sluo captured Pete Wood, Hamilton s
crack pitcher. On Saturday there was
only differences Of $500 between the PAL
tie'.
Z,uesville les. $4,000, Kalamazoo al out
$4,000, and Sandnsky $500 before their
teams wero Gisbandtd. The $1,000 salary

Just before forfeiting that game in Chic
ago Buck Ewing was fire1 $25 by Umpire
Powers for suggesting that the latter pay
more attention to base ball and less to

dianapolis; he never Chicago Ne'cs.
Mr.. Ketcham, owner of the Toledo Ball
Club, annou aces that he has an invitation
to 90 in the American Association next

be made to make stock company of the
Toledos, and they will probably accept. ,
Duffy, of the Chicagos, is such an en-
thusiast that he does Lot take his uniform
off after he reaches the grounds in the
morning until the game is over. Arson
thinks a great deal of the boy, and he
comes very near to being ball player.
Jim Clifford is now telling with sorrow

He calls it "Me and Chris" or How

or, sent him his regards. 1t was AWAY
thaught that Jack had been killed in tt,
Zulu war, but it seems he is member o
the U. S. regular army and stationed q

Tim Murnare says hs can't understand
why every player with an injured ankl,
in these days is good for two and thre,
months lay off. In his ball paying day
an injured ankle didn't amount to much
Many time he played when he coult
hardly bear his weight on 1t. Ball fl,y
ing must have changed considerably.
