. McGraW's Method.

Manager McGraw, of the Orioles, has
made a record this season never before
equaled in the annals of the game.
Several times, a month or so earlier
in the season, the fact that he had
reached his base at least once in every
game of the season except one was re-
ferred to in the Baltimore Sun as some
thing unprecedented. In the issue OF
July 7th of that paper it was shown
that he had reached first base on an
average Of twce"out Of every three
times he had faced the pitcher to bat,
and it was shown that his very re-
markable skill in getting his base on
called balls has enabled him to get to
first base some 65 times in the first GA
games. Since that time and up to Sat-
urday, Aug. 12, Manager McGraw has
not failed to reach first base at least
once in every game. His record there
fore is 95 games, in 81 of which he has
managed to get to first base at least
once and usually oftener In the last
81 games up to Saturday McGraw has
gotten 35 bases on balls and been hit
three times, a total of 38 passes. AS
he had previously got 65 bases on balls
and been hit five times, his total OF
free passes, secured from opposing
pitchers, mounts up to the imposing to-
tai of 1OS in 95 games. This is a rec
ord in itself never before equaled.
The Chanute times., 1899-09-22

In the Associated Press account of
the disputed game between the Brook
lyn and New York clubs it was stated
that "the game was played under pro-
test. because of the fact that the bat
ting order offered by New York was
different from that which they pre-
sented in the game" Section 46 of the
National League constitution covers
the case. Failure to furnish to per-
son designated by the home club the
batting order of the visiting team by
10 O'Clock on the morning of the day
of each game or the evening previous,
if requested" is penalized by fine OF
$40. There is no ground whatever for
the forfeiture of game for failure to
furnish the batting order of its team
either by the home or visiting club.
The offense is Insignificant and the
penalty proportionally small. Patrons
of the game are treated shabbily on the
card question. In justice to purchas-
ers of score cards, all changes in the
batting order or positions OF a team

which the scores are recorded. The
sudden illness of player or an acci-
dent may make it necessary for a man
ager to make several shifts in his team
before or during a game and specta-
tors should be kept informed of them.
During the New Yorks' last visit to
st. Louis, Seymour played right field
in place of Tiernan, who was carded
for that position in the Sunday game.
Not more than one in fifty of the 12,-
600 spectators recognized the pitcher.
In such cases the announcement of the
correction on the blackboard would
have enlightened all the spectators.
Errors on a racing program are cor
rected in this manner and there is no
reason why 1t should not be done when
there Is a variance between the score
card as published and the lineup OF the
teams furnished to the umpire.

ship of the Atlantic League in runaway
style. They were so far ahead by tho
Fourth of July that the League called
the championship race off and divided
the race into two divisions. seybold

batting, with an average of 300. His
fielding was 961.

tion, and finished it with the Boston
team of the same organization. Griffith
took part that year with the two clubs
in SO championship games, and helped
the latter materially in winning the
pennant. He was obtained by the Chi
cago club in 1893 and has been with
that organization ever since, doing
grand work He is a very fine fielder
and is far from a weak batsman.

Sheen rs Beasts Of Burden.

In the northern part of India sheep
are put to a use unthought Of in Eu-
ropean or American countries. They
are made to serve as beasts of burden.
The mountain paths along the foothills
of the Himalayas are so precipitous
that the sheep, more surefooted than
larger beasts, are preferred as burden
carriers. The load for each sheep is
from sixteen to twenty pounds. The
sheep are driven from village to vii
lase, with the wool still growing. and
in each town the farmer shears as
much wool as he can sell there, and
loads the sheep with the grain which
ne receives in exchange. After his
fiock has been sheared he turns 1t
homeward. each sheep having on It's
back small bag containing the pur-
chased grain.

Chicago,s Great Pitcher.

Clark Griffith, the clever pitcher OF
the Chicago club of the National
League and American Association, was
born Nov. 20, 1869, at Nevada, Mo-, but
learned to play ball with semi-profes-
sional team at Bloomington, ILL.,, in
1886. His first regular engagement,
however, was in 1887, when he Joined
the professional team that represented
Bloomington in the Illinois-Iowa
League. His good work that year in
the pitchers position led to his en-
gagement with the Milwaukee team OF
the Western Association, for the sea-
son of 1888. Griffith took part that
year in 20 championship contests,
ranking fourth in the official pitching
averages of the organization. He re-
mained with the Milwaukees during
the next two seasons, taking part in
1889 in so championship games, in 40
of which he occupied the pitchers posi-
ton, and during 1890 took part in 40
championship contests, in all of whic-
he officiated in the pitchers box. In
1891 he began the season with the ST.
