Baseball.

Herman Long leads the League in runs
Baltimore proposes to play Jennings in
the out field.
Arson is thinking of buying Bassett to
replace LANCE.
Mark Baldwin is pitching winning ball
for New York.
King says the new pitching rule is re-
sponsible for his bad work.
st. Louis wants to sign Carter of Yale.
He refuses to become professional.
The Southern league will finish with
eight clubs. Birmingham has already dis
banded.
Shortstop Jack Rowe is playing great
ball for the Buffalos. He is fielding finely
and batting as of yore.
Thompson's throwing this year from
right field to the plate is second only to
that OF Treadway of Baltimore.
What wouldn't Arson give for Stein !,
Caravan, Merritt, Pfeffer and several
other good men whom he has allowed to
slip away from him.
Comiskey seems to have had very little
luck since he left st. Louis, and this year
his club does not seem to be nearly as
strong rs was expected.
Dowd, of st. Louis, is one of the fastest
base runners in the League, II not the
1uSUSSU. he Is CICu1tSu WIN 11dhlHS oliO
rounds in thirteen and one-half seconds.
What is wanted now is a specific rem
edy for tsthat tired feeling we all expe-
rience at this season of the year, when
reading OF the exploits of the Chicago
baseball club.
Crooks is not so loud in his demonstra-
tons against Empirical decisions this
year. Manager Watkins has toned him
down trifle, and Jack merely gets red
in The face when strike is called on him.
Pfeffer is greatly depressed over the
poor showing the Colonels are making.
He is playing in his old-time form, and
in the field his men are up TO the best OF
them, but when hits would count they
cannot get them.
Some of the fellows who had great drop
balls and no speed last season are out OF
! it this year. Their drop is all right, but
the ball touches the earth five feet in
front of the plate. The increased dis
lance is too much for them.
Captain Ward has again given Ed Crane
a ten-days' notice of release, and this
time it will probably be final, for Crane
has shown no improvement, and he
thinks he can do better elsewhere.
Catcher Milllgan has sighed with the
| Giants.
Brooklyn and Boston will open series
at Boston that will have a wide influence
on the standing of the leaders. After
three games then on the home grounds
Brooklyn goes to Pittsburg, Cleveland
Cincinnati, Louisville, st. Louis and Bal
timore.
Hawkes. pitching suits the Oriole!
well. He struck ''ArlieD Latham GU
three or four times at bat, and 'fArlie's'
uncomplimentary remarks cost him $25
When Hawke gets so that he can las
through nine innings without letting III
he will be as good as the rest.
The veteran actor, James e. Murdoch
died on the same day that King Kelly
abandoned the buskin for chest protector
and mask. There may be nothing in the
coincidence, yet it is possible that Wher
the news that another great actor had
gone off by the o. P. exit a chill rel
down Comedian Kelly's spine and mad
him think about the uncertainty of FAM
before the footlights.
Sam Shaw, Anson's newest pitcher, ha
been mascot for Chicago. He won hi
first game against Washington, only fiv
hits being made off him. In his secont
only eleven hits in eleven innings, not
bad beginning for new man. He Gomez
from the Augusta GA club.
Pittsburg, Cleveland and Chicago hav
ong stretch of games at home befor
them, which they hope to improve b,
crowding up near the front. Chicag
has shown the greatest improvement Q
any of the weak clubs recently and he
games at home may put her in shape t.
be formidable. st. sLouis. too, may ge
back to old-time form with thirty three
games at home, IN which case some othe
clubs will have to fall behind.
