The Record. 'The Cleveland team is not having an easy

time iu the West, anil, as Boston is playing desperately to cK.se the gap, the Forest City lads have lost, a little ground. The probabil ity now is that the Clevelands will have to staud a punishing finish, but the remainder ot the season is so short that only phenom enal work by Bostom aud a big let-down by Cleveland can lose the latter the seeonii-

•ason pennant. Meantime the struggle for the other places is as close and interesting as ever. Brooklyn has collared Pittsburc and is now prepared to dispute Boston's title to second plitce. New York, too, has made itetuly progress, and is now a tie with Cincin nati for sixth place. Chicago and Philadel phia have lost ground and seem destined to •wind tip in tlu-bccond division. The four ex- Association clubs are stilt in a bunch at the tail, and the only one that has a chance to break awny is Louisville. Baltimore is not far behind the Falls City team, but her weak pitching department forbids any hope of ad vance. Tail-end honors lie between St Louis and Washington.

PHILADELPHIA POINTERS.THE REAIj CAUSE OF THE PHII*

LIES' POOR WORK.

"What the Falling-oft'in Ratting AbilityHas Done For the Team Ijack ofCoufldcncc Responsible For Their

Miserable Showing, Etc.PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.—The unhappy

Phillies during the past week maintained their losing gnit. They lost since last writ. iiiK one cniiie out of two to St. Louis, and three straight to the Brooklyus. The latter had also just been thronxh the treadmill of consecutive defeats, and probably did not look for such ft windfall as three straight victories from such a team as the Phillies—a team which had nil season proved destruc tive to Hrookiyn's pennant aspirations. How. ever, they caught the Phillies in an even more demoralized condition than themselves, and were thus enabled to brace up and close in on the leaders, while the luckless Quakers were remorselessly pushed so far duwn tho ladder that there is now but a slim chance for better than fifth place at the wind-up and danger of a final rest somewhere in thcsecond division. The team has three more Riunes to play at home with Baltimore, beginning to day. Then it plays abroad for two weeks after which it finishes tbe season at homo with four games—two eneb with Washington and New York. Doubtless both manage* inent and players heartily wish the unlucky season were already at an end.

A STRONG TEAM'S WEAKNESS.To the casual oDserver it is a difficult mat

ter to diagnose the trouble with the Phillies. It was not at any time this year, in our opinion, a pennant-winning team, but is. nevertheless, a powerful aggregation which should have won many more victories than it has to its credit, and despite the weakness of its pitchers, its slow base-running and erratio fielding, should rank higher in tlie race, as it had the batting ability to keep it at the front. It was batting that enabled it to make a great run ot consecutive victories and beautiful finish in the first season, and it was this bat ting ability that made admirers of the team sanguine of pennant honors in the second race. For two weeks of I he second season tb.8 team kept up its terrific batting streak, and then lost it never to regain it. Forsix weeks the team has been in a weak batting rut, emerging therefrom only at long intervals iu an occasional game.

A CURIOrS FACT.This is remarkable considering the ad

mitted exceptional batting strength of tlia team. All batting teams have let downs, but such a marked and long-continued decline as that of the Phillies is rare indeed, and prac tically inexplicable. Not even the fact that the team has had more accidents to its players in the second season than any other League team can explain the continued bat ting weakness, because tbe substitutes wer*) not so very much inferior to the regulars in batting, and because the spasmodic batting continued long after the regulars were all b»ck in their places.

THE BOOT OP TUB TROUBLE. The glaring fall-off in batting is primarily

the cause of the Phillies' poor showing. It imposed additional work upon the pitchers, who had to spur themselves to extraordinary efforts to keep down their opponents' batting to a par with that of their own team in order to give it a chance to win out on good field ing and luck; it made games so close that success depended, next to the pitching, on the fielding, and so errors became fatal which ordinarily could have been offset by good stick work. So when pitching and fielding; failed to win out without good luck aud hard batting, tbe team was made to appear weaker than it really was, aud with continued defeat discouragement set in and made the team an easier victim than it would otherwise havt) been.

LACK OF SELF-CONFIDEXCB.The whole trouble with the Phillies at th«

present time is discouragement and conse quent lack of confidence, and it is this alone) that makes the team appear weak and ready to quit. The batting let-down, the constant injuries to players, the persistent bad luck that has steadily manifested itself in nearly every game played within the past month, have had the eflect of so weakening the confi dence of the men in themselves that the necessary hit is never forthcoming and the simplest error becomes a fatality. It is not demoralization, but asort of we-can't-win-no- matter-what-we-do feeling that will intrude itself at all critical singes of a game, and paralyze individual effort and mar concerted action.

A» UNLUCKY TEAM.Against such a state of feeling all argn-

ments and all tbe efforts of the managment are powerless and nothing will changeor eradi cate it except a change of luck. In basa ball, as in other things, confidence won is half the battle, and confidence lost practi cally invites defeat. The Phillies are clearly s u fieri ng from depression and lack of confi dence aud will doubtless so sutler until ths end of the chapter unless their luck takes a turn for the better. luall respects they have been the unluckiest team in the League in the second season. They had some luck in the first season, hut the second season has more than evened that up by a remarkabls and persistent run of misfortune.

LOCAL JOTTINGS.Hamilton and Delehanty made their reap-

prarance on the team last Monday. The latter fielded brilliantly, and showed that his rest bad not deteriorate;! him.

T*ylor, the ex-Albany pitcher, reported for duty'to Manager Wright. PitcherEdO'Neill, latj of the Oakland team, may also be given a trial.

For the first time this season Weyhing'i motion in throwing to second base was culled a balk last Monday by Umpire Barns.

Lave Cross last Sunday, at Forepaitgh Park, killed a boa constrictor which had es caped from the side show of Pawnee Bill, which exhibited at the Park last July. The snake was playing havoc with Lave's pet chickens, which be has been raising at the deserted ball park.

Every time Weyhing attempts to hit the ball he steps away from the plate, making it impossible for him to hit an outshoot.

Pitcher liausewein, formerly of the Ath letics, is pitching for the Brandywine team.

Stigden, of the Oxford Club, is a catcher of merit worth looking after by professional managers.

Alien, alone, of the Philadelphia infield, keeps up a high average iu fielding.

Pitcher Setley, who was the star pitcher of | the Charleston Club of the South Atlantis League, is pitching for the Abiigtou Club, of this city. He is considered a promising young twirler.

Thompson and Connor seem unable to J strike their first season gait in batting.

titephrnson, who played centre field and batted so bard for the Phillies during Dele- hanty's illness, is now without a job owing to "bel's" recovery. He wants to sign with I some big team. He is an excellent batsman, I but uncertain in fielding and slow on tho] bases, owing to his deafness, which handi caps him greatly, as he cannot hear coachi-ral or orders in the field. J

The Phillies have been most successful} against tlie Boston pitchers.

Catcher Dowse was given the usual ton days'notice of release by Harry Wright un Tuesday. Now that Cross and Clements are both recovered from their injuries the Phillies'manager has decided that there is no use for another catcher. F. C. B.

A Hint at Revolution.CHICAGO, Sept. 21 —"There is trouble brewing

in Brooklyn," eaid Von jer Ahe here to-day, "and if I am not much mistaken there will be some emphatic change! over the bridge next year. I know that some of tbe officials of the club are not mtiified with Manager methods and record. I feel sure that it v?ill not be President Ilyrne and Manager Ward nextl year. It may be President liyrne and eoiu«" other maniger, or it may be Manager Ward i some other president. Tuke your choice."
