Tommy Delahunty, who will prance around
second base at Milwaukee park this season,
is new to most base ball fans, although there
are a number who witnessed his work when
he appeared here with Detroit in 1885, He
is a young man, and should therefore i'm
prove in his work. Being a left-hander, he
is naturally an easy batter. He covered
great deal OF ground, but sometimes fumbled
the ball considerably before getting his fin
gers settled sufficiently TO throw. That was
two years ago and since that time he has
got over that nervousness He started out with
Peoria in 1884. playing second base. In 1895
he played with Atlanta, but was sold to De-
troit about the middle of the season, and fin
ished with the Tigers. In 1896 he played third
base fOr Cleveland for time, but was loaned
to Toronto. He obliged to play at short,
and was quite badly injured during the sum
mer, although he played the season through
in a crippled condition. According to expe-
rience. ETC., Arthur H. Clarkson should prove
one of the most successful pitchers in the
Western league this year. He has had an ex-
cellent schooling in the big league and also
had the benefit of his brother Johns coach
ing. He started out with st. Louis five years
ago, and remained with the Browns three
seasons. His work was brilliant at times,
and then again he dropped off. He was
traded to Baltimore in 1895, and was with
the champions two seasons. The games in
which he participated were all close, and the
tact that Pond, Mcmahon and Hemming were
pitching great ball. kept him on the bench.
He lacked work last year to really do himself
justice, but he expects TO make up for all
that in the Western league He is now at his
home in Bay City, Mich, assisting his
brother John in a tobacco store.

Yankee Robinson, the quick-witted and
tricky second-baseman of Comiskey's brainv
horde, was the first of the champion Browns
to be summoned hence. Robbie died three
years ago, the victim of lingering consume

was Curt Welsh, who was counted by the
