Senators in Louisville today for the last
time.
Two games in Philadelphia Monday with
the smuggling Quakers follow.
Dineen and Mcfarland will probably
pitch against the Phillies in Quakerdom
Monday, and the veteran weighing Tuesday
at National Park against the same club.
That little fellow Roach behind the bat is
doing himself proud and deserves lots of
credit. He is playing every game and
catching the different pitchers in fine form,
a praiseworthy exhibition when Roach $
age and experience is taken into considera-
ton.
AS an "in-and-outer'' the collegian Barry
is the leader of them all. One day he falls
down SO disastrously that his career would
seem to have ended right there and then,
but UP he comes the next day and aston
ishes the onlookers with good, consistent
work. The one part of his ability as a

1t appears strange to place the Bostons
in the quitters class, but their record the
past week would seem to indicate that they

A prominent base ball fan and also a

Frank Bonner. recently released by the
Washington club. has signed with Buffalo
of the Eastern League. Bonner remarked
on being handed his release that he was
too good for class clubs, but as time
wore on and no offerings came from the
big league. Frank decided to join the
Bisons. Bonner has evidently played his
last game in the National League, and for
this situation of affairs he has one to
blame but himself.
The stock of the Toronto ball club was
transferred to the Ferry ompany yester-
day afternoon. Arthur Irwin was elected
president and retains two-ffths of the
stock. The price was not given. Edward
Barrow of Philadelphia Will be the new
manager of the team.
John T. Rogers is said to be in the act
of kicking himself for not buying the re-
lease of Jennings from the Brooklyn club
when he had chance carrier IN tne sea

over at the Phladelphia's bench. They
invariably bring along new stock of
bats with them. Nearly all the bats used
by National League players are bought of
a firm in Louisville. Every time team

Information comes from league head
quarters that Freedman has protested
against the playing of the three transferred
Cleveland games at Washington Park,
Brooklyn, yesterday and on Thursday. 1t
is further stated that Freedman has been

ten out of twelve clubs was obtained some
time ago, his protest is both untimely and

With the outfielders hitting above $50,
with every man on the inf1eld hitting
above 800 and the catchers doing the same
thing, how are you going to beat the Phil
lies. That Is what the other teams have
