BETWEEN THE BASES.

| The Western League season ends tomOr-
row afternoon.
Hamilton has Passed the century mark
in bases ON balls.
Pitcher Nichols still has a clean fielding
record. He has taken part In fifty-oDe
| games.
| There is a rumor going tue rounds that
| Fred Pfeffer will play second base for
| st Paul next year.
Comiskcy claims he will put more money
into his team next year, and also states that
| hc will have no trouble makers on the roll.
Third Baseman Sheibeck, OF indianapolis.
| is out of the game On account of ragged
playing Schaub is playing in his place and
| dong nicely
Think of it. Comiskey got Charlie Irwin
| from Anson for almost nothing, and now
| Cincinnati has refused $4,000 for him
| This was another OF the old mans mistakes.
A Reader is advised that the owners Of
| the Washington Baseball Club have no
power over the umpire after the game is
| begun. That individual has exclusive CON
tfol OF the situation.
Jimmy Collins made a lucky stike-ont
for Boston yesterday. Catcher Grim missed
the third strike and Collins beat his throw
to first base, after which Boston made
three runs and won the game.
IIargrove, the substitute outficlder, whom
Manager Hanlon got from Norfolk the eth,:r
day, is suffering from a large boi, on his
arm, or he would probably have beeun play
ing ill some of the recent games.
II will be remen bered that when Decker
WI S hurt in this city it was given out that
his left arm was broken. Since his return
to Chicago the injured member 'sas exam
ined. md IL was found to be broken in two
places.
One OF the major league pitchers against
whom Dame Fortune seems to nurse q
special grudge,is Harper of the Grnoms.
Harper has good curves and speed, and a
clever croSs-rire bali, but somehow or other
the Grooms cannot bat or field behind him.
Baltimore leads the League in club bat
ting. Cincinnati is third in this respect,
and still leads in fielding.
Speaking of the failure Of the Philadcl-
phia club to secure the left-haDdcd pitcher,
Nops, Treasurer Won der Horst, of the
Baltimore club, said that it was simply
a matter of money. The Philadelphia club,
c added, could have got the man. but he>i-
tated until Baltimore rushed in and secured
him. Philadelphia squealed. philadelphia
got left, as it deserved. and has no claim
upon tue maD.-Boston Herald.
Pitcher Cuppy, Baltimore's greatest hoo
doc, will most likely not be able to pitch
in the Temple Cup games. During yes
terday's Cincinnati Cleveland game he
got in the way of a hot ball which struck
him on the pitching hand and tore it
open between the thumb and forefinger.
The injury was dressed, but everything
points to Mr.. Cuppy's not being able TO
twirl the ball again before next season.
The fact that Frank and Johnny Foreman,
two brothers, who have bee II pitching in the
big league, are, respectively, right and left
ha lded causes remark to the effect that |
such curious pair OF brothers has beeH
seen before in the baseball business Leon
Viau was right -handed-his brother Phil |
throws with the south wing. One Of the |
numerous Sowders family was le fl anded- |
the others risht-handed Inks, the we'll |
known left ha nder, has brother of good |
ability. who is right handed.
The suggestion offered by Ned Hanlon, |
manager of the Baltimores, to protect the |
umpires next season is good one Hanlon, |
in Chicago this fall, will offer an al, end |
ment TO the rule governing the filming of |
players by ur pireS The present rule gives |
the umpire full authority To fine a pIaycS |
for unnecessary kicking, anei then { the g. |
fense is repeated, to remove him from the |
game. Hanlon's suggestion is to give the |
umpire full authority to remove any un- |
ruly player from the field for the first |
offense, unless the umpire has misinter |
preted one Of the rules and the PLAYER |
wishes to call his attention to the error.
John ]. Carney, manager of the Grand |
Rapids team, has accepted an offer made |
him by James Manning, and willncxt season
befirStbasemaD, captain andmanager of the |
Kansas City team. The salary offered him
is in excess of any salary paid Western
league manager in the history of the League.
Carney and Manning will meet at Detroit
at the close of the present series, and will
at that time make arrangements for team |
for next season. Carney will be authorized
to go ahead and select players without re-
gard to cost, and a peDnant winning team
will be gotten together. Carney had offers
from Grand Rapids, Milwaukee and syra-
cuse, but accepted the Kansas City offer
as being the bes. financially.
The champion Orioles held meeting
yesterday TO arrange about the division
ofthe Temple Cup money. TheregularpIay-
ers divide up share and share alike Cor
bett and Bowerman divide one share be-
tween them. Joe Quinn comes In for
full share, which is certainiy very lib
eral arrangement. Corbett, Pond aud Nops
will probably pitch the Temple Cup games
and Nops will be allowed $50 for each
game he pitches. The managers OF the club
have giv1n the boys their time after they
