can induce him to leave it again.

stance an uneXcusable error has given them

Buck Ebright'S one-hand pickup of Fud-
gers vicious gr0unGer in the second inning
of yesterdays game was the most promi-
nent play of the contest, and was remindful

The Stockton players are now managing
themselves as best they can. Already
Messrs. De Pangher Sharp, Turner, Shelly,
Berlng, Shepherd and Flynn have held the
position OF manager, but each, excepting
Flynn, has been removed or resigned. With
such a loosely conducted team it is no
wonder they hold the tail-rnd position.
Wouldn't the Sa Tameuto management do
a wise thing if they allowed DAILY two
weeks leave of absence so he might get rid
Of the rheumatism in his shoulder. DAILY is
one of the mainStays of the Senators tam
but his hitting and fielding is greatly inter-
fered with by the lame member. A course
of hot salt water baths would no doubt put
Jack in fine playing condition in a week or
so.
The following players. according to we'll
known writer OF the national game, Will
constitute the Chicago Brotherhood team
next season: Boyle and Farrell, catchers;

letcs, on the bases; Fuller, now with st.
Louis. short; Mccarthy. right field; Duffy.
center, and Collins, now with Brooklyn,
left.
Little Speer's work of late, both at and
behind the bat has been something wonder
full. In the past three games the Kid has
been thirteen times at bat and has made six
safe hits and two sacrifices. In Fridays
game he batted in three of the runs and Sat
urday two His back-StOpping and throw
ing has also been clever and accurate, and
there is no more earnest PLAYER in the Frisco
team than the boy from Pittsburg.
Up to September 18th, Van Haltren has
pitched twenty live games for the Brooklyn
Players League team, OF which he won
fifteen. He was especially effective against
the Phllies, winning the three he pitched
against that team, and also took four of
FIVE played with Pittsburg. He lost three of
five to Boston and quit even with New
York, winning and losing two to the Giants.
He was successful in two out Of three games
played each with Chicago and Cleveland,
but lost the two he pitched in against Buff
falo.
Manager Barne Of the Batlmores talks
of taking a club to California this winter to
be composed of California players as fol-
lows: Power of Baltimore, first base and
captain; Collins of Brooklyn, second base;
Smalley of Cleveland, shortstop; Raymond
of Louisville, third base; Davis of Cleveland,
left field; Long of Baltimore, center field
Burns of Brooklyn, right field. Pitchers
Baker of Baltimore, Nichols of Boston and
Lovett of Brooklyn. Catchers-Hardie of
Boston, Townsend of MISUNDERSTANDING
News.
Next Sunday the Oaklands and Frscos
play two games, one at the Oakland grounds
in the morning and the other al Haght street
in the afternoon. On all former occasions
when two games were played the same day
the Oakands were victorious in both, eX-
cepting the one played at Oakland August
4tf, which was tie, the score being to 8.
Next Sunday, however, Finn hopes to turn
the tables and will most probably do so as
his team is putting up fast game in every
department, especially in hitting. His three
pitchers. Mccarthy, Coughlin and Looka-
baugh, will also be in prime form and two
great contests may be anticipated.
