Six out of ten from Springfield. 1t may
be seven out of eleven at 6 o'clock.
a young brother of Jack Keenan,, of the
Wilkes-Barre team, is pitching for To-
ledo.
The most games won by one club from
another are the eleven by Buffalo from
Rochester.
Wilkcs-Barre hasn't won a game from
Syracuse or Buffalo and only two each
from Scranton and Toronto.
De Haas Robinson says that the Cleve-
land club will be transferred to Milwau-
kee if he loses his suit in Cleveland on
the Sunday ball question.
Boston's share of the receipts for the
three Baltimore games was $4,000, enough
| to pay al travelling expenses for the sea-
| son or all salaries for a month.
1t was quite coincidence that Jennings
| should get in the game and be hit by a
pitched ball at time when that circum-
stance was needed by Baltimore to help
win the game
Tommy BaEnon's having his troubles
with Syracuse. He was the only thing
on earth soon after being signed. 1t was
ever so with Tommy. Though of tender
age, he has played with more clubs than
the law allows.
The News-Dea,er suggests to the new
Wilkes-Barre manager that he keep
| Goeckel, Keenan, and. Bottenus and re-
lease the rest of the team What's the
matter with Belts, Diggins and Smith?
Rochester Herald. High balls.
Morse will pitch against Springfield to-
day. Excepting the two innings that
Meaney pitched yesterday, the Ponies
haven't been against left-hander in a
long time and Your Uncle should be able
to hold them down. Boyd will catch him.
The Torontos are hitting the bail harder
than any team in the league Toronto
hn ipntr ar.lA
not hitting the ball as hard or getting as
many hits as are the Miners. Scranton
Is to date the heaviest hitting team in the
league according to correct figures.
Wellncr, Harper, Meancy and Gillon
will be the probable pitching order for
Mondays Wilkes-Barre-Sc games.
During the clubs week away from home
Wellner has been practicing daily at the
park He ought to be in good form on
Monday.
on Monday the Miners will be home to
play with Wikes-Barre here in the morn
ing and at Wilkcs-Barre in the afternoon.
Wilkes-Barre plays here on Tuesday.
Wednesday is an open date. Toronto
comes for games Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. Buffalo, Rochester and Syra-
cuse viii! be next in the order named up
to and including July ~.
The Wilkes-Barre Record says that the
Toronto. Providence and Buffalo teams
are apt TO be the chlef contenders for the
Dennant, with Syracuse as runners up-
Toronto Globe. That might come true If
Providence had to play only the Wilkes
Barre team, but there are other clubs in
the race. Scranton certainly has as good
"A chance for third place as has either
Providence or Toronto
The Wilkes-Barre Records sickening,
oft-rcpeatcd references TO "our" Hughie
ought to be called i'm, Hughie Is all right /;
If he wasn't it would not be surprising
that Wilkes-Barre had a right to dub
him "OUR" Hughie. IT happens, though,
that the famous shortstop's home is at
AVOca, four miles from the Scranton city
line. If freight car stands in your line
of vision at the Avoca station one cannot
see the town. Jennings on the road says
he's from Scranton-just outside."It is
hardly probable that he is fiattered by
the Wilkes-Barre slobhcrinE and the en-
dearing references to "our" Hughie.
