Baseball Notes,


BERGER caught good game yesterday.
ELMER CLEVELAND has signed with the Troy
Club.
HANLoN was the only man who stole base yes
terday-
AND do we still hear that talk about releasing
Calvin?
THERE was nothing wrong with Miller, nor with
Carroll either.
PITCHER SMITHS time has expired and he can
now go wher. he likes.
AND the next question is: Why people talk
ing about releasing Carroll.
RUSIE has terrific speed, but he lacks the art of
using il to the best advantage.
1T is stated that Bob Sanders will likely sign to
pitch with the Philadelphia club this week.
GOOD fielding and timely hitting are great re-
quisites in securing victory in bali game.
AFTER seeing Miller's good work at short yester-
day, President o'Neil resolved to release Laroque
at once.
1T is stated that If Judge Maxw eli grants the in
junction agains; Reilly, the latter will play at Co.
lumbus.
THE Speaker Reeds want to play any local
Junior team, Saturday. Address W. Harris, Box
3I4, City.
WHEN Reilly made his home run hit yesterday,
Bassett tried to stop him at third. The trick was
very questionable one.
THE League race is certainly exciting enough for
the cranks at present. These are three ties among
the first six clubs ard the seventh is close up.
THE Silver Kings want to play any local team
whose members are not more than IA years old. Ad-
dress A: Clarke, 81 Wakefield street, Oakland.
jim MUTRIE lost bottle of wine ON yesterdays
game. A local hotel keeper bet him bottle that
Calvin would win his game against the New Yorks
and Jimmy did it, of course.
A DISPATCH from indianapolis says: Thomas
McGill, of Chicago father of the boy ball player,
injured in the recent railway wreck this place.
died to-day in ST. Vincent Hospital of conclusion
of the brain.
IT looks as though .'Charlie'' Bassett is fixture
at New York's third base, He is fielding the posi-
tion superbly and his batting is hard and timely.
Meanwhile Denny complacently draws his salary
NelO York Herald.
THE Columbus papers which not SO very long ago
were giving up space In abusing Third Baseman
Reilly for jumping, to Pittsburg have veered
turn to their city and are calling him pet namss
Baseball Is funny game.
PHILADELPHIA critics want ''Sid'' Farrar back
class work for New Haven, will not be released by
that club unless good round sum is forthcoming
from the Quaker manager:.
BASEBALL men seem to think that ''Calliope',
Miller will not pan out as successful short stop for
Pittsburg and that he will soon resume his old place
worked. 1t wouldn't be a bad plan for Palmer
O'Neil TO engage Esterhrook to play short third
This advice may be well intended but it is little
too previous.
THE time for Kisses and revenge having gone by
/ hope that when Jack Glasscock steps up to the
applause. Kisses arc barbarian, and whatever
may be said of the part it only be admitted
Jack Is PLAYING wonderful game. and is doing all
ject. OF course If Jack resorts to 'drty BALI, the
above paragraph don't go.-CleueJdrd World.
