Croquct Again Popular.
Croquet Is again i'm fashion. One reason
is that it Is not so expensive as tennis or
golf The ordinary dress for croquet Is
that which every one wears. Neither
knickerbockers nor short skirts arc neces-
sary. Cine does not have to wear a cap;
neither Is he obliged to provide himself
with sticks or other equipment. The host
or hostess is bound to provide the balls and
mGllets for the guests, and this relieves
them of an infinite Let Of bother. 1t Is not
the rule In croquot, as in other games. that
one has fayorito mallet or favorite ball.
One may prefer a certain weight mallet,
but that can be selected just as a man who
goes into a billiard ball to play game OF
billiards selects his cue of certain weights

Harry Davis played wonderful game on
first base for Pittsburg against Chicago at
Chicago Saturday. He made two doubles
and triple and accepted twelve chances
without an error.
Manager Selee of the Bostons would give
5000 for the release of Pitcher Mercer of
thew Washingtons. 1t was Manager Leonard,
formerly of the Pawtuckets, who brought
Mercer to the front and when the young
man was the shining star Of the New Eng
land League, Manager Selee was urged To
sign him, but could not be induced to dc
80, although 1t would have been occasioned
an outlay of but $500. 1t Is a wonder that
Selee ever mustered up the courage to draft

from the Buffalos at the end of last season

Jack Sharrott of the Brocktons is up tc
his old tricks of purloin.ng bases. He stol,
three In the game with tho New Bedford
Saturday.
With pleasant weather tomorrow q larg'
crowd will participate In the excursion tc
Newport. Fifty cents for the round tri]
and admission TO the ball game between
the Pswtucket and Newport teams is aI
arrangement that ought to test the cspa
city Of the Pawnee.
It is generally conceded that Tenney o
the Bostons is the leagues best first base
man.
It's quite likely that Boston will sell o
exchange Yeager at the end OF the seaso
and then by the middle OF next seaso
want to buy him back for a fabulous sun
It's way they have In Boston.
