Senators will beat Boston out in the race
this year. Capt. Joyce is certainly handling
his team in fine style this season, and will
force all hands to keep playing good hail

aggressive Lender, and full OF ideas about
baseball. Someor his coinpa risoDs, W whendis-
cussiDg the fine points OF the game, would
make rich reading. Joyce has no bei;c-

II have never seen Amos Rusie's like as
pitcher, says jim Mcclure. "Rusie had all
the requirements of twirler-sp speed, COM

as the speedy ball of tie average pitcher.

than the batsmen. That is why he retired
so many men after two or three balls and
no strikes were called on him. And yet
they would tell Us that he is forgotten.
Why, Charley Radbourn, Buffinton, Tom
