burys, IL another MIrply In build, and, like
him, an eX-collegian.
BASEBALL ia having big loon In Con
necticut. wnere they playel the game we'll

Ir's not always so easy to replace the old
time ball players with youngsters. Take the
case of Glasscock, for instance.
TAYLOR, oftho Pailadelphias, is one OF tho
few real star pitchers this season, although
little fuss Is made about him.
CApr,IS NASH. OF Boston, makes very little
fuss Tor man who has held u team In the
front OF the race for the last four years.
NEXT year the catcher alone will DO nj.
lowed TO wear big mits. TIE other players
will have to get along with felders' gloves
BRErrESsrEtS, OF 81. Louis. weighs but
| 1i1 pounds. though his arm Is as full OF
speel as the heavyweights, Rusie ani
| Stivetts.
The Baltlmorcs have. unloub tedly, made
| rapid progress in head work. Their team
work * excellent, ami almost equal TO that
| OF Boston.
GtAsscocK, the shortstop released by Pitts.
burg. announces that he will never play ball
again. He will manage team at wheeling
! W. Va, next year.
THAT good batting makes good fielding IL
| shown by the fact that the fielding standard
has been raised, and he must now be u SUI
! perlor player. in Iced, who can hold his Own
| in League company.
The greatest number of fielding chances
| accepted by single outtleldnr last season
/ was by Brown, OF the Louisvilles, who had
| 377 Ii Is expected that several records will
beat that this year, partly because OF the
| heavier batting.
| SAYS the Hawaiian Gazatte Tho Crescents
resigned from the League yesterday, an |
baseball in Honolulu will probably take u
sudden drop. This action was taken be.
cause the knmehamehas refuse TO call last
Saturdays game draw.
BALTIMORE leads the League In fielding an |
ranks second in batting. Few of the players
who betrayed the Players League have had
| any luck since aud most OF them have driftei
into obscurity This season Ewing, Clark
son and Glasscock received their reward.
THERE is n movement among the respecta.
bic baseball players against being compelled
to associate 6y'I th1e rowiy element in the
meeting .Iii~ undoubtedly be calle UPON TO
take some radical Legislation on the subject.
THIS has been great baseball year in
Baltimore. Interest has been maiptatnet
there as II has In no other League city, with
| the possible exception OF New York, and 70
day Is at a higher pitch than II has been
since the team left for its Southern practice
| trip IN Marcn.
A PECULIAR accident happened to Ernest
Woods, the eighteen -year-old pitcher OF tho
Whitestone Athletic Club, at Whitestone, N.
Y. Woods delivered "A swift ball, and imne-
diatelv his arm fell limp TO his ssie. An
examination developed the fact that his ar N
was broken above the elbow.
STrvErr's biceps measure seventeen
inches. His arm is u muscular monstrosity
and physicians who have examine him say
he will last longer than any pitcher In tho
history ottho game. The Boston pitcher,
however, IL not In love with his work. II.
says he prefers playing the ousheli.
WHEN the baseball sharp begins 10 size up
the surprises OF the season OF 1894 he won't
be impressed 50 much BY the supsrb show
ing OF Baltimore rs he will by the unex-
pected drop OF Cleveland ani Pntsburg. 0i
their 1898 form 1t wasn't apparent how they
could fail TO beamons the first three In 1891,
and yet Pittsburg will have 10 hustle 10 get
| into the first DIVISION.
