BOSTON IS CHAMPION Senators Made It Certain by Defeat- ing the Baltimores. MERCER PITCHED A GOOD GAME His First Victory Over the Orioles in Years. CURRENT NOTES OF SPORT Today’s Games and Weather. Washington at Baltimore, clear. Cleveland at Pittsburg (two games), foggy. Cincinnati at Louisville, hazy. Special From a Staff Correspondent. BALTIMORE, Md., October 1, 1897. Yesterday's game between the Orioles and Senators was a great one to look at from a Washington point of view, as the capital city representative played ail around the birds and won by the score of 9 to 3. The representative of The Star ran across Capt. Tom ‘Brown in the lobby of the Carrollton Hotel in Baltimore yester- day morning and asked him who would do the twirling for the Senators. Capt. Tom replied: “Mercer goes in today. -He thinks he can dewn the birds, and wants to pitch. When a man feels that way I think it is a good chance to take. He has never beaten them yet, but it may be his day and he might pull it off.” Capt. Tom showed his sagacity in trying Mercer once more against his old-time hoo- dces, as the East Liverpool boy was as fit as a fiddle and did the twirling of his life. The Baltimores made nine hits off of his delivery, but up until the fifth but three safeties had been registered against aim, and the errors in the last two innings gave the birds a chance to fatten up their ba ting average. Mercer never worked hard. for a game in his life, being almost con- tinually on the coach line, and when not there yelling at his companions words of CRESCENTS $75 $50 $35 have are the are '96 $75 few finest wheels. equals wheels Brand ‘new. at any that Guaranteed price. $50 for 6 None ever months. at $75. bought. 28-inch wheel.

Time af- ter time the Baltimores have played havoc with Winnie’s slow curves, but yesterday he crossed them off his card, and McGraw, Jennings and Stenzel were the only birds that could do anything with his fast in- shoots. Dr. Pond was on the rubber for the Bal- timores at the beginning of the game, but he saw his finish in the fourth inning, four- teen safeties being made off of his delivery in that time. There was no let-up in Pond during his stay on the rubber. He did his best, but the Senators were keyed up to the top notch, and could have hit the speed of a Rusie. Amole came into the game in the fifth inning, and the game was cinched through a combination of safe hits and errors, four rurs being made. After the fifth it was biankeiy-blank all the way, although safe hits crept into the game here and there, but not a run was ushered over the plate. Many Sensational Plays. The game abounded in sensational plays throughout, Jennings again working in his copyrighted act of running over second and grabbing up a ball with his one hand and nailing his man at first. Selbach in left did the circus act twice, once on a mis- Judged fly that, he took over his shoulder the on dead run, and another time he backed into the left-fleld bleacher fence ard pulled down a home run hit. Leahy at third got in front of a hot one from Mc- Graw’s bat that nearly went through him, starting a nice double play thereby, and Wrigley at short made a phenomenal stop over second, but spoiled it with a bad throw. On the bases the Washington boys were chain lightning, taking every chance ix sight, and as usual, pulled them off three times out of four. ‘The Senators sent the Washington con- tingent into hysterics by tearing two runs off in their first turn at the bat. Selbach walked and went to second as Gettman sent a scorching single to center. De Mont sent a chop hit to Pond, that the latter made a gooi try for, but falled, and the bases were filled. Tommy Tucker then laced a beauty to left, and Selbach and Gettman came home. Baltimore got one of these back in the same inning on Mc- Graw’s single to right, reaching third on Jennings’ single and home on Kelley’s out to Brown. Neither side scored in the sec- ond, but Washington tabbed up one in the third on De Mont's nice single to left, a steal to second, going to third on Robby’s wild throw and home om Tucker's fly to center. In the fourth two-more runs were hung up by the Senators. Wrigley tore off a triple to left, and Mercer did the same thing with one io right. Selbach went to first on balls and on nis force out at sec- ond by Gettman Mercer scored. In the fifth Brown drew a base on balls, after Tucker had struck out, and went to third on Leahy% single to right, and then home on Wrigiey’s force out of Leahy at second. Mercer sent an easy one to Reitz, but the throw went through Doyle, and Wrigley scored and Mercer landed on second. Sel- bach then beat out an infield hit, Mercer gcing to third. Selbach started for second, and on Robinson’s bad throw kept on to third, and Mercer crossed the plate. Gett- man’s double then brought in Selbach. In the sixth, the Orioles tore off two runs, but it was their expiring effort. Jennings started off with a nice single to center and Kelley walked. Qn Stenzel’s single to right Jernings scored and Kelley went to second. Doyle then hit a long fly to right center that Gettman got under, but muffed, ard Kelley scored. Neither side scored from this time out. Umpire Hurst was again the umpire, and the Baltimore people have no kick coming on his decisions, as he seemed to favor them in every close decision. But such de- cisions have to be made, and there is a great deal of luck in the club getting fa- vored, as Hurst is ‘strictly honest and gives the plays as he sces them. BALTIMORE.

Bostch has won the championship for the season of 1807. It has-been fairly ‘and squarely won after a great fight, and the victors deserve all commendation. Boston Kas a great ball club, worthy of the high- est honors of the diamond. But while giv- ing all due credit to the new champions, the adherents of the defeated will hardly admit that the new champions are su- perior to the old. Manifold misfortunes and accidents in the earlier part of. the season, overconfidence and carelessness a number of later games and the unfore- seen slump of the pitchers at ‘the most critical moment all combined to defeat the Orioles, absence of any one of which would have given them the .elrampionship easily. All that Is left for the Orioles now is to win the Temple cup, and get ready to win the pennant again in 1898. WHAT MR. HANLON SAYS. An Unexpected Change in Pitching Form Cost the Flag. From the Baltimore American, Manager Hanlon takes ‘his defeat philo- sophically, and is not throwing mud at anybody. “The thing about the race which dis- pleases me most,” said Mr. Hanlon, after the game yesterday with Washington, “4s the intimation which’ I sometimes hear that we did not want to win. No one who has given the matter any thought could be the author of such a sentiment. How could we know that Corbett would not pitch in his usual form, andy it was that one thing that defeated us. Understand, I “am not looking around to make excuses. Corbett's let-down was one of the fortunes of war, and I accept it as such. The foremost idea of Mr. Von der Horst is to win pennants. To that end he is most liberal. Could we have foreseen that our pitching would not stand the pace, we weuid; have strength- eneq- it, even if at the cost of a fortune. A week before the great!gamés with the Bos- ton*team our pitching, staff ,was admittedly the strongest in the country, .As oun field- ‘ihg“has been consistently. good right along, we .thought that, with the pitching, we would again land the flag. Our friends in Beston, I noti¢ed-at tne ft ne, “commented on the strength of our pitchers, and f felt confident that they would help us win. We went wrong on this form, and you know the rest. I have no complaint to make with the men on the Baltimore team. They have through @ season which they have gotten up unpre- cedented misfortunes. I refer to cod con- wi against such obstacles is a comfort! thought. You know I make it @ rule never to comment in public on the work of the men on our team. In to their play- ing for the season I am more than pleased, and the loss of the pennant is no fault of theirs. We have received information that the 1897 pennant will be presented to the Boston team in the Tremont Theater next Monday night. Of course, we expect to be in Boston at that time, and we shall do anything asked of us to make the presen- tation a memorable occasio1 The rela. tions between the Boston management and ourselves are of the most cordial nature, and we congratulate them on their vic- tory.” WATCHING THE BULLETINS. Great Joy. Manifested Over the Double Victory. Interest in the deciding game of the Ne- tional League contest was great In Wash- ington, as was indicated by the gathering that stood on llth street in front of The Star’s big bulletin board yesterday after- noon for two hours and watched the figures go down that indicated that Baltimore had lost the pennant and Washington had gain- ed the first division. It would be too much to say that interest was equally divided be- tween these two results. There was an in- tense and practically universal wish to have Boston win the pennant. That Wash- ington should also go up a notch was high- ly gratifying, but was not indispensable. The crowd was in good humor from the first. The first bulletin from the Baltimore game was “Washington, 2; Baltimore, 1.” It caused a ringing cheer. There was not great confidence, for every one knew how Prone the Orioles are to win out at any time. A few minutes later came the Brook- lyn bulletin—“Boston, 5; Brooklyn, 0.” ‘Then what a cheer went up. “If Washington wins Boston will have the pennant,” was the cry. Little interest was taken in the New York game, and general relief felt that there were no western games; only Baltimore and Brooklyn were thought of. It was soon seen that Boston had its game all right. “What's the matter with Baltimore?” was the universal question. Cipher after cipher went up for the Orioles. The Senators were evidently play- ing great ball. The bulletin board operator began writing a new name after the fourth inning. It began with A. “Hey, they’ve knocked Pond out of the box and Amole’s gone in,” one spectator ventured. A rousing cheer followed, and it was mul- tiplied- shortly after wnen n>ws came that ‘Washington had scored 4 off Amole. The operator was so = oye ~ printed the down. Then Baltimore awoke aoe me scoring 2. Were the champions just beginning? A very uncasy feeling the crowd that stood “waiting in the gathering gloom. But both sides had done scoring. “Nothing, noth- ing,” was the monotonous repor: until just on the stroke of 6 came the last bulletin. ‘There arose a wild. shrill y: hat could be heard for blocks.

Cycle Club at the International Athletic Park. A sharp contest will be seen in the five- mile U. S. championship race. The prize, a beautiful silver trophy, valued at $35, must be won three years in succession. The present holder, Mr. H. W. Freeman, ir., will be in form to prevent this trophy chenging hands, while the local wheelmen are determined that at least it shall re- main credited to Washington. The gold medals in the novice and two- mile District of CoMmbia championship races, valued at $10 and $15, respectively, will bring out many new riders, and in the former, very likely, a few will “mix up,” to add tc the excitement of the occasion. Considerable speculation is being made as to who will be the winner of the one- mile open, for which a diamond scroil scarf pin, valued at $25, will be awarded as the first prize. > The base ball game scheduled for yester- day between Cleveland and Pittsburg, at Pittsburg, was postponed on account of fog. Should Boston land the flag a couple more times, there will be against that team the same antagonism which handicapped the Orioles this year.—Baltimore American. Not a bit of it. The antagonisim to the Orioles is antagonism to unsportsmanlike methods. Boston’s success means that de- cent ball playing wins. Earl Wagner and Tom Brown of the Sen- ators received telegrams last night from Manager Selee, President A. H. Soden and Captain Duffy of Boston, congratulating them on the victory. Captain Duffy’s tele- gram was to Captain Brown, and read “Congratulations for giving us the boost to the top of the flagpole.
