Bostous, has a great fielding average SO
far this year. lie has yet to make an

Tommy McCarthy is said to be casting
longing eyes toward Cleveland. 1t did not
take him long to tire OF his berth in
Brook yn.
The crowd in front Of The Times bull
letin board checred when the final score
was posted, showing that Scrappy had W on
from SchmelZ.
The Cincinnati Reds were the last IN the
League To submit to a shutout this season
and the papers in Ewingsville take great
pride in the record.
Joe Sullivan has almost entirely recov-
cred from his sickness and will be able to
resume his position In the Browns DItficid
in a few days.
In case Baltimore should release Nc
Mahon he would have no trouble catchingon
elsewhere. His habit OF coming In at the
finish will be remembered.
Captain O. Tebean has again aired his
views on the Lea que race OF 1895. He
thinks Boston and Cincinnati will fight it
out for third place. Knowing fellow Is
Fat.
Tebeau is having his troubles. There
are so many men in the team who are
candidates for the bottom position in the
batting order that he does not know which
one to put there.
Herman Long may figurein an eXchange
after all. Selee fancies one OF the Louis
vile outfielders, though he doesn't say
which one, and is willing 10 exchange Long
for an outfielding Colonel.
Who started all this baseball trouble?
We pauze for a reply, Mr.. Wagner. Weren't
we getting along swimningly and was
not everybody happy until The Texas
Steer was turned out to Craze?
Rumors are flying around thick and fast
that there is going to be shake-up OF the
Brooklyn team. President Byrne says he
knows OF no such scheme; so there is prob

same time is unfortunate and bandicaps the
team very much. but IL is doubtful IT any
change can be made for the better just now.

over the exchange OF Joyce for Farrell that
J. Earl Wagner has come out with the fol-
lowing excuse, i'll the endeavOr to square
himself for making the deal: Mr.. Wagner
takes upon himself the entire responsibility
Of the trade by which Charley Farrell
and Carney Flynn became Senators and
Joyce became New Yorker. Mr.. Wag-
ner said that he had heard OF revelries
i'll which Joyce and several other pla yers
took part, but which Joyce denied. He

Mr.. Wagner, and satisfied myself that
joyce, as a manager, was Fad, dismal

employed all the players lie desired, in
Guiding O'Bren, and yet his work was
going from bad 10 worse. DisSnsion had
come into the club. The harmony that
' existed for many seasons was gone, and
the alternative was forced upon me TO
make change or stand by and see the
hard work OF several players go for Daught.'
And that is the way Joyce VIII run things
in New Accommodated
At this time Joyce's name leads all the
rest in the papers published in the league
circuit Glance at the baseball para graphs
and you are sure TO see some mention OF
the New YORK captain. He is unique

thousands OF dollars To Il club during
season for his advertising qualities alone.
His sobriquet OF "Scrappy BIZ attracts
large audiences wherever he plays and
for a has been" as Messrs. Wagner & Co
have called him. he is worth his weight
in gold at the turnstile.
