League Club is badly crippled, but it is thought
Clarkson will be able to pitch in a few days SO
as to give the boys a little courage. Long has
been complaining of q cold and sore throat
but his work in New York, in the 13-inning
game, Just bordered on the outside edge OF
Lake Marvellous. Young Lowe Is too lame to
play, and his great stick work Is sadly missed.
Benefits arm is still lame. and Hardie has
been doing most of the catching and doing 1t
well. Won fricken, the new pitcher, got It in
the neck the very first game he pitcned. Mu-

German up for over 20 hits and the Yorkers
won with ease-12 to g. Another exploded

Mutrie's men found him an easy mark. He did
better than Fricken, but that won't insure
him job for the rest of the season unless he
shows great improvement. Nichols is pitch.

Many people hereabouts think mistake was
made In reducing the admission In Pittsburg,
but think IL was about the best thing TO do con-

would have been the proper caper TO my way Of
reckoning but as the League club was bent on
coming ~ 25 cents, the Brotherhood hackers
showed the proper spirit by taking the bull by
the horns and reducing the price at once And
don't be q bit surprised to hear other cities
cry for 25-cent ball. Brooklyn is already
crying for IL, and don't be Surprised

Whites men will keep tumbling, il I am NOT
greatly mistaken, for their pitching depart.
