THE NATIONAL GAME.

TIE Brooklyns have not been shut out this
psason.
SLOWLY but surely the pitchers are getting
On top again.
KENNEDY has succeeded Stein as Brook
lyn's winning pitcher.
A BASEBALL player In Independence, Kan,
can throw q ball $50 feet.
HATrIxLD has replaced Schoch at third
base on the Brooklyn team.
THRRE Is no catcher In the business who is
surer on high fouls than Gunson, Of Cleve-
land.
No pitcher seems to have suffered so much
from the new pitching rules as Hutchinson,
Of Chicago.
McGARR, OF Cleveland, is playing third
base better than any man in the League ex-
eept Nash, OF Boston.
BALrIMoRE has never had a short stop in
many years that could play the position with
In mile OF McGraw.
/ liz all PittsburS's history It has never boen
represented by So strong an organization as
this year League team.
| CINCINNATI has wearied OF the player-man-
sger idea and Comiskey is now on the bench.
/ Washington is thinking the same way.
/ DELEHANrY. of the Philadelphias, leads the
/ League In home runs, having made sixteen.
Herman, OF the Giants, is close second.
KENNEDY, OF Brooklyn. by holding the
hard-hittinS New Yorks down to one hit. ac-
compiished one OF the rarest pitching fests
OF the season.
THE feat OF Donovan, OF Plttsburg, in play
Ing forty-nine successive games without an
error Will probably be the outtield fielding
record OF the year.
/ MULLASE, o: Baltimore, tried to hunt and
the ball glanced from the bat and struck him
severe blow on the nose. 1t is strange more
players are not injured in the same play.
THINKING ball players in other teams say
that they cannot understand why the New
Yorks are not nearer the front. They say
that the Giants are the fastest team In the
League.
GERMAN, OF the New Yorks, has what Is
known as "moist hand" It perspires
freely. That Is why he nearly always has a
lot OF sawdust near the "box," into which he
dips every time he gets ready to pitsh.
The Louisvllles have not done 50 badly
this season when their work is compared
with that OF other clubs. They have lost but
ten games more than the New Yorks and but
a few more than the Baltimores and the st.
Louis.
THIS has been an unusually destructive
year TO old time pitchers or rather 10 the
stars OF two or three years ago. Among the
notable failures are numbered the names o.
Keefe, Crane, King, Clnrkson, Lovett, Had
dock, Staley and Mullane.
THE complete understanding that exists
among the members OF the Boston team Is
simply superb. The men know each other
thoroughly, each has his particular work tc
do and there Is no friction. Therein lies the
secret OF the success Of the team.
CAPTAIN WARD, OF New York, is the king o
base stealers with forty-four. Then come T.
Brown, Louisville, forty; Hamilton Phila
delphis, thirty-nine; Mccarthy, Boston
Ewing. Cleveland, and Dowd, st. Louis
thirty-six; Burke, New York, and Radford
Washington, thirty-fve.
THE Cleveland team contains more mel
than any other team who are very fast in get
ting to first base Childs, Burkett, Mexican
Ewing and McAleer are hard men to retir,
at first on any kind OF a slow hit. The frs
three have the advantage over the last tive
because they are left-handed batters.
THE success OF the Baltimore Club will
young players has attracted the attention 0
managers all over the country. Manage
Hanlon began unloading his veterans yea
ago, and by judiolous selections replace,
them with vigorous, ambitious youngster
who have their greatest fame before them
The playing of that team has attracted atten
tion and admiration everywhere they went
whether they won or lost.
