For coming words to fit the case
The seasons been prolific.
The strain upon the lexicon
Has been something quite terrific
The chaps who write about the lights,
Have given us solar plexus,
And a jag they call in Cleveland town
A quiet Sockalexis:
'.Billy" Earle the catcher, is unable to
get a lob because it is said that he is feared
as a ."hoodoo. Some time back he began
experimenting with hypnotism, and now 9TH
err players refuse to be on team with him
because of fear that he might have some
influence over them. Earle is considered by
MANY a better backstop than majority or
those in the National league.-Plttsburg
News.
No team in the country trave.s in such
luxury as the Chicagos or lives so Injurious
" while ON the road Mr. Arson plays the
limit in locking after the comfort of his
men. In every city they stay at the SWEETEST
hotel. notably the Fifth avenue in New
York and the Arlington in Washington, and
when in Boston they make their headquar-
Last season Frank Hahn, the southpaw
of the Detroit club, pitched for Mobile in
the Southern league under the management
of Charley Cushman. A week ago Cushman
was umpiring ar Detroit and Hahn was
twirling fer the Tigers. bal was hit by
one of the opposing players and was blocked
by some one near the line. There were two
men on bases and they all scored, although
the ball was returned to the diamond before
all of them had crossed the plate. Cushman
called them all safe and the Detroit boys
raised a howl, especially Hahn. Cushman
turned to the latter and said: Frank, when
you played for me I gave you strict in
structiens that in case of a block ball to
always get in the box so as to be ready the
moment the ball was returned to the
diamond. Now, why. didn't you do 1t this
time?" Hahn replied that he had forgotten
the tip. Cushman did not even smile, but
retorted to the left-hander:. THAT will cost
you just IS for forgetting the Instructions
and getting gay without cause" And the
fine went.
Jimmy Ryan sprung new one the other
day coming down the sound to New YORK.
He said: Talking about long hits, L THINK
/ made the longest on record. 1 hit base
ball from Staten Island to Liverpool: 1t was
back in the days when New York played on
the island after being eylcteo IRON Sns pu i3
grounds The center field was planked and
built over the sea beach. We had to wear
rubber shoes on it. One day l was at bat
and hit a ball clear over the platform: A
Cunarder was going out. The ball hit on
deck and bounded into a stateroom The
passenger kept the ball and wrote to me
from Liverpool. Arson could have made a
homer on that hit.
There is seemingly no end to Ned Hanlon's
schemes Down in Baltimore he now is plan
ming changes for next year. One high in au-
thority says the Orioles will turn loose bat
terry an infielder, and an outfelder during
the winter. Hughey jennings SO his physi-
clans say, will not be able to play shortstop
next year on account of a permanently dis
abled arm. The Orioles are making no secret
of the fact that they want Dahlen. If
shortstop is secured the plan is to play Jen-
nings at first.
