Notes of the Game and Its Expo
nents.
1t is said that Arson is trying to pur-
chase the release of Canovan, the Omaha
left-felder
In the last four games he has played,
Tucker, of the Boston league nine, has
had fifty-threc chances and accepted
them all.
Arson says that, with the team he
has at present, he could win the major
ity of games in series with any team in
the country.
Deacon White has learned to ride a
bicycle. 1t seems to have done the old
timer good, as he is playing remarkable
ball for Buffalo.
Rusie is called the clown of the New
York League team. An appellation of
that kind does not affect his ability to
pitch big ball, however.
1t is estimated that an average attend
ance of 5000 to game is necessary to
clear the PittSburg League club of all
expenses from now until July 4.
Harry Taylor, who is now covering
short field for the Louisvilles, is one of
the "findS" OF the season. He is an en-
cellent general player and hard bat
ter.
BorcherS, the pitcher who was tried
by Arson some time ago, is playing great
ball for the Stocktons, of California.

without stint.
Dave Rowe tried to secure George
Tebeau for the Denver team, but George
was unwilling to return to the club from
which he was graduated into the Amer
lean Association.
Radbourn, the Boston pitcher, wants
TO pitch at least three times week.
Kelly thinks well of the veteran, and
will probably give him all the work he
can take care of.
Gleason was kept on the bench so much
last year that he didn't have an oppor-
tunity to show himself This year he
has all the chances he desires, and he is
putting up a wonderful game.
What Cunning and Matthews do not
know about umpiring a game OF base
ball would fill book. If they are eX-
ponentS of the double-umpire system,
it's time to return to the one-man style.
Dalrymple has signed to play in Mil
waukee. 1t is said by people who claim
to know that the once great Chicago
fielder got badly in debt in Denver, and
was crowded out of town by his credi-
tors.
Four opponents of the American ma
tional game are located in Great Britain,
and base ball is to be thoroughly intro
duced there. The Englishmen have a
league formed already, and are taking
great interest in the game.
Hick Carpenter has played in three
games for the Kansas City club and has
done exceptionally we'll His fielding
has been fine and he is beginning to hit
the ball. Elmer Smith is also doing
good work with the stick. When not
pitching he plays left field for the Cow
boys.

dent admreS of base ball, Last Friday

-." The Court was convulSed.
Presidents Robinson and Johnson, of
Cleveland, have made wager of $500
