THEY ARE NOW MAKING A RECORD WORTHY OF

1t is pleasant duty to applaud ones nvortes ana 'ne
Little Giants all the praise which they are getchs
1t hardly appropriate to call the team the ah's
longer for Doyle Burke ard Fuller who are all playing
so praseworthy game arc all below the average Size
and they are not short being the three pgmes oil the
green diamond Held The only thing which worries inc
local followers baseball is whether the team can keep
up its present good There seems to be no eood
reason WIN {, should not The has been strengthened
30 per cent in baserunnIng, fielding and In team work
Those are the qualities which go toward making the sue.
ces, baseball team of to-day and they are Just the gooo
points which have much for the Brooklyn, Boston
Cleveland Philadelphia and Cincinnati teams this year
Powers now his under perfect control ana the
players no longer they like, but as he tells thcm'
The Ne,.York team may be further strengthened for
Powers is determined 70 wipe the record made by the

snappy" lively game contrast to the work zone
by old nine. Tho club has lost valuable player III
Newman the Outnedcr who has been conlned 10 me o''

strong man physically, but it is doubtful IL he VIII be

O'Rourke is too ridiculous TO call Tor dchiai'
People who have been calling for the suspension Of
sacrifice hitting could been close students OF the
pav OF the successful teams year To abolish sacrifice
hitting would make serious inroads on team work. ana
would at the time deprive the game OF one OF us
brightest scientific features 1t IS Just such work
largely responsible for the improved record
in the New.York nine This was illustrated in recent
game at the Polo Grounds. Tho New-York team scored
basehs coupled with sacriire hits and
clever baserunuing Their rivals tried to Slug" tho
ball with the result that although they made nine hits they
scored only Another bad effect which the throw
Ing OF sacrifice batting would have would be to mako
the try individual batting at the expense
Of the success Of the Every would try to
make a home run every time he went TO the bat. and
hcders would three times many put outs and
the pitchers a great many strike outs But tho
League club sensible 10 seriously enter
tain such silly prof. OsitIons.
Many people are still wondering why Bassett. Gore and
King longer connected with the NeN-fork team.
That all three clever players nobody for moment
denies That they did not do the work they capable
OF doing apparent Bassett had ALLEGED grievance
and he would try % play and the club followed wise
policy by allowing him 10 escw here Gore do better
work in some other city than he here he left
Chicago. Tho Silvcr'' King similar although
he It'll under contract to tho New-York club "syer
sided with troublesome element and left tho club in a
hun and Irttsburg He has recovered his

Louis and rttsburg lie Is clever pitcher when
not cranky and his desertion Of the club seems 10 have
had beneficial effect Eusle and Crane alternate
daily and unless accident should happen King will not
be needed Rusie and Crane both giants physically,
and the work they do the better they to pitch
