trouble between Mr. Won der Abe and ext
Manager Buckenberger over the salary
question Both President Won der Abe and
Manager Buckenberger are authority for
the statement that their financial matters
were adjusted in less than ten minutes;
that there was no sQuabble, no dlf1culty,
and no grounds for such insinuation.
Jim Calvin. the umpire, stated the other
day that in the twentyfour years he had
been connected with base ball he had never

the staff who has not fined a player one
cent.
While the Phllies were playing in Brook
Ign one critic declared that "Carsey pitched
In his usual careless. sloppy style" This
was doing Kid an injustice. His careless,
sloppy style is so in appearance only, due
to his cool, collected manner. and to his
nerve in taking chances. He takes more
chances with his slow ball and gets away
with it oftener than any pitcher in the
business.

this they cannot reach Louisville in time
so that the second battle and last with the
eastern clubs In the west will open with
five teams on each side.
The BaltimoreS have been putting up such
a creditable game that their admirers are
sadly disappointed to see that they cannot
take defeat manfully, but must play the
baby act-"the umpire robbed U.S."
