There is one thing in being strict and an
other in being autocratic. Tom Lynch goes to
the extreme. His work eat the Polo grounds
has not been Of the best. Perhaps, like the
players, he is not in form yet.-New York

Flynn has been farmed ,out to Quincy, and
will join Monroe as Soon as Mcfarland
and Mccarthy are able to go into the game
The cranks realize that the club can not carry
SO many players, but for all that they would
like to see the little fellow remain in In
dianapolis. He has developed into one Of
the best outielderss in fhe league. and the
management may regret the selection of an
outfeld before the season Is over If he is per-

"The most Indifferent ball player I ever
met is Jimmy Ryan, Of IL. the Chico Chicago team, !"
after Jimmie aped his blase ways, and the
result is that Uncle Arson has pretty
refractory stable of Colts. Jimmy did a
funny thing once In a game between the
Senators and Colts in Chicago In 1895. In the
las q had load NJ four
runs when the Colts took their last turn at
bat. Ryan, who was at the tail end Of the
batting order when the Colts came to bat for
the last time walked off the field to the
three men on the bases, with two out, and it
was Ryan's turn at bat. Jimmy was half
undressed when Bill LANCE rushed in breath
less and yelled: Come out here and bat;
there are three on bases; it's your turn up,
and all we need is one hit to tie the score
Jimmy leisurely pulled on his shoes, strolled
across the field, went to the bat and struck
out"

And now it develops that Jack Doyle's OBJ
lection to Orioletown is that the incense
burners in Baltimore reserve all their fire
for McGraw, Jennings, Keller and Robbie
while Jack is awarded 1.-The lone finger and
the heart that is alabaster.
Tho Brewers do not play. with the spirit
that characterized the work of the st. Paul
and Minneapolis teams while here. They are
woefully lacking in ginger and require con-
siderable bracing before they will be able to
make showing with the rest. Mack will
have to get new pitcher If he intends to be
in the race; that Is, good, reliable man from
the big league. It will be necessary to pay
out few dollars for a twirler. but 1t will
be good investment for the Milwaukee club
in the end.-Milwaukee Wisconsin,.
Mark Hayne, Of Minneapolis. has written
Vanderbeck, Of Detroit, q letter in regard to
the plea he made before the National league

''I of course met all the magnates and had
an elegant time with them. They treated me
royalty and let me play my 'bazoo' as heart
lily and as earnestly and as long as I wished
to, to present my case before them. They are
as smooth and as nice lot of people as I
ever met. and they are men of ability, too,
and in addition to all this they can give
a man the marble heart and glad hand in
as good shape as any people 1 ever saw. I
liked them all, and what a shining light you
would have been among them!'' 70

as saying: 81 would rather have given $500
than to have Burkett put out of the game at
Louisville Saturday. The Cleyelands have
had the reputation of being rowdies long
enough. L told Tebeau before they played the
first game that no matter how badly the UNI
pire mightdseem to treat them, tho, only thing
to do was to take 1t like gentlemen, and
keep their tempeTs.Y - - -. i. -
