The excellent programme of the May shooting
tournament at Brunot's Island contains splendid

MANAGER MUTRIE says there is no probability
OF the New Yorks letting Pitcher Sharrot 20 to
the Phillies Mutrie can tell a good player, and
when he brings one out and develops him he
wants some use of him.
MULvEY says Corcoran is the best shortstop he
ever played with. The pair of them form a reg
ular stone wall to the left of the Athletic infeld.
Another great pair to dra~ to are Shiedle and
Allen, OF the Phillies. -PhtLddeLphld Ledger.
JOHN EWING is practicIng an underhand shoot
in the exhibition games. He showed marked
improvement in this particular style of delivery
yesterday, but was unable to get the ball the
plate three times out of seven without getting hit

JOCKEY MARTIN BERGEN has not signed a con-
tract for the coming season, and 1t Is not improb-

WHILE the left-hand pitchers prove terror to
most of the left-hand batsmen. Dan Brouthers
always could hit Morris, Shaw and the left-hand-
ers said he ''by getting close to them as pos
sible.'' Tim keefe was one of the few pitchers
that Dan could not tell what kind of ball he
about to deliver by watching the way he held the
bail.
MANAGER MUTRIE has returned from Boston.
He says the League team of that city is very
strong, but he told Boston people that in the
with the New Yorks their team will be like the
label on the bottle, not ''in it," Longs injury,
he says, is not serious and that valuable player.
whose loss to the team would greatly effect the
Boston's chance for the pennant, will be able to
be out IN a few days.
