Base Ball Notes.

Cincinnati today and also ladies day
Billy Dinneen should be about due to
pitch a good game today.
Twenty-one hundred spectators is not q
bad attendance, with the Senators in the
eleventh hole.
McGraw was evidently sore over his
clubs defeat, but he should be more of a
man than to vent his spite on the umpire.
Mugsy' was called out on strikes as
three pretty balls as ever sailed over the
plate. Then he made tough out of him.

The comparing of Slagle and Frisbee as
ball players makes very poor showing for
the latter. Slagle is far and away the
better man in every department of the
game and if there ever was an instructive
ball player Jimmy belongs in that class.

Messrs. Irwin and Padden would please
many of their admirers if they exercised a
little more care in the matter of selecting
players to go on the coaching lines to jolly

Atherton, Kittridge and O'Brien should
make good coachers. 1t requires more than

and quick thought being the chief require

George Decker will probably have a hard
time working himself into regular posi-
ton at the initial corner for the Senators.
Mr.. Barry is doing very well. thank YOU
and as long as the club continues at its
present gait few changes will be made.
Decker is an exceptionally fine first base
man, and also good 5ticker, but poor
health handicapped him last fail and this
spring. At present he LOOKS very fine.
Buck Freeman is not pushing out 50
many homerS as heretofore, but he is land
ing the ball safe quite frequently, and
that is the kind of hits that counts in the
long run.
Jake Beckley will not likely go east with
the Cincinnatis. Jake's finger is still In
