Base Ball Notes.


Well, they can't defeat the Senator's to-
day
The expected has happened, the Cleve-
land club will transfer all it's games in the
future, and by next season the league cir
cult will be contracted.
Dick Padden was put out of the game
yesterday for Directing to the umpire's de-
cisions. Dick'sI actions are not indorsed,
but it would bsa glorious thing for the
Senators If the other players took as much
interest in the game as their captain.
I'VE don't miss Slagle"' yelled a joyful
fan during Mondays game and that cry
was good Indication of the way Gett-
man stands with the people. OF late. his
fielding has been phenomenal. his batting
superb, and on the bases he is a streak of
light. Gettman and CAMEL have put heart
into the game, and strengthened by their
example the other players have come to
the front in fine style. Raymer touted at
first as find" is proving something of
disappointment. He plays well in set,
mechanical fashion, but lacks the dash
that marks Gettman and Camel. He
doesn't use his head enough. Hulen's work
at short Is now par excellence, and casual
three baggerS are bringing his batting av-
erage up.-kansas City Independent.
The Senators present trip reminds the
Washington fans of the clubs last tour
of the western cities, it's so different.
Jimmy MCGUIRE will have to get back in
the game pretty soon if the Senator's de-
sire TO win any more games on this trip.
The club simply cannot get along without
the veteran.
Manager McGraw should pattern after
Manager Hanlon in not breaking up team
when it Is winning. BY releasing O'Brlen
to Pittsburg, McGraw had had to shift Kei-
ster to second to let Magoon go to short.
These changes have doubtless "unhnged''
az he IA OIL
larly ever since they have been made.
Boston picked up a good man in Eddie
Geier," said AL Selbach yesterday. "Geier
is Washington boy, and he used to train
with US in Washington. l had a good
chance to considerable of his work, and
he will make valuable man for the Bos-
ton aggregation. '-Cincinnati Enquirer.
Arthur Irwin, manager of the Washing
tons, remained over in st. Louis yesterday
trying to do some business with the East
ern League magnates-President Powers OF
the Eastern League and President Draper
of the Providence club-who are here with
the Elks. Irwin failed to get what he was
after and left for Louisville on an evening
train.-St Louis Republic.
A special from Wilkesbarre says that
BILL Coughlin and 'Bilr' Richter. two of
the members of the Wilkesbarre base ball
team, were overcome by the heat Saturday.
A doctor was summoned. Coughlin fell
over unconscious, and Richter succumbed
in his room. The doctor worked upon
quired twenty minutes hard work to revive
Richter. Coughin was able to be out Sat
urday evening, but Richter was confined to
his bed and he will not be able to be about
for couple of weeks.
In Baltimore on the recent trip Childs
sprung sore arm and told Tebeau he
could not play. Pat was short-handed and
wanted Cupid to play anyhow. Childs de-
injured and an argument followed, which
ended by Pat telling Childs to sit on the
bench and watch him play second as it
should be played. The Baltimore corre-
spondent Of the Sporting News enlarges on
this, but twists ist saying that Childs want
ed to play, but Tebeau would not let him,
which is not in accord with facts, and tries
moniously among Tie Perfectos Tebeau
and Childs have played together for seven
years and know pneU another now. As in
Boston and Brooklyn, and all really good
teams, the players dsf the St. Louis club
call each other sharply on head plays
in which bad judgment is shown. A player
is never called for a manual error, such as
a tumble, muff or Bad throw, but let him
make mistake M judgment and the whole
team is after him. 1T is thus with Boston
teams, like Cincinnati and Cleveland, does
the "salve-spreading act" go. On the losers
it is always, Meyer mind. old man." But
with the good ones It is you rotten -
.,m What kind Of play was va.
as all good Independent players will, and
there is a hot time for a minute. This kind
of work distinguished the old Baltimore
infield when Jennings and McGraw were
at their best. They were forever eating
each other up, and neither of them was
afraid to call Hanlon down when he made
a mistake. The readiness to call each
other which the Perfectos have shown is
strongest proof of confidence and surety the
club could have shown. Let US have more
