than it now can beast of. Pittsburg needs the services of one or more of the Cleveland- ites to help them hold their own in the first division. At present only cne of the western clubs, ttsburg, is in the first diwision of the fue championship race. Since the broth- erhood war the western clubs have been unable fo get Lack to their top-notch form, and Chicago has never recovered from the @ffects of the ioss of Farreil and Duffy. “Grandga” Anson frequently refers to the absence of those two “lads” with a display ~f affection that a fond parent displays at fie loss of @ faverite son. Anson still con- lends that Farrell and Duffy are two of the §martest ball players in existence today, and he contends that they never should have been taken away from Chicago. transfer never received his sanction. It is understood that Washington, New York and Philadelphia also look with long- ing eyes upon certain of Mr. Robinson's pets, so that ff all of the league clubs have their pick of the Cleveland club there will be but little left for Buffalo to secure except Under the circumstances, it sume that the league will re- ent number of the players to Make it an inducement for the Buffalos to ¢ome into the league. Future developments {n this direction will be watched with in- terest throughout bas ball circles. There has been considerable discussion tn bese ball circles during the past week on the proposition to transfer the last series f league games from the west to the east. hile at league headquarters yesterday e Star reporter had some conve With President N. E. Young on the subject. e suggestion was originally made wrote to the president of one of ng western clubs, simply for an on of his persenal opinion as to the Jom and policy of considering the pro- “i changes, and in reply received the ng able and manly letter: rear Nick: I have delayed writing I wished to see if I could frame a gcod reason for transferring the western Reries to the east.

Those who are familiar with the p2rsonnel of the league magnates may see the outlines of John T. Brush, the president of the Cincinnati club, in the letter above quoted. This week has been one of disaster to the V hingtons. The Baitimores have treated their next-door neighbors—the Sen- ors—t manner that deprives the Orioles of the right hereafter to claim to be nents of “true Maryland hospitality.” ot satist i with defeating the Schmelz- jtes four straight games, several of the Baltimoreans are accused of “tampering’ With the Washingten’s mascot.

It is the unexpected which happens, es- Pecially so in base ball, and yesterday the league tailenders stepped directly from their train at Boston and defeated the champions with hardly an effort. Mercer pitched for the Senators, and to his great work more than to anything else was due the victory of the visitors. He allowed but four hits off of him and struck out four men. Nichols pitched for the Beaneaters, but the Washingtonians had little diff- culty in hitting bim, earning three of their eight runs. The features of the game were the batting and flelding of Abbey, and the work of Schiebeck at short. Score: RHO.

In both the fielding was very good, considering the heavy hitting. The result of each game can be attributed to the pitching.

In the second game Brooklyn, with Ken- nedy and Daily in the points, felt confi- dent of victory. Clark and Wilson were selected for the same positions by Manager Ward. Both teams hit the ball hard.

Yesterday's game at Louisville between the Chicagos and Loulsvilles was declared forfelted to Leuisville, 9 to 0, by Umpire Lynch, becavse Capt. Anson refused to play with the balls furnished by Manager Barnie, claiming that they were some of an Inferior lot left over from last year. The trouble arose over yesterday's kick by the Colonels, who claimed that Wilmot, left flelder of the Colts, had put a lively ball into the game. When the geme was called yesterday Anson walked out to the plate with a box of balls, which he handed to Umpire Lynch, accompanied with a message from Prest- dent Young, stating that they should be used In the game. Manager Barntie refused to play the game with the balls furnished by Anson, holding out for his rights as stipulated in the rules, which states that the home club shall furnish the balis. An- son positively refused to piay with the balls furnished by Manager Barnie, and Umpire Lynch gave the game to Louls- ville. Games To ye Baltimore at Philadelphia (two games). Washington at Boston.

OUT FOR THE DUsT, The Local Management Critictsed for Their Money-G The New York correspondent of the Spo ing Life, writing to that paper, this week, says: ‘The story that sundry grabbing members of the league contemplated a wholesal> transfer of western games to the east caus- ed quite a flutter in this city. The rumor came in with the hot wave Saturday noon, and you can gamble the temperature arose several degrees. I first heard it at the Eastern Park game and would have laughed at the absurdity of it had not my informant been a gentleman who has been prominently connected with the national game for years. He assured me that he had {t straight from @ league magnate who was pushing the scheme, and that there was something in {t. He had some of the figures pat, showing that Philadelphia had received less than $180 from three games in Cleveland, while Loutsville had fallen same $50 behind those figures in the Philadelphia series at the falls city. According to his story, every western city had agreed, except Chicago, which had too good a thing of it in Sunday games, to bother with the scheme. It was certainly a great scheme on paper, The eastern clubs would save all traveling expenses, and in return were to divide up the gross recelpts of each day on games which had been schoduled for the ‘west. Being pressed for the nime of the magnate who had evolved this grand project for the destruction of the National League, my in- formant named J. Earle Wagner of Wash- ington, with the Philadelphia club backing him up. Washington Management Censured. This was certainly very much like the work of the Wagners, who are in the game for revenue only. Of course, the owners and stockholders of the various clubs in- vest their capital with the idea of getting some return for it, but at the same time are prepared to make monetary sacrifices to strengthen thelr teams, local and club pride, as well as policy, justifying the out- lay. But the Wagners Gre sure-thing finan- ciers, pure and simple, They are out for the dust all the time. The Washington base ball public cuts as much figuro in their transactions as Swipes, the Newsboy, does in the Corbett-Jackson match, If a player on the team develops a bit above the or- dinary his improvement at once places a ommiercial yalue upon him, and J, Earle figuratively waves the red auction flag and asks “Htow much am ay gentlemen?’ There is no other city in the league which would tolerate such methods, At Washing- ton the mep are well attended, simply because the departments are emptied t o'clock, and some yt cent wander to PR Say Ag Ne Bert + i ational i uhder what debasing conditions it may be con- ducted, and because it 1s the most conven- {ent place to spend a couple of hours, What Might Be. Menager Schmelz complains that the pub- lle ‘s cold at the capital. Small wonder, Let some live man with sporting blood in his veins purchase the Washington Club, get together a good team and play for the honor and glory of the city, as well as to the cash Lg! and his returns will be the best in the league. If the present man- agement, with its tail-end team and petty manner of conducting affairs, can draw big money to the park, what would a liberal- minded magnate like Eddie Talcott draw? Gus Schmelz is even more unfortunate than I painted him last week. From members of the team I glean that the manager has to jump at the pulling of the Wagnerlan wires. He has little to say regarding the signing and releasing of his men, and {s In agony at present because the Washington mag- nates (God save the mark) are seized with an o’erwhelming lust, and economy right and left is to be the order. Big Mike Sul- livan has already received his billet, al- though I think Schmelz would like to have Kept him, and “Piggy’’ Ward and “Roar- ing Bill” Hasemaear will draw lots when they get back home to see which is to walk the plank. Field Notes. G. Daniel Kllnefelder, once a well-known base ball player, died at his home in Phil- adelphia Thursday evening, aged fifty-four years. Martin Hogan, hailed as_ the premier center fielder of the Pennsylvania league, has accepted Comiskey’s terms and w join the Cincinnati Reds at Cleveland. He will doubtless be given a trial in Hoy’s place. A story Is being circulated to the ect that a syndicate has been formed in Mon- treal for the purpose of buying the frari- chise of the Cleveland National League club. W. J. Thorn, who. is in Pittsburg, represents himself as being agent of the Montreil people and says that W. C. Me- Cormick, president of the Bank of Montreal, is back of the scheme. Somebody bas presented the New York club a silver cake knife to be given to the player who makes the greatest number of hits from now until the close of the sea- son. The gentleman: evidently infers that the man who does this batting will neces- sarily take the cake. Ward has been laid off by Washington, O'Rourke playing second base and Schel- beck short stop. The Giants are very much in the cham- pionship race. This was expected, how- ever, a month or two ago, when they were losing game after game. They have the pitchers, and pitchers are bound to tell in the end. The St. Louls Browns Muison as 4 tary will not seem like the Browns. George has forsaken base ball to take up theatricals. He is going in advance of a company next season. Unless Nick Young can induce all the official scorers to score alike the records will not count for much. Some scorers are, contrary to al! instructions, taking off times at bat for sacrifice bits. The prime object of every league piayer is to make a home run with three on the bases. ifome runs are common enough, but under the circumstances referred to they are few and far between. Anson is the base ball wonder of the p ent century. He has been playing ball si the last century, but is still pucting up as good a game as anybody. Anson offered to bet Lynch $10,000 to $1 the other day that a decision Lyneh had made was wrong. The umpire did not take the bet. Fanning, Philadelphia's new pitcher, Is said to be capable of putting up a good game behind the bat. Fanning is no spring chicken. Von der Ahe says he has secured two new men, and he hopes to have them on hand before he tackles the eastera clubs. Nearly 26,000 people paid to see the three es between New York and Boston. This es pretty near the record. Some of the New York papers are roast- ing German and are wondering whai Ward is keeping him for. In Boston 'Tenny is known as “Paderew- ski” Tenny, on account of his flowing foot ball locks. THE Without George 8 ‘e ATHLETIC CLUBS, The New Field of the Columbians Being Pat in Condition. Preparations have begun for the fall games of the Columbla Athletic Club. The new field in the old “Van Ni Park is being put into ecndition, although the work is advancing slowly at present, owing to the limited force of workmen. Prof, Cross- ley expects to be able to have the grounds ready by about the 10th of this month. Over two-thirds of the field and about 150 yards of the running track haye already been leveled off. The recent rains, however, have developed several holes, but-these are being rapidly filled and rolled, Prof. Crosssley ¢ pects to have bis men begin trainin the middle of this month, so that th have ample time to prepare for the which wil take place durmg the first week ot October. ‘The grounds present quite a deserted ap- pearance nowadays, with the exception of that side devoted to tennis. Quite a larg number of the members spend their even- ings on the courts, and even during the day several of the courts are occupied. Some work is being done in the boating line, but in the other departments everything is quiet. Y. M. €, Association, Owing to the fact that the association possesses no grounds for field work, the games this fall will probably be abandoned. However, active preparations are going on in the gymnasium for the coming winter work. The “sym.” has been entirely reno- vated and painted throughout, and every- thing presents a bright and clean appear- ance. Quite an improvement has been made in the ker room by replacing the old and variegated set of locks with new combina- tion spring locks. Each lock is vorked by a different combination, and as there are said to be about 5,00) diferent sets of combina- tions it can be seen how dillicult it would be to pick one of the locks. Electric lights are being placed in the “gym.” and several new pieces of apparatus have been ordered, which will all go to make up one of the best-equipped gymna- siums in the city. Prof. Simms, the ath- letic instructor of the association, has just returned from his month's vacation and Was delighted with the improvements made, He declares that this year will prove the most successful and beneficial of any the associ- ation has experienced. He expects to have very large classes in the gymnasium work this year and has already requested some of the older and experienced members, who wish to assist him in his work of instruc- tion this winter, to give him their names. These men he tntends to take under his per- sonal instruction about the middle of this month and by continued practice have everything ready by the Ist of October, when the winter's work begins. Young Men's Catholic Club, The Young Men's Catholic Club are mak- ing preparations for the games which they are to hold on the Gonzaga Coilege campus during the two weeks that the lawn party of the St. Aloysius’ Catholic parish Is in progress. The races are expected to be close and exciting. Bieycle Events. The greatly advertised mile race, unpaced, each man going his own galt alone, occur- red at yesterday's race in Chicago. Fred J. ‘Titus of the Riverside wheelmen, New York, bore away the honors with a mile in 2.14 2-5 —only three secoads outside the world’s record made by Sanger at Waltham last month, Maddox of Asbury Park was ec- ond in time with 2.15 to his credit.

Fox from Parson Davies, the manager of Peter Jackson, in which he insists that the match be arrang- ed in Chicago and declares that he will not come to New York and arrange it. The message was as follows! “The stake money for the Corbett-Jackgon contest being under deposit here this is the proper place for Mr. eure Ree iS Corbett to come, (Signed) Charles EB, (Par- son) Davies.” Corbett said after reading it that Davies’ messege is practically an admission that Jackson does not mean to fight. Corbett will not go to @bitago under any condl- tons, and says t if Jackson wants to make the match hg myst come to New York. “It just corroborates what I have been say- ing all along,” he declared. “Jackson never intended to fight and never will. The idea of my going to Ghicago. Isn't New York good enough? I came all the way from England and I expected to meet Jackson en the dock prepared to have a talk with me. I don’t like to’sa¥ anything that would tend to injure him, but I will let the public judge for itself.’ Corbett says he sent this message to Davies: . “T tried to make them believe in Europe that Jackson was bluffing, but they would not have it. So I,shontened my engagement and came 3,000 miles ito prove he was bluffing. Your dispatch this morning is just what I expected, but it is all right, for it verifies my statement. T will be in New York another week... Now, if you are on the level come here and make your numerous boasts govd."” ON THE TRACK, ‘e Events of Interest at the Racing Centers, One long shot—Missive, at 15 to 1—and two favorites won at the Alexander Island track. yesterday, the other two winners be- ing at comfortable odds, however.

Mr. Stone Says Immigration Must ana WI Be Restrictea. Congressman Stone of Pennsylvania has not been discouraged by the opposition of Secretary Carlisle to his immigration bill, which recently passed the House. Referring to the prospects of legislation upon this sub- ject, Mr. Stone said: “The bill reported by Senator Hill as a substitute for the House bill is, I fear, intended ta kill the House bill. There is no reason why the measure to exclude anarchists should not be added to the House bill as an amendment. We would be giad to accept that. However, the hostility to the House bill manifested by Commissioner Stump before the Senate com- mittee indicates that the administration ts opposed to it. It should be understood that the House bill is simpiy intended to enforce the present laws for restricting immigra- uon, it does not add to the list of those excluded by existing laws, and to any one who desires to enforce them must be unob- jectionable. can see no ground for objection except from steamship companies that are engaged in the unholy trate of transporting to this country criminals and paupers. 1 had hoped that this measure would be considered from 4 patriotic standpoint alone and would not be made a party measure, as the opposition from the aaministration gives me cause to fear it will be.
