BASE HITS.

The Senators boast of possessing the best out
field in the League. In getting under every
thing and throwing accurately, Wilmot, Hoy
and Daily are lauded as being without
superiors.
The st. Louis Browns are working a cute
trick right along. When an opposing base
runner is at second base the Browns pitcher
makes III intentional wild throw over the
base. The runner of course starts for third
and gets fooled, as the center fielder, who has
been posted, runs up on the throw, scoops it
in and, nine times in ten. gets it to third in
time to put the runner out at that bag.
Arson talks louder than ever of winning
the League championship, but his confidence
is not shared by the general Chicago public,
which fully realizes the partial weakness of
the team in the box.
Detroit is playing the steadiest game at
present put up by any League team. The
team is working like a big piece of machin-
cry, as powerful and effective and as smooth
running as a big Corliss engine.
Evsry pitcher that has faced Pittsburg has
won a game from the smoked Italians except
Dick Conway, Keefe and Gilmore. Two of
the three games against Keefe were ties.
The Chicago Maroons have adopted black
stockings and propose to don the black cap
as well. They will be no longer maroons
tken, but will be the Chicago juniors.
The Chicago club is playing the luckiest
game of ball in the League. Arson will ad-
NIT this, for the nine has lost but one game
by one run and won nine. In numerous
games they have been outbatted. Team
work, Of course, has n great deal to do with
the victory, also team luck.
The Washington uniform is almost a per
feet copy of that of Detroit. The League
ought to allot every club its own color and
thus prevent the confusion that Is now seen
at many games. Chicago abandoned white
stockings because Detroit appropriated the
color.

vertisement: "Wanted-Sand in large guam

adopted a resolution to fine any player found
drunk $500, with indefinite suspension. An

IAN that talk about the Brooklyns going
into the League is rubbish, !" said Mr.. Byrne,
last week. THAT question has never even
been up for discussion between my partners
and myself. In the first place, we are well
satisfied with the American association,
which we regard as being good enough for
us. In the second place, we have never been
invited to a membership in the League, and
II the offer should be made to us, it would
scarcely be seriously considered"
A deep gloom hangs over Boston, and the
Red Stockings will receive a very frigid re-
ception on their return home.
Albany's international League club is being
reorganized and greatly strengthened
The friends of the New York team feared
the end of their fine run had come when the
entire outfield was temporarily lost at one
sweep, oiRourke by injury, Slattery by i'll
ness and Herman by the death of his brother.
The substitutes, Gore, Foster and George,
have shown up well in the field, however,
ard at the bat have led the others, SO that
the team was not really weakened at all.
And the good work continues.
Joe Hornung has made but one error this
season.
