1t isn't often that a home crowd
shows displeasure when an umpire puts
visiting player off the field. The
crowd at the oval did that yesterday
when OHagan was ordered off.
The Worcesters are hitting like fiends

Times. Come out of it. Only two or
three ever saw the New England league.
The games at the oval deserve better
patronage than they have been receiy-
ing. If lovers of the game went to
keep ball team here, there is only
one thing to do, and that is to attend
the games.
Manager Tom Burns of Chicago re-
fuses to recognize Tebeau's team as
pennant winners. "They are lucky"
says Burns, "and with the exception of
Chicago have had easy teams to stack

Most of the players of the present day
swing too hard on the ball. If they
would pattern after Keller and Burk-
EFT, two men whose style is well nigh
perfect, they would have many more
base hits to their credit.

No branch of aquatics will make
greater advance this year than canoe
ing. Much Of the credit for populariz-
ing this sport is due the Lakeside and
Tatassit clubs and managers of the
Quinsigamond international regatta.
Jim Wray. the Australian seuIler, has
issued a challenge to meet any man in
the world for the championship and

Yeager certainly had the crowd with
him. He could have borrowed money
of a lot of people yesterday afternoon.
Before the next game Manager Leor-
ard ought to move the club house
nearer the field, so that Kuhns won't
have to throw so far to hit it.
Since the opening game there has not
been the slightest cause for complaint
in the matter of getting the crowds TO
and from the grounds. Cars restph the
city hall in faster time than was ever
done when the ball grounds were at
Grove street and horse cars brought
home the people.
Jeffries, in training for his fight with
Fitzsimmons, is using the same train
ing ouarters occupied by Corbett be-

low a system, but boxes and runs as
the notion takes him.
