Pitcher Burt Abbey lately of the Chica-
gos, and formerly of the Washingtons, will
probably be secured to play in Brooklyn.
Abbey did not make very good showing
in Chicago. and it is said, the Colts placed
very little confidence in him when he oc-
| cupied the box. Now that the Pittsburg
club has suspended Tom Kinslow, they are
on the hunt for backstop, and it is learned
| that the Brooklyn club will help the Pirates
out. It is likely either Con Daily or Burrell
will be released to Pittsburg for money
col. sideration.
Several New York base ball writer's are
clamoring for the return of John Mont
gomery Ward to the Giants as manager,
captain and second baseman Ward seems
to be willing enough to get back into the
harness, and 1T will now be a race between
himself and AL. Buckenberger- to see which
one will get into President Freedman's good
graces far enough to get the position.
Pittsburg fans are busy berating Man
ager Connie Mack because he let Pitcher
Gus weighing go without trial. Mack has
experimental with several alleged phenoms
since, with disastrous results.
Such a game as the Senators put up yes
terday will win nine times out of ten Bal
tfmore won by little good luck, but the
Senators played rafting ball. If Mr.. Wag-
ner keeps the team he has and develops
team work he need fear no other team in
the league. But any more experiments will
do more harm than good.
The trouble between Won der Abe and
Buckenberger started in the east. when

Ahs. After Clarkson pitched a losing game

suspension, and this Buckenberger refused.
Then Won der Abe insisted on Clarkson be-
ing traded TO Baltimore. Clarkson did not
do a thing but defeat the Browns the first

berger to fine Shortstop Fred Ely s25 for
dropping a fly ball which let In the three

would be in order. Buckenberger resigned

yesterday and was taken to his home on
the North Side. where he will be laid UP
for two weeks at least. He was charged
with spil2g Park Wilson IN recent game

spiked him.
Jack" Glasscock is doing great work
for Washington. If he had Joined them
sooner they would hold a much better po-
sition, as the Senators have lost many
a game at short.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
Sam Thompson must be very near the
leading batsman in the league. 1t takes
Sam some time to get started. but when
he does, look out for him.
The Mahoney brothers of the Georgetown
College nine have had several offers from
the National League, but they will not
play professional ball.
Rusie and Meekin will both be able to
play during the Brooklyn series. This will
add great strength to the "Giants."
Anson's men always play great ball at
home. Cleveland appears to be their only
Jonah"
Scott Stratton" is again pitching for
Chicago. He is one of the best batting
pitchers in the league.
