TUev ought to sign Burn- ham also. Geiss, the new Chicago pitcher, is nearly six teet in height. He is a promisinj: young twirler. It is rumored that if Hudson signs with the St. Louis Browns King will be released to Cleveland.

It will be some time before the excitement in New A'ork over the Giants' defeat of Detroit subsides. If umpires were as particular with other pitchers as they are with Galvin there would be some poor pitching done. It seems that Tony Mullane will soon be in the box again for the Cincinnati team, as he is to join the club at Philadelphia. Von der Abe denies the story that he is about to release two of the Browns in order to strengthen other association clubs. Judging from the miserable playing of the Indianapolis team it seems that the enmity between the players and Manager Burnham is getting stronger.

Buruham, doubtlessly has disheartened the entire team. President Nimick says that the presence of President Stearns, President Spalding, President Day and himself in New York at one time was not in consequence of base ball business. He never saw Spalding when in that city. A contemporary states that Manager Phillips is very unpopular with the members of the Pittsburgh Ball Cluh. President Nimick denies this emphatically and says that nothing but personal animosity would prompt anyone to start such a rumor.

New A'ork. May 27. The races at Gra vesend. meeting ta-ay wer, nninter week ago the club tied with the Chicago for fifth place; to-day it in clear, entirely clear of the champions. This shows that if the local team has not been doing well a few others have been doing worse.

The weeK nas developed some surprises not the least is the war in which Mark Baldwin, of the South Side, has shown up with the Chioaos. He has' pitched ndmirablv. and sonarelv downed the Bostons in a brilliant game. His work proves that even the predictions of such men as Spalding and Anson are not to be relied on. They not long ago classed him among the failures of the season.

This week he has been the stronghold of the club. If he maintains the form that he is now in he will be a dangerous man for any team to face. The Detroits have been surprisingly checked in their triumphant march. They have been defeated once by the Washing-tons and once by the New Yorks. This leads many to believe that they cease to be the terrors that they have been.

Their terrific batting has fallen oft" considerably during the week and enthusiasts of the national game are beginning to think that they are only human alter all. A first-class pitcher doing good work can puzzle them as well as less prominent players. Keete certainly defeated them in spiteof themselves. However, they are a dangerous lot, and still look like winners. One of the everts of the week has been the disappearance ot "that man Henale" as an umpire.

A man utterly unable to decide on the first principles of the game is not wanted as an umpire. President Young thinks this and acts accordingly. Following is the standing of the clubs up to date: JVr I JVr Won. Loit. Cent Won.

Lou sn 4 Pittsburgh 9 12 Boston 16 7 10 14 New York. 14 10 .53 Wash-nton 7 14 .83,1 Phila'phia 11 14 5 20 .200 "Who will win Mouday's boat race?" is a question that has been asked hundreds of local sporting circles during the week. Gandaur has a host of friends in Pittsburgh and Haitian has probably less than he has ever had in this city during any of his big races. This "seems strange to old followers of acquatics. The younger generation pin their faiih to Gaudaur because of his quick records; also, because Teemer defeated Hanlan and Gaudaur defeated Teemer.

The fast time notion of judging the abilities of a sculler is a very misleading one, aud speculators on Monday's race should not forget the fact. Two or three illustrations can be given to show what a poor method it is. Beach, the Australian, defeated Gaudaur on the Thames in 21:20, being the fastest record in a championship race. Such a commonplace rower as Charley Briuht-well, the Englishman, however, covered the same distance in 21:13. Teemer defeated Hanlan in 21:13, but Gaudaur beat Teemer iu 21:20.

Dozens of instances can be given showing that second and third rate rowers have made much better time than first-class men. No one think of. matching Bright well against Beach, yet the former has the best record as far as time is concerned. Fred Plaisted's great maxim has always been: "Give me a man who will row the distance." If Hanlan can stay the three miles on Monday he will defeat Gaudaur. The latter has speed, but Hanlan has also speed and stamina, at least he had both.

He stated on Thursday that he was rowing as strong as he ever Ld and is confident of victory. lie-sides, his trainer, George Bubear, the English champion, knows exactly what Bea cau do, and, thereby, ought to have a good measure of Gaudanr's abilities, as the latter rowed the best race of his life when defeated by the Australian. Gaudaur is almost sure to secure a lead in the early part of the race, but he will have to put on all possible steam to do it. This ill tend to break him up. If he does not take the lead in the first mile Hanlan's speed and staying qualities will probably land him a winner.

ITCOBMICK'S I'ISST VICTORY. The Pittsburghs Defeat the Senators in an Exciting Game. Washisgtox, May 27. The Pittsburgh team defeated the Washingtons a highly exciting and interesting game here to-day through opportune batting and daring base running. The fielding of the home team, while it excelled that of the visitors, "was not as steady, their only error, that by Farrell, cost three runs.

The feature of the game was Kuehne's exhibition at short. Out of 12 chances he accepted 11, some of them being very ditii-cult. The visitors won the game in the ninth inning on a single by Brown, who stole second and scored on Dalrymple's hit. Schock'8 batting was one of the features. Score: WASH.

Comment on Monday's Great Sculling Race. XOBHICK SCORES HIS FIRST YICTORY Good Racing at Latonia The Brooklyn Meeting Yesterday's Ball Games. Snorting Events Here and Elsewhere. VW. Nimick, president of the Pittsburgh Ball Cluh, returned home yesterday ftoBl Washington, and had much to say about the club.

He prefaced a long state ment hy expressing his indignation at the many false reports circulated about himself and the players. His version of the state of a flairs simplifies nyitters considera bly to mose vrno are not too SKepncai. "Sow let me tell you honestly," he said to the writer, "that during my absence from home I have only been interviewed by. a reporter once, On tliat oc casion I told my interviewer that there was no trouble whatever among the players of the Pittsburgh club. The re port published in a Pittsburgh paper that I was drinking cock-tails and talking about dissensions in our club may have been an eflort to be funny; but it certainly was false.

"With the exception of Morris, there is no ill-feeling between the players and IManagy Phillips. Barkley, at his own request, was sent home because of his injured fingar. The club is, indeed, play ing good ball and so are the Eastern clubs, New York particularly is playing exceed ingly strong. I am fully convinced that a streek of hard luck has so fer marred tory in several onr chances of via earnes that resulted against us. McCormick is in no condition to pitch, but he will make a remarkable record before the season ends.

I think that we would certainly have won yesterday's game at Washington had rain not inte r-fered. Shaw pitches a slow ball and our boys have been nsed with a speedy one. They were just sizing him up admirably when the storm came. I have every confidence in the team. The clnb is undoubtedly playing better than ever a Pittsburgh club has done before.

I regret that one or two persons should make it their business to try and draw public censure upon the players and the management. It is not fair and there is no reason tor doing it." "When further questioned about the efficiency of Manager Phillips Mr. Himick, with great emphasis, said: "I think that we have one of the ablest managers in the country. There are many people who criticise the work of a base ball club manager who don't know anything at all about the business. Recently I hav received several letters, mostly anonymous, pointing out to me the inability of Mr Phillips as manager of the club.

Two of the letters were particularly strong in their language. One or two newspapers have also published ungenerous things on the question. Now all this shows that the writers know little or nothing about the matter. I ask any one who knows anything about base ball at all to scan every club in the country and point me out Phillips' superior. If a better man can be brought to me, most assuredly I will sign him." The president's statement is certainly very pointed and was conscientiously giver.

He has much reason to speak well of as the latter took the club in hand when it was something like a financial wreck, and now it is a profitable investment. To a great extent this success is attributable to the business qualities of Manager Phillips. The public, however.are disappointed when defeats come thick and fast, and as disappointed people they must have a The manager invariably is the unfortunate man. It is not so much his honesty that is questioned as it is his judgment in placing players. It is on this point alone that a number of local base ball patrons have found fault with Manager Phillips.

The public, without doubt, have a right for opinion on the matter as their support of a club alone maintains its existence. Already it has been pointed out in these columns that the appointment of Smith as captain of the team has not turned out to be a successful one. There are good reasons for this conclusion. The fact, however, is stated in good spirit and is not meant to convey any reflections on the management of Horace Phillips. His judgment has been gained by a long experience and ought not to be lightly dealt with.

It is still the opinion or good judges of the game that Fields ought to be tried at the first opportunity. These suggestions will remain forcible until tangible reasons to the contrary can be presented. Until this is done the public certainly will grumble, and the grumblings will increase at each defeat and will develope into powerful censure. It may be true, as President Nimick ays, that there is no trouble among the players. Doubtless, the president implicitly believes the truth of his own statement; but there is more than meets the eye.

There is more than one discontented player in the team. The discontent may have subsided during the last few days; but it is smouldering still. It is natural that Morris should not be on the best of terms with Phillips. The "Hustler" has been compelled to bring Edward to time more than, once and a disciplined young man is never satisfied. There is only one fault to rind with Phillips in the Morris affair, and that is, Morris should have been disciplined long ago.

Two or three promising players have been released from the club so as to sever Morris from a "carousing com pan-lonship." This mild method of trying to subdue recklessness seems only to have made Morris' foibles more prolific. Umpire Powers gave a decision in the called game at Washington on Thursday that opens up a wide controversy, and may possibly be one more objection toward bringing the new rules into disrepute. A "balk" was called on Galvin because the latter merely shrugged his shoulders. Jimmy was standing in the box with the ball in both hands in front of him. A man was on first and Galvin shrugged his shoulders at the same time keeping the ball in front ot him.

It is difficult to discover how a balk can be possible when a pitcher has his bands clasped and holding them straight out toward the plate. Powers has not been anything like a friend to the Pittsburghs, but if he can manage to stretch' the new rules so as to call a balk because a pitcher nhrngs his shoul-ers any motion at all will be defined to mean the same thing. The line must be drawn against coughing because it will not be easy for pitchers to cough aud not move his shoulders and arms also. Amid all grumblings the Pittsbnrghs stand in a better position in the championship race to-day than they did last batuxday. There is not much difference, was presented with a handsome medal by his local admirers when he tirst came to the bat.

Time Two hours. Umpire Quest. ASSOCIATION GAMES. Cincinnati Disgust a Small Crowd Spectators by Bad Playing. of Cincinnati, May 27.

The Cincinnatis gave the worst exhibition of ball playing that has been seen on the grounds this year. The Zanesville phenomeual, AVat- son, pitched a fair game but was misera bly supported by Baldwin. lenneley, at short, was decidedly off. The Athletics secured most of their runs on bunchid errors. Roseman's center field play was splendid, the game was witnessed bv about 800 people, one third of whom left the grounds before the contest was over.

Brilliant, fielding and pretty hitting on both sides, and magnificent base running on the champions' part, contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the game. Caruthers pitched admirably, his effectiveness being especially strong when the bases were tilled. Boyle caught beautifully. Sylvester covered himself with glory in his work at left. He not only made several marvellous running catches, but he shut off two runs at the home plate on his fine throwing.

Lynch pitched excellently, but was not as fortunate as Caruthers. Dave Orr's wild throw was the Mets' only error, but it cost one run. Score: St. 0020001206 0000010001 Earned runs St. Louis, 4: Mets, 1.

New York, May 27 The clouds of dust raised by laborers who have been de molishing the old buildings at Broadway, Exchange place and New street, where the new Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Exchange is to stand, gaVe place yesterday to the exasperating banging ot a huge pile driver. Loungers in Broner Frank bavin office, opposite on ew street, were BneculatiDsr on the weight of tho Iron liammer when Savin came in and heard them.

It mav be that some false friend, or, perhaps, the enemy of mankind, whispered in Savin's ear that achance had arrived to play a little joke and do a little business. Savin slipped out of his office, walked a few rods down the street and, tackling cneof the workmen, asked the weight of tho hammer. He was told that it was about 1,100 pounds. Pruned with tins information, Mr. Savin returned to his office and said: "Bovs, let's make a pool on the weight of the hammer.

Each one throw in $10 for a guess, the man coming nearest the mark to take the pot." A pool of $50 was made, some of the estimates being 2,200 and 2,300 pounds. Mr. Savin's estimate was 1,100 pounds, and in addition he bet $50, the amount of the pool, that his estimate was the nearest to the actual weight. i A committee of two was appointed to ask the boss pile driver the correct weight, and as they crossed the street, Mr. Savin remained with the others serene and calm and assured of victory.

The committee returned with a slip containing the weight of the hammer. It was 2,500 pounds. i THE BJ3UNITED TEMPLARS. Election and Installation of Officers by the Grand Lodge. Saratoga, 'X.
