The change of Wrigley to second in place of O'Brien looks like a good one from this distance. Wrigley is O'Brien's peer as a fielder, and as the latter has been hitting in hard luck perhaps a lay-off will do him good. The Orioles got a dose of “Baltimore medicine” at Cincinnati yesterday, and, cf course, Manager Hanlon protested Umpire Sheridan's decisions instead of taking de- feat like a true blue soldier. Every decision that the Baltimores kicked on was of the close kind, and could have been decided either way with fairness. The agreement of Tommy Corcoran to play with Cincinnati means a great deal to that club. Tommy is a great fighter. be- sides a great player, and wiil help to take “yellow streak” out of the club's make-up. It is reported from the west that Presi- dent Freedman has decided to release Jake Beckley from a New York contract. Jake had batted up to .283 at the beginning cf the week, being ahead of such sluggers as Anderson, Everett, Lyons, Griffin, Clem- ents and Burkett, and at fielding was put- ung up a better game than Jack Doyle, Tenney and Lajoie. No attempt wil be made to play a game at Cleveland tomorrow, the game with EBal- timore being transferred to next Thurs- day. Robison has decided to fight the question ovt in the courts. One of Jake Beckiey’s chief attraciions as a base ball player is ginger, a thing sad- ly lacking in the’ make-up of the Sena‘ors. Brown, Wrigley, Selbach and Abbey have not made an error so far on the Senators” western trip. DeMont is making the most errors, but there is nothing that is hit tha: he will not try for. A week ago Manager Stallings very em- phatically said that Umpire Sheridan had not been drinking while officiating at Louis- ville. After Tuesday's game, in which the Philliés got a leetle the worst of it from Sheridan, Stallings played the baby act hy referring to the umpire’s aileged drunken- ness in the bourbon city. If that Cincinnati team ever gets the lead they Lad last year it is more than dollars to a doughnut bet that they will not quit as they did last year. Corcoran is too much of an Irishman for that. Ely is a wonder on a ground ball and at hard, fast throwing. Capt. Anson sat on the bench Wednesday and enjoyed the novelty of seeing nis Colts howl over opposing pitchers as fast as Capt. Duffy could stand them up in the box. Mahoney has all the marks of a comer in the pitching Hine, and when he fills out he is Hable to drive other people out of the business.—Chizago Inter-Ocean. Freedman wes so mad Wednesday night that he looked around for some one to knife. He released Pitcher Souders, a youngster, left at home. MecJames struck out Burkett Tuesday and claims he also did the trick to Soxalexis. Hurst did not allow it, however, and the Indian showed good headwork at striking at the next ball tossed, which happened to be a wild pitch. He beat the ball to first.— Cleveland Leader. Manager Hanlon of the champions was asked before yesterday's game whether he expected to win the championship again this year, and he-answered: “I do not claim the pennant, but I know that we've got a good chance for it. Our team is stronger this year than ever, but still we may be beaten out. I believe that Bos*5a, Cincin- nati and, in fact, the majority of the teams are stronger this year than last.”—Cleve- land Enquirer. McGraw held Vaughn in the third inning yesterday when he turned third base on his way to the plate, but the Reds’ first base- man managed to get out of is hold in time to score. Quinn attempted to block Miller in the eighth, but “Dusty” turned the trick on him and kneed him out of the way. In the second at St. Louis Tuesday, with one out and two on bases, Jones hit a long fly to deep left, which Turner Judged to a nicety right up against the feice. As he was about to close his hands on the sphere Mike Griffin of the Brooklyns yelled, “Look out, Tuck!” Tuck did look out, with tl result that the ball went into the “lake’ and three Bridegrooms scored. The Chicago bleachers nicknamed Ma- honey “Colossus,” “Little Vagrant,” “Spi- der,” “Young Rusie,” “Toy Balloon,” “Robin” and “The Air Ship.” Duffy, who came to its knees, introduced the bud: as “just plain Mahoney.” As soon as the bud was in the box, it of course wanted to waltz. The Colts furnished the music.— Chicago Times. On Tuesday at Chicago there was a funny wind-up. Donahue hit a ball down hard in front of the plate. It bounded as high as a “young” fly, and, apparently, Tim had scored another hit. Not so. With the air of Eve picking apples off the tree faster than nature could put them on, Mahoney, the young giant, soune, one arm in the air, caught the — as it was Whe age char “tongue, was bang n vitts’ tongue was hi out ‘Tuesday Duffy tried another Sierec smere: He walked to his bench and drew forth a nee = . He young i to the and the bleachers stood up and howled like somesice dogs arguing with the moon. It was big George Mahoney.- In- * are minor teams, such as the Linden, Bel- field, Wayne and Haddonfield elubs. Crick- et has a strong footing at the University of Pennsylvania, whose team has a high rank. The most beautiful cricket in the country are Manheim, the fine old colonial place at Wayne, owned by the Germantown Cricket Club. An entire city square is field covered with closely well-kept turf, and the pitch is admirable. On three sides are the buildings of the club, from the win- dows, porticos and roofs of which specta- tors view the games. A more attractive scene than Manheim on the occasion of a great match cannot be found on an ath- letic field in America. Cricket in New Englard is confined most- ly to Massachusetts. St. Paul's School, at Concord, N. H., sometimes termed ‘the American Rugby, maintains cricket, and sends some good players up to the col- leges. The eleven of the Bosion Athletic Association played twenty-three games last year. Then there are the Boston Cricket the Lowells, the Brocktons, the Lynns, Lynn Wanderers, the Zingari, Al- bion of Highiandville, East Bostons, Ev- erett of Everett, Mass., and Merrimack of Lawrence.

The New York Cricket As- sociation also had an exciting series. Those taking part were Paterson, Kings County, ere pear. New Jersey A. C., st. A. C., Columbia and Hariem. There is 5 healthy interest in cricket at Chicago. The Chicago Cricket Association includes St. George, Chicago, Wanderers A and B, Pullman and 8. Lawrence clubs. The Australian cricketers paid Chi- cago a visit las: year, recognizing the es- tablishment of the sport. The Wanderers | made a tour of Canadian cities, playing matches at Chatham, London, Hamilton, Toronto and Rosedale. A Toronto eleven Went to Chicago and played two matches. The Northwestern Cricket Association held its first tournament at Chicago. Teams from St. Paul and Omaha were present. San cisco has the Alameda Cricket Club and Placer county has {ts eleven.

A group of spectators yesterday watch- ed the final match in the singles in the tennis tournament for the championship of tke south in singles on the courts of the Bachelor Club. Thomas S. Driscoll played E. P. Warfield, and, although the men were not evenly matched, the contest was not without its good poluts, Driscoll won by a score of 6-4; 6-4; 5-7; 63. As a resuit of this game Mr. Dr'scoil gets the silver pitcher offered as first prize, and will play J. P. Paret today for tne championship trophy. A handsome silver bowl, which is the second prize, goes to Mr. Warfield. Play was also continued yesterday in the doubles. Paret and Davidson beat Warfield and Ogden by a score of 6-4; 6-0. ‘This afternoon the finels will be played between Messrs. Paret and Davidson and Messrs. Driscoll and Goodfellow. In the consolation match Ogden beat Hall, 4-6; 6-1; 6-1. The game between Clay and Ogden was not finished. Clay won ih2 first set by a sc.re of 6-1 and Ogden the seccnd set by a score of 6-0. TO PLAY BALTE RE Bow: LERS, Interesting Tenpin Match on Saengerbund Alleys. An interesting tenpin match will be the one played on the alleys of the Washing- ton Saengerbund tonight between the bowl- ing teams of the Cclumbia Athletic Club and the Baltimore Catholic Club. A se- ries of twelve games have already been rolled, each team winning six. The last set of games, which were played in Balti- more on May 8, resulted in a victory for the Baltimore bowlers, which allowed them to tie the local team, the C. A. C. having been in the lead. At that time it was de- cided to roll a further set of three games on alleys foreign to both teams, hence the arrangement with the Saengerbund for the use of their alleys tonight. There will be a big crowd of C. A. C. rooters on hand to cheer their team on to victory. HOMING PIGEONS. the Flight of Birds of the Washington District of the National Federation.

There were entered nearly 500 birds from twenty-five lofts. Weather conditions were bad, Liberator J. L. Reid wiring north wind at start.

CHEss, Mr. Harris played three games in the spring tournament at the Washington Chess Club Saturday evening, and thereby completed his schedule. He won from Tib- betts and Thomas, and lost to Anthony. Up-to his last gome he had a clean score of victories. His score is quite creditable, and insures him first prize in the tournament. By winrning from Harris Anthony tied O'Farrell for second place. Each of these parties has two games yet to play. The result of the game between them will prob- ably settle which will win second prize. Mundelle won from Prender and advanced a notch, and Smith also won from Prender.
