The Indianapolis News said beforehand:
Hank ODay has umpired excellent ball in
Minneapolis, and not the slightest sign of q
kick has been registered against one of his
decisions. 1t Is reported that he will be- trans
ferred to st. Paul for the series there next
week. II he is. the cranks there will have
spasms. for. with decent umpiring In st.
Paul, the champions will at least break even.
Uncle" Arson says the larger number Of
stolen bases now as compared with ten years
ago is not so much due to the superior de-
velopment OF judgment in running bases
it is to comparatively inefficient catchers.
Commenting upon the "Old Mans" opinion,
the Times-Star says: THE fact Is that base
runners do show better judgment In running
bases than they did formerly, In that they
take longer chances and get away with them.
The increased pitching distance over what 1t
was ten years ago also has helped base run
ming, IOr II gives the DaSe runner just the
least bit more time to get to the next base.
1t is hardly fair for Arson to compare the
catchers of today with Buck Ewing, who
was the greatest that ever lived and who was
head and shoulders over any man in his day"
Fifleld is being looked on with covetous
eyes by big leaguers.
George Hogriever' Of Indianapolis. is play
ing the game of his life. He is as unpopular
as a. gold bug at a free silver rally, but that
does not detract from the wonderful game he
is putting up-Detroit Free Press.
With Donnelly, Jennings, Reitz and Doyle
ranged around the diamond, the only kind of a
base hit possible should be one of the kind
that drops more than fifty feet outside the
grounds.-Baltimore News.
The Western association difficulties have
been patched up and the clubs will continue
for the balance Of the season, only Peoria will
be given month to get down salary list Of
not to exceed $500 month.
Young Nieklin gives such promise as bat
ter and hits the ball with such force that he
deserves to be nearer the top of the batting
list. He did not get a hit Thursday, but
scored once, after getting base on balls
and also hit line drive which Harry Davis
let go by him, sending In two runs, one of
which tied the score. He struck out yester-
day trying to get his base balls a second
t1me.-Louisville Elk.
Mcmahon has had peculiarly hard luck this
season, both as to winning games and with
MS individual batting. With one or two ex
ceptlons, one being in Chicago when he was
SICK, McMahon has pitched real CHAMPION
snip ball that ought to have won nine out
OF Ten games, and yet he has lost nearly as
many games as he has won. Either the club
gives MIN bad support 1t cannot bat. as
Ior example when he held the LouisyilIes
ooWn to four scattered hits and no earned
runs, ana yet lost the game.-Baltimore Sun
Van Derbeck wanted Preston. the Des
