What the Players Find to Talk About.
 Quinn of theBostons is hitter
 The Detroits either give Grueber poor sup port or else they make only three or four base hits when he pitches.
 Pitcher MulIane, when with Louisville, held the Cincinnatis down to no hit in six teen consecutive innings on two days. This is pretty near record.
 The Bostons have displaced the Detroits for third place.
 Poor Chicago! It won't be long before Boston will be in second place.
 Ed. Beatin, the little pitcher of the De- troit club, has been arrested upon very se- rious charge, preferred by young lady resi- dent of Allentown, Pa, where Beatin for merlY played. He was taken to Allentown and will be kept in custody until his case is called up for trial. The arrest caused consid- erable excitement among the Detroit mem bers, as Beatin is favorite with all. The little fellow declares that he is not guilty, and claims that he will fully be able to prove his innocence in court.@
 Higgins of the Bostons is boxer.
 Hutchinson of the Dss Moines club was formerly 8 Yale student. In the opening inning of recent game he was surprised to see the first six men at the bat line for safe hits. After three men had been re- tired Shafer coached him to relate Latin prayer, to the great amusement of Halli- day. It changed the luck.
 Bob Petit left Chicago last Wednesday for one of the cities in the central part oi Illinois. He is after young pitcher who recently retired the Milwaukee club on five hits. He is IS years old and of excellent physique. It is stated on good authority that the young man Is Dernbrouger, of the Blooningtons.
 Pitcher Barrett, of the Allentowns, has been released.
 If St. Louis wins the pennant this year, Comiskey will receive the credit of winning it with an aggregation of discarded players King is discarded league pitcher; Devlin, Lyons and Mccarthy were not good enough for the Philadelphias; White was given his unconditional release by Louisville; the Ath. letics had no further use for Milligan; Herr could not hold his end up with tail-end Cleveland last year, and he was not even ir demand by minor league clubs, and Cincin nan did not consider Boyle good enough tC retain.
 The Athletics are rapidly gaining on th. St. Louis.
 "Billee" Taylor has not been released by the Scrantons.
 Halpin is playing poorly with Albany.
 In the last game with Elmira Fitzgerald oi the Wilkesbarres held his opponents down tc three hits.
 In speaking about base-runners, ,Dalrympls of the Pittsburg club says: stIf Sunday could only learn to start we'll he would beat any could only get away as fast as Pop Smith ol Kelly and with the same keen judgment he could land standing up and they could moi head him. This is the frat season he evel elid to bases head first and he shows great improvement over his work of last season He intends to take some lessons from pros fessiunal sprinter this fall in getting away from the mark and when he gets that down fine he will beat the world. Of all the fine base runners in the league Smith is the peer of any of them. He cannot run as fast as Sunday or Latham, but he has got great head on him when it comes to getting there. T
 s'Silver" Flint, the crack Chicago catcher, is still the reliable backstop that he has been for years, and he has stood the brunt of thir. teen campaigns. Few catehers have stood the strain that he has, and certainly none sight. They are twisted and turned and bat tered almost out of shape, until there is scarcely shapely joint on either member. Speaking of Joe Hornung's injury, Flint says: :It was terrible crack. Players are often hit by pitched balls, but very seldom are their injuries serious. Some players are better dodgers than others and get out of the way more easily. Few can elude wildly pitched balls as well as Kelly of the Bostons. He issquiek as cat, and guages the ball very quickly. The other ex- treme is Paul Hines. He Is very slow to get out of the way and is one of the few men who run into the path of the ball. He'll bear for life cruel scar on his forehead, where he was hit by pitched ball"
 "Do you think men are intimidated at all by such severe injuries, gay, as Hornung re- ceivedg"
 "No, I do not think so, though some would be prone to believe that such is the case. I have been hit great deal, and sometimes very hard, but it is soon forgotten. think that Hornung may feel little nervous at first, but 1t will all wear of, and he will be hitting as hard as eYer.n
