Nanuie Berthoud did not return with her mother but remained to visit friends at New Haveu. The wedding and visiting cards executed by the Mermod Jaccard Jewelry Company, Fourth and Locust, excite universal admiration for their elegance. They only charge $1 for 100 visiting cards from plate and cut; Jl. 50 for 100 cards and finely engraved copper-plate. Cards have been received announcing the I rv jCew Yorks had 8 of their men struck out, while only 6 of Brooklyn did the same tiling.

The catchers on both sides let 3 bails go by. and the pitchers sent 8 New Tforkers and 11 Brooklyn men to bases on balls' Wild pitches were 3 and 4 in New York's favor. Four double plays were made by the Giants. Coming nearer home the statistics will grow more interesting." Five frames have bee played by the Browns and Maroons of this city, ana cue ngures reuounu iuc thetiow champions of the world, all around. All five games have been won by the Brown Stockings teaia.

and the total number of runs made bv them is 30; the total number made by the Maroons is 10. Of these the Browns earned and the Maroons but 1. Of single base uita the Browns made 33 and the Maroons 26; of two-base hits the Browns knocked 8 and the Maroons 4. The Maroons have 28 errors on their side of the book and the Browns 19. The Association champions' pitchers struck out 31 men of the Maroons and -the League Club pitchers 28 ot the Browns' batsmen.

The Maroons' catchers permitted 6 bails to pass them by, and the Browns but half of that number. The Maroons' pitcher sent 9 men to first base by bad delivery and the Browns but 4. The Maroons' pitchers went wild 4 times and the Browns' but once. The Maroons' runners stole 7 bases and the Browns' runners saw them and went one better. Lach club made 1 double play.

Tne last series of ihter-games between clubs of the National League and the American Association is fresh yet in every mind. It was the culminating point of a two-years' agitation and was the one decisive ser.es of the National game. Six games were played by the St Louis Browns and the Chicago White Stockings, the champions of their respective organizations, and in the figures in these as in the vast majority of the games analyzed above, the superiority of the American Association is. to the League loins, painiuiiv Of the six games the Browns won 4 and the Chicagos, 2. The total number of runs made by the Browns was 38 while that made by the Chicago was 28.

The Browns' batterv hammered out 49 single hits, 6 two base 8 three base hits and 2" home runs while Chicago was satisfied with 39 singles, 5 doubles, 5 triples and3 home runs. The Browns made but 3D errors to the 41 of Chicago; their catchers had but 4 passed balls to Chicago's 8 and their pitchers sent 18 of the Chicagos to bases while the Chicagos' pitchers sent 17, only 1 less. The Chicago twiilera made 9 wild pitches and the Browns' but 2. The Browns stole 6 bases but the Chicagos could do it only 3 times. On double play, however, the White frtockings had the advantage making 4 to the Browns' 1.

The Browns struck out 36 times and the Chicagos 20. In figuring out the totals on the above plan it will be found that in the thirty games described above the advantage will in almost every particular be on the side of the Assoc. a-tion: Kuus Association, 161; League, 125.

THE ASSOCIATION. Th National Body Oat-Played, at Almost All Points by the American Aaalysis of Thirty Games Between Representative Clubs in Both Local Billiard News Football Sporting: Notes. Not a little discussion has been caused by the question Which is the better as a base ball organization, the American Association or the National League?" The question is one which will produce no end of wrangling, which leads on all sides to no very pleasant result and al ways ends unsatisfactorily lor the parties concerned. League men point proudly to the precedence of their organization to the fact that it holds a majority of the men whose names have been for years Identified with the diamond; to the great contests it has had and all that sort of tiling, at the same time smiling on the League's younger brother with an expression of toleration, but no more. The main drift of opinion in the direction of the League's alleged superiority cau be traced to the fact that in many cities the people wno so belittle the Association have never seen its clubs play bail between themselves, let alone with renresentative cluDS or tne national body and.besaing the question from the start.

Dutit down in their notebooks as a foregone conclusion that clubs in the Association have no more business with their own than a dray horse has with a thoroughbred. Ihis seems to be the case, particularly with Chicago, where the absurd question, "What is the Association?" has often been asked! Apart from the fact that Chicago was answered fully and completely on the White Stocking ball ground in that city and at Sportsman's Park in this, other cities, in the Union have been answered as well, and it is to particularize this fact that the Post-Dispatch presents its readers with the figures given below. Taking thirty games played this fall between the clubs of the two organizations, it has been found that at every point almost the Association has shown itself vastly superior to the older aggregation. It must be remembered, too, that these results were worked out when the men on the playing clubs were all In good condition, fresh from the long season's practices; that the clubs had their best teams in the field and that the final results were all that were looked to. The first remarkable defeat suffered by the League was in a eame which Chicago played With Pittsburg before the season had come to a close.

In that game the League champions were badly defeated by the Smoky City lads. To the 3 runs made by Chicago, Pittsburg scored 10; of earned runs, 3 went down for Pittsburg and a goose egg for Chicago. The score and summary of the game showed this result: Base hits, Pittsburg, 14; Chicago, errors, Pittsburg, Chicago, three-base hits, Pittsburg, Chicago, struck out, Pittsburg, Chicago. first base on balls, Pittsburg, Chicago, 2. Each club made one double play.

Thus it will be seen that "Hustling Horace and his aggregation" outplayed the Chicago people at every point. In- two games which the Pittsburgers played with the next best club in the League, the Detroits, Phillips' team shut out the League men In one and tied them in the other. In the two games Pittsburg men crossed the plate 10 times to Detroit's made 11 hit to the 9 of Detroit; made 4 errors to Detroit's earned 8 runs while Detroit earned 2. Detroit's pitchers sent six Pittsburgers to bases on balls and Pittsburg's but seven balls were Detroit's catcbers- ami none by Other work was: Two base nits, Pittsburg, Detroits, 3 base hits. Detroit.

Detroit -made double are'rr' games played by Louisville and the lilue-grass crowd scored 18 times the cowboys winnin- both games, neoned out 2a 8inle8 to their 21; made 3 ine igaers and 1 two bagger to the 1 each of -pponents and scored 9 errors to their earned runs Louisville batted out 7 and City 0. The cowbovs' pitchers, how-v, struck out 13 of the Heckerites and 10 7 boys fanned out. Passed balls, Kansas City.

of baseson balls took 7 and the cowboys Louisville made 2 wild pitches and Kansas City 1 and the only double play had to be given to Louisville. Baltimore and Washington, the tail-endrs respectively oi the Association and the Leaarue. make a fine comparison in five trames they played together. Although Bamie's club won three out of the fiv games the Nationals had more runs to their credit, for the reason that in one of the games the score was 191 in their favor. Had the runs been made In proportion they would have been greatly smaller in number for the League club.

However, to the 19 runs brought in by Baltimore In the five games, Washington had 29 to its credit. In errors Washington had 16 while Baltimore had 21. Of hits 27 were chalked down for the Church City, while the Capital had 2 more to their credit. Two-base hits Washington, Baltimore. three-base hits, 2 each struck out, each 26; passed balls By Baltimore catchers, by Washington catchers, 9.

Of the Baltimores 17 men took first on six balls, and of Washington 9. Of earned runs Washington piled up 8 and Baltimore 4. Baltimore stole 8 bases and Washington 3, and the only double play was made by Baltimore. Although th totals will not show it, Baltimore out-piayea the Wastt-ingtons in all the games but the last, which negatived all their good work in tha other four. One game was played between the Association tail-enders and the Detroits, and the latter were easily defeated, the Baltimores clearly outplaying the Wolverines at all points and stages of the game.

The score-book showed that the Association club made 9 runs to the 4 of the Detroits, one of the former's being earned. The errors were 4 to 6 in Baltimore's favor. This club made 2 three-base hits, and 1 double was made by both. Baltimore batters hit safely 11 times, hile Detroit got there but 6. Strike outs-Baltimore, Detroit, 7.

In two games played between the Phlladel-phlas and the Athletics, the League club won one and the other was a tie. In both Philadelphia scored 11 runs and the Athletics but 6. as they were shut out. 60, in the first game. The 1 hillies earned 3 out of the 11 runs, and the Athletics.

Athletics 1 No wild pitches were made by Philadelphia' and 4 by the Athletic side. Wright's base runners stole 4 bags, while only one Athletic man attempted it successfully.

On double plays the Athletics beat their opponents, the score on this head being 2 to 1. games were played by the New Tork ulants and tha Metropolitans and Mutrie's men captured all ol them. Tne Giants made jut three times as many runs as did the "trophy" end of the string, the total being 12 to 4. The New Yorks batted out 18 singles to 17 of the Mets and made 7 errors, 2 less than the oppo- eition. The Mets got even by making 4 two bases to the three of New York and one thrte bagger to a zero in the same line on the New York side of the house.

In strike-outs the two clubs were a tie, 7 men on each dying at the hauds of their pitchers. No balls escaped the Mets' catchers while 2 got by the New Yorkers'. For each side 5 men took first base on bad balls. Of the New Yorks' 12 runs, 3 were earned and of the Mets' total, 4. 2 wers earned.

New York had one stolen base and 3 double plays to its credit and the Mets no stolen bases and one double play. The Giants, how rer, met with another reception when they went across the bridge and tackled an association clnb.which while it didn't amount to much in the Association kept bet' ter company than tail-end people like the Met- roplitans. Out of the three contests which Mutrie's self-styled pennant winners had with, tho Brooklyn team the latter club won 2. Byrnes' men scored 17 runs to the 15 of the Leaguers, though they earned only 3, which (was 1 lens than their neighbors. Of the Brook-lynttes ii went to first on safe hits, while 19 only of the New Yorks did the same thing.

It is claimed by the League people and their or gans that their pitchers are much superior to those of the which accounted for the heavy battinsr in the latter.

Assuming this to be true, how cart the Association fielders hold up end so wen, as wnen tne pitching is lnenective and the batting heavy, the ball is hit much harder at the fielders than if it was effective, thus making fielding so much more difficult? But if the pitchers in the Association are inferior to those of the League, why is it that the League batters are unable to bat their delivery in the exhibition games? But this talk about the League haviag better pitchers is all nonsense.
