It is hard to believe that Chase would be guilty of such low practice. The Cin- cincinnati club unless it had absolute proof, should have kept the charges secret. Unless backed by incontro- vertible evidence, such as led to the blacklisting of Hall, Devlin, Nichols and Carver of the Louisville National league club of 1877, charges of “throwing” games are hard to prove. The major leagues have not had a case such as Chase’s since the 1877 incident, in which telegrams showed that the four players named had gambled against Louisville and then tossed off games to opposing clubs. The Louisvilles left on their final &g *he East that year with the pennant as good as won, but sudden- ly began to drop games. Investiga- tion proved the four players named to be in collusion for the benefit of the enemy, and they promptly were thrown out of haseball. Devlin, who hed received only $100 out of the transaction, pleaded on his deathbed tor a pardon, but it was refused. WORLD’S RIES QUESTION. Each day it becomes more apparent that either Cleveland or Washington has a chance to beat out the Red Sox, who seem to be temporarily doundering, with no certainty that hey will come back with the kick aecessary to win the American league pennant. Cleveland, only two games Jehind the Sox vesterday, has what to us looks like a good utside chance to win, since Baghby and Coveleskie are capable of pitching winning ball often and the team is keyed up for a Anish fight. The Giants, too, still have a mathematical chance to beat he Cubs, but for once Broadway has quit on them. With the constant \hifts he is forced to make, and with e Polo Grounders looking like any- Nng but the formidable team that e out of Marlin, most fans have 1b&t relinquished hope. BREAKS BELL ROPE.
