FOUT7, AND HIS MEX EBBED IN BUNCHING THEIB LOSSES. Up to Date They Are Doing All That It Was Predicted They Would Do- The One Thing Needed News of the Week The Cycling Opening. BROOKLYN, July 12. EJitor SPORTING LIFE: The long range reports from the AVest have not been all that could be wished for here during the past week. We confidently expected Cin- cinnati to get down on its knees and be kicked in the neck, but instead old Porkopolis got up on its hied legs. This would not bother much, but some people hereabouts imagine that they have a first-class Simon pure grievance on hand. They expected better from Foutz and bis crew, but they decline to go into particu- lars. It id enuiigh tkat Ihey have a grievance and thia fact ID itself appear* to give them the solace they were cure of, had they not unearthed the afore-men- tioned grievance. THE MATTER ANALYZED. It ll rjot hard to dissect Ihn overgrown thing of their imagination. Go back a few weeks and ana- lyze their word* and you will discover that they were entirely amazed over the plucky work of our boys In the face of many difficulties, and began to be- llero that it was not m the province ol the Brooklyn team to loao more than one game a week, Later when the present Western sorted was opened they were a>touuded over the terrific manner iu which our koya slammed Chicago and Pittsburg. But when Cleveland was stril :k and we got > doje of thenitdi- cino we had been pouring down the throaU of others for several weeks, they began to droop and murmur: "Too bad." The Cincinnati games twisted their littio hearts frightfully, and the Louisville defeat of Sunday quite robbed them ol their palpitating prop- erty. SUGGESTED A 1ECTUR1?. Some people who follow base bull in the proper way aLd recognize, the influence of THE SPORTING LIFE in the profession are, 1 am iorry to say, amoutf the dis- gruntled (usually it Is only the flotsam and jetsam of a club's following tbttt kicks unjustly), and there are among these certain ones who thought that a lecture delivered from THE SPORTISO LIFE'S pulpit wouKi ke ju«t the thing to hustle the boys buck to the winning zoua. I had to agree with them In that and actually promised a few that I would "shoot a few arrows into the onnip" ns they suggested, with, however, the stipu- lation that they furnish tlio arrows. I insisted that Ihe arrows ke of sound stuff anj pointed with honest coinpltUut. I sought to impress up m them the fact that 1 was not an apologist for the team anil that I was ready at all time.* to deal out censure when cen- sure was due, but I Insisted on keing just, and again, of following the plan that a kindly word spoken to these who are faltering is much better than a kick. BUNCHING THEIR LOSSES. Alter almost an hour's vain effort at making "arrows," the disgruntle I element finally arrived at the conclusion that the only real fault that could ke found with Fontz and his men was that they were bunching their losses, which of course made the Bitn- ttion appear much worse than it really is. Before the team left for the Weat it was conceded on all sides that if they won one-half of the games they played they would return with a creditable record. Up to date they have about kept up this average, and were not for the fact that the boys started out with five Itraigbt victories and then followed it with an equal lumber of defeats, the pennle in general would not laveso much to s»y of "Brooklyn's fall." The con- tastsof games won and games lost was too pro- lounced for the average vl-iou, particularly as the »uie« lest came last. So you ate when the sitnatiou a summed properly the tact stares us in the face that Irooklvi.--,,, lg | ort , lue is j,, bunching it, i osaes.

PRESIDENT HAUT MAKES A VIR TUE OF NECESSITY And Gives up Pitcher Parrott to Cin- cinnati, in Accordance With the Decision of the National Board Parrott Now Makes a Kick. CHICAGO, July 11. Editor SPOHTIVO Lire: Despite President Hart's great effort to retain Tom Parrott, the Southern League pitcher, the decision of President Young had to be obeyed. Comiskey came to town last Wednesday sifter Parroti, and President Hart surrendered the man. In the little work P.irrott has done here he gave promise of developing into a first-class man. lie bats hard and timely, has good speed, but is ti little wild. Under Anson he might have turned out well. MOI'.E ABOUT THE CASE. Parrott himself is to blame for the mess into whioh ho got Chicago, Cincinnati and incident- ally the League. It appears that he aiuBortioa Manager Linnehan, of (he Biruiinehams, to se- cure bun a berth iu the III,; League at 8176 per month, offering to pay 525 commission. Linuehan, acting iu good faith, strucli a bargain wilh Cincinnati and bold his ivlt-ase for $500. Meanwhile Parrott tele- graphed Hart that he was free to S'gn anywhere and asked tor terms, Hart named something like $.00 per month. 1'arrott accepled and waa signed uuder the belief that he was, aa he slated, froo lo siifn. Parrott dcceiveil Chicago. Altei tlie COM had been |msst.d to Cincinnati be admitted that Linnehan act d under anunzema'as'tlie; h»ve been playing Lervy, fly ug kail, Ihe natural result is that Ihey top the col- nun Boston has keen favored, too, In this respect, wlile the Brooklyn players have suffered a succession of accidenls. At the present time the club is as badly criopled us ever.

AS THE LEAGUE MEETING, ook place in Atlanta, and a ChaltaLooim gentleman vas elected president, I presume lhat THE SPORTINO Lire correspondents in these cities will furnish full ccountsofthe transactions, and of the gentleman rho is to serve as the head of the Southern League, am aware, though, that there were several matters of niportance. such as protests, etc., that were never even onsiilered, much less disposed of. I only hope lhat he new executive is not a merchant, but a base ball man, well up in every detail of the work ai.ii require- ments of the pos tiou. Base ball ia a peculiar busi- ness anil cannot bo successfully operated like a bank, .re or factory. Only an experienced base ball man, jirouRhly acquainted with its intricacies and ai ti- cs, can pilot such a troublesome craft safely tlnotlKh a turbulent season to the huibor called success. I trust ur new president is such a man. LINE HITS. Bill Hassamer is able to play again after his painful accident.

The visitors lied the score in Ihe ninth inning, but could uot count after- tue eleventh the Dovors scored twice. instructions. Hart saw that he had bsen worsted, but as the National Board had not heard his side of the case be lofused to uive up the man. When convinced that Parrolt had acted iu bad faith be willingly gave the man up. PARROTT KICKING ON TERMS. It was supposed that i'nrrott had male the beet of the situation and gone to Cincinnati with Comiskey, but such is not the case, the m»u still being iu towu. He e^avt: "Cincinnati only wanted to pay me $175 a month. I was getting S:MJ from Chicago. Bather than play at Cincinnati's terms I will relurn to Washington, where I can eaiu $5 a night blowing a cornet. I aslied Lin- nehan to get me a job In the Southern League at 5175 a month, and said nothing about Ihe big Loigue. Just h-fora I came here I refused an offer of 82110 a nioiiih to play second base for Montgomery. Linnehan was uot authorized to act us he did, and I will not piny anywhere. If Cincinnati offers me Chicago's figures I will play there, otherwise uot." THE TRAM'S WORK. A moo's Colts are still near the tail end of the League procession. The team braced up lu the Now York seiies. llntchinson suddenly came into form and won a fine game. Then Maiick *i>n a game, and McGill, too, came around all ri<ht. July 3 llm Colls shut out Ihe Bostons, but on Ihe Fourth Ihev went to pieces, the Bean-eaters wiunlng both .jiimes. In the Philadelphia series, however, the team fell down again, as after winning the first game the Coirs pre- sented the Phillies with the other two. Yesterday thev captured a game from Ihe Washiuetoui, but to- day true to Iheir lo-and-oiit record, they bunded over Ibe game to the Senators. The team is batting heavilv, auil that is all lh*t can bo said t..r it, ai the fielding is loose, Ihe base-rnnniiiK poor aLd the pitch- ing unreliable. To ciown all there is » painful lack of ttani work and head work. MIXOK MENTION. It is rumored that Anson will pull stroke oar on the Viking ship when she arrives here. Chicago is a great deal like the Baltimore Club, but in another way. During tlie greater part of the sea- son Ihe Chicago) have played wiuniuu ball awav from home. At home, However, they cannot succeed. Ad Gnmbert made a grsat debut at Pituhurg Fri- day, shutting out tbo I)ostoD«. They all play well when they get awav fiom Anson. Unless the Chicago) ta«e a brace very soon they will bring up Ihe rear end of Ihe proce»«ion, as tin Lnulivilia are putting up a pretty stifl game at Anson Is thinking less and less of Wilmot every day He talks of playing Decker in left field. The City League ha» lout tho North Side park at Haleted and black hawk streets. The owner refused to rent bv the year and would not sell, the club leas- ing the grounds by the month. Auwn has released pitcher Shaw, about whom »o much ado was made. Uaucfc is Ansou's best find. towards the close of the contests. This . the tact that our only neoil is pitching talent aud it goes without the saying that the club will supply^ this wantat the earlioul opp irluuity. ""- ' ' is an evidence of Ibis fact.

UALTIMOUE, July 11. Editor Spoimna LIFE: We will not be enabled to see our pets of the emerald diamond until next week, the 17th, when Brooklyn comes d nvn to drop a few ;ames and afford an opportunity for Duve Ptiutz rind Tom Burns to "cuss" the umpire. The galled jades, or, rather, the gallic young- sters, only remain with us three d;iys, when ,hey fly off, not to return till August the onest. That seems tough, don't it? Tlie cranks want see the boys bud. They have been playin* g *od 11, and really winning ball, too, but the pitchers lave been hit hard. The lads have STOOD UP under the fnsllado in a way to open the eyes of veterans. Where is tlie veteran team that would not have shown svmptoins of discouragement when balls were day after day hit at them as though they came otfat a tangent Iroru a western cyclone? And yet hese youngsters take men things as a matter of course and gather up aud garner what hot shot they can, and make no excuses for those lhat tet awav. The luils are doing well, and rearing garlands of glory that commands the. respect of all around the ciicuit. Aud this is n it overetithusiosm either. After reaJiug last week's letter, a lady remarked: "Well, his is the Hist time I was ever told Ibere was bril- iai.cy and glory lu errors nud general commendation for not winninggaiiits. It reminds ulfl pardon the Imile of Dickens' circumlocution oltlce, an 1 tlie science of how-uot-to-do-it, and really, there must be SOME MERIT n a team that can excite such boundless enthusiasm. 1' 'ifoU. aiiain, Ihere is. It is the game they play, win or or it wouiii'Diniands admiration, and deserves it, too, this team, too, »ua mwnil u. There is harmony iu letters for all the vowels in n.wi, big II and cup tal haps some think that is an easy thint ..-,. 1>el._ auy club, but it is not. It is well enough in a . nin« team. It is easy there. You have heard iu con- necilon with every learn that bas won a pennant praises of the harmony tbat exists m the club and the cliiiu that it was one of the creates! (actors in the success. So it was, but Ihe harmony usually comes alier repeated successes. Wheu a club is on A WINNING STREAK all the players are good-humored and ready to overlook niisplays, simply because Ihey did not affect the result. There ij no particular merit in that. But to see harmony in a club that only has a small aver- age of viciori* s is another and a greater Ihiuz. Game after game is lost when Ihe players cannot help but eee their source from specific mlaplays. To keep silence at such times, or, even better still, to encourage to re- newed efforts to overcome such t..ult», is no easy mat- ter with 111" members ot a losing team. And yet the Orioles do it and by such lactics show what a leally great team It is. Harmony. Oh, yet; it is easy lo keep harmony when everything Is running smooth on a greased incline, but lot the lubricaut get worn i.ut and friction begin, and even some of these gr. at pen- nant winners break up into cliques and backbiters. Tho Orioles are not obliged to have THE INCENTIVE of success to nroduce haiinony. The boys are young and aiubilious, and while tach individual does l.ls best he is also generous enough to uive credit to his comrade at am:s for tlio mine endeavor. Harmony. Oh, yes, it is tosy enough in fair wcallier, but bow much more credit is due for a harmonium crew In foul limns? If a g mm is lost and the team Is dis- placed iu position it is almost natural for the men to say it was owing to bum third ba>e play, or a rocky centre field, or a ragged first, but the Orioles do noth- ing of the kind. When one has an off day the balance of the team encourage h.ni by just jumping ill wilh a few extra exerlions to offset the difficulty. That is all. There is uo kidding and backbiting and general demoralization. Some of this is owine to tho good sense of the youngsters, but a verir Ur^e part of It is duo to the consummate skill in "handling" by Ned Haulon. Ned is a great fiold marshal. He never »as uutrammeled »o thai he could show it belore. No.b- ing bucceeds like success, they say, and a team can MAKE OR BREAK the reputation of |:s munairer. Oh. well, that Is all right enough, but how al'out the manager who_euc- lameness In his gait. THF. CYCLING OPENING. The foundation for the cycling racing.craze that is sure to come iu tho near future was laid at Eastern Park on Thunday and Saturday hut. The spectators on both occasions »ere about equally divided between cycling cn!liu»la-tf and bine ball cranks. Your aver- age base hall fan is a blase sport who divides his tlmo between the national game, horse racing aud fightiug. The result of this wa» that they viewed the opening events with something of a sneer, and nodding to one another declared it tame. But when tho five milo racoon Thursday M.IH along an* was stubbornly fought by Berlo and Dorntgo for three miles they be- gan think it a good thing. On Saturday Harry Wheeler wou them all over In the ten-mile race, when, aftnrsmislilug a wheel, ho called for another and started olf again aud, and after [unking lip almost a half-mile lost, led the field one of Ihe prettiest and most exciting races on record and won nicely. Tliat race fixed cycling here as a permanent thing, and now the majority of our ba«e ball enthusiasts are like- wise cycling cranks.

Dear Sir:—As a reader of the popular pas- time, "base ball," recorded in your columns I have quite frequently observed it mentioned that such and suck a player ia under the weather from an attack of rheumatism. The following recipe for a rheumatic bitters and liniment has proved of wonderful efficacy in this painful and distressing complaint. Thinkinjt, perhaps, you would like to submit them to the thoughtful con- sideration of your numerous readers is my pre- dominant reason for thus troubling you with this comumnicaiion: KHEUMATIC BITTERS. One ounce Wahoo Barn, oue ounce Prickly-Ash Bark, oue ounce Balm Gilead Bud., quaiter ounce Blood Boot, .juarter ounce Golden Seal. Puur over tho above two cups ot boiling wa.er and let it steep well on back of »tuv», tbeu pour into a large two-quart bottle, herbs and all, and to this add one quart o.f Bje Whiskey. After taking tho above quart, pour upon the ingre- dients another pint of whiskey. One tablespooutul before eating three times a day. KHEUMATIC LINIMENT.

Editor SPORT- ING LIFE: After spending a delightful vaca- tion at Tybee, near SavannaU, Ga., I got here on the same day tho team commenced the second series, and of course taw the opening pame with New Orleans. In fact I have noted carefully the game Montgomery put up in all three of the games with New Orleans and I am confident that the pro>ent team is very much stronger than any that has as yet represented this city. THE HICOKGANIZED TEAM. In Stewart, Devinney and Clark we have three very excellent players, especially the two former. Not that I consider Clark a weak man by any means. He looks like a comer. Ho uses good judgment'" fielding and throws well, but at present is a Mule off In his balling. This may come to him, and if It does soon ne will be a mo=t valllab.e man. Slagle is doing good service. He throws a speedy ball, has control of his curves, a puzzling change ot pace, and fields his position excellently. Oue thing I like about Slagle Is his head work. Pitch- ing with him is something more than merely using strength and eiiduiauce. He sandwiches these with a g iod slice of sense aud judgment. It is needless to sav that be is quite »n acquisition. Cunninguam, of the Kansas City team, has bein signed to pitch. Twineham recommended him highly, and I feel sure that "Old Hoss" ought to know. I can't imagine bow I could have forgotten to mention Twineham, wheu speaking of the new players, but then "Old Hose" seems lo have been wilh us all the time, so quietly aud snugly has he Ingratiated hlmselt in the good graces ol our people. To say that he Is fielding his position finely is drawing It mildly. There is BO belter catcher anywhere than Tuinenain. lie swats the ball hard and with regulariiy, «nd U the picture of health and contentment. THE NEW SCIIKDULK. I have examined the new sch. dale carefully, "here »ro a few long Juuips that could have been saved and a different arrangement at the wiiiding-up ot the sea- son but it is to much bttler in every respect than Ihe one used la the first series that I shall not indulge ceeds without success? Ned Hnnlon does that. Why, just look at the man. He picked up a learn of yolilis; unknowns on his own judgment entirely, and lu the first purt of their first season has them plavlug tho prettiest ball on trie diamond 10-day, and all pullinu for the club In perfect harmony, with ouly a small averaxe of success in winning eamos. Is not lhat great generalship? There would bo no pnrtU'illar merit in wiuniug a peuuaut with a team composed of all THE STABS In the base ball Armament, but there Is considerable in keeping a team of light youngsters hanging on like grim life to the tail of the first division and holding thorn well iu baud for harmonious action. That's good work, lhat is. Baltinioreans appreciate such things ai this and aro proud of their crisp little te,.m and Us bil iitnt manager. But there is a promise of even better thiuxs in the victorv line when the Ori- oles come home on the 17th. There will be sweet re- venge, albeit a good-natured on', on some of the clubs that have heretofore had it pretty much their own way Just wait until that natural gas combination strike these ojster rocks. If they don't get their lixlils put out they will have to burn pretty dim. That team bas had a line racket with tlio Orioles, every gume having been contested ai. Pittsburg. There may be a change lu the iltualion at Union Park. ALBERT MOTT. SATISFACTORILY ARRANGED. Manager Faatz Now Has Easton's Team Made Up to Suit. EASTOX, Pa., July 10. Editor SI-ORTIMQ LIFE: _ AVe celebrated the glorious Fourth by two vic- tories over our old-time rivals from Allentown, tho morning garno resulting in our favor by a score of five to four, and the afternoon game four to two.., Both games were hard fought bat- tles and were greatly enjoyed by the 7500 peo- ple present.

Louisville Can Now Have Sunday Games The Steady Work of the Colonels. LouisviLLti, Ky., July 11. Editor Sronnxa LIFE: The gnoi deacons of Parkland were) treated to a series of yells from GOOD buse ball enthusiasts at ihe new Eclipfe Base bull Park Sunday afternoon la-t. It was the first Sunday game played this season and tho crnnks gave) vent to yells of approval that could be beard for miles around. As stated in THE SPORTISO LIFE recently, the Louisville ball park was situated in Parkland, a suburban town of Louisville. It is not more than 100 yards outside the city limits, but some time ago a few I'arklaud citizens conceived the idea that b^«e ball <.u Sunday was not exactly the proper thing. A mt-eliujc ol the town couucilwas called aud ail ordinance was passed proinhit'ng b.i&e ball on Sun- uay. A heavy penalty was fixe I, which would have be-n greatly iu excess of the receipts. Following this action the directors of the Louisville Club retaiutd ihv service- of lloo. Zach Puelps, attorney for the League. Mr. fhe.li>s went quietly to w<rk. ami on last Thursday uitflit. when the Louisville City Coun- cil iliet in joint s<'Ssi'>n, toe city limits were extended so as to include that part of ParklauJ occupied by the Louisville ball park. Tine turn proved extremely displeasing to the clll- &ens of I'arkbtnd, and on ihe subsequent ni/ht a mass meeting \vuscalled, at winch there were ten men and half a dozen t.O'S. There was h-ta of oratory and plans were sut'ffc'sted to prevent a game Irnni beiuc J.Uyt-d last Sunday. Two or three of the citiZ'US be* came anury. They said that the Snbbath should not be de-OLTated bv a base ball game if it was iu their power to prevent it. To accomplish Ibis they were prepared to tesort to any mean*, and if it became necessary they would whet their tomalianks, p'.liali their Catlinx guns, go to the paik ntinday and pre- pare for «ar. Wiser coun-e!, however, prevailed, and no blool was shed O'i last Sunday, except what was lost by the Brookl.vn pitchers. Another meeting ol citizeus was held on last Satur* day night, but nothing was done. Tk» Town Trustee* Were in seMsiou at the same t'me, but they refiisnd to make known tlio result of their d- liberations, claim- lu« that llu-y wi-re private. TbeTiutlees met again Sunday nioruini!, but failed lo acc>.nipl.sli anything They aro positive, however, thai llie ordinance tak- ing the ball park into the city of Louisville is illegal, and they will t^st the case in court, and if they lose will up] eal it, and also attack the constitutionality of Iho new charter of Louisville. The first slep in Ibis action will pm!:abl\ be taken this week. Meanwhile Ihe club is pla>in^ Sunday ball, and "Beer, cigars, lemonade!" is b-urd in the bleachers. The directors ar<' now endeavoring to have several games postpone.! autl played hero on Sundays. WORK. OF TUB HOME TEAHf.

The Champions Not Doing Well on the Koad A Team Change Local Offi- cials Sustained, Etc. BINGHAMTUN, N. Y., July 12. Edilor SPORT- ING LIFE: The Bingoes seem to have lost their grip on the toboggan slide and aro slipping downward with surprising rapidity. Out of eight games on their (rip Ihey have suoceoded in capturing only two, which has let them down from second place to fifth. This is not. so very encouraging to the local oranka. Hurd lucH and poor batting is the cause I attribute the downward slide to. The errors that uavo been made were at a time when they could h irdly have been more costly, and when a base hit wag needed it has not be.Mi forthcoming. Tlie bas.-ruu- i injr, while not upto what It ou-zlit to I.e. has boon an improvement on the work lu the foi* [art of tho sea- son. CONLEY KITED. The report'd release of Con! y has caused r.onsM^r- aMe surprise am.uiir the enthuvasts at h >ni" h«ro. The manayemeut have realized ror a lonir lini - that Ihe team inntt be strengthened at tho bat and thi-, I a;.piehend, is the reason, conple.l with ihe fact that Conley appreciates his lui-ffliiiency with the suck aud bits asked to go. that the minor has s'artoi. He h <fl proven a treat diaw.ni: card and Is a favoriie wilh the rooters and patrons of the game in general, chiefly through c aclnne. II" fields his position at well, if nut hct:er, than any other first baseniati in tho League, but he has no eyo tor Ihe ball. It is dl-fiiistii, s me- times to »ee bun reach for balls awav over his head, tbat aliv amateur would let KII by. When ho dues hit Ihe ball it is goni-rallya longfl, hit. He CID'I. bo de- pended on at a critital lime, and as a flist Imseinun ought lo be a pood nicker, It i« folly for tho tea.n to think of carrying him any l.muer. To be sure he has J"uegood work on Mm Coach line, verv much ujain-t the wishes of some playeis, umpires and criti . but halting will win games wh<-re coaching nevi-r will. A minor th.vt wis started through a lo'-al sheet to the effect that SlatUry anr! Knight were to be re- leased made the cranks stand on their heads and VuW vengeance against I're-ident Patten, Mana^t-r suij.b. and everybody connected with the twin. The rumor had for its foun atior, a remark of President Patteu hould. t is now one use a e rs sr nn self bK pointing out where Improvements could ro'ss bly have been made. Now If the attendance dor- Ing the second series will average the same as the first, I doubt if a siofle club will lose money. If th»y do, it will Debut* trifling amount There will to ttm effect thit both Slattery and lie glit iiiu.t brace up ou their batting. THE MANAGEMENT DEFENDED. I fail to see where llie local abeeis tleiivw any bene- fit from the conliuu"d attacks«n President I'at'i-n and Manager Smith. Neither are running lh» team for their own amiisem-nt or diversion, but are In nig to give Hiii|!haintou just as Rood ball an she will snp-ort. Simply because a team has a run of hard itii-k, jamcd by costly errors and poor hilling, is im reason whv the press should jump on the team and try to k-op it down. It i> just the time when it should rally to Its support and do all that lays in its power to help it up. Ball players appreciate th' fact ihat ills lor iheir.mn indivi'lual interest to place their team as np*r the front as possible and work 10 do it. Of cours-, there are exceptions to Ibis, but not so with the Bingos. Everything Is In unison. All the players are d.iili( all Ihey can lopull Ihe team out of the hole, and ask the proas and people to help them. This is Bin^hamton's second season wilh a profes- sional nine, alter a sl^ep of >orno years, and Ih-re Is no question but that the city can and wil support a team if the local press will «U,p naggine ti.ein. If they don't stop it, they will bury the uatl mal itime here to deep that it will not be resurrected very soon again. FOUL TIPS. On the return of the Bingos tho rrtce of a'mls'lon to ihe grand stand will be changed from fifteen to twenty-five cents. This charge is necessitated by the fall'OK off of attendance dining the irauies Briggs is telling his eye on the bull again in great shape, and ll: leifter we shall expect to see something besides a cipher opposite his name iu the base hit C°U anyone bad fears as to the ability of Manager Smith to play second base thev are oi.tirely K-.ne now. His work is far beyond the expectations of hit closest friends. It will surprise some of thn local cranks if thev will compare Laud's and Knight's baiting averages since they lelt home.

BROOKLYN BUDGET.FOUT7, AND HIS MEX EBBED IN

BUNCHING THEIB LOSSES.Up to Date They Are Doing All That

It Was Predicted They Would Do- The One Thing Needed News of the Week The Cycling Opening.BROOKLYN, July 12. EJitor SPORTING LIFE:

The long range reports from the AVest have not been all that could be wished for here during the past week. We confidently expected Cin­ cinnati to get down on its knees and be kicked in the neck, but instead old Porkopolis got up on its hied legs. This would not bother much, but some people hereabouts imagine that they have a first-class Simon pure grievance on hand. They expected better from Foutz and bis crew, but they decline to go into particu­ lars. It id enuiigh tkat Ihey have a grievance and thia fact ID itself appear* to give them the solace they were cure of, had they not unearthed the afore-men­ tioned grievance.

THE MATTER ANALYZED. It ll rjot hard to dissect Ihn overgrown thing of

their imagination. Go back a few weeks and ana­ lyze their word* and you will discover that they were entirely amazed over the plucky work of our boys In the face of many difficulties, and began to be- llero that it was not m the province ol the Brooklyn team to loao more than one game a week, Later when the present Western sorted was opened they were a>touuded over the terrific manner iu which our koya slammed Chicago and Pittsburg. But when Cleveland was stril :k and we got > doje of thenitdi- cino we had been pouring down the throaU of others for several weeks, they began to droop and murmur: "Too bad." The Cincinnati games twisted their littio hearts frightfully, and the Louisville defeat of Sunday quite robbed them ol their palpitating prop­ erty.

SUGGESTED A 1ECTUR1?.Some people who follow base bull in the proper way

aLd recognize, the influence of THE SPORTING LIFE in the profession are, 1 am iorry to say, amoutf the dis­ gruntled (usually it Is only the flotsam and jetsam of a club's following tbttt kicks unjustly), and there are among these certain ones who thought that a lecture delivered from THE SPORTISO LIFE'S pulpit wouKi ke ju«t the thing to hustle the boys buck to the winning zoua. I had to agree with them In that and actually promised a few that I would "shoot a few arrows into the onnip" ns they suggested, with, however, the stipu­ lation that they furnish tlio arrows. I insisted that Ihe arrows ke of sound stuff anj pointed with honest coinpltUut. I sought to impress up m them the fact that 1 was not an apologist for the team anil that I was ready at all time.* to deal out censure when cen­ sure was due, but I Insisted on keing just, and again, of following the plan that a kindly word spoken to these who are faltering is much better than a kick.

BUNCHING THEIR LOSSES.Alter almost an hour's vain effort at making

"arrows," the disgruntle I element finally arrived at the conclusion that the only real fault that could ke found with Fontz and his men was that they were bunching their losses, which of course made the Bitn- ttion appear much worse than it really is. Before the team left for the Weat it was conceded on all sides that if they won one-half of the games they played they would return with a creditable record. Up to date they have about kept up this average, and were not for the fact that the boys started out with five Itraigbt victories and then followed it with an equal lumber of defeats, the pennle in general would not laveso much to s»y of "Brooklyn's fall." The con- tastsof games won and games lost was too pro- lounced for the average vl-iou, particularly as the »uie« lest came last. So you ate when the sitnatiou a summed properly the tact stares us in the face that Irooklvi.--,,, lg |ort ,lue is j,, bunching it, iosaes.

CHICAGO GLEANINGS.PRESIDENT HAUT MAKES A VIR­

TUE OF NECESSITYAnd Gives up Pitcher Parrott to Cin­

cinnati, in Accordance With the Decision of the National Board Parrott Now Makes a Kick.CHICAGO, July 11. Editor SPOHTIVO Lire:

Despite President Hart's great effort to retain Tom Parrott, the Southern League pitcher, the decision of President Young had to be obeyed. Comiskey came to town last Wednesday sifter Parroti, and President Hart surrendered the man. In the little work P.irrott has done here he gave promise of developing into a first-class man. lie bats hard and timely, has good speed, but is ti little wild. Under Anson he might have turned out well.

MOI'.E ABOUT THE CASE.Parrott himself is to blame for the mess into

whioh ho got Chicago, Cincinnati and incident­ ally the League. It appears that he aiuBortioa Manager Linnehan, of (he Biruiinehams, to se­ cure bun a berth iu the III,; League at 8176 per month, offering to pay 525 commission. Linuehan, acting iu good faith, strucli a bargain wilh Cincinnati and bold his ivlt-ase for $500. Meanwhile Parrott tele­ graphed Hart that he was free to S'gn anywhere and asked tor terms, Hart named something like $.00 per month. 1'arrott accepled and waa signed uuder the belief that he was, aa he slated, froo lo siifn. Parrott dcceiveil Chicago. Altei tlie COM had been |msst.d

to Cincinnati be admitted that Linnehan act d under

anunzema'as'tlie; h»ve been playing Lervy, fly ug kail, Ihe natural result is that Ihey top the col- nun Boston has keen favored, too, In this respect,wlile the Brooklyn players have suffered a succession of accidenls. At the present time the club is as badly criopled us ever. There is Burn., hud uo with a bad lei- Uriffin, wilh an injum to the ankle; Con Dailey. wlt'has'mashed flnger; L ivett, with a ^similarjnjury;

AS THE LEAGUE MEETING, ook place in Atlanta, and a ChaltaLooim gentleman vas elected president, I presume lhat THE SPORTINO Lire correspondents in these cities will furnish full ccountsofthe transactions, and of the gentleman rho is to serve as the head of the Southern League, am aware, though, that there were several matters of

niportance. such as protests, etc., that were never even onsiilered, much less disposed of. I only hope lhat he new executive is not a merchant, but a base ball

man, well up in every detail of the work ai.ii require­ ments of the pos tiou. Base ball ia a peculiar busi­ ness anil cannot bo successfully operated like a bank,

PARROTT KICKING ON TERMS. It was supposed that i'nrrott had male the beet of

"Cincinnati only wanted to pay me $175 a month. I was getting S:MJ from Chicago. Bather than play at Cincinnati's terms I will relurn to Washington, where I can eaiu $5 a night blowing a cornet. I aslied Lin­ nehan to get me a job In the Southern League at 5175 a month, and said nothing about Ihe big Loigue.

We will not be enabled to see our pets of the emerald diamond until next week, the 17th, when Brooklyn comes d nvn to drop a few ;ames and afford an opportunity for Duve Ptiutz rind Tom Burns to "cuss" the umpire. The galled jades, or, rather, the gallic young­ sters, only remain with us three d;iys, when ,hey fly off, not to return till August the onest. That seems tough, don't it? Tlie cranks want

see the boys bud. They have been playin* g *od 11, and really winning ball, too, but the pitchers

lave been hit hard. The lads haveSTOOD UP

under the fnsllado in a way to open the eyes of veterans. Where is tlie veteran team that would not have shown svmptoins of discouragement when balls were day after day hit at them as though they came otfat a tangent Iroru a western cyclone? And yet hese youngsters take men things as a matter of

course and gather up aud garner what hot shot they can, and make no excuses for those lhat tet awav. The luils are doing well, and rearing garlands of glory that commands the. respect of all around the ciicuit. Aud this is n it overetithusiosm either. After reaJiug last week's letter, a lady remarked: "Well, his is the Hist time I was ever told Ibere was bril- iai.cy and glory lu errors nud general commendation for not winninggaiiits. It reminds ulfl pardon the Imile of Dickens' circumlocution oltlce, an 1 tlie

science of how-uot-to-do-it, and really, there must beSOME MERIT

n a team that can excite such boundless enthusiasm.1' 'ifoU. aiiain, Ihere is. It is the game they play, win or or it wouiii'Diniands admiration, and deserves it, too, this team, too, »ua mwnil u. There is harmony iu letters for all the vowels in n.wi, big II and cup tal haps some think that is an easy thint ..-,. 1>el._ auy club, but it is not. It is well enough in a . nin« team. It is easy there. You have heard iu con- necilon with every learn that bas won a pennant praises of the harmony tbat exists m the club and the cliiiu that it was one of the creates! (actors in the success. So it was, but Ihe harmony usually comes alier repeated successes. Wheu a club is on

A WINNING STREAKall the players are good-humored and ready to overlook niisplays, simply because Ihey did not affect the result. There ij no particular merit in that. But to see harmony in a club that only has a small aver­ age of viciori* s is another and a greater Ihiuz. Game after game is lost when Ihe players cannot help but eee their source from specific mlaplays. To keep silence at such times, or, even better still, to encourage to re­ newed efforts to overcome such t..ult», is no easy mat­ ter with 111" members ot a losing team. And yet the Orioles do it and by such lactics show what a leally great team It is. Harmony. Oh, yet; it is easy lo keep harmony when everything Is running smooth on a greased incline, but lot the lubricaut get worn i.ut and friction begin, and even some of these gr. at pen­ nant winners break up into cliques and backbiters. Tho Orioles are not obliged to have

THE INCENTIVEof success to nroduce haiinony. The boys are young and aiubilious, and while tach individual does l.ls best he is also generous enough to uive credit to his comrade at am:s for tlio mine endeavor. Harmony. Oh, yes, it is tosy enough in fair wcallier, but bow much more credit is due for a harmonium crew In foul limns? If a g mm is lost and the team Is dis­ placed iu position it is almost natural for the men to say it was owing to bum third ba>e play, or a rocky centre field, or a ragged first, but the Orioles do noth­ ing of the kind. When one has an off day the balance of the team encourage h.ni by just jumping ill wilh a few extra exerlions to offset the difficulty. That is all. There is uo kidding and backbiting and general demoralization. Some of this is owine to tho good sense of the youngsters, but a verir Ur^e part of It is duo to the consummate skill in "handling" by Ned Haulon. Ned is a great fiold marshal. He never »as uutrammeled »o thai he could show it belore. No.b- ing bucceeds like success, they say, and a team can

The foundation for the cycling racing.craze that is sure to come iu tho near future was laid at Eastern Park on Thunday and Saturday hut. The spectators on both occasions »ere about equally divided between cycling cn!liu»la-tf and bine ball cranks. Your aver­ age base hall fan is a blase sport who divides his tlmo between the national game, horse racing aud fightiug. The result of this wa» that they viewed the opening events with something of a sneer, and nodding to one another declared it tame. But when tho five milo racoon Thursday M.IH along an* was stubbornly fought by Berlo and Dorntgo for three miles they be­ gan think it a good thing. On Saturday Harry Wheeler wou them all over In the ten-mile race, when, aftnrsmislilug a wheel, ho called for another and started olf again aud, and after [unking lip almost a half-mile lost, led the field one of Ihe prettiest and most exciting races on record and won nicely. Tliat race fixed cycling here as a permanent thing, and now the majority of our ba«e ball enthusiasts are like­ wise cycling cranks. President Bvrne cannot say enough lu predicting great wheeling days to come.

The following recipe for a rheumatic bitters and liniment has proved of wonderful efficacy in this painful and distressing complaint. Thinkinjt, perhaps, you would like to submit them to the thoughtful con­ sideration of your numerous readers is my pre­ dominant reason for thus troubling you with this comumnicaiion:

MONTGOMERY STRENGTHENED.The Infield Changed and Pitcher Cun-

iiiiiifliain Signed The New Schedule and Other League Blatters Com­ mented Upon.MONTOOIIERY, Ala., July 9. Editor SPORT­

ING LIFE: After spending a delightful vaca­ tion at Tybee, near SavannaU, Ga., I got here on the same day tho team commenced the second series, and of course taw the opening pame with New Orleans. In fact I have noted carefully the game Montgomery put up in all three of the games with New Orleans and I am confident that the pro>ent team is very much stronger than any that has as yet represented this city.

THE HICOKGANIZED TEAM. In Stewart, Devinney and Clark we have

three very excellent players, especially the two former. Not that I consider Clark a weak man by any means. He looks like a comer. Ho uses good judgment'" fielding and throws well, but at present is a Mule off In his balling. This may come to him, and if It does soon ne will be a mo=t valllab.e man. Slagle is doing good service. He throws a speedy ball, has control of his curves, a puzzling change ot pace, and fields his position excellently. Oue thing I like about Slagle Is his head work. Pitch­ ing with him is something more than merely using strength and eiiduiauce. He sandwiches these with a g iod slice of sense aud judgment. It is needless to sav that be is quite »n acquisition.

Cunninguam, of the Kansas City team, has bein signed to pitch. Twineham recommended him highly, and I feel sure that "Old Hoss" ought to know. I can't imagine bow I could have forgotten to mention Twineham, wheu speaking of the new players, but then "Old Hose" seems lo have been wilh us all the time, so quietly aud snugly has he Ingratiated hlmselt in the good graces ol our people. To say that he Is fielding his position finely is drawing It mildly. There is BO belter catcher anywhere than Tuinenain. lie swats the ball hard and with regulariiy, «nd U the picture of health and contentment.

THE NEW SCIIKDULK.I have examined the new sch. dale carefully, "here

»ro a few long Juuips that could have been saved and a different arrangement at the wiiiding-up ot the sea­ son but it is to much bttler in every respect than Ihe one used la the first series that I shall not indulge

ceeds without success? Ned Hnnlon does that. Why, just look at the man. He picked up a learn of yolilis; unknowns on his own judgment entirely, and lu the first purt of their first season has them plavlug tho prettiest ball on trie diamond 10-day, and all pullinu for the club In perfect harmony, with ouly a small averaxe of success in winning eamos. Is not lhat great generalship? There would bo no pnrtU'illar merit in wiuniug a peuuaut with a team composed of all

THE STABSIn the base ball Armament, but there Is considerable in keeping a team of light youngsters hanging on like grim life to the tail of the first division and holding thorn well iu baud for harmonious action. That's good work, lhat is. Baltinioreans appreciate such things ai this and aro proud of their crisp little te,.m and Us bil iitnt manager. But there is a promise of even better thiuxs in the victorv line when the Ori­ oles come home on the 17th. There will be sweet re­ venge, albeit a good-natured on', on some of the clubs that have heretofore had it pretty much their own way Just wait until that natural gas combination strike these ojster rocks. If they don't get their lixlils put out they will have to burn pretty dim. That team bas had a line racket with tlio Orioles, every gume having been contested ai. Pittsburg. There may be a change lu the iltualion at Union Park.

They Are Now Asking Themselves "Where Are We At?" Louisville Can Now Have Sunday Games The Steady Work of the Colonels.LouisviLLti, Ky., July 11. Editor Sronnxa

LIFE: The gnoi deacons of Parkland were) treated to a series of yells from GOOD buse ball enthusiasts at ihe new Eclipfe Base bull Park Sunday afternoon la-t. It was the first Sunday game played this season and tho crnnks gave) vent to yells of approval that could be beard for miles around.

As stated in THE SPORTISO LIFE recently, the Louisville ball park was situated in Parkland, a suburban town of Louisville. It is not more than 100 yards outside the city limits, but sometime ago a few I'arklaud citizens conceived the idea that b^«e ball <.u Sunday was not exactly the proper thing. A mt-eliujc ol the town couucilwas called aud ail ordinance was passed proinhit'ng b.i&e ball on Sun- uay. A heavy penalty was fixe I, which would have be-n greatly iu excess of the receipts. Following this action the directors of the Louisville Club retaiutd ihv service- of lloo. Zach Puelps, attorney for the League. Mr. fhe.li>s went quietly to w<rk. ami on last Thursday uitflit. when the Louisville City Coun­ cil iliet in joint s<'Ssi'>n, toe city limits were extended so as to include that part of ParklauJ occupied by the Louisville ball park.

Tine turn proved extremely displeasing to the clll- &ens of I'arkbtnd, and on ihe subsequent ni/ht a mass meeting \vuscalled, at winch there were ten men and half a dozen t.O'S. There was h-ta of oratory and plans were sut'ffc'sted to prevent a game Irnni beiuc J.Uyt-d last Sunday. Two or three of the citiZ'US be* came anury. They said that the Snbbath should not be de-OLTated bv a base ball game if it was iu their power to prevent it. To accomplish Ibis they were prepared to tesort to any mean*, and if it became necessary they would whet their tomalianks, p'.liali their Catlinx guns, go to the paik ntinday and pre­ pare for «ar. Wiser coun-e!, however, prevailed, and no blool was shed O'i last Sunday, except what was lost by the Brookl.vn pitchers.

Another meeting ol citizeus was held on last Satur* day night, but nothing was done. Tk» Town Trustee* Were in seMsiou at the same t'me, but they refiisnd to make known tlio result of their d- liberations, claim- lu« that llu-y wi-re private. TbeTiutlees met again Sunday nioruini!, but failed lo acc>.nipl.sli anything They aro positive, however, thai llie ordinance tak­ ing the ball park into the city of Louisville is illegal, and they will t^st the case in court, and if they lose will up] eal it, and also attack the constitutionality of Iho new charter of Louisville. The first slep in Ibis action will pm!:abl\ be taken this week. Meanwhile Ihe club is pla>in^ Sunday ball, and "Beer, cigars, lemonade!" is b-urd in the bleachers.

Koad A Team Change Local Offi­ cials Sustained, Etc.BINGHAMTUN, N. Y., July 12. Edilor SPORT­

ING LIFE: The Bingoes seem to have lost their grip on the toboggan slide and aro slipping downward with surprising rapidity. Out of eight games on their (rip Ihey have suoceoded in capturing only two, which has let them down from second place to fifth. This is not. so very encouraging to the local oranka. Hurd lucH and poor batting is the cause I attribute the downward slide to. The errors that uavo been made were at a time when they could h irdly have been more costly, and when a base hit wag needed it has not be.Mi forthcoming. Tlie bas.-ruu- i injr, while not upto what It ou-zlit to I.e. has boon an improvement on the work lu the foi* [art of tho sea­ son.

CONLEY KITED.The report'd release of Con! y has caused r.onsM^r-

aMe surprise am.uiir the enthuvasts at h >ni" h«ro. The manayemeut have realized ror a lonir lini - that Ihe team inntt be strengthened at tho bat and thi-, I a;.piehend, is the reason, conple.l with ihe fact that Conley appreciates his lui-ffliiiency with the suck aud bits asked to go. that the minor has s'artoi. He h <fl proven a treat diaw.ni: card and Is a favoriie wilh the rooters and patrons of the game in general, chiefly through c aclnne. II" fields his position at well, if nut hct:er, than any other first baseniati in tho League, but he has no eyo tor Ihe ball. It is dl-fiiistii, s me- times to »ee bun reach for balls awav over his head, tbat aliv amateur would let KII by. When ho dues hit Ihe ball it is goni-rallya longfl, hit. He CID'I. bo de­ pended on at a critital lime, and as a flist Imseinun ought lo be a pood nicker, It i« folly for tho tea.n to think of carrying him any l.muer. To be sure he has J"uegood work on Mm Coach line, verv much ujain-t the wishes of some playeis, umpires and criti . but halting will win games wh<-re coaching nevi-r will.

A minor th.vt wis started through a lo'-al sheet to the effect that SlatUry anr! Knight were to be re­ leased made the cranks stand on their heads and VuW vengeance against I're-ident Patten, Mana^t-r suij.b. and everybody connected with the twin. The rumor had for its foun atior, a remark of President Patteu

hould. t is now

one use a e rs srnn self bK pointing out where Improvements could ro'ss bly have been made. Now If the attendance dor- Ing the second series will average the same as the first, I doubt if a siofle club will lose money. If th»y do, it will Debut* trifling amount There will

to ttm effect thit both Slattery and lie glit iiiu.t brace up ou their batting.

THE MANAGEMENT DEFENDED. I fail to see where llie local abeeis tleiivw any bene­

fit from the conliuu"d attacks«n President I'at'i-n and Manager Smith. Neither are running lh» team for their own amiisem-nt or diversion, but are In nig to give Hiii|!haintou just as Rood ball an she will snp-ort. Simply because a team has a run of hard itii-k, jamcd by costly errors and poor hilling, is im reason whv the press should jump on the team and try to k-op it down. It i> just the time when it should rally to Its support and do all that lays in its power to help it up. Ball players appreciate th' fact ihat ills lor iheir.mn indivi'lual interest to place their team as np*r the front as possible and work 10 do it. Of cours-, there are exceptions to Ibis, but not so with the Bingos. Everything Is In unison. All the players are d.iili( all Ihey can lopull Ihe team out of the hole, and ask the proas and people to help them.This is Bin^hamton's second season wilh a profes­ sional nine, alter a sl^ep of >orno years, and Ih-re Is no question but that the city can and wil support a team if the local press will «U,p naggine ti.ein. If they don't stop it, they will bury the uatl mal itime here to deep that it will not be resurrected very soon again.

FOUL TIPS.On the return of the Bingos tho rrtce of a'mls'lon

to ihe grand stand will be changed from fifteen to twenty-five cents. This charge is necessitated by the fall'OK off of attendance dining the irauies

Briggs is telling his eye on the bull again in great shape, and ll: leifter we shall expect to see something besides a cipher opposite his name iu the base hit

C°U anyone bad fears as to the ability of Manager Smith to play second base thev are oi.tirely K-.ne now. His work is far beyond the expectations of hit closest friends.

It will surprise some of thn local cranks if thev will compare Laud's and Knight's baiting averages since they lelt home. Il hardly seelm possible that Sjuap could beat Old Beliable Joe, but such is the fact.
