BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 4.— The new champions took the first game for the Tempi..- cup today, defeating the Balti mores in a close contest more through a ct.mbination of lucky hits and daring base running-, assisted by darkness in the last two innings, than by any great superiority of play. Neither team BhoWed championship form, while the work of the home team was at times vei y much below the mark. The Orioles batted Nichols out of the box and would have given Lewis a similar dose if they could have seen the ball in the last two innings.

The announcement that the Free Press cup rontest is at an end, and that Indianapolis !ias been awarded the trophy, comes as a surprise to the base ball patrons of the Western league. By what authority do the Columbus and Indianapolis clubs assume to juggle with this trophy? It was given to the league by the Detroit Free Press and It was to be played for under a fixed set of rules. The chief of these was that the contest should continue until either the first or the second club should win four games. In the present Ronte cr the Indianapol.s club had won three Fames and Columbus two. Neither had won four games and neither, therefore, has the right to claim the cup.
