BASE BALL.
Unltiiuorc Wins the Third Straight
tJnme in the Temple Cup Series.
Baltimore, Oct. C The chances for
the Temple cub resting in Bnltlmore
this winter are bright. Today the third
game of the series with the Cleveland
team, and last one to be played In Bal
timore, went to the home team by the
score of fi to 2. The champions need
but one more game to capture the elu
sive llagon. Cnless the Spiders put tip
a better article of ball on their home
grounds than they have presented here
the Orioles are likely to make it four
straight. Not that the westerners have
not played good, fast ball, but the east
ern boys are at their best, and for the
first time In a Temple cup series, have
been aide to give their opponents pitch
ing of the very highest class, while
Young and Cuppy have both been out
of condition.
The teams will continue the series
In Cleveland on Wednesday, Frldny
and Saturday, provided, of course, the
Ortolan d not win and thus end the
centest. Should a seventh game be
necessary to decide the winner, It will
most likely be played In Pittsburg.

the lower cables from, London were not
without Inlluence in certain quarter.
Sugar, Munhuttun, the Grangers und
