McGuDnigle appreciates the fact that the

Paddep, the Pittsburg second baseman,
| recently recalled from the Toronto farm
| is filling Louie Bierbaaer's place in good
shape, but is hitting poorly.
| Earle Wagner is not phased when he
sees his club losing. But when they win
the oddity of the occurrence causes him to

Billy Hart says that "the reason that
pitchers do not hit the ball oftener than
they dois because one pitcher pitches harder
| against another than against any other
player" %
The Baltimore Herald very wisely re-
marks: Charley Farrell of the Senators, is
altogether too slow for third baseman
| He seems to find difficulty in STOPPING for
| grounders.
Uncle Arson and his Colts are playing
hari-kari with Cineinnati's pennant aspira-
| tions The Colts shut out the Reds Tues
| day and fought them to a 8 to tie
| yesterday.
Umpire Lally is to Cincinnati what UNI
pirc Belts is to Baltimore. Each is a great
favorite in his respective city, because the
| home club is liable to win most of the games
on its own grounds.
Yesterday was Baltimores second shut
out. The first time was at Louisville on
the first trip. McDermott was the wirler
who turned the trick. In that game,
strange to say, Jennings one error let in
the only run.

Hanlon's crew ne would soon be a star.

Though Earle Wagner is said to be on
the hunt for new players, there are said TO-
be people in existence who think that the
personnel of the club is all right and that
change in the methods of play now In
vogue would help ma tiers Baltimore News
Professional baseball in small towns is
on the wane The Cumberland Valley
League has now disbsnded. 1t is estimat,
ed that from $15, 900 to $4,000 were spent
two months Of fast baseball that they en-
joyed. Each manager is said to have fin
ished several hundred dollars short, ex.
cept Chambersburg.
The percentage of 700, which the Balti
more club reached yesterday In the cham
pionship race, is the highest ever attained
by the Baltimore club. Even in 1884 the
champions failed to reach 700 by few
poitns and this time last season they were
more than 100 points short of the 200
mark Cincinnati reached roo short
time ago, but quickly dropped under that
| figure again.
The Washington outfieldcrs made several
brilliant runs for flies in their territory.

Cincinnati is getting to be the worst
city In the country for rows. There
was another disgraceful incident in Sun

the worst of it all through the game.
