SPORTING NOTES.

RICKETTS, catch yesterday was a wonder.
Third place! That isn't so Bad for the
first year.
Providence has not won game in Hart
ford this season.
Frank Bonner released by Washington,
has caught on with Buffalo.
Bransfeld had his wits about him when
he stole third while Myers held the ball a
few feet away.
There will be no farmers on the Wor-
cester team next season il the manage
ment can help It. = 4 sf
Freeman of the Washingtons has made
more home runs this season than the en-
tire New York team.
Tony Mullane, who pitched for Toronto
for minute. is trying to land a. berth on
the umpire staff of the National League.
The Shrewsbury street grounds will be
the lot selected by the Worcester man
agement for next season without doubt.
1t begins to look as If no further devel-
opments will arise in the Bransfield mat
ter. He has not heard from Washington.
Four eastern clubs of the National
League are punched for the lead, which
doesn't speak very highly of the western
clubs.
Charlie Kuhns ought to give UP playing
third base. He has too much regard for
his record and too much fear of a base
runner.
Hickey has given an illustration of how
StGOuQ DdS6 SnOulQ De played. II ne ndQ
been with the team all season it would
have landed the pennant
When Miller left the grounds, while the
second game was in progress, he was en-
Enthusiastically cheered. The bleacherites
gave him three and tiger.
There is no moss on us, even if we are
the tail-enders," said Tommy Dowd. 1--WE
are the fastest team In the league. AT
least we cover more ground than any
other tea. We covered it in sleepers."
Rickert will probably never again wear
q Worcester uniform, much as he would
like to. After he starts in with Pittsburg
he will make good and remain in the Ma
tional League. He's faster fielder than
many wearing National League uniform
The pitcher who after Beaumont has
faced him twice, allows him to make a
hit should be arrested. Feed him on high
balls and he will get his stick under them
every time. Toronto Mail Well, 1t Is a
good time to give away the weakness of q
player.
Fred Clarke, Pat Donovan and McGraw
are the only playing managers in the Ma
tional League, and 1t may be stated Incl
dentally that the Louisville, Pittsburg and
Baltimore clubs have been playing a very
lively article of base ball during the en-
tire season.
When a player pushes in an umpire's
face 1t Is only technical assault, accord
Ing TO the Bridgeport Union. In describ-
ing the riot there on Monday, the Union
said: Day so far lost control of his tenn
per as 70 make a technical assault on
Moran, placing his hand on the umpires
face and pushing him.
When Lyons called Browns two-bagger
foul yesterday the crowd hooted him a.
much as II Brown was Worcester player
And at that, Brown is not popular In
Worcester. The incident goes to snow that
a Worcester crowd is fair. Worcester
players say Springfield and Providence
crowds are the same, but the crowds OF a
western city would never do such thing.
The attempt of the Manchesters to bluff
their way into the band wagon on the
home stretch and crowd Manager Finns
Berry Walls off the vehicle Is ludicrous in
the extreme, and the most farcical pro-
ceeding that ever happened in the history
of the national game. The idea of at.
tempting to play six league games In one
day would appear absurd even to fellow
with a 2x5 mental outfit. - Pawtucket
