next Wednesday Q: the Madison street ball
park.
Harry Wright, of the Philadelphia, has been
baseball manager for twenty -four years.
Minnehan hurt his arm in yesterdays game,
but viii probably by all right by Wednesday.
Gilliland is developing into fine leftfelder.
His only weakness is in fielding ground hit
balls.
Billy Earles three-bagger yesterday was the
prettiest and longest hit inside the fence this
season.
Big Tom Turner has been dubbed turner,
the Terror" in California on account of his
ter rife hits
Willie Langes father is here from San Fran
cisco and has seen his son play splendid ball in
the last two games.
Goodenough, of the Tacomas, is a regular
whirlwind on the bases. 1t takes lightning
work to head him off.
Al Lawson, the greatest "fakir'' in the pro-
fesslon, now talks of taking a team to England.
Here's hoping he'll go there and stay.
"Chuck" Lauer seems to be subject to the rat
ties in tight place with a crowd yelling for the
opposing team. Otherwise he is all right
SIX weeks ago Philadelphia refused Washing
tons offer OF 1880 for Mulvey's release, and
now he has been released Internationally.
George Muldoon is playing third base and
'Beesie" McGuirk first base for the Rock Island
Moline team in the Illinois Indiana League.
The California League has decided to divide
the championship season. The first half will
END July "A and the second begin ON July q.
Dummy" Ryn is beginning to hit the ball
''ilke he used to" at Minneapolis, and promises
to make some of the pitchers weary very soon.
Spokane has signed Third Baseman Raymond,
late OF the Pittsburgs. Joe Strauss will be
moved to second base and Gus Klopf to the out
field. Raymond 10 a cleaver fielder but a weak
hitter
Charlie Irwin has very sore ankle and will
not be in shape to play for several days. 1t Is
mending nicely, though, and the ambitious
young third-baseman is eager to get to work
again.
The average baseball crank's Judgment is
guided solely by results He ignores conditions
entirely. 1t is no consequence to him how a
club wins SO 1t wins.-Sporting Life True as
gospel
Billy Earle is having hard luck on the bases.
In the last two weeks he has been knocked out
OF half dozen base hits by mistaken decisions
OF umpires on grounders to the infeld that he
has beaten out at first.
"Cousin Park Wilson, the Oakland catcher
who was with Glenalvin at Portland last year,
was married a few days ago to Miss Josie Per.
alta Van Vrankin, a wealthy young lady of
Oakland. Good boy, Park.
Nearly all of the Pacific Northwest talent now
in the Western League have caught on in great
shape. Charlie Newman and Frank Ward have
been called up into the big league, and Frank
Motz and "Jiggs" Parrot are apt to follow.
With Frank Ward at Baltimore there will be
two Wards playing second base for the National
League, the great John Montgomery doing that
act for Brooklyn. 1t is difficult to understand
what Baltimore wants with Frank Ward, with
such man as "Cub' Stricken now at second
base.

Ewings in the late amateur league, wore a
Seattle uniform yesterday, and would have been
put in the game had any of the regular men
been crippled. He was very fast man in
amateur ranks, and promises to make q record
in faster company if given a chance.
McGinnls is imperturbable. He never gest
ratified or moves quickly unless there is some
necessity for it. Then he displays a wonderful
fund of reserved energy. He can run with a
splendid stride, and does not spare himself
When the emergency passes he is as slow and
easy going as before. He is a ball player.
In Saturdays game a curious incident oc-
Cured when Seattle was at bat. The four pitch
ers who were playing followed each other in the
batting order and in the seventh inning when
McGinnis came to the bat, PARROT, Gilliland and
Camp occupied the bases. Mac showed fra
ternal feeling by rapping out a base hit,
Jack Darrah has been released by Portland.
According to reports, Tebeau is to play third
regularly, with Mains at first when not pitching.
When "Little Willie is in the box Stencil will
play first base and Leiper left field. It's dollars
to cents that this makeup won't last and that
before the month is out Barnes will ave a new
third baseman with Tebeau back at first.
Last spring Billy Earle coached college team
at Columbus, S. c., and now he gets the follow
ing send-off from the Sporting Life correspond
ent at that place: "After what Billy Earle told
me, was fully expecting to see him drop into
Columbia almost any day, and I wore a regular
two by four smile to greet him with, for lots OF us
believe that with his enthusiasm he could have
either kept Winston in, or else soon got another
city to take her place; but now he has deserted
us, and gone to the most distant part OF the
States (Seattle), and many lover of the game
regrets that Billy can't come to our relief Joy
go with you, Billy, can't"
