Base Ball Notes.

1t is not a question of "hoodoo when the
Senators are defeated by the Colonies.
BUCK Freeman and his long drives are
the real attractions at National Park these
days Buck is driving them out with
enjoyable regularity.
Today winds up the season with Louis
vile at National Park and the Senators will
doubtless enjoy singing the popular song.
I'VE Don't Care If You Never Come Back" :"
The Colonels in the present series have
,ade the Senators look ike 10 cents.
Honus Wagner and his German friends
in the left field seats had great day ex-
changing billingsgate in dialect known
only to themselves The local crowd held
up their end all right and chased Wagner
to the woods in more than one instance.
The Senators leave for Brooklyn tonight
and open a series of three games In that city
tomorrow. Boston follows for four games and
then the Washngtons return home Mon
day week. having the Brooklyns as oppo-
nents. The Superbas will doubtless be
given royal welcome, as on a recent oc-
Caslon six eX-Senators were in the game,
all wearing the Brooklyn uniform-Ander-
son, Wrigley, Casey, Mcclure, Farrell and
McJames.
The Brooklyn club and the fans of that
city are becoming fearful that the injuries
to DAILY and Dahlen may knock the club out
of the championship even at this late day
The new men. Beck and Wrigley, can field
all right, but batting wins games, and the
two injured men were exceptionally handy
with the stick. Reports from Brooklyn
about Wednesdays game say McJames
pitched well, but his support was bad.
President Schaefer of the new base ball
organization said on his return to st. Louis
from the Chicago meeting that when his
association met in New York, October 20,
the officers and owners of each club would
be made public and then the public could

the Syracuse Base Ball Club. by the New
York and Louisville clubs, respectively
and has appealed for redress to the Ma
tional League. Brooklyn has purchased

In the several games that he has pitched
since joining the CoIonels Rube Waddell
has demonstrated that all the nice things
that were said about him when he still
was a member of the Grand Rapids team
Were true, and that he is finished artist
compared to what he was a member of
the Louisvilles last season. Waddell is an
eccentric individual who has to be jolled
all the time in order that his best efforts
may be secured. Crawford, the Reds new
left fielder who was the same team
with him, tells of how Manager LOTUS had
to kid Waddell in order to keep him going
properly Lotus strongest play was TO
tell Waddell that he was too good to asso-
ciate with the other players on the team"
said Crawford. "and in order 10 make this
claim stronger Lotus always had Wad-
dell assigned to a room by himself when
We were away on trips. He also gave him
the choice dressing room at the home
grounds. AT that Waddell had to be watch

Lotus somewhat lax in his jollying

same course as d member of the Louisville
