BASE BALL BRIEFS.
The Pittsburg Commandments says
that for a timely batter Dick Padden il
the best in the league.
The Youngstown Vindicator is knock
ing at the Youngstown club. and the dull
thuds may be heard all over the circuit.
Katz made five hits in the first game be-
tween New Castle and Mansfield
The New Castle Courant- Guardian is
very much in error when il states that
Wheeling desires to strengthen at the eX-
pense of New Castle. Nothing could be
further from the truth. Wheeling does
not envy the "Yanegans" their success,
nor does it acknowledge their superiority,
New Castle has a strong club but not
team of world heaters. II has had its
winning streak early in the season, and
the result has been to give the New Castle
sporting writer's very bad case of the
swelled head. Wheeling hopes TO convince
the "Yanegans" that they are not the
only pebbles. If the home club fails, it
will still not despair of cutting short the
winning streak of the Pennsylvania club.
The Courant-Guardian man should not
lose sight of the fact that the season is
young.
Van Giesen. Mansield's new pitcher, was
with Toledo last season. Con Strouthers
has probably discovered by this time that
good twirling talent is hard 10 find,
Umpire Enery's Judgment on balls and
strikes is poor, but he is impartial
Joe Werrick got a shower of silver for
home run in the first game between Mans
field and New Castle. The business OF
throwing coin at player is a nice GUS
tom. but Mansfield has been base ball
dead for so long that it has overlooked
the fact that it is no longer good taste
Brick bats are permitted under some cir
cumstances, but silver-pever. Besides
what would John Sherman say?
The Toledo Blade says Manager Strobel
In ctr for the
/ Toledo fans" Must be that new ball
| park in the city.
The sum Of $50 was raised for a banquet
| TO the New Castle PLAYERS upon their re-
turn from the west, but the banquet was
declared of Manager Russell does not
want to swell the boys up too much.
| Showers of silver. gold watches and bou-
| quets and banquets, are all placed in the
| category of "hoodoos" by wise managers.
The following is from the Mansfield
| Shield
! one of the funny things noticed at the
game yesterday was the great number of
! people who sat around on the fences and
/ in trees. Some Individual with more gaul
| than a mule drove his wagon up to the
] fence on the east side. near the gate. and
! accommodated forty or fifty people who
| thus saw the game free of charge. 1t was
! we'll for the general comfort Of the gang
on the wagon that they did not hear the
uncomplmentary remarks that were made
| about them in the grand stand. Men
stood on that wagon and looked over the
fence that would scorn to pay less than
ten cents for cigar or wear clothes that
cost less than $50 per suit. Parties We're
noticed viewing the game. from Platts
woods that rode out from the city on 500
bicycles. These people either ought TO
pay their money and see the game or stay
away. The local base ball management,
and everybody knows who they are, are
making no money at it and the quarters
are all needed If the game is worth see
ing at all it is worth quarter TO see it.
! Put up your money and save your self
| respect.
