about Joshuas size.
The CINCINNATI team, of the National
Baseball league, will play the Y. M. c. A.
club at Charlottesville on Thursday, July %.
John Coleman, the old-time pitcher has
made his temperance on the diamond,
and from his work for the Athletics, OF the
Atlantic League, It looks as though he
would have a second time on earth
Vanderbeck did not go with his team on
the present trip, and has discovered that
he was the "hoodoo." He is fixing up the
Detroit grounds, which needed attention
badly enough, according to all accounts.
Pete Daniels has not yet reported in
spite of his announced intention to do so
week ago Columbus papers claim Louis
Vile has been tampering with Daniels and
that he hopes to become Colonel They
advise Lotus to sell him to Louisville.
McGraw is little known as ball player,
saws the Chicago Inter Ocean for the
reason that he seldom plays out an entire
game. After about four innings the UNI
pire has invariably to treat him like he
would a squalling tomcat or a persistent
puppy or any other small animal-take him
by the loose skin on the back of his rubber
neck and throw him cut of the yard.
Jimmy Manning was a Dubuque visitor
couple CT players from the Western Asso
ciatiCn tenn if possible. Pitcher Butler is
one of the men desired by Kansas City. An
other man the Blues would like to have is
Catcher Sullivan, of the Dubuques but, as
the latter belongs to Columbus and is mere
o. i him. "'DS''' -A"'i''llS WIZ ''''
-Four hundred or five hundred Indianap-
oils people were deprived of the enjoyment
of a ball game by that rain at Minneapolis
yesterday, for the Grand had a good-sized
audience when the news came that the
grounds We're so wet the teams had decided
not to play. The games to-day TOMORROW
and Saturday with the MillerS will be
shown at the Grand, beginning at o'clock
each afternoon.
Pitcher Phyle of st. Paul, was severely
injured while sliding to second base in sun
days game, and his foot is now in a plas-
ter cast. The attending physician says it
will be two months before Phyle can play
ball again, and, as he was the most relia-
BILE twirler on Comiskey'S staff the Saints
are probably out of the race. The st. Paul
manager is after Butler, of Dubuque, the
same twirler who is wanted by Manning.
Deacon Ellis and his Newark team, in the
Atlantic Association, are conspicuous in the
East, as the Newarks not only lead in the
league, but won a seventeen-inning game
Sunday from Norfolk. Play was COM
off two games, but the struggle heightened
out and the crowd saw four hours con-
sumed with the longest game OF the year.
Gil Hatfelds work at short field was
feature.
The playing of the Detroits of late has
not only been a revelation to the local pa
irons but has caused gray hairs to chase
the few colored ones out of Comiskey's
head, and Matt Killilea has had chills for
a week thinking of the games there. The
team has certainly been giving a creditable
imitation of the Bostons, and the playing
has been of the right kind right along.
1t has been shown that: errors need not
lose games as long as the men stick to-
gether and use their bats.-Detroit Free
