Points About the Game and Those
Who PLAY Ii.

A ridiculous custom now in vogue is the
wearing of big cumbersome gloves by out
tielders. They are Just about as necessary
as the wearing of white kid gloves by the
pitcher. Medium weight gloves may be .
necessity for infielders, who have TO handle
at short range terrific drives from the bat and
swift thrown balls. The Outtielder's duty is
not so arduous, and the catches he has to
make would not brulse the flesh of delicate
lady'S palm. The ball, when it reaches the
Oulfielder, has lost much of its momentum,
and can be handled better without than with
gloves.-New York Tribune.
Said Umpire Ferguson recently: 'sWhen l
heard of the decision made by the association
board of directors, in open violation of their
association constitution Ind the national
code of rules, l said to some Baltimore
friends that Won der Abe would get that fine
of 81 800 out of his players and sure enough
he has done SO. In the first place the deci-
sion gives him his share of the gate receipts
OF the Saturdays game-Over S7OO-and out
of fines from his players and the suspension
of pay he makes over $500, so that he gets
forfeiture. He and Comisky fixed that up
nicely for themselves when they got home"
Which side will weaken first the future
alone can tell. Heretofore the league has
not shown any remarkable amount Of nerve
In its dealings with the brotherhood but it is
now forced Into position to show its real
strength, and if it should be driven by the
brotherhood to exert its full power there can
be no reasonable doubt of the ultimate re:
suit. Its age, prestige, experience, subtlety,
and, above all, its wealth form combina-
ton that the brotherhood will hardly be able
to offset or successfully assail.-Sporting
