President Hart OF Chicago wants to start
next season without having to make any
experiments in the pitching department or
in any of the other positions. He says
that was the chief fault of the team at the
start this season, and with half as good
luck as the club has had this year, the
position it occupies this time next year VIII
be a good one. There will be no more
worry over that weak spot at second base.
and the pitchers, IL they start right. will
be as good as any N the league next year.
The Cincinnatis continue to win games.
Their signal victory over the Cieyelands
Yesterday shows that they are not to be
overlooked when possible pennant winners
are being considered. The fight now seems
TO be between them and Baltimore, though
the Spiders are capable of making heart
breaking finish as they did last season.

way, and does not tolerate much back talk
from the players. Once yesterday while
Donohue was at the bat he called a bail on
one that vert past the batter's face.
What's tho matter with that?" asked

are having extra police, and such folderol,

much, when being made the targets for
every team In the League. don't blame
