Charley Snyder. the local umpire, has at
last been selected for a permanent place
on Pre- sident Young's staff of umpires
With the coming of Snyder. one of the
present staff will have to be let out. and
from indications the chances are that Nc
Carr will be the man.
1t is reported that Duncan will be re-
turned to Toronto when Catcher kittridge
gets back in the game. The Canadians are
regularly since the little fellow Joined the
Senators. Should Casey be let out by the
Brooklyns. the chances are that he will be
gobbled up by Manager Irwin as substitute
catcher. but that reported Louisville-Wag-
ner deal has 'fakish'' color.
Everything Is explained. Baltimore beats
Chicago at base ball because McGraw hyp-
notices the umpires. and when Washington
beats Chicago, it is because Washington Is
cicse enough to Baltimore to be within the
range of McGraw's power.-Chicago Record.
Patsey Tebeau is Disguised with the raw
deal his team received at Baltimore. I'VE
were deliberately robbed out of three
games by Umpire Hunt" said the st. Louis
chieftain. He acted like a man in a
trance McGraw moved him around like a
man on a checkerboard. Although Nc
Graw had all the best of it. H. himself
sickened on Hunt. You're an 1s-karat
dummy he yelled at Hunt. Then he look
ed at me as if he thought was going to
dispute 1t. Instead. l smil d. and l shouted
back: L am with you. Mugsey For once
We agree. He is dummy. '-Cincinnau
Times-Star.
Scientific batting is fast pushing the slug
gers to the rear Tenney. keeier, Burkett,
McGraw, Kelly and Beaumont are batsmen
of the progressive order, who try to place
the ball and hit at the ball in different
ways, thereby keeping the pitchers and
fieIders on the guess.-Boston Globe.
1t is doubtful if there has ever been
season in which many good young pitch
ers have blossomed out in the league. 1t is
the feature of the year next to the stand
taken by the Baltimore club. Nearly every
manager in the country has Eagged one or
more good men by going cunning for them.
Pittsburg only made six hits on knepper
on Saturday. John O'Brien made two of
those.
The New York and Louisville series ended
in a tie, each having won and lost seven
games. New York made rs and Louisville
20 runs.
President Young has received notification
of the death of his father yesterday at Am
sterdam, N. Y. aged ninety-one years
Most of the western clubs We're travelling
homeward Saturday from their invasion of
the east but they all played yesterday ex-
cept Pittsburg. Tebeaus TerrorS gave the
Reds a good licking on their own grounds,
and thereby st. Louis stepped UP to fifth
place and showed Cincinnati into sixth. This
puts the Orioles one game further ahead of
their nearest opponents.
The westernerS did not make a very good
record in the east They won twenty-five
clubs New York, strange to say, won the
greatest percentage of games against the
visiting westerners The Giants beat Gin
cinnati four straight after the Reds had
beaten both Brooklyn and Boston badly
Brooklyn two straight and Boston three
out OF four. Next to New York. the Orioles
made the best record, winning seven and
losing two Philadelphia came next with
won 3 lost; Brooklyn, Wen, lost: Bos-
ton, won, lost, and Washington, L won
and lost
During the past week Syracusans had an
opportunity of getting acquainted with w.
H. Watkins of base ball fame. Mr.. Wat
kins arrived early last week and witnessed
several games at Star Park. There is moth
ing definitely known to the occasion of
Mr.. Watkins being here, but very likely the
veteran manager is looking about for young
talent. Mr. Watkins is sure that there will
be no fight on with the big league next sea-
son, but that a new league will be on the
carpet is a certainty. Several cities were
mentioned and they are all good ones
Sporting News. Mr. Watkins IS close to
President Brush and his remarks about
new league are very important
