SPORTING NOTES.

Jimmy Stafford is pleasing the Webster
fans by his fine work with Washington
One of the shortest games of the season
was played in Providence last Tuesday,
One hour and fifteen minutes was the
playing time.
Vickery, the veteran National and East
ern leagues pitcher, is twirling them over
for Bristol, Conn.,, in the State League,
and wins his games.
Billy Marsh is getting into shape near
Boston to rake in a harvest of shekels
Labor day. He Is entered in the Scotch
games at West Roxbury.
Our own Klobedanz has a brother,
Charles, who has base ball aspirations
and is doing good work in the box.
Jacklitz, the clever Montreal catcher,
who lifted the ball over the left field
fence in the opening game of the season
at the oval. has taken big slump in
batting.
Dave Fultz, the old Brown player, now
with Baltimore, will play foot bali this
season with his former running mate
Gammons on the Duquesne Athletic Club
of Pittsburg.
Referee Father Bill Curtis has said
that it is doubtful if Duffey's recoE1 at
the national championships will hold as
the game little Worcester Academy
Splinter had strong wind at his back.
The example of the Georgetown Uni
versity faculty in stamping upon profess
sionalism, so rampant in college base ball
can be followed right here in New. Eng
land. = Boston Post. Hush! You don't
mean Holy Cross?
Pat Donovan of the Pittsburgs says
that the Pirates find, Beaumont, can get
backing. for $1,000 to. run any man in the
league 100 yards. Mercer and Callahan
are fast sprinters in the league, and
Beaumont may get a chance.
Worcester has been handicapped with
bunch Of u bad second basemen all
summer. Young Q'Neill of st. John seems
to be filing the aching void for Manager
Leonard's coming champions. = Boston
Post. AS many as that? The bunch was
bad enough, anyway.
Young Curley, of the Springfield club,
is already being footed for the big league
He is certainly a good sticker and goes
for everything in fielding chances Provi-
ern League experience will not lessen his
chances of making hit in the big league
later. Hang on, Curley.
Umpire Connolly was most unpopu-
lar with the crowd and was greeted with
shower Of pop bottles in the fourth in
ming, none of them hitting him. is the
dispatch report of the Chicago Brooklyn
Sunday game O,Loughlin wouldn't vince
under deluge of pop" bottles Buckets
would strike him about right.
The suggested series between Webster
and North Attleboro for the semi-profes-
sional championship Of the state, would
| cause q lively scramble for big league
players With outsiders barred, the games
would draw as well ana would decide
something, Generous sprinkling of
semi-professiopa team with outsiders and
thereby winning a game shows the wise
manager. He isn't the man who puts out
the coin, for league players either.
The West End MINORS are playing great
ball these days, Saturday they defeated
the Raymonds by a score of % to 2. and
yesterday the Salem Stars went down
under their mighty onslaughts to the tune
Of % to 8. The West End Juniors seeking
for other worlds to conquer, challenge the
Bradford Juniors or the Worcester ORR
oles for game Wednesday, and the West
End manager will be at The Spy office
this evening at o'clock to receive an an
swer.
