Gee whiz, but hasn't old "Sure Pop"
McCauley got his eye on the ball. His
work on the present trip has been out
of sight.
There must be some mistake. Surely
Colonel Rob inson could not have said
that he was going to release Park Will
son. If there is one man in the league
who has played hard to win 1t is Park
Wilson. His work in Los Angeles has
been Of the Sensational order, but then
Colonel Robinson would be liable to re-
lease John Ward il he had him in his
team.
Boston leads in the National, Colum-
bus in the Western and Los Angeles in
the California league.
'Roat has been doing some phenomenal
batting for Milwaukee this year. He

The Cleveland players are willing to
gamble that thew will finish ahead of
Chicago. They all speak highly of
DUNCAN, who, though poor fielder, is q

they think will become great batter
under AnBon's instruction. Il Exchange.
The Angels will get great sendoff on
Wednesday afternoon. They will arrive
home tomorrow.
1t isn't often that Boston pitcher is

only one to suffer this year.
The scheme Of taking the California
league teams to the northwest will be
settled the latter part OF this week.

Francisco and devoted to sports, roasts
Colonel Robinson and says that in re-
organizing for the next campaign the
California league should free itself from
the man who has been q drawback and
place the ill-starred team in more in

In q recent game Arlie Latham, the
crack coacher. did not open his mouth
until the seventh inning. The audience
was mystified. "
Pitcher Knell is an enigma. One In.
ming he is as wild as q March hare and
the next he is steady and regular. The
rpaculiar spectacle of five runs being
made in two innings OF seven bases on
balls, and not safe hit or batted ball
outside the diamond, with but one err
ror. was seen here in the second Oleye-
land game. .Of all the exhibitions of
pitching this was about the worst. In
every other inning Knell was steady.

which they should have easily won.--

A typographical blunder gave Wright
two errors in yesterdays game. He
only made one. Tredway did not make
an error, either. There were only two
errors made, one By Hulen and one by
Wright.
Three out Of e se is pretty good after
all. and there is nothing the matter
with ten out of sixteen.
On the last trip paragraphs went the
rounds that Los Angeles had the weak
est. pitchers in the league. It Is q differ.
enc story on the present trip, however.
The Colonels only got two hits off
'sPeachblow" Hoffman in fridays
game. This is the record thus far this
season.
The fifteen inning game played last
week between the Colonels and San
Francisco is the second one ever played
