BASE BALL BRIEFS.
Charlie Snyder is no longer a league UNI
pire. He thought 1t best to resign and ac-
quainted Nick Young with his purpose.
Young promptly accepted the resignation.
Sypder was the one who banished 'Still''
II Hill from game for simply asking a
question
The Kansas City players fear no other team
in the league except Indianapolis. Manager
Manning said this morning that as soon as
he thought he had Indianapolis beaten he
would order pennant. He has not done
that yet, however, as there are still five weeks
of play, and a little hard luck happening to
Kansas ty, coupled with return Of the
June form on the part of indianapolis, would
change the standing of the two clubs in
short order. The finish of the race Is not yet
in Embellishments News.
Most of the league magnates and manH gers
that have been interviewed are of one opin-
ion regarding "Ducky'' Holmes suspension
by the board of directors. They are unani-
nous N declaring that the sentence was too
severe.-St. Louis Globe.
Buffalo with its S25, 600 people, and Toronto
with $4,000, would increase the strength Of
the league so per cent. The talk about long
jumps to Buffalo and Toronto is mere bosh.
1t is simply overnight ride from Detroit
to Buffalo, and the fare Is no more than
from Indianapolis to Detroit. Then from Buff
falo to Toronto the trip can be made by
boat in the forenoon for a cost of 80 cents
the round trip.-M lwaukee Wisconsin.
The st. Paul Dispatch says there is talk of
signing Turner for Glasscocks place, and then
adds that Turner was so strong that Detroit
bounced him after he had played about half
a dozen games" The Dispatch probably does
not know the facts. When Camel came on
from Pittsburg to play the Detroit first base
he IL with malarial fever and Turner
was signed to fill the gap. When Camel was
ready to play there was no place for Turner
and he was released. During his short
gagement with the Detroits he played a good
field ng game, and most of the time batted as
well any man on the team.-Detroit Jour
nal.
On Monday a game transferred from st.
Paul slated for Sept. s, will be played, W tn

The Indianapolis Journal predicts that Jim
Hart will own Western league team in Chi

for Wolverton Rettger, DAILY, Phyle and VIII
ans to form the nucleus of the aggrega-

Connie Mack's claim had been In nine hours
and Bob Aliens twenty minutes l am told
by Matt Kililca that Mack never sleeps
and haunts the newspaper offices every night
to ascertain whether any players have been
released that day.

Comiskey denies that he has disposed of
Phyle to Chicago, but admits that he would
be glad to do so.-Milwaukee Sentinel But
he isn't so anxious to sell him this morning.
A man who can shut out a team without a
hit or run is pretty good stuff.
Kansas City's lead looked pretty big to
Kansas City a week ago. This morning 1t
doesn't look very big to anybody.
Pump away, st. Paul! Who knows but you
may cl NIB that pennant hill after all?
After all, Milwaukee is just as near the
lead this morning as she was yesterday
morning.
If the Blues wish to make Kansas City
forget indianapolis, let them take three
straights at Coumbus-Kansas City Times
If the Blues win today they will at least get
one straight out Of three.
Managers Manning and Allen have ar
ranged to allow the Blues and Hoosiers to
play three Senefit. games after the close of
ager Manning VII donate the use of the park,
and the proceeds of the games will be divided
among the members Of the two teams
we suppose, that Kansas City and Indian
apol:s will run one, two. They are just about
as likely to run four. five.
Come. directors of the Western league,
let's have a decision on that Kansas City
Detroit disputed game. Better settle it now
than to have a riot over 1t near the end of
what Kansas City wants and has been try
ing to get When the Blues were In the
East on their last trip more than month
ago, Manager Manning asked President John
have the matter settled The Honorable
Banuel B., like the mills of the gods, grnds
slowly. and he has not yet got around to
what is one of the most important questions
in the league tday. Manager Manning said
just before leaving on the present trip, that
he would insist on the matter being settled
not expect or wish to win the pennant on a
fuke of any kind. Let the question be de-
ctded at once.-Kansas City Times. ManfuIly
spoken.
