Shugart was fou season with st. Louis,
and with Pittsburg for couple of years.
He is a first-class player when he is walk

Dispatch. Shugart is TO be pitied, as there
are no narrow paths in Philadelphia.
Rusie seems to be more effective as the
season grows older. He has wonderful speed
and curves and uses them with skill. Amos,
besides playing great ball, fields his position
in manner that draws forth almost con-
stant applause. Rusle's earnestness and his
brilliant performances in every respect
proves beyond doubt, as has been the
case all the season, that the league mag

the big Hoosier to return TO the fold for the

In speaking about the beer glass throwing
episode in Cincinnati, the Comrpercial
Tribune says: 1T has been customary for
persons sitting on the seats under the grand
stand, known as rooters' row. to throw the
glasses, after they are empty, out on the
grass, 50 that the walters can collect them
without disturbing the crowd during the
game. This, doubt, was the intention of
the party who rolled the glass ont yesterday.
