Jerry Nops, the OriOle southsider, has

not in good condition. lie is also troubled

Bob Allen has been deposed as manager
OF the Detroit team of the Western League.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says: 1T is be

manager OF tie Pbillies."
I'll he surprised if the Raltimores finish
first, second or third said Pepper Bill
schnver the other day. Il think
they have gone back a great deal.
They are not as scrappy as they
used 10 be, and not having as much
luck as they had last season. Boston will
beat 'em out, 20 will we. and so Will the
New Yorks. They will just about wind up

amiable college boyisreally the king pitcher
OF the League at the present time. Once so
Wild that he couldn't get the ball within

First was Manager Hanlon's brief an
swer to the question, Where will the
BaltiTnores fInish?'' put to him before Sur
days game. The Oriole manager is not a {
all worried over the present position of the
team. The BostOnS' he said, have Won no
less than five games in succession by enc
run. and no one can tell me that that sort
az luck can Inst. We have had our best
players out of the game for some time.
Now that we are again intact, there is
no reason why we should not go to the
front again." Hanlon says that, although
Hoffer is not pitching consistent ball, there
never was a thought of releasing him
Pittsburg Press.
Besides Corbctt and Pond there Is now
only Hcffer, who has become utterly unre-
liable Of late. Mr.. Hanlon is out of pa
,ience with Hoffer, and threatened today
to send him home and let him stay until he
can get bis nerve and confidence back
In the past two years, however, the Orioles
have won games with crippled pitching
staff, and they could now III they would
only take tn heart the lesson OF past de-
fea,s and get together and play Baltimore
ball. But as long as personal antagonisn
exists; as long as there is Indifference
shown, as long every man is looking
out for himself and his record, there will
he few victories to chronicle, whether the
litch.ng staff be strong or weak.-Lonis-
