Base Ball Notes.
Another 1900 attendance at Brooklyn yes
terday.
Pretty hard on ST. Louis to lose two
games by over-the-fence hits.
Bill Clarke of the Bostons Is simply out
doing himself at the bat this season. Tues
day he placed five safe hits to his credit.
The New YOrks must be playing inside
ID Iar fob bold nP
the reins. Tuesday they won out with only
five hits to their credit.
Catcher Sullivan of the Bostons hit the
ball over the fence Monday and won the
game in the last inning. This is the second
time "Sully' has turned this trick Pitts
burg being the victim on his first hit.
ICY" Swain was back in the game for
Fort Wayne Monday after a two weeks
suspension. He held the Newcastle team
down to two hits and the Fort Waynes
Charley Anterior of Buffalo had triple
a double and single to his credit in Mon
days game at Milwaukee. His hitting
alone won the game for the Bisons.
Slagle's catch Of Woods fly In the sixth
was a ringer. After making the catch he
fell and rolled up the track, holding the
ball.
days games, show that John McGraw now
leads the league in batting. Flick is only
two points behind, our John Wagner is a
good third and Lajoie is fourth. Yester
days games did not change this order.
Il have been watching Sheckard for three
years. says Manager Allen, land have
been trying all this season to get him for
from Hanlon. Sheckard would round up
our team nicely, but at present there is no
prospect Of our landing him.
Jimmy Burke is back on Milwaukee's
third corner. The ST. Louis boy has re-
covered his form. He and Germany Hart
man. the old Brownie. now with Chicago
are rated as the crack third basemen of the
American Hickey of Indianapolis has them
both beaten in fielding, but is lamentably
weak with the bat.
Van Hatren has been doing great work
with the bat: and Hickman. who had pre-
viously failed more times to land than any
man the New York team, has proved
himself wonder in the last few days
In Saturdays game. for example. these two
men got five of the eight hits tailed to the
credit of the New Yorks.
Pittsburgs strong teams and its weak
ones fare alike in the east. They can't win
here. The greatest team Pittsburg had
prior to this year was in 1893. when the
Pirates finished second in the race on the
heels of Boston. Yet in that year there
was no better tale to tel, the Pirates losing
the majority Of the games they played in
the east. They played twenty-eight games
winning ten and losing eighteen.
The eastern clubs are having matters
pretty much their own way just at present
Out Of the twenty-five games that have
been played in the east during this trip
but five were won by western teams St
Louis CD, Cincinnati and Chicago CD. Mon
day however, the western clubs made a
better showing, as two of the games were
tied.
Brooklyn continues to play good ball, and
at their present speed the champions will
soon have the penant clinched. So far
this has been remarkable season. 1t has
developed many surprises. Critics believed
that Philadelphia would give the Brook
lyns a hard race for the coveted flag but
this is not likely now. The Quakers are
playing good ball again, but their weak
pitching force will prevent them from
| reaching the top of the pennant ladder.
The league political pot is boiling. There's
not the slightest doubt about that The
| Talleyrand OF the league-Co,onel Rogers
| used TO call him the Marplot before the two
kissed and made up-John T. Brush, has
been swinging around the league circuit
and it's good betting that he is not making
the trip for the benefit OF his health 1t IS
| not unlikely that the 'Dinky-Dink" with a
new and powerful cast, will be revived for
the benefit of some one of the league mem
bers. If 1t wasn't for that ten-year agree
