the League 70 make 100 hits also the FIRST
TO make his 200th.
CATCHER TKSSEY, OF Boston, throws left
handed. He is one OF tho few prominent
backstops that do.
One Of the surprises OF the season is the
great game that Lschance, OF Brooklyn, hos
played at first base.
vAN HALrnks IL the only member OF the
Now iorks who participated In every game
played BY that team.
Ir 10 reported that the Boston team will

machine on the electric principle which. he
says, will register balls and strikes correctly
and conflno the umpires work to decisions
on tho bases.
The pitching record Ct the season shows
that the lei,-handed ltwirlers have been
handicapped more than tho right-handers
by the pitching rules. Breitenstein, OF ST.
Louis, is the only notable exception.
The flrst and second clubs in the Leapus
race play series OF seven games for the
Temple cup. The players receieve all the
gate money, and II Is estimated that this VIII
amount TO between s7o0 and $500 for each
man.
IT was undoubtedly the increased pitching
distance that caused the batting TO be as
heavy as II has been this season. Some OF
the suffering pitchers are slyly advocating
the curtalling OF the distance between the
"box" and the plate. II will not be done
