Notes and Gossip.
Texas league disbanded June S.

A'O ACAdS ACA5u OlsUdIuSu June >.
Pitcher Chamberlain of the st. Louis
club was suspended indefinitely June II
There are rumors that the league will
change its schedule after the Fourth of
July games.
The New York Players League Club
attribute their Philadelphia defeats to that
wonder, Griffin.
Kilroy in the games he has thus far pitched
Tor Boston has great sneei for four innings
and then seems to lose it all.
There is a greater rivalry between the
clubs Explained by Ward and Ewing than
between any other clubs in the Players
league.
Ward has been fined $50 by Gunninp-s90
in the New York and $40 in the boston
game The short stop has been PLAYING
ball twelve years and this was his first ex-
perience.
A club has at last been heard of that re-
turned from long trip and actually con-
fessed that 1T had no fault 10 find with the
umpiring while abroad. Louisville is that
| remarkable club.
The Boston brotherhood club has thus far
played to over 135, 900 people in champion
ship games-uOt much like losers, that.
There have been numerous demands for
Boston stock, and Sl75 and 500 per share
nave beSH OuereQ alQ refused.
John Wards team got about ell the
plums in the Boston end of the players'
schedule. He not only opened the season
and grounds on Fast day. but also played
the first championship game there, and now
has the Bunker Hill day games-June II.
| A brotherhood man recently admitted
that Hutchinson is the greatest pitcher in
the country. Had Chicago another like
him it would take the pennant without even
a moment of anxiety as to the result. His
| speed Is greater than any other pitcher,
and his command of the ball is perfect.
The Chicago team Seems to TO- be liz rut
! and cannot get out. The members seem to
have lost confidence in themselves, and the
bad luck that steadily pursues the undoubt-
eddy strong team has depressed their spir-
| its. Comiskey is doing everything in his
power to win, but still everything seems to
| go wrong.
1t now looks as though the Pittsburg
team had struck It's gait, as the men are
| fielding well aud the pitchers are In form.
President McCallin says this is the result of
| sticking to the same men, and not con-
stantly changing, as the old club has been
doing. He also claims his club is so far q
little ahead in financial way.
John Ward will make his appearance in
Boston this week with a jet-black mascot.
He is a wonderful whistler and big enough
and old enough to have good voting powers.
He will wear uniform, and If he does not
create a sensation in the Hub | am a Door
guesser. AS a whistler Boston never heard
anything like him. He says he can whistle
a run in or make man strike out.
Buck Ewing hurt his back while doing
some heavy lifting in preparing the ground
for the Yale and Princeton boys. He could
not go to Philadelphia on that account or
the returns from there would have been DIFF
ferent. No other catcher can get the work
out Of O'Day, Crane or Brother John that
the great Buck can. With him behind the
plate they have more confidence than an
other can give.
Here is the way the Boston Globe speaks
of the Philadelphia Brotherhood team
1.-THE Philadelphias have one of the liveliest
| playing teams in the country. Shindle Is
one of the jewels His stops of apparent
hits are wonderful, and he is great bats
| man and base-runner. 4 Griffin is q
player who will interest Bostonians i'm
mensely. He is regarded as one of the
greatest outfielders in the country. He
covers great deal of territory His man
ner of fielding is unique. He runs for a
ball with his arms outstretched, clasping
the ball generally far above his head. x 4
| Pitcher Knell is left-hauded, has great
speed and is very effective. 4 = The
! Philadelphias showed II this city last week
that they are anything but an easy prey,
and our boys will have their hands full t.
| beat them y
