NOTES OF THE PLAYERS

during the past week, ard at the present
time quite a formidable team could be
gathered at the 1th street grounds if the
weather permitted ous:de play ying. Charley
Reilly Billy" LUSH jim Mcclure and
AT Selbach are the latest addition to the
colony, and every one of them is in first
class condition. Cartwright and Mcclure
chummed together, usual, and could be
seen parading the avenue almost contlnu-
Cusly. Lush is down to fighting weight,
and Sclbach's hand looks as good as ever.
The remainder of the team are expected in
Washington during the coming week. Man
ager Schmelz is already here, and Mr. Earl
Wagner will be here next Monday.
Light gymnasium work will be indulged
in at first, but it will have to be very light,
as all the boys are almost down to the prop
er weight. Carroll Institute gymnasium
will probably be chosen by Manager
Schmelz in which to knock the kinks out of
his men. but at the first opportunity outside
work will begin.

an unwritten rule in Carson City that

anything on wheels, consequently visitors
to the training quarters of either one of
the two sole and only champions of the

distinction of sliding to their destination
than fer reaching 1t on wheels. The livery

Weakness of the Phillics.

The Philadelphia manager is worried
about a shortstop and last Thursday
wrote to Geer, the Washington boy re-
served by that team, asking him ii he had
ever played short stop, and whether he
thought he can fill that position. Geier's
answer was short and to the point He
said ''Of course / can, and I'll open some
OF your eyes If you give me chance
And there you are. If the Phillies really
want shortstop why don't they go aftc-
Earl Wagner? They can't use Cross, and
as he is the best fielding third basemen in
the league, the Senators can. Wr.gley, the
Wash!ngtons' utility man, is only few
shades under De Montreville, and when in
the Virginia League fatted up over 4o0.
But his battirg is not needed in Ph:la-
delphia, and he would cinch about the only
weak spot in the Quaker outfit. If Man
aeer Stallinys doesn't want to part with
Cross, perhaps Dick" Cooley can be
spared. Earl Wagner knows he has Il great
player in Wrigley, and it will take lots of
persuasion in the way of big Inducements

The Rusfe Case.

The Rus1e SuSe.
1t was thought when the league decided
to assume the cost of defense in Rusie's
suit to dissolve the reserve rule that it
meant that the members of the league had
banded together to boycott the Hoosier
pitcher: that in other words, If Rusie wins
his suit none of the other clubs will en-
gage him. This has been an impression
that has gone around but it seems to have
been mistaken one. James Hart, the
president of the Chicago club, said the
other day that if Rusie won his suit the
Chicagos would certainly make a bid for
his services This demonstrates that there
is no boycott against the pitcher. Free
to go where he desires, one will not have
hard time guessing where Rusie will
play. He and President Brush of the Gin
cirnatis are the very best of friends.
Rusie is not an ingrate and he may yet
be found with the Reds. Should he play
under Brush's banner there can he no
question but that the Cincinnati club will
win the pennant hands down. But think
of Freedman! To lose Rusie would be bad
pear against his team under the banner
of Brush would be enough to send him to
the hospital. But stranger things have
happened, and since the big five have
been cut down to the Little three" there
is every indication that what Freedman
thinks and says amounts to very little.
Prospects of the Browns.

he will trade any man on the team except
Delehanty, and will probably sell a half
dozen other boys that would become stars
