Base Ball Notes.
| Mercer and Nichols will probably do the
| pitching at Boston today
Jake Boyd pitched for Portsmouth yes
terday and won the game Norfolk MAX
| ing but five hits.
Washington is at their heels" ."-Phila-
What's become Of that sale-of-the -Cleve-
| laHd-club rumor?
Capt. Billy Joyce will find many old
| friends at the South End grounds during
| the next three games. Mercer, who has
the best pitching record Of the year, Is
with the Standardization Globe.
The fielding Of Jim Collins Is ahead Of
anything ever seen at third base Jerry
| Denney, Joe Mulvey and Billy Nash were
great, but never the equal Of the modest
| Buffalo boy.
Since Fred Pfeffer Joined Chicago that
club has won about two out Of every three
games. Anson has given his old lieutenant
charge of the inf1eld.
The New York club has an eye on a few
| or the New England League players.
Bali players who think only of salary
| day are not the real article for pennant
| teams.
Tom Brown the fleet footed Californian
the great favorite at the Congress street
grounds for two years, and a man who
gives tone to his profession. will be with
'Scrappy' Joyce and his 'phenoms.' "-Bos-
ton Globe.
Teams are evenly matched this year
that the management or handling of a
team counts more than ever. Teams should
play the game up to date all the time.
In less than two weeks Brooklyn has
been shut out four times. The club needs
hitters.
Arlie Latham's reign is over. He has
been put on the bench by Scranton, and
Jack y Brien, late Of the Rochesters put
| on third base
The Chicago captain says Willie Mer-
ritt Is a better catcher than when he had
| him. Well, rather.
Too many of the Philadelphia players are
playing for individual records Team work
Is entirely disregarded
Dad Clark pitches one good to three bad
| games. There is no certainty about his
work
Pfeffer is playing with all his old-time
brlillancy. Somebody must have made a
mistake about Pfeffer's condition.-Phila-
| delphla Inquirer. And Freedman was the
| somebody.
| Detroit Is making big money this year in
| the Western League $4,000 at least.
VIII Terry has sacrificed his mustache,
and is trying to prove that he is only
| thirty-two years old in August. William
| Joined the Brooklyn club fourteen years
ago. He knows the date WELL for in July
and August OF that year he gained twenty
five pounds.
''Washingtonians have never regarded
the Phlllies as cutters. but the visitors
with two three exceptions, created an
impression to that effect by their listless
work Monday says the Pittsburg Chron-
icle Telegraph. This is not fair to our
felders nor to Mercer. The latter pitched
great game. and the former fieided bril-
liantly-De Montreville. in particular. Other
teams may find the Phillies easy. Wash
ington did not.
supposing the Philadelphia management
should spend 10000 in buying two or three
new men. they would more than make 1t
up on the receipts in one day. A good
outfielder, an intielder and "a pitcher are
needed.-Ex.
Richards Cooley, the Browns left fielder,
who was sent home sick from the east
few weeks ago. reported today at Sports
man Park in good condition. He will be
sent on to Louisville at once to join the
team. Ven der Abe is doing everything in
his power to keep the team out Of last
place.
Topsey Lange got off good one at Joe
kelleys expense in the recent Baltimore
series. They were twitting, when Kelley
called Lange bundle of deceit and added
I'm glad I'm not two-faced." We'll. you
can't be- retorted Lange; Il don't know
what you'd do with another face tike that"
Ward, the Princeton player, who was to
join the Colonels in Cleveland, will not re-
rort The deal is off and the Colonels will
continue to play as they stand. Ward made
few demands that Manager McGunnigle
would not concede, and hence he will re-
main Tiger instead of becoming Colonel.
Ward has been playing great game at
short for Princeton.
McGunnigle thinks that he has the fast
est outfield in the league, and says that
fans will agree with him when they see
the Colonels play.
Big Sam Thompson is not only hitting the
ball hard, as usual, and continuing a ter
ror to all faint-hearted pitchers, but with
out any ostentation or noise he Is covering
a tremendous lot of territory in the Phillies
right garden. including not only a large
strip of foul territory, but about an acre Of
ground that naturally belongs to Center
Fielder Hulen. Grounders are Thompson's s
weakness, but he Is death to a high ball
There is another thing that Tebeau is
delighted over, and that is the fine work of
Cincinnati under the leadership of Buck
Ewing. Buck is friend Of mine" saws
him does the more it will suit me. l am
beginning to think that Cincinnati will be
| well up into it at the finish. The Reds
crippled as they are, have stood up we'll
Now every day is improving their chances
for Rhines and Foreman are fast getting
into condition to win games again"
Bill Indian" Everett carries a cane now
Bill was lucky enough to carry his feet
when he entered the league. What con-
trast one year after.
Anson vows that more bases are stolen
these days than five years ago, because the
catchcrs are poor lot Of throwers. Some
have strong arms, but are affected with
slowness in getting the ball away. The old
man declares that Buck Ewing used to
| toss the ball in front of the plate, give q
| man a chance to start and then throw him
| out without any trouble. These days no
| man can come near play of this kind.
THE BIG BICYCLE PARADE.
1t is Proposed to Hold 1t ON the
Night of July II.
