Paul Radford made his Tooth hit Sat-

with total Of 423. His fielding average
Is .S91. He made as many errors in his
first ten games OF the season as he did in his
last twenty-six.
Rogers at short accepted six chances
| and made two hits out OF four times al
the bat. At least 1t seems that Louisville
has the right man in the right place.
Rogers did not ike the idea OF playing
short at first, but it lis said that he is
now satisfied there. he underrated his
ability to do good work at that point-

Third Baseman CHDgman. IN making a
hopeless slide TO home plate, spiked .Bridg-
et' Donohue's hand, and the wiry back
stop, interpreting the move TO be inten-
| tionaI, gave way to bis anger and struck
| the PROSTATE player. Clingman might hav 0
| been seriously dealt with by Dopohue had
| not the umpire and some players interfered.
| The catchers injuries are not serious, but
| will necessitate retirement for week or
| more. Kittridge will do all OF the back
| stopping until Donohue recovers.

A few weeks agoit was reported that Nc.
Creery would be traded for DeMontreville,
the Senator's shortstop. The report was

Gunnigle Louisville has "a good short
stop in Rogers and DeMontrcvilie is not
needed, especially il Tom McCreery is to
be given for him. The latter would not be
pleased with the consummation Of such a
deal, for the reason that he is not on speak
ing terms with the late unlamented Colonel,

Poor old washingtons! By being defeated

only little over u month ago were i'll fifth

along in tenth place for nearly the whole
season, with little hope OF getting out,

Even in his own home Frank Killen
found condemnation Under the line:
''Killen's Deserts theI, Pitssburg Press
declares editorlaily: The arrest OF tile
| pitcher who deliberately sd uck the unl-
pire in the face ut the fHmeiin Cincinnati
was quite the proper thing j Ball players
who have conceived the idea that law
does count on hail field and that'thet
have rights in the wayfef Committing as
sault and battery which ordinary people
do not possess, needed tast something like
Pitcher .Killen's exPeriehce'oye to
remind them of their error. Rowdyism on
the ball field is rapidly losing the sport
thousands of its best patrons. If an uni.
pire lacks Judgment. or II he is unfair, the
remedy lies In his Suspension The Gin
ciDnati police set an example worthy OF
general imitation. There hnve been visit
ing players at Exposition Park who richly
deserved the same thing as Killen."
Judge Gregg, of Cincinnati, is only one
of hundreds of thousands of baseball en-
thusiasts in the land, and in disposing Of
the case OF Frank KiIlen his lecture was
one that will be indorsed by every lover
of clean sport. The judge said: Not
| once, during the congregation OF the
thousands Of people at the grounds for the
last four years, has there been disorder
ly case in the audience brought into .ourt,
| and do not propose to tolerate disor-
derliness ON the part of the players An
occasion of this sort is liable to precipi
tate riot. 1t seems to me that players
should conduct themselves as gentlemen,
but If they do not, and make loafers of
themselves, the sooner it Is stopped the
better. 1 do not exempt Mr.. Laliy, and
do not know why he was not brought here
this morning. All have TO say is, II he
is not capable of using discretion in an
emergency of this character he should be
displaced; but he is not on trial this morn
ing. want the managers of the grounds
to thoroughly understand that these men
are playing for the entertainment Of the
people, and viii not tolerate any dis
orderly conduct on their part"
Tom Parrott ranks with Tom Dowd as
prime favorite with the fans of the Mound
City. The Chronicle says: with his ad-
vent to st. Louis Parrot became changed
man. He was tried in the outfield as a for
lorn hope, because there was no one else
to put there. He electrified the fans by nab
bing every ball that came into his garden,
