Good boy, Genie; in our wealth OF woe and

cooling spring In the Sahara, which spreads
before us and that seemingly has no oasis
in the vista.
The veteran George Wood OF this city, like
the rest of the Atlanta players, lost sia
weeks salary through the disgraceful
failure OF the Atlanta club. Pitcher Nortoi
OF the Senators also suffered financially
by the une expected collapse OF the Georgia
crackers.
Dick Padden, Pittsburg's new second
baseman, Is peculiar sort of fellow
He can fiud more amusernen in going about
gazing into store windows than sitting
in the hotel discussing baseball. Dick
spends most of his spare time in looking
In windows.
Just listen at the "reckIessuess'' of
Jake Morse Of the Boston Herald. During
one OF his added moments under the ho,
wave pressure he said: III the Boston,
had but one more seasoned pitcher tbeil
chances for a shy at the Temple cup series
would be increased hundred-fold."
The CIevelands now have almost half a
nine of Mes. McKeaD, NcGarr, HcAieer
and AcAIlister What a list they will make
in the batting order. Warrington comes
next in this line with NcJames, MCGUIRE
and AcAuley. And the Mos all seem to
he pretty good men, ,too.--Boston Traveller
Manager-Captain scrappy Bill and bis
new band have cinch on ninth place. and
are moving on Philadelphia 3 breast works
with a doggedness that warrants the as
.sertion that New York will usurp the
eighth notch before another week has
rolled around.
Billy McGill, the erstwhlIe "boy won
der" pitcher, says this will be his last
season in baseball, as he has an offer of
a cierkshtp in the passenger department of
a railway, and will accept it after the reg
uiar baseball season. viii you be good
then, Willie, and quit patroniztng paint
stores and coffin rarDish caravansaries?
They have q peculiar baseball audi
ence in Cleveland. The crowd starts out
to root good and hard for the home team
but IL the visitors get q lead, instead OF
keeping up their cries OF encouragement
they shift over to the other side. And
there are other such audiences at Wash
ington. for instance, since scrappy Joined
the Giants.
Capt. Patsy Tebeau played short for
his Spiders yesterday, and made the good
record OF seven put outs, five assists, with
only one error. Such a player as Tebeau is
worth his weight IN gold" and NO wonder
President Robson. Of Cleveland, sticks 10
him in fair or foul weather like porous
plaster. Would that Washington had him
to guide the Senators.
Time indeed werks its changes with
ball players. In ISS4-96 Big Jack Tay-
Ior was the idol OF the Philadelphia press
and public. Then he was ranked with
Rusis, Young and Mcmahon. ifit were not
true that the fans OF the Quaker City rated
him the premier pitcher OF the land. But
what change! The Philadelphia Record
of yesterday said: "Ta yior was hooted as
he walked across the field after the game.
The crowd thought he had refused 10 go
in and pitch, but such was not the fact.
Although he did not want to go in when
Hailman first asked him, he was willing to
relieve Gumbert. Nash saw that the game
was lost, SO gave Jordan chance
A dispatch from Louisville says: THE
Louisville club has set about strengthening
for next year. Two new players have
been signed and it has been decided TO
draft Pitcher Denzer of st. Paul If he can
be bought this season. The new men are
Third Baseman Pickering. with batting
average OF .464 and Left Fielder Dclau

Louisville, Rogers going back TO first
Dolan will be utility fielder and If fast
enough may become a regular player,
giving a chance to trade Clarke or Nc
Creery for a star tnfielder.
The westerners are throwing bouquets
at one another anent the landing OF
the league pennant. OF the chances of
Patsy and Buck to win the coveted
silken trophy, the Cincinnati Tribune says:
Talking about Tebeau, II he canno: win
the penuant, there isn't q club in the
league whom he would rather see succeed
than the Cincinnatts. Now, Patsy has
never been petted in this city; he has never
been what might be called favorite, and,
perhaps, it isn't SO qlucb on account of the
city as on Buck Ewfng's account that the
Reds are his second choice for the cham
pionship. Be that al It may, Cincinnatians
are not one whit less loyal to their State
and IL the flag caunot be unfurled out on
Western avenue, by all means let it adorn
that steel Flagstaff IN tbe Cleveland park.
But all the time the Baitimores are going
to be dangerous to BOTH
"The freeh ballplayer still exists, but
he is not as maletolent as OF yore." said
an old time fan who keeps close tab on the
game. 81 remember howtKid Peoples
once was in q depot awaiting his train,
when he CHANGED to spy q baldheaded man
asleep In Q chair. Peoples went over to
a
pie. Then, with q wild yell of Why don't
the pie down on the bald head and there
came near being murder in the depot
before the pol ice could resto re order.
And Peoples today Is as quiet and par
iianentafv in his behavior as u lamb on
dress parade. The old-timers you meet
in the profession Dow-Anson, Terry, Pref
fer, Thompson and their like-are full OF
a stately, mellow courtesy, acquired i.o1
long association with men of excellent
merit. The youngsters want to be like
these veterans and are as seDtemanly as
anyone could desire. Rowdies? No, ttey
are practically extinct. McGraw, O'Brien,
Doyle, Tebeau and others are accused
of rowdyish conduct, but it Is only on
the field with them and case OF too
ardent desire to win games. Every one
of them is courteous, weiLbehaved young
man off the field. Did you ever hear OF
Patsy Teheau or John McGraw being
hauled up in court for being drunk or
engaging In the slightest disorder"
