Notes.

Johnny White tied the ilwaukee-Ka
sas City game Tuesday with a home run
hit over the fence. he is playing right
field for the Growers
Pitcher Borchers has been released by
Milwaukee and that team expects TO be
able to finish the season with BarneS'
Rettger and Jones as the pitching force.
1t pays TO keep a winning combination
together. If the Baltinores take the pen
nant again this year it will be with practi-
cally the 1885 team, only two changes nav
ing been made.
Catcher Kittridge, who has a badly swol-
len arm. is under treatment at the New
York Hospital. The doctors at the hospital
say that the Chicago catcher was poisoned
by an insect and Will not De able 10 iea7e
his bed for two weeks.
Arthur Ball hurt his knee in sliding to
third base in one of the games With Mil
waukee and now it is feared that the
clever infielder will be obliged to retire for
a time when he is badly needed. Preston
can play the infield, however. Louisville
used him for a time.
Gettinser. OF Grand Rapids. has injured
his leg a second time through playing be-
fore the member was really well, ana now
il is certain that he will play no more bail
tanned OF his ever playing again. as IL Is
his knee cap that Is injured.
Pitcher Johnston. of st. Paul. is farmed
to Winona- where he is doing clever work
and is very steady, only allowing eight
bases on balls in the last five games. III

haired youth back TO the fold.
Comiskey is a baseball general and a
good talker as well, and when he told the
ST. Paul newspaper men that the saints
We'll "commy" knew What he was talking
about IS apparent in the result of the
| series. The old leaguers must be cutters,
| and when Comiskey made that statement
he made no mistake
There is more hard luck in store for the
nl-.- n a. xtAl 49, 00o
i erse AGAIN nndPI hif fpps E VII be n Mieh game n again
by the time the Hoosiers reach Kansas City.
If the Blues could ever catch the Hoosiers
crippled like they have been in the past
two or three weeks, Manning's colts might
get a game or two more from them; 1t
every time that they were in the very best
condition.-Kansas cry Star.
The champions iett for Kansas City yes
terday noon and Will open there this after
Sunday night for, Milwaukee and after
three games with the Brewers VIII invade
the great Northwest and tackle Minneap,
oils and St. Paul. Davis went along and
expects to be able to pitch again next
week. Williams also accompanied the
finger heals sufficiently the latter will join
the team at Milwaukee next week.
Manager Manning and the Blues re-
turned home this morning after a rather
disastrous trip through the Northwest. and
the best he expects now is TO hnlsh as
good as third place. Every effort TO
strengthen the team with National League
players has proved a failure and the only
addition he has been able to make is the
signing of pitcher Andersen of the Mime
apolis team, who Will he here this even
ing TO join the Blues. The team, he says,
is in good condition at present. and he ex-
poets them to put UP a good game during
the present home series. Knell and King
are in frst-cIass condition n Callahan,
VINO has been working pretty hard, will be
! given u rest until the Indianapolis team
| strikes here on Friday. He will pitch two
games against the Hoosiers. and he is OF
the opinion that he will win both. Ander-
son Also will be saved for the indianapolis
games.-Kansas City Star.
