RAIN CHECKS.
Will re Good This Season for Five
Innings

viii re Good This Season for rive
Innings.
A letter from Manager Wells, received
last night. speaks most encouragingly
of the interest taken in baseball in the
cities visited by the team. The attend
ance at the games is very larss. he says.
and much enthusiasm Is manifested.
The second game in Reading was lost
mainly because of the fact that Bishop
WAS disabled early in the game from
a pitched ball. and Pfanmiller HAD to 80
i'm before he had warmed up. The boys
are playing very good ball. and under
the circumstances Of playing on foreign
grounds. are doing quite we'll
Calhoun has been out Of the game be
cause of an injured hand but he will
probably be in condition TO go in before
the team returns home next week.
In the meantime the grounds at Broad
Street Park have been placed in splendid
condition. The diamond has been raised
several inches, and the holes IN the out
field have been hlled. so that the park
is now one Of the finest in the country.
The most important thing to local
cranks this season is the fact that rain
checks will be good for five innings, in
stead OF three. as heretofore. This ar
rangement was made through the good
Offices OF Present Mcclure. who has
striven TO that end for some time.
The team will return home next Sun
day. and If they bring back an average Of
500 the cranks will be satisfied.
The players are getting down to team
work. and tho team Will be made up
permanently as at present constituted.
Public opinion is not favorable to the
retention Of Bishop on the pitching stan.
and IL is believed that as Manager Wells
intends 10 do all he can 10 please the
public. and at the same time do justice
to himself and the team, he will dispense
with the Tong boys services Bishop
is hardly able TO keep up with the At
lantic League pace but he would prob
ably be a valuable acquisition to some
smaller league.

TOMMY STRINGER'S PLANE.

Tommy Str1nger, who annot see or
near and talks with his hands, and who
IS now at the wonderful kindergarten
at Jamaica Plain, achieved his first pun
the other day. 1t makes a very fair
beginning. Tommy, as all his acquaint-
ances knew, is Very clever at carpen-
terlng, and his experiments in that kind
OF work are encouraged. The other day
he was given a plane, of a kind quite
new to him; he was asked if he knew
what kind of a plane it was, and began
TO spell out on his instructors hand
his answer.
1T isn't a jack-plane," he spelled.
"No."
He said nothing more for a moment.
A smile came to the boys face-and
Tommy Stringer has a delicate and very
beautiful smile-and then he began to
spell again.
Il guess it must be a Jamaica planet"
he said.

AN EXTRA LINE,

A melodrama of the most stirring kind
was being given at a theater in a small
provincial town. In one of the critical
scenes the hero suddenly became aware
of the fact that he had come to the stage
minus his poinard. Without a moments
hesitation he made a dash at the traitor.
exclaiming:
Die, villain! I meant to strike thee
with my dagger, but / left the weapon
in my dressing room, and will, there
fore, strange thee in the presence of
thisi ndulgent audience!"
1t is scarcely necessary to add thai this
variation from the original brought down
