Chicago at Cincinnati. CROOKED WORK Br BURKETT. It Probably Saved tbe Laet Game For Cleveland.

Cleveland. Sept. 26. was no foolishness about to-day gram. The regular Cleveland team played.

Cy Young- was In the box and every point was fought for. The result was a pretty and close tune. Louisville might have won but for tricky work by Burkett. which the umpire failed to see. Louisville began the game by going out 'in order, and singles by Burkett and Chllds gave no more to Cleveland.

In the second the Colonels went the same way, but McGarr. who started Cleveland" half with a base on balls, got around as Te-beau's sacrifice. Blake's out and Young's Ingle. In the third Cllngman singled, but the next three were easily disposed and McAleera single aixi a stolen base were the best Cleveland could get. Two good catches by Burkett and a beauty by Mc-Aleer retired the Colonels In the fourth, and Rogers single tn 4h eanllme was wasted.

Cleveland's half was unsuceess- ful. and so was Louisville's next, buC singles by Chllds. McAleer and O'Connor, after Burkett had hit safely and been caught stealing second, scored one run in i the Fifth. Both sides were out in order In the sixth, but Louisville tied the score In the next, Clarke singled, and after Rogers had struck out Pickering hit to McAleer. who muffed the ball after a hard run.

but threw out Clarke at Second. Dolan walked to first and a wild pitch followed by Cllngman's single sent In two runs. Cleveland got one back and won the game on Burketfs bunt, Chllds' single and a fielder's choice which failed to catch Burkett at the plate when Chllds batted. There was plenty of fun In the eighth. One man was out when Tebeau'a muff gave Dexter a life.

Holmes, who played in McCreery's place, went out unassisted to Tebeau. and while Ems lie back was turned Dexter, the Cleveland players claim, cut second and got to third. Emslie did not see it. but that did not prevent a row. While halt the team was with Eroalle and Dexter was smiling, Burkett walked up and pushed him off the base, while McOarr.

who held the ball all the while, shouted to Emslie and touched the man. Emslie did not see Burketfs trick and called Dexter out, which put the row on the other side, and It was a hot one. The ninth gave nothing but a single to Pickering and tbe season was over. Score: "cUrST atib.po.a.e.1 iTvllia, ab.lb.po.a.e. Burkett If.

The season of 199S closes with the Louisville team, all things considered. In better shape than at any time since the American Association pennant was won.

Tbe pitching and fielding are good enough to keep the team on even terma with all F6 FCRNITDItEV TkT T5T71VTC1TTVTn TVT comers, though the batting has been light, and for that reason special attention to it is given by the publication below of the individual batting records of all the players for the- season. But while the batting might be strengthened, it might also ba done at the expense of the fielding, which would offset it. As the players are yourg and nearly all show great promise the writer has faith in the team as it stands. In Pickering and Dexter, it is believed, are men -who will next season keep company with Clarke and McCreery in toe -3u0 class. Dexter has tbe making of a fin beta tan.

and with this year's experience should be a valuable man next year. however, shows greater promise than alcCreery did at the dess of last season. Though a heavy hitter In the Virginia League. Pickering got off on the wrong font In the big League, On the 1st day of September his average was but ls Bat as he bees adjusted to new conditions he made tip the lost ground In a manner surprising to his most sanguine friends, doing, in fact, tbe best work of the team. Dexter has been on the point of breaking Into the class several times toward the close of the season.

Rogers and Dolan also show promise of batting as well next year as Dexter and Pickering have done this season, while their tl elding can not be improved upon. While Cllngman and Johnson are not heavy hitters, their fielding goes a long way toward winning games, and. besides, it is impossible to have a whole team of hitters. The batting records for this year speak for themselves, tiera they are REGULAR TEAM. Player.

As far as the Louisville Club was concerned It, closed yesterday. For the past few days the fight between Louisville and St. Louis to avoid last place has been one of the prettiest of the season, and the record of the Colonels against Cleveland on the Spiders' own lot is sufficient to revive the interest for next It must be said that the Colonels have played remarkably well since Pickering WHAT v.

and Dolan Joined the team, which prove the assertion, made in these columns some time ago, that the position of shortstop' was the kayutone of a team. Since these young Virginia League players joined the team the Colonels have been playing first division ball. But the end is not yet. Man- aer McOunnigie goes so far that he say he wlU give Louisville a tea, next yeas? which will stand a fighting chance to land the flag. If he executes the deals be ha In contemplation, and there is no reason why they abonld not be consummated.

Louisville wOl really have a great ball team. Again, if these deals go through a great bowi will be raised by some of the Louisville "tans." but the popularity of cert in men on a bail team does not win games. The changes which will be made can be summed un la a few words, though they mean much. McCreery and Dexter will not play with, the Colonels naxt year. The Louisville team la In fins snaps as far as nrst base and snort.

top are eonoernea, but Manager McOunnigie says he wants stars for second and third bases men whe ran hit well as well as field the ball. Both Baltimore and Cleveland are eager to trade almost any player for Tom McCreery. Manager McOunnigie wants either Second-baseman Riets or Second-baseman Ch litis In exchange for McCreery. and he has reasons to believe he can get them. Philadelphia wants Dexter above all other players in the League, and the price Manager Mo-Gunnlgle asks for him is Lave Craa who wUl till third base.

Rogers Is the best first-baseman the Colonels ever had. and Dolan gives promise of being as good a shortstop aa Jennings is or ever was. It Is certain that he is the best man Louisville has bad since Jennings was traded. With an infield like Rogers. Chllds.

Dolan and Cross tbe Colonels could cope with any in the League. It has been settled that -Ducky" Holme will play right field regularly next year. Dr. Stucky has kept-' him from playing-, thia year because of tn injury he received tn Montgomery durlnn the team's spring practice, whea his cellar. was oronea, Hut a-ioime is in gooa snape now, and wita a winter of rest ne.

Pickering; and Clark fx pf course, will cover eeater held and left field, respectively. Manager McOunnigie says that Clarke can not be bought for any price.

He, is a winner." Of the pitchers. Fraser. Hill and Cunningham will be retained. Each of their salaries will increased for next year, McFariand will be recalled from 1 Rochester, and he and Herman win be given fair trial when the season opens next year. Another catcher, and probably two backstops, will be signed for next uaaon.

Geo. Miller will captain the and will ow muai au worav trom ins coacning lines. The season closes with, the Colonels rn better shape than they Were at any time during the season. The present team is stronger than any which ever represented the city, and if the contemplated deal are consummated, the city will be represented by an organisation' which will reflect credit upon even if It does not capture that gaudy piece of silk bunting, on which wUl be the words: "Champions CLEVELAND PLAYERS LOSE.

The past season was the snost successful in the club's history. Manager Comlskey has tried new pitcher. His name is Isabell and he halls from Virginia. It is dollars to dimes that the young fellow won't last. Think of the bleachers toying with the name "Isabell, "Bella." "Isabella," "Daisy Queen of Spain." and so on ad infinitum.

Oh. no, that youngster can't stand the storm. Baltimore fans are charged with apathy because they have not celebrated tbe winning of the pennant for the third time by the Orioles in tbe demonstrative manner they did their success in 1894 and 189S. They are saving their enthusiasm In the hope that the Temple trophy as well as the flag will be captured by the Haalonltes in which event there will be a display worthy of tbe double event. Are ball players trying the worn-out old trick which was supposed to belong- alone to actresses In order to advertise themselves, that is to have their diamonds Stolen? Truby, of the Toronto team, according to alt accounts, recently loet a large sum in Jewels and the latest victim Is Twirler Mason, of the Syracuse team.

The following dispatch sent out from that city explains all: "During the game at Star Park some one broke into tbe dressing-room and Jnto Mason's locker and stole a diamond pin belonging to Mace Mason, worth $100. The theft was discovered Immediately after the game. The locks on the outer door and locker door were broken. There was a large amount ot money In Mason's pocket, which waa not touched."

tie 1 In the middle West. It grieveJj him to admit that In this campaign the silver Democrats had no organisation, while the Republicans and tbe sound-money-Democrats are perfectly organised. "In North Carolina." said Chairman Butler, of the Populist National Committee to-day, "the Republicans and the sound-money Democrats mad the moat flattering offer for fusion on the electoral ticket, and In Louisiana and Texas they offered fusion on any terms might stipulate, but refused.
