1t is said that Stage, the great pitcher
of the Yale team, passes his Sunday aft

the mission meeting held there. Rev.

Christian on all occasions. That he

In one game at Hot Springs, Ark.
Baldwin and Sprague each struck out
seventeen men. Arson struck out three
times and Tebeau four times. William
son said, after this game: "Wait until
the league season is pretty well along,

added: 81 think that's right. | wouldn't
be surprised If i'll some game the record

The veteran catcher Snyder said be
1eDeau, TIE chicago Lnlrd DaSenlaii,
whom he saw play at the Springs:
"The way he goes down for ground
ball reminds me of George Wright when

Jackson, the big fellow who played
first base for indianapolis awhile last
