Few of the men are conversant with the signals and only demtltory scrimmage practice has been Indulged In. An eleven that has been In training since the middle of September should make th myrtle and maroon tram pant. Rose Polytechnic, the eleven that opposes Washington tomorrow, is probably no better off than Washington, as its eleven is said to have obtained a late start.

Today the Washington squad will hav Its final practice. Signals and light scrimmage work will be the program. hat the makeup of the team will be is probably a subject that Coax-b. Boynron la already guessing hard Over. The entire Bquad will be worked out.

Oct. -2 Speculation on the post-season series took a shift In favor of the Pirates here today, as a result of yesterday's victory of the National leaguers by th? score of 7 to 3. The Boston team had been at even money and better to win tho necesitary five games first, but Pittsburg-- strong showing has caused a change of front. Several wafers at 10 to 9 and 10 to in favor of Pittsburg are recorded. If the Pirates win today's game the Boston end will drop out of sight in the btt ing.

Toiay's frame will see even a greater turnout of fans than yesterday's, if the pnrk can hold them. Schoolmaster Sam j.eever is announced to work for the Pirates, with either IVnwn or Hughes opposing. All Boston is talking about the cape or rattles shown by the Boston team In the first inning. Parent and Collins were about the only members of the Bostons that kept their heads, the others going to pieces badly. In the field the Bostonians could not be certain of anything and at bat Phillipe was an eternal mystery.

Young undoubtedly would have kept his alrshSp on earth but for the erring behind him. But one run Fhould have counted In first and the three that followed were due to the ascension of the team, old Cy included. Two men were easy outs for Bostorrin the first, and It appeared that Cv was going to be at his best. Then the trouble beit.in. I -each tripled and Wagner's single scored him.

Wagner made a daring dash for second and got away with the steal. Ferris went Into the air on Bianstield's drive, fumbled and the runner was safe, Wagner going to third. Branstleld put Crler In the air by a dash for second. Cricer threw to the centor Held and Wagner scored. Here Young unhitched his and soared.

He passed Ritchey. Sebring singled, Branstleld scoring. Young hA three strikfs on Phelps, but Criger let the ball pass and Phelps was safe, while another score tally. Phillips ended the agony with a strike out. Yonnj? Loses Nerve; Phillipe Is Steady.

After that inning Young was Ineffective. His nerve was gone and ho was hit freely trroughout the game, beside giving two more bases on balls. Phillipe. on the other hand, was steady as a clock and the nervous Beiantown men could not find his curves for needful safeties. Pittsburg had Its total of 7 runs scored before Boston began to tally.

This camp in the seventh when Freeman and Parent both tripled and La Chance drove out a long ftv. In tlw ninth Boston started again, and on Wagners bad fumble and hits by Par-nit and Ferris, one run tallied. The rally died there. The concensus of opinion here is that nttsburg outplayed Boston at nil stages, and showed better nerve under fire and hnrder batting. The fans expect Boston to rally from their nervousness today, and one of the most exciting struggles of the year to take place.

Lotus Browns of the American conclude their two-game series here this afternoon. Either Wright or Pelty will work for the visitors and Phillips for the Reds.

It appeared that the Pacific coast man was In for a hard bumping, but he straightened up and the Cardinal had a difficult time annexing one more tally their last of the game.

Vpsets In yesterday's lnter-league garner were so numerously in favor of the National League that local fans are beginning to waver in their belief that the Browns will run away with the series against the Cardinals, which will open here tomorrow at Sportsman Park. Out of five contests between tams ot the two leagues, the National-teams won three.

The Cardinals arro gave the Cleve-Innds a run before yielding to defeat and. In general, played better baseball than was expected of them. The Browns, on the other hand, lost to Cincinnati, after It appeared they had the game won. The team was four runs In the lead at the end of the first half of the eighth, but lost tho contest. Assistant Secretary Sidney Mercer of the Browns, who is In town concluding arrangements for tomorrow's contest, thinks it by no "means a walk-away that the Browns will take the Berles right off the reel.

"The Cardinals have two men who will be hard for tho Browns to beat. Thev are Brown and McFarland, I was with the Cardinals early this season and have since followed the work of these two twirlers. They are both first-class men. "Donovan will probably give thVm as mucin work In the series as they can stand and they will always be dangerous. I look for two strictly first-class baseball games Saturday ana hunday.

we will send in Powell and SudhofE to oDnooe Brown and McFarland, probably Fowcil against Brown. "Still, the Browns ought to win the series. Thir wotk. has been consistarvtly good since their recovery from the bad slump of the mid-peason. Swander, Bow-cock and Hill have braced the team Immensely and the fans will at least have an opportunity of getting a line on our next season team 'which will be a good one." Manager P.

J. Donovan will hardly be able to get Into any of the post-season games unless a miracle lharpens. The Cardinals' leader is thin as a rail and vellow with malaria, and could not do himsolf Justice If he attempted to play. Ha will direct his team from the bench. "If mv men play ball." said P.

J. Donovan, "the Browns will know they have been In a contest every time. I think we will get together and tan these Browns, just to show that the American League right straight through Is not so strong as it's cracked up to be. "The way the Pirate. Chicago Nationals and Reds put it over their opponents yesterday shows that the boasted superiority of the American League Is, after all.
