NATIONAL LEAGUE PHENOMS.
Uncle Ansop and Wagner Discuss an
Interesting Subject.

Earl Wagner and Uncle Anson
waxed statistical at the Arlington In
post supper chat recently. Spake Un-
Gle: "I tell you what 1t Is. Earl, these
infielders are as scarce as an l. o. u.
in Jack Glasscock's securities. Since
S9 the Chicago club has thrown away
$50, 900 in investing coin in minor league
experiments aud phenoms. 1t was in
the fall of 'S9 that Pfeffer left us for
that busted bubble, the Brotherhood.
1 Immediately begar. to spar for SEQ
ond baseman and have been sparing
off and on ever since.
II have signed and released enough
infielders since 's9 to boom the pop
ulation Of a one night stand. But in
Pfeffer and Connor, I am fixed for the
sort of infielder that is strong enough
to travel with your Uncle's Colts"
Wagner then reminded Uncle that but
five infielders have been developed
since 'sS by the major League clubs.
Quoth Earl: "Of course, you are fig
uring that Connor is clever enough to
entitle him to credentials in the SWEETEST
baseball society. But I have fire.
quently observed that a ball player
must have at least a season and a half
in the big Legue before he is given
the credentials that keep him in the
upper baseball tendon. This, OF
course, applies especially to pitchers.
The FIVE intielders that have been
brought out in the past five years are
Collins, of Boston; Wallace, of Cleve-
land; McGraw, OF Baltimore. and De
Montreville and Wrigley, Of Washing
ton. Though Wrigley has been in the
major League less than six months
his playing has been of such fast or
der that there is no doubt of his ability
to stay. McGraw played in Baltimore
long before '92, but he wasn't used as
an infielder till '92.
Since '92 have spent $4,000, and lost
scores of games before the advent OF
De Montreville and Wrigley. Thus the
the public can appreciate the search
worry and expenditure that are in
volved in building up a ball club. Ed
Hanlon, Of course, deserves credit for
building his castle on a throne Of sand
so to speak, but who can say that the
gladsome hand of Fortune hasn't
tickled the, palm of Hanlon. There Is
Jennings. He was signed by Hanlon
because the Louisville club decided
that Hughey's arm was out of gear
Hanlon took a chance on Jennings
and there you are"

hanging in the hallway and took to his
heels. Officer Simpson, wing lives on Ma
pie street was routed out of bed and he
began search for the hobo. The officer
