are similar, and they are Of the same height

not join the 81 Louis Browns at present
To keep in practice he Will pitch Sunday Y
against the Cuban Giants at the Weeha vixen
baseball grounds.
Washington has turned over Harvey
Smith, who played third base last season
to the Toronto farm. AT the first part of
the season Mr.. Arthur Irwin waXed In
dignant when it was alleged that Wash
ington had any interest in his team, but
it Is altogether too palpahle when player

his club boston Exchange.

four years Oh the suspicion that he viii

initial bag and played the game at Wash

veteran did it-he put ginger into the play,

liant and even sensational work of Everitt
and Lange, the Colts would not have been
within mile OF victory.-Cmcago Post.
Although Amos Rusie is pitching regu-
larry for the New York club, his case is
not settled, by any means, ma VIII not be-
20 far as three or four League magua,cs
are concerned, until the mystery OF hIs
long hOldJut has been explained. Colonel
Rogers talked freely ahout the case
the other day He has not recovered from
fis indignation over the settlement af-
feoted by the ringsters OF the League, and
admits that Philadelphia has not paid It's
share OF the compromise money. and viii
not until IL knows more al out the case.
Some day it VIII he known who paid
Rusie's expenses during the season Of
1896, and the worry with the Sunday

At last Magnate Won der Horst. Of the
Baltim0res, has deigned to notice the ire
quent removals Of his ball players from
games for using loud and ungentlemanly

Jennings iii he recent games here has had
its effect Won der Horst says: 1t must
be stopped TWO or tITee OF the men are
killing themselves and killing the game.

He must learn 20 CuTb his temper, for we
are determined 10 uphold the authority OF
the umpire, and we don I propose to have
our PLAYERS kick themselves out Of the game
