Base Ball Notes.
Tony Proctor must be something of a
hitter. His work with the bat yesterday
for the Easterns probably establishes the
record for this city.
Boston is slowly but surely coming to
the front. -Four straight victories is not
bad for team unable to put forth it's full
strength.

Just now O'Hagan leads the Rochester
batsmen: Hargrove. Syracuse; Cassidy.
Providence; Bransfeld, Worcester; Wally

Myers of Hartford leads the whole bunch,

Bobby" Lowe BostOn's veteran second
baseman, has fallen off to great extent
in his fielding, while at the bat he is lining
them out harder than ever before. This Is

Barrett and Tenney made nose-and-nose
| finish for first base in the first inning of
| Wednesdays game, in which Tenney won
| out. Barrett had reached first on balls,
and on a signal started for second Just
| as CorcOran hit the ball. The sphere trav-

| and Beckley acting as assistants. with
| Lowe and Sullivan as the victims.
| The Chicagos are particularly weak at
| bat. They have won all their lames by
| small scores. That tells the story. They
| only win when either one or another of
| their star box men is performing at his
| best. Garvin held the Phillies down to
| two runs and was beaten. The team as a

| metal there: and the closer the struggle
| gets to the goal the more this will be no
ticed.
