Hermon street is a sample Of street
drenching just previous to the noon hour
and o'clock in the evening. Such prac-
| tees that are In vogue on those streets
seriously discommode the wheelmen and
endanger their life and limb
Rickert made a wonderful catch and
| throw off OHagans bat in the first, the
| ball being a hot liner. Carr had Barclay
| dead out at first, but Barclay struck his
latter. He had to retire from the game.
Treasurer Fred Mason of the Wor-
cesters brought dog back from Fall
River as a mascot. If the Wercesters lose
| another game while he's tied to the bench
the genial treasurer will have to watch
out, or somebody will chloroform the
purp.
Some restrictions should be placed upon
the drivers of the watering carts and not
allow them to drench the streets In such
way before the noon hour and o'clock
in the evening when the working men ape
JUST getting out of their work and are in
hurry to get home.
The Columbia drew first blood It beats
the fast Defender and thus proves itself
the fastest boat ever built on this side of
the big pond. AS none built on the other
side have been in the game yet, Columbia
ranks first That's where she will rank
after she meets the Shamrock.
Speaking of the dual meet between
English and American college athletes
next month, it might be well to remember
that the best college athletes of this coun-
try are at the University of Pennsylvania,
and If the Englishmen win they mustn't
claim they defeated an American team
McQuaid did the best piece. Of fielding Of
the year on Smink's grounder in the
seventh. It was a clear base hit which he
stopped with one hand. He fell when he
stopped it, but while he lay on the ground
he threw 70 Harrington at second and

field
Horton filed the bases on called balls
in the opening inning yesterday, and 1t
was by the greatest of good luck that
Rochester was kept from scoring. It's
time to brace UP in this respect, Mr.. Hor-
ton. At this season of the year pitcher
has sufficient work to enable him to locate
the plate.
1t was a peculiar deal in which the
game race horse Barney figured at Nashua
last week, and the judges jumped on the
horse, his owner and his driver with both
feet The little Worcester mare, Baby
Strathmore, was evidently slated to win.
and when the slate was broken Barney's
expulsion fell among the fragments.
A C. Buckenberger, manager Of the
Rochesters, received yesterday a letter
pounces HIS intention Of bringing a team
Of Cubans to this country TO play Amer
lean teams. He wants a business man
as fast as Cuban soldiers showed them
selves, they will purloin enough bases to
whip even the Bostonss
Walter S. Barnes, Jr., of the Boston
Journal, says: "Frisbee ought TO increase
the winning strength OF the Bostons even
though he does not begin 70 NIL Aemtl-
toms shoes. His superiority over Stafford
Is largely his speed on the bases. He is
probably as fast as Tenney or Stahl and
II his splendid work with the bat in the
Eastern league is any criterion, he should
increase the batting strength Of the cham
pions'' Incidentally It might be mem
toned that Mr.. Barnes is the only BoS-
ton base ball writer who gets Frisbee's
name correctly.
OF Frisbee, who Joined the Bostons last
week, 7. H. Murnane. base ball writer Of
the Boston Globe, says: The calling in Of
Frisbie may help matters, as he Is sure
to strengthen the outfield and IS much
faster man than Stanford. The latter was
playing in good luck at the bat. however,
and Will give Frisbie quite a large-sized
contract TO keep up to his figures. The
young westeruer will have a good chance
to show that he Is fast enough for league
company, a. there are q few who can
not see anything remarkable about his
batting, when the fast third baseman OF
the big league cut on hunt hitting.
