ILADELpBIA is baseball crazy.

PHILADELPHIA is baseball crazy.
CHICAGO has tried eleven pitchers this
season.
FoULISa the ball frequently will weary the
best pitcher.
DUFFY, of Boston, leads the League in
number of base hits.
DOYLE, of New York, is one of the best
utility men in the League.
THE Baitinores won ten Of their twelve
games with the Brooklyns.
SINCE Glasscock joined the Pittsburgs they
have been winning steadily.
THE Brooklyns are worse of for pitchers
than any of the League clubs.
THE major League raid on the Southern
League Is widespread one.
ST.. LOUIS has occupied every place in the
League order this year, excepting only the
last.
THREE triple plays have been made in the
League this year by Pittsburg, Brooklyn and
Baltimore.
WITH the double season this year the
Philadelphia would have won the first
championship.
THE Boston-New York series is ended and
the New Yorks have won only four Of the
twelve games.
In Rusie, Baldwin and Germon the New
Yorks have three as good pitchers as the
League boasts.
DEAF-MUTE Hoy, of Washington, has
learned to say you're rotten with explosive
force to umpires.
WHENEVER player makes home run on
the Chicago grounds he is presented with a
box Of chewing gum.
GAsrR1GHT, of Boston, holds the record of
pitching out two clubs on two successive
days without hit or run.

BASEBALL Is in such high favor at Yelling
ton, Kan, that the Mayor of the town makes
an address at the beginning of the games.
The young players who are being engaged

and are likely to give good accounts of
themselves
AN ordinary two-base hit must be made by
Milligan, of New York, every time he goes to
bat in order to make certain Of a clear title
to first base.
BosroN leads in runs, with Philadelphia
second and New York third. Philadelphia
leads in base hits, with New York very
close second.
ANsoN is not popular with Chicago spec
tators, and he is often jeered and laughed at
for some of the plays he makes, in which he
is not as fast as many younger men.
The Louisville Club has accepted the ser
vices OF Inlrd BaSe1nan Denny, OF Augusta,
Ga Pitcher Cross and Outf1elder Mccarthy,
of Charleston. S. c., and Shortstop Miller
of Nashville, Tenn.
NEW YoRK's new man, Stafford, is one of
the best all-round players in the profession.
He can play any position, including pitcher
and catcher, but his best place is the outfeld.
He is very fast on his feet and can do 100
yards as fast as any one in the profession.
MCCARTHY, the clever right fielder Of the
n6rfOFO
team outside OF batting and fielding. He has
the position of ''sign detective. From the
start of the game Mccarthy begins to study
the opposing batteries to ferret out their
signs. He is exceedingly clever in detecting
battery signals, and If the pitcher and
catcher Of an opposing team are not "un-
der cover with their signs Mccarthy will
soon figure them out. His little system has
helped Boston past the wire first on many
occasions.
