The latest successful thing in the
way of a microscopic machine ia eX-
planned in the following article from
| a Chicago paper:
The electric baseball pictures,
which have proven a great success in
the East, and show games while they
are in progress, although the plays
are made hundreds of miles distant,
will be exhibited at the Gaiety theater
in this city beginning Monday after
noon.
THE pictures will remain as long
as the Colts are away from town, and
the most ardent fan may get all the
action he would on the field by watch
| ing the ingenious reproduction.
1.-THE machine used is on an illumin-
| ated drop curtain. The players are
| shown, and every safe hit, bunt, fly,
out, run, or other play made in the
| game is reproduced in the theater as
soon as it can be sent over wire
connecting an instrument on the stage
| with another on the field
Freedman fatty declares that his re-
| fusal to agree to a division of the re-
ceipts of the games the New Yorks
play at Philadelphia this season is due
| to his desire to get even with A. }.
| Reach for voting as member of the
board of directors of the National
| league to fine Andy for his unspOrts
manlike part in the Holmes row. The
"spurned magnate" acts in this and
other matters of moment to the stock
holders of the New York club not as
his judgment dictates. but as his per-
sonal prejudice inclines him. Mr.. Reach
did his duty in the Holmes case as he
saw it and this silly and contemplate
attempt of Andy to get even will do
the Philadelphia little harm and the
New Yorker no good.-Sporting News.

close up that lead we hold at present
No, we are not out for any record as
base runners. We don't have to have
it. We get them on bases and then
hammer them around. We don't care
anything about base running as long

ed in Kid Childs, land you will not
see many of them taking any large
number of bases while we havH those
two iron-armed gentlemen. Criger and
O'Connor, to head them off. Why, they
get the bali down to second SO hard
and fast that they make good runners
