SPORTING NOTES.
IT was a Harvard year.

White the sun SHINES.
Lewis and Kubic should make good
race tomorrow at Springfield.
Kuntzsch of Syracuse is having hard
shedding in his attempt to play SUNDAY
ball.
Hahn of Cincinnati pitched u innings
without sending a man to first on called
balls.
1t begins to look as if Billy o'Connor
will easily make the pace of the Eastern
League.
The little South Worcester lad now with
the Worcesters has a batting average of
.4i4 already.
Burkett and Childs were hooted at by a
St Louis Sunday crowd and the Cleve-
lands cheered.
1t is said that the Tod Sloan assault
case has been settled by the payment of
$1,000 to the waiter.
There will be an athletic meet on Holmes
field tomorrow afternoon, which is given
by the city of Cambridge.
Eight seems to be a winner with Wor-
cester. Eight runs are a good many to be
made when playing against the Worces-
tiers.
The drought made this season bad one
for farmers, but not for the Farmers who
wear the word worcester" on their shirt
fronts.
There may be good reasons for swing
ing f1elders about from one position to
another, but good teams don't follow the
practice.
The Worcesters are demonstrating that
they are a great club on the road. Re
ports from other cities show they are a
hustling team.
If the Quinsigamond International re-
gatta secures Joe Mcguire as an entry It's
success will be assured beyond any posi-
bility of doubt.
The Worcesters play Tuesday, but the
law on ladies' day is off when 1t comes on
a THEY'LL ghttl4 ike

Manager Murray OF Providence will
| change his mind about his pennant win
ners after the two defeats by the genuine
| perspective champions.
| If there was any sculler in New Eng
land who dared meet Ten Eyck Spring
| field people would be privileged to see the
champion row tomorrow.
| Sir Thomas Upton is talking of Ameri-
can fairness In strain that is far differ
| ent from what Dunraven said after his
| Valkyrie went home defeated.
| The Holy Cross players are doing finely
| in Southbridge. 1t must be calling on Fox
and Brennan, who are playing on Web
ster, to see their comrades beat them.
The New England regatta tomorrow
would be a big success if Boston clubs as
sisted with entries, as they have been
| aided by Springfield clubs in past years.
| Joe Kelley. captain of the Brooklyn
team, says that pitchers lose confidence
when they are taken out of the game too
| often, and yet no club is doing this very
| thing as often as Brooklyn.
One of the English journals suggests
| that a good test of yachts would be for
an American yacht to cross the ocean and
sail for the Royal Victoria cup. The pa
per adds the cup would never go back.
| There appears to be something wrong
with clubs at the lake this year. 1t is
many years since there has been such
| good material in the clubs, but none of the
| oarsmen or canoeists have done any work
yet.
| Many people from Fall River, President
Marston's town, encouraged the Worces-
| ters yesterday. President Marston says
| the people of that town are hot after The
| Spy every day to see how the WOrcesters
| get along.
Britishers talk about the unfairness OF
the terms of the races for the Americas
| cup to the challenger. But didn't the
America have to cross the ocean, ano
didn't she do Just as the British yachts
are doing, except to lose?
James T. Roche, Jr., captain of the
| Harvard track team, was in this city yes
terday. The American college athletes
sail for England Wednesday. Capt. Roche

McGraw says of Jennings: IT would

soft heads that are making a bluff at

to prop up our infield, we would finish nc
