Baseball Notes.


The season is waning very fast.
Labor Day games 1920 a. m. and Ais p. m.
Murphy's little mascot was quiet yesterday.
Only six more scheduled games for this
city.
McCawley is certainly putting up great
game.
Csssain promises to make good man for
the team.
Columbus and the Nationals will play on
Tuesday.
Tommy Dowd certainly played great
game yesterday.
Rain has played havoc with the regular
games of the home team.
Curtis is one of the best pick-ups the Ma
tional Club ever secured.
The police and reporters are talking about
playing series OF games
Curtis, the new aft fielder of the Nationals,
is already strong favorite.
Sutcliffe easily leads the American Associa-
ton batsmen. BE is a corker from Omaha.
What great short-stop that little fellow
Jennings, of the Louisvilles, is. He is the
equal of any playing to-day
Umpire Davis has fallen from the good
graces of the Washington public. Too bad,
for he gave promise of being first-class man.
Taylor, of the Louisvilles, is one of the best
players In America. He is a good general
all around man, and as hitter ranks among
the stars.
Cahill, the catcher of the Louisvilles, is the
best back stop the Louisvilles ever possessed.
He is agile as cat and throws like a bulls
eye shooter to bases.
The manager of the National Club should
see that the crowd OF small boys, black and
white, who cluster around the players seats, be
kept away. Dancing coons and other attrac-
tions detract from the sport.
After the two games this week with Colum-
bus, the Nationals will leave on their last trip
of the season, and will not return home until
October 2, when they play their last game
with Baltimore. 1t will be thus seen that the
team plays nine-tenths OF their last games
away from home.
The Olympics defeated the Orientals Thurs
day last by the score of II to 8. The batting
honors were won by Keleher, Cassin, and
Chamberlain, of the Olympics. Too much
cannot be said of the good workr Of Kelehe
at first bag. The game put up by him on
Thursday could not be excelled.
Monday is Labor Day, and being a holiday
among tradesmen the Nationals will cater to
this class OF people by playing two games for
the one admission. It will afford splendid
opportunity to see the local team close their
Western series, as with the completion OF the
contests there will be no more games until
October
Mike Kelly, the once great King, is not
hustliDg the crowds as the magnates Of the
Boston League team thought he would and
they are yainly and blankly staring in one
another's faces and mutely asking the ques-
tion, "was our $22, 900 well spent?" Many sur
mise that Kelly's day as star player being
past and seeing that his fortune was ebbing,
was shrewd enough to get an iron clad con
| tract with the rich Boston team. He makes a
| big salary, but he loses the esteem and respect
of thousands of admirers in Boston, who will
unquestionably throw their allegiance to the
Association team. In tue long run the action
of Kelly win benefit the Association.
The total lack of interest on the part OF the
Boston American Club over the action OF
Mike Kelly in jumping from their club to the
League, after SO many protestations of fidelity
] Onhls part, has Modified the other Assoca
