NOTES FROM THE BALL FIELD.
Umpire Valentine has resigned.
The home management has released John Irwin,
who has been laid on for some weeks on account
OF bad leg. shoch is doing as good as anybody
else at short.
There was queer mix-up in Saturdays game.
OBrien played third and Murray did the honOrs at
first
The new scoring rule about bases on balls has
longer show the effects OF a pitchers WIIdness
The record Is kept In the summary.
Two veterans have been put on the market by
Bost0n's release OF Burdock and Sutton. This
chance for the managers OF The Senators. Early
In the season there was a strong effort made 70
secure sutton, who was said TO want 10 play In
Washington. IL was afterward given out that
the Boston people wanted too much money and
the deal" fell through.
Mcclure, the Philadelphia catcher has also
been released. Ia fact, the market Is tuI of good
men with good records, who can probably be en-.
gagged at reasonable tigures.
n little harder batting would have won the vame
on saturday, and a Few hard hitters introduced
into the ranks Of the home team would be a great
Improvement.
MIR. Valentine says that the chief cause OF his
resignation Is the mental anxiety and vexation he
mas nat 10 undergo He adds that Arson has
been hostile TO him from the start and has used
various means 10 annoy him slyly ON the field and
Is openly Insulting and oyerbearing outside

III IL continues To play its present game it Will
WORRY the leaders before the season closes.-Phil-
