Base Ball Notes.

Two games will be played at Louisville
today, one being left over from the last
trip on account of rain. McJames will
try it again to redeem himself, in the first
game. and German may fool the knowing
ores in the second.
Tomorrow the Senators set sail FOR St.
Louis, and after finishing the series in the
mound city will travel to Baltimore for
one game, and then we catch the birds In
Washington tor three straight. These
games should be winners in the way Of at
tendance.
DeMont. is having an off year in fielding
this season, but he still has his batting eye
with him, although on this trip 1t has fail
ed him quite frequently. Yesterday he
was back in the game with his bat making
three OF the eight hits that were credited
to the Senators, all Of which were very
timely.
Tom Browns catch yesterday of Wilson's
fly In short center must have been
beauty bright. But then Tom does the act
quite frequently, the game he Is putting
up this year being as good as any In his
career.
Just look over the standing of the clubs
the Senators would do. This squirt Is due
to come when the club gets home. and the
top OF the second division is not too much
to expect from them by the time the sea-
son closes.
Think Of Billy Rhines holding the Ros-
tons down to two hits in yesterdays game.
Billy had previously lost five straight
games. and the Cincinnati papers were
iacing him for not keeping good hours and
dallying too frequently with the hop pro-
duct. The scoring must have done him
good, taking his work yesterday as a
criterion.
Billy Lush will be back in the senatorial
ranks next season. to say nothing of Nc
Gam. McHale and Freeman. All these
players are hitting well. and on the bases
and in the field are about the hest that
a "a T
year: Slow work on the bases is what
has handicapped the Senat tors this season
and this defect will be looked after next
year.
That Pittsburg outfield of the left wing
throwing gear is a pretty fast one Smith
Tannehill and Donovan cover everything
between the fences about as fast as any
in the business
Frank Selee is looking around for another
pitcher and he tried to wheedle Mr. Nc
James out Of the Senatorial band wagon,
but Earle Wagner's cry for help spoiled a
dark brown plot.-EXchange.
These are the days when the pavilion
manager. who never played a game Of ball
In his life, rises up and delivers himself
remedies.
Tom Brown is getting to be a slugeer
IN his old age. -Four hits in the last game
at Pittsburg and three off Ehret and Rhines
have had the effect of making Manager
Tom" think pretty well of himself
New York wanted Clarke. Scrappy offer
cd Herman. Dad Clarke, Park Wilson and
$1,000 for Louisville's $4,000 left fielder
But the Colonies could not see it that way
The other day at Cincinnati, Manager
Hanlon said George Washington Black
burn of the Texas League would not do
After the game at Chicago in which he
shut out the Colts. Manager Hanlon says
he Is all right which adds nothing to Man
ager Eddie's standing an tnfallible
judge.
New York evidently is afraid of being
buncoed on the gates in the west as well
as being poisoned, the club taking two
financial managers with 1t to watch the
gates. 1t looks like Nose had been up
against brace game somewhere in his
career.
1t is seldom that you hear Of three errors
being made on one batsman In one time at
the bat. This occurred in yesterdays game
at Cincinnati. Corcoran, in the sixth In
ming. gave three chances. all of which were
refused. First he hit up a foul fly to his
right that Tenny muffed. Then he popped
