The battle between the east and west

poor work Wednesday Frank pitched the

AS the result of the suspension of Short
stop Elberfeld by President Ban Johnson
of the American League. the Detroit base
ball team and franchise are for sale. Presi-
dent Burns and Manager StallingS declared
this Wednesday. Some time ago Mr.. Burns
expressed the belief that Detroit was be-
ing Disseminated against, and now he feels
satisfied that he is not welcome in the
American League. Elberfeld was accused

There is evidently something radically
wrong with the Phillies. They could not
possibly play such erratic ball If things
were as they should be. Messrs. Reach
and Rogers. it seems, owe 1t to the loyal
support of the game in this city to make

anything wrong, straighten out matters at
once.-Philadelphia Ledger.
Catcher Fred Buelow is giving the St
Louis management some trouble by refus-
ing to abide by its edict to report to the
Denver team of the Western League. What
he wants is a chance to sign with another
OF the major league teams. Instead of
complying with orders he went to his home
in Detroit
Pittsburg begins a series of three games
at Philadelphia this afternoon. So far as
the Phillies are concerned this will be one
of the most important series OF the sea-
son. The Pittsburgers have got a hold on
second place, and they will very naturally
want to tighten it at the expense of the
Quakers. If the Phillies expect to cut any
figure at all during the rest of the season
they will have to take on immediate
brace. They will have to make up their
lost ground at home, not at all.
Max Fleischmann has corralled an excel
lent 1eft-handed pitcher in young White,
who plays under the name of Harris. The
twelve men in seven innings, shows that
he has a most peculiar sharp curve. which
fools the batsmen. He also displayed good
speed and control. White is a young fell
low. and he will improve steadily. He ought
to be in fast company in year or So
Cincinnati Enquirer. Can this be White
of the Georgetown team?
Just how that man Taylor of Chicago
wins is a mystery. He does not have ex-
traordinary speed, his curves do not hop
or wiggle and his control is just about
good as the average. Apparently he is
another AID Gumbert in the pitching line.
Ad pitched year in and year out. always
winning $50 per cent of his games, and
had nothing, that is far any one
could see.'-Chcago News.
Thomas Thomas, who made a reputation
this year of warming up more than any
other twirler in the league, left St Louis
last night for Indianapolis, where he will
join the Kansas City club. Thomas PLAYED
with Buelow in Detroit last year. This
battery was regarded as one of the best
in that league. st. Louis has a string. to
Thomas. He is good twirler, has lots of
speed and good control Tebeau's rubber
