PITCHER HUGHES
WILL
!. 'TWIRL SUNDAY

Jimmie" Hughes. the great Baltimore
find Of last season, will pitch for the Gilt
Edges Sunday. at Recreation Park. The
news. will undoubtedly be hailed. with
great delight by those interested and
those who watched the career of this
young man last: year. 1t is expected that
the banner crowd of the season will be
present, and in view of the fact that such
a wondrous star is to be presented I can
hardly fancy any lover of the national
game remaining home under such entic-
ing circumstances.
It has been a long time since Hughes,
the idol Of Baltimoreans, appeared on a
diamond in this immediate vicinity. Those
of us who saw him last at Central Park,
pitching as an amateur, little dreamed at
the time that the boy possessed the abil-
ity. to. shut out. the BoStonS and play
with various other teams of the major
league. We considered him a good man
In his class, but few predicted that he
would meet with such great success: in

the programme. However true luIs may

shut-out games. To do this it requires
practice and condition, and while Hughes
may possess both the qualities in de-
gree, still it cannot be expected that he
will give such an exhibition as marked
his famous career in the East. Let us
rest contented over the fact that we are

down with no hits or permits them to
make twenty-five? We simply want to see
the boy that made such an excellent
fans who do nothing at game but roast
want to reserve their ammunition and be
satisfied with whatever order of work Mr..
Hughes is capable of giving after such
long rest.
The Atlas will journey to Napa on Sun
day ito try conclusions with the Alden &
Leyisons. of that city.
The Atlas are playing in the Pacific
Coast Minor League, but on account of
the bad condition of the grounds at Elm
hurst they cannot play their scheduled
game, and have succeeded, after much
inconvenience, in securing q game at
Napa. The Atlas claim me amateur
championship of California; having de-
feated the Golden Gates, who were up to
the time of their defeat the acknowledged
champions. The game Sun-ay promises
