Base Ball Notes.
Still another for the Pirates.
And the Champs failed to win.
Algie Mcbride had two doubles and two
singles yesterday.
Old man Van Haltren had his eye with
him, too. getting four safe ones.
Honus Wagner and Bones Ely are both
out of the game, but Tommy Leach is do
ing we'll in place of the latter.
The Brooklyn papers have set UP loud
wall over the recent slump of the cham
pions and call Hanlon to take drastic
measures to bolster up his team.
Mugsy" McGraw is still positive in his
assertions that he will not manage the St.
Louis club next season IL a team should be
placed I'm Baltimore
Pittsburg has now won as many games as
Brooklyn on the season and have lost but
four Ned Hanlon now refuses to
take chances, turning down the proposition
for double-header last Monday with the
Pirates.
Netherlands single to right field in the
seventh inning of yesterdays game was the
only clean hit made off of Lever. Thomas
was bunt, while that made by Lajoie was
a slow, ugly grounder that Leach could not
pick up.
to cope with the Pirates now, and do not
hesitate to say Clarkes team is playing the
best bali in the league.
While Fred Ely is one of the greatest
fielding shortstOps in the league. his alb
sence from the Pittsburg team Is not Sc
riously felt with little Leach filling the
gap. The latter is a clever fielder and
much harder hitter than Ely.
Lever is always pretty sure of beating
the Phillies. He has let them down several
times with two and three hits.
Van Haltren of New York has made 100
hits to date. and twice this season has put
out seven players in center field, which is
the record.
OF eight games played at Philadelphia
this season the Pirates won only three, two
on the first trip.
Pittsburg is playing every bit as fast a
game as the champions these days. and has
a good chance of finishing first.

Brooklyn and lost five. Poor prospects OF
the Reds helping out the Pirates this week.
although they made good start yesterday.
Williams made an almost impossible stop
of a terrific liner yesterday not foot from
the ground off, the bat of Lajoie In the
seventh inning. 1t almost carried him off
his balance. but he held it and thereby
killed a double.
In the first game yesterday the Giants
made& twenty-four safe hits, which Is the
record for the season. Fifteen of the sin
giles were made in the seventh and eighth
innings, which is also the record for two
consecutive innings.
McGraw has taken such drop In his
hitting the past week that he is no longer
pushing Flick hard for championship bat
ting honors- Wagner has passed McGraw,
and the Pittsburger Is now Flick's most
dangerous competitor. he being pretty close
up to the Philadelphia. So say Quaker
scorers
The sensational fielding play Of yester-
days game at Philadelphia was made by
slagle In the sixth inning. Ritch,e put up
a short fly back of third base, which would
have been Impossible for Dolan or Cross to
have caught. and Slagle was told to take

Of his short legs, and with the ball not SIX
inches from the ground threw out his open
hands and the ball stuck. It was a brilliant
effort. and well merited the long applause
that greeted It.
