and Kerims would make quartette that no
other league or association ever possessed
Ed. Andrews, left fielder of the Cincinnatis.
has been released by that club, owing to
trouble with Captain Kelly. He wants to
come here aud wired President Bennett ask
ing to be engaged as manager and captain
Andrews will be probably engaged If he wants
to come simply as ball-player.
President Kramer, of the American Asso-
citation, apparently went to sleep over his
contracts, releases, etc., as last week he bull
letined some that were due last April. The
dishing up of such names as Visner, Mace
ETC., as members of the National Club seems
something like dream.
The games scheduled by the Nationals for
this week are as follows: Sunday. Monday
and Tuesday, the Cincinnatis; Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, the Columbus, and Sat-
urday, the Louisvilles. We should win at
least half of the games in order to keep our
position.
The Boston Club will not play any more In
this city, as they have finished up their series.
This is regretted as the Bostons are prime
favorites here. or course IL the schedule is
heightened out then there will be another
chance to see them.
The National Club seems to have had lit
tie elixir of life infused into 1t since the
Omaha contingent came. Manager Shannon
has assumed control of the team, and already
better work is noticeable. 1t is refreshing.
Foreman received a telegram on Thursday
thathis mother-in-law was dying. The message
came to him in the fourth inning, yet he gal
lantly finished the contest, though his feelings
may easily be imagined.
Attorney Sutherland's rejoiDder to Colonel
Rogers, the attorney of the League, issued
last week, was a clever letter and better read
ing by far than his first. 1t was full of
bristles.
While the Nationals have the game with
the Cincinnatis and Columbus this week the
Louisvilles are playing the Athletics and Bos-
tons, and surely these two organizations ought
to keep the Kentuckians down in last place.
Cunningham, Baltimore's pet twirler, is in
bad repute, as his work lately has been away
below the average. Manager Barnie released
him on Tuesday for Indifferent playing.
Carsey, whom THE HERALD has insisted is
the best pitcher in the quartette of the Ma
tional Club, is now getting support and is
consequently pitching great ball.
Beecher has been suffering from rheuma-
tism, and that's what caused his lay off from
the Athletics. He is playing a strong game
for the Philadelphia team.
King Kelly has reinstated Robinson in the
ranks, as that almost incorrigible youngster
has taken several iron-clad oaths to do better.
McCauley, who takes McQuery's place at
first base, is certainly cutting out rapid pace
as batsman.
Lohman, the catcher, has been signed by
the Athletics and left with them on their
Western trip.
Sutclife has shown himself to be one of the
best hitters on the team.
Gil Hatfield played splendid left-feld game
on Monday.
"Papa" Alvord continues to rob batsmen of
base hits.
Now then, let's at Cincinnatis for sixth
place.
Tommy Dowd picked up in his playing last
week.
Louisville can now be dubbed stail-enders."
Manager Shannon made successful debut.
1t sounds odd, but it came at last.
