Griffith gave the Beaneaters only seven
hits yesterday. while the Colts took nine
teen off Stivetts and Nichols.
Red Foreman kept the. Senator's ten
hits so scattered they yielded but three
runs. He also struck out seven men.
Dolan has proved a valuable find for Bos-
ton. and has won larger percentage of
games than any other one of the Boston
twirlers.
Louisville is not likely to let Cunningham
go just at present. 1t is possible that later
in the season Manager Watkins may secure
his last years twirler.
Just imagine the disgust Of Pittsburg
fans" when they heard the news from Bal
timore. The Pirates shut out, with Hawley
pitching, What Waterloo.
The Giants were shut out by the Spiders
yesterday i'm one of the most evenly-played
games of the season. But for Van Hal
tren's error no runs might have been scored
by either side.
In two games yesterday Sam Thompson
scored five runs and made six hits that
netted eight bases. Clements. Turner. Hall
man, Delehanty and other Phiilies also
hit the ball with good effect.
Pitcher Hawley. of Pittsburg. who start
ed out this season the greatest ''phe-
nom' that ever tossed a ball across the
plate. has lost his grip. The Orioles yes
terday warmed him for sixteen hits.

minutes.
Jacob Pincus the American trainer of
the Croker-Dwyer horses now in Eng
land, has been granted divorce from his
wife. an English woman whom he married
in September. 1894. on the ground of her
infidelity.
Cross will probably pitch at Toledo to-
day and Petty will likely do the tw.rling
for Carney's men. Excursions are to be
run from surrounding towns for both to-
crowds are expected.
indianapolis will probably have Sullivan
here before another week has gone by If
he proves to be the equal OF Fisher or Cross
Manager Watkins will have no trouble Civ
ing the other seven clubs his dust during
the remainder of the season.
Gil Hatfield has failed TO make a hit in
the last three games. and Klusman has only
one TO his credit in the same time. That
sort OF thing can't last much longer, and
when they do break the hoodoo, both men
will make up for lost time.-kansas City
Star.
Colonels weighing and Cunningham were
easy targets for the Quakers yesterday.
on the former they got nineteen hits for
total of twenty-nine bases. besides nine
bases on. balls, and off the latter they
secured twenty-three hits. yielding thirty
bases, and four bases on balls.
Billy Gray, the latest acquisition TO the
| Swamp Angels. played third base for In
dianapolis last season I'm great form. He

naturally belongs. Gilks. Hogriever and
Hartman will be quite an Improvement over
the present trio.-kansas City Star. Well,

meet again for five games-two at Toledo

Tonight at Elwood. Dan Mcleod meets
Bert Scheller in a catch-as-catch-canm match.
| AS Mcleod offered TO throw Schcller five
! times in an hour recently, a proposition the
