cause he has been strict with them. Some of
them don't SPEAK to him. How silly.
Over 1000 persons saw the Baltimore game.
The monumental city is picking up.
Those papers that delighted to print mean
little filings every day about ''Suiiivan's daily
error" must be pleased now that they have had
him put on the bench.
Smiling Willie Gleason Of the Brown Legs is
q philosopher. He went ont to the Fair
grounds at st. Louis the other day, and sitter
watching the gentiemanly bookies exchange
pasteboards for coin he observed: 1.-The only
guys who do any playin' out here and get the
best OF it are the guys vino play In the band.
It's cinch that they are % ahead on the day."
Owing to the vaughn-B rodie quarrel on the
st. Louis grounds last week it was thought
there would be serious trouble when the two
teams met at Cincinnati Sunday afternoon.
An immense crowd Of people saw the visitors
win out stubborniy contested game in the
ninth inning by single run without making
any demonstration. Tommy Dowd. who scored
the winning run, was blocked by Vaughn at
the home plate. An angry war of words fol-
lowed between Vaughn and some of the St.
Louis players, but they were separated. Three
members of the ST. Louis team were hit with
cushions as they were leaving the park, bat it
was done playfully. Attendance, 9,O25.

"Dupee" Shaw occupied seat in front of the
screen in q recent Boston game, a very much
interested spectator. ''Dupee" weighs 100, but
Is feeling nicely. He caught q quick, hot foul
with his famous left hand amid applause from
those who witnessed the same.
One OF the greatest dangers to ball players is
in sliding to the home plate, where the catchers
are allowed to deliberately block the runner OF.
The base runner should be entitled to a chance
to reach the base.
After Strickers unfortunate error on Satur-
day the demand from the bleachers for him to
replace Muivey will probably cease. No blame
is attached TO Stricken but there no reason
for Suiiivan's being deposed. Twice Stricken
had chances to save the game by hit and
twice failed. Sullivan souldnt have done
worse and might have done better.
The Cincinnati Club has released Partisan
