In the first Brooklyn game, Joyce had
an occasion t o address Umpire Lynch about
a decision and called him Tom" You

The report that Joyce laced Jimmy
McJames for allowing Tom DAILY 10 make
triple off him with the bases full is
probably without foundation. Joyce re-
quires good work from his men on the field
but is not given to the habit OF finding fault
with them publicly or humliating them
before an audience. The truth. perhaps, is
that ''Scrappy'' told Jimmy that 1T was all

Mercer, III the absence Of AL. Maui, is
doing the Berry Well act on the trip.
"Merce," as the boys call the brunette,

man with millions to burn than a baseball
pitcher at So, 400 year.
Just before the beginning of the game on
opening day at Brooklyn Dave FoutZ and
Charley Abbey were fronting the grand
stand: What do you think of that crowd
of fairies?' proudly asked Dave, as he
glanced up at the sea of feminine faces.
pretty good showing for Greater New
York. replied Abbey, but your ladies

Then Charley glanced toward the south and
softly whistled There is only one girl in

bassador of Abbey at the dinner table
''What is the plain United States for such
word? Joyce says it means yuberdam.'
Abbey told the Baron that the papers were
throwing bouquets at him and not to worry
about the adjective Then Selbach re-
sumed the discussion of big cut of roast
beef and remarked to Varney Anderson:
Say, that Abbey is pretty shrewd guy
OH book stuff, amt hep
Baron Selbach needs to be a leetle more
cautious when on bases. A takes deSper-
ate chances when the occasion does not
justify. He lost O couple of runs in the
| first Brooklyn game by getting too gay.
The press accommodations at the Brooklyn
park are very meager. And the City of
Churches; strange to say, possesses the most
| inhospitable aud selfish lot OF baseball
reporters that do business in a League city
! A visiting newspaper repr esentatiye is
| looked upon as an intruder and can only

| strange land and reflects most seriously
| upon the good manners OF the Brooklyn
boys who in this matter stand alone in
! their showing of selfiShness and lack of

Of the Baltimores that he might have day
10 look over some talent In the New

Donneliy would be retained in any event
