Savannah is now at the head of the League, and
means to win the pennant. The club is now stronger
than it has been heretofore this season.
If New Orleans would increase the gnarantee to
visiting clubs she should be given Augusta's place.
New Orleans could put a great club ia the League

ArsrsTA, July 6.—Editor SPORTISG LIFE: —
The Augusta Baae Ball Club was disbanded last
night. The club realized about $1,000 from the
games at Charleston, and the players were all
paid in fall and released. Marr Phillips goes
to Charleston, Toy to Syracuse, N. Y.; Sylvester
to the Louisville Club, Sutcliffe to Savannah,
Manning to Chattanooga, and Holacher and
Re,ir ( lon 20 t" their homes. Just why the club
di-r
to-day in the city. They had
a~ .
fleld as any club in the League.
A!!:..-.. — .. . _. -3001 pitcher to alternate with
Holacher, aud thev would have beea in good condi
Men. At a meeting held by the stockholders some
weeks ago it was decided to get a good pitcher, bnt
they failed to get tho proper man and the people then
lost all interest in the flab. They wero constantly
ksing from day to day, with no prospect of strength­
ening, so they \7ouMn't patronize the gam~».

The Popularity of Base Ball.
Here are some figures consoling to the base
ball lover and also reinsuring for the croakers
who are continually apprehensive of the down­
fall of the National game. That base ball is
truly the "National" game rastly exceeding in
popularity any other sport now before the public,
ia shown by the attendance at the games played
on Independence Day. In each instance the
lowest count is given:

DETROIT, July 7.—Editor SPORTIXG LIFE:—
Again have the Xew York pitchers been merci­
lessly mauled by tho Wolverine sluggers. Keefe
and Welch hare cause to remember every game
they have thus far pitched at Recreation
Park. Forty-four bits were they sized up for on
their second painful visit to the Michigan metro­
polis. Mutrie sprouted a crop of gray hair dur­
ing the series. About 20,000 people saw the three
games, and two <mch exciting contests aa those
of the 5th were never before seen on the
grounds. In both of these games the New
Yorks, by a combination of errors and hitting,
secured a commanding lead, and in the ninth
were two ruru ahead of the Detroit?, and both
morning p.nd afternoon, when tha fatal ninth
arrived, the Detroita knocked tbe ball into a
cocked hat and earned tho games right there, while
the New Yorfc pitchers crawled off the fleld limp aul
discouraged. Tho game they won, while softening
their grief, was uot much real satisfaction to them.
Smith, our new pitcher from Maron, went in, and
being nervous and wild, the New Yorts had an easy
time of it. In addition tho D..la ragged
fielding game. But Mutrio '

For tho benefit of individuals who t*r-: npprehenslve

White larruped tho bnll on that eventful <tay. Seven
hits iu two ganu1*, driving in two ruun in the morning
and three In th? afternoon, IB a record that makes
Detroitera justly proud of their veteran third basemnn.
Tho cry of the New Yorks after three great victories
over Kansas City was:—''On to Detroitl" They now
think Detroit was on to them.
That little Kory from Macoo about Jim Manr.ing
going to Alacon is amusing. The idea of one of the

Southern League is ridiculous, .limojy will play

A Row with a Reporter—The Rumors About
a Change of Base, Etc.
NEWARK, N. J., July 8.—Editor SPORTING
LIFE:—As the boys are away this week every­
thing is quiet except at the bulletin boards; still
we have had some amusement, occasioned by a
triangular warfare in the papers between a re­
porter, two stockholders, Manager Hackett, the
players and anybody else who wanted. Owing
to the rule'dividing gate receipts on holidays
due notice was given that no tickets whatever
other than single admission tickets would be ac­
cepted at the gate on the 5th inst. As the tick­
ets called "season tickets" entitle the holder to
fifty admissions, and not for the season, this
would seem to be a perfectly fair and harmless
way of solving a difficult problem. A reporter (?),
who is very sore on Manager Hackett, en­
deavors to get square by charging him with illnsing the players, etc., and charged the players
with purposely losing the games; also that there
was a lack of harmony and good feeling in the club.
All thi-j the pl.-tyers emphatically denied in a card to
the public. After thi-i set-bark, and seeming to bluff
out * p. or lian-t, }Ii. U;porter hnnts up two Btockhold: i-'Sfty adrui.-sion ticket"and pubn* to the holiday rule, and ^Uo
_
; : n concerning the management of
tali cluis i'j general and the Newark Club in particu­
lar. It looks very much as if thd stockholders,
Messrs. Sommer and Ti impi, wero being used as w&s
the historical cat, white the geniua who opened the
ball figures as the monkey. At the present writing,
after reading Vice 1'resident Shoemaker's letter in the
press, it look! very much M it Mr. Summer had
burned his p:\ws and that Mr. Trimpi barely escapes
with his hide OD, and the monkey gets no chestnuts.
The club etill exists, however, and is playing ball
to win, aa is evident by tbe fact that the; have won
two games each from Jersey City and Bridgeport so
far this week.
Jersey City beat the record on itself Monday A. M.
in an exhibition of rowdjism seldom fqualled. Tho
Newark players had to be escorted from the ground,
and owiug to the delay occasioned were forced to
hire a special car to carry them to Newark in time for
the afternoon g^inc 3Ianager Powers or his men wero
in no way to bHme. Unfortunately for Jeisey City,
the v •:-' '
itronize the games, >nd they aimply a '
Uinj
i as been offered positions In both
the NtitioKil *i. 1 International Leaguo, hut will finish
with the Eastern Leaguo as per contract. Be is a
first class umpire,and would bean acquisition to tuo
Btafl of any League.
It wonil givo the average man a pain to read some
of the things written by the reporter above men­
tioned. It seems impossible to do anything to please
hia Dib*.
For iome years past the Trenton (Jersey City) Club
has been our Jonah, but the ease and grare with which
we 'do 'em up" this year Is enough to make "First
Base" howl, and, by the way, he does howl. Next lo
our own club, however, we wish them success, for their
manager Is a genial, whole-fouled little gentleman.
Captain Burns' wife accompanied him on tho last
trip.
Handsome Tommy Tucker continues bitting the ball
Coogan still Is "old rrliable John."
Kiiowlton is certainly giving great promise, and
with the same confidence at the bat that he show) in
the box would improve his base hit column.
Manager ramie, of Baltimore, has been to town,
and rumors tire as plentiful ss rcosquitos. We arc
golnfg iu the American Association, in the Leagne, to
Baltimore, to Washington, etc.; every League and
American Associa'ion club is to have at least two of
oar playeil. You will, however, find us all together
to the £a?tcrn League at the cud ot* the season.
Is there a would-be Pwh-Bnh lu the Eastern
Leajrue? If so, does be live in Connecticut or in Xew
JeMey? Do*1* he manage a Nutmei; club • r hail from
the Old Bay State? or 10 he a myth only assuming
shape in the fancies of a writer for the New York pa­
pers?
As no portion of our friend Dave Pierson has ar­
rived home its yet we presume he is a success as an
umpire iu the Inttr-State League.

SAS FRASCISCO, July 3.—Editor SPORTISG
LIFE:—Base ba'l has taken the lead of all other
sports here in popular favor and outdraws all
other attractions combined. Both our leagues
are doing famously well, and the president of
the California League informs me that from
present indications tbe league will clear >:;;0,OUtl
this season and may do even better. The busi­
ness-like way in which base ball is now con­
ducted here is largely responsible for the great
booirj. Base ball is now run systematically, as
in your great Leagues Kiist, the players are un­
der control and the games are played regularly
and on their merits. Ilippodroming is now un­
known.
Secretary Chase, California State Lcogue,9iys
that notwithstanding the current rumor that no
new faces will be seen among tho Eastern play­
ers on the diamond at Central Park this winter,
it la now assured th«t such great players as Dfnny,
McKinnor. ' ; i --«•,, ;.- »•.-! ..-her California favorites,
such as C
II and Fogaity, will, at
the end ui
retuiu to this city and
The League has forwarded to
elz,of the
St. Louis Maroonfl, a contract
r grounds
It the
throDgh the coming fall aod »MH.I
terms are accepted the Maroons will play at Central
Park. It is to be hoped that it will bo returned with
the signature of Manager Schmelx afllxed, for no other
club would create the interett in our national game
that the Maroons would, since its players are tho petrs
of any In the world.
Three fourteen-lnning games have already been
played on this coaet, and every one of them lost and
won on the diamond at Contra) Park.
Jack (Big) Smilli and hi) bicthor Hugh hav« been
releate'l by the California Htate Leaguo on account of
their having made an application to join the Al.imeda
League. That League doesn't want them, no they are
shelved.
The California S'&'.o League, at a special meeting
on tho 2Uth ult.. dotJded to adopt stringent rules to
govern the actioos of its players, and hereafter aoy
member violating them will be blacklisted and bo for­
ever eujoined from playing on any grouuda controlled
