DIAMOND DUST.
Gliding the gutter.

That Louisville cherry pie" soured.
Has Brooklyn got cards up the sleeve
also?
And the poor down-trodden Giants are
right on our heels.
With toc.ay Eastward the Senatorial
star will traverse its way.
The Senators travel today and will ope..
at Brooklyn for three games tomorrow
afternoon.
1t might not be such a good idea n fter ali
to have the Senators play out The schedule

Grady had three hits, Including two
doubles. Trade him off? We'll we guess
not.-Phiiadelphia Record.
The Phiilies may not be pennant win
ners, but they killed considerable OF Te-
beau's aspirations Saturday.
The Times has said all along that the
Senators needed more pitchers. p. s.
And more infielders and outfielders who
can hit the bali.
scrappy and his band could probabiy
improve their batting by practicing in tl,.
Columbia Athletic club'stenn tournament.
Oh, well. let'slayit all on Belts.
We hope the Senators wont stop off at
some Jay town today and let an amateur
club beat them in an exhibition game.
But we are prepared for the worst.
Philadelphia has secured another new
pitcher In Coleman, late of the Jefferson
City, Mo, team The young man was
tried by st. Louis last year and promises
to be conner.
Nike Tiernan had a batting average of
1000 for the two games at Pittsburg
Saturday and yet some people have the
temerity to say shat the old original
Giant Is a has been.'
Wonder IL we couldn't arrange it some
how to get scrappy and his band into the
Virginia League for the balance of the
season. They appear to have no chance
in their present company. Louisville not
excepted.
Hereafter the baseball writers out West

soft marks" and the like. The penalties
imposed on losing ball club are worse than
crown OF thorns.'
The directors OF the Louisville Baseball
Club at a recent meeting showed their
confidence in Manager McGunnigle by
voting to give him fu.l and absolute au-
thor.ty to strengthen the team wherever
he saw that it was needed, and TO place
at his disposal for this purpose a reason
able amount OF money.
They had me guessing this time year
ago." says Uncle Anson. II had 81, 700 in
bets that the Colts woul finish in the first
division We were looking backward and
drifting toward the Louisville goal and
my friends were giving me the Giggle, but
our luck changed ana landed that 81 700.
1t takes luck as well as ability TO win
games and without that combination you
aren't worth deuces. or course the public
doesn't look at it in that light. All they
see is results
Ed Mexican left his So 600 diamond, his
$3,b0O watch and 81 cents in change in
the players room after Wednesdays game.
When he discovered it he was half way
home and he became SO excited that II took
four policemen to hold his hat, but he re-
covered the property Cleveland Plain
Dealer. You should have said also that |
Mckean's hat cost $500, and that each |
OF the four ''cops'' were heavily bonded |
by a trust company. When you are in the |
Munchansen business don't overlook a bet |
or go shy on the Cost OF a ''sky piece |
a $3, 500 watch.
The Pittsburg club sprang surprise |
on Its patrons Saturday afternoon, when |
IT announced the trade OF Firstbaseman |
Reckley for Harry Davis of the New York |
club. Manager Mack said: Davis will l
play first 1t was an even-up deal There |
was no money in it," Jake Beckiey was |
indignant over the deal. Said he: "They |
told me nothing about it until II was made. |
iuch Lbey gave me the oinky ulnk. just
bad nice home fixed up this week. This. |
is the first season 1 have had hard luck, |
ana when IL came to me they threw me /
down. wish the boys all the luck in the |
world, but think 1 got raw deal"
Beckley has been batting poorly this sea-
son, and the mana cement gave him rest |
in hopes OF an Improvement, but it accom-
plished nothing. In the series with Baltimore
he was thoroughly flustered against Es-
per's pitching, and, swinging at bad balls,
was Missed. This broke him up so badly
that the management decided on a change.
Before leaving Pittsburg Manager Han
ion took occasion to explain to newspaper
man his position on the trouble between
the League and the Cleveland club over the
Tebeau matter. He said that while such
conduct az the pla yer named is saidto have
induiged in should be punished severely,
a man of President Robison's standing in
the League should have been treated with
more consideration than he was. Robson
should have been given chance to defend
liismana ger. This, he says, was not done,
and IL the directors should do with one OF
his players as the had done with membe,
OF the Cleveland club, he would have taken
the same stand as Robson has, Manager |
HanlOn said Robson was a prince among |
the magnates and intimated that he /
would come out all right. As member
OF the rules committee, Manager Hanlon /
