playing the st. Louis and Chicago clubs.
wllter Burnham's club in Scranton
still leads the Atlantic league. 1t Is one
Of the strongest teams In any Of the
minor leagues, and the Portland manager
is certainly open to congratulations. On
the afternoon of Memorial Day he played
to 4,0Oo people and the receipts from the
game were $l2l6. This doesn't look n
great deal as IL the Atlantic league would
disband just yet
Mark Polhemus went to Portsmouth,
N. H., on Memorial Day and showed
that he is still able to play. He made
two OF his characteristic long hits. Wal

cut league. He said yesterday that he

assists. This is the best record for the
season.
Amos Rusie has been putting in some
active practice at his home in Indianapo-
lis and writes Manager Ewing that he
will come on to New York within few
days. The big fellow is very anxious to
be taken back into the fold. With him
in the game the New Yorks viii be a
decided factor In the race.
Lajoie seems bound to be In disgrace
part OF every season aud his most recent
fall Is the worst of all.
Sheckard is doing SHINE fine outfeld
work for Brooklyn, but he is hardly able
to fill the place of Kelley as batsman.
Camel has made a hit with Chicago
and gives indications Of becoming as
great a player as his brother Charles,
who for years was one Of the stars Of fast
company.
Cooley has added much strength to the
Pittsburg club, being the best first base
man that that team had since Beckley.
The poor showing of Phillips has been
a disappointment to the Cincinnati club.
In fact, the Reds under the management
of Allen have been disappointment all
around this season.
Cy Young Is very much ON the in-and-
out order this season, one day pitching
q fine game to be followed on the nexa
by being touched up in savage STYLE
Little Bean is fielding in his old time
brilliant manner for Worcester. Jack
Sharrott has been out of the game the
last few days.
