President johnson of the American League"
said Joe Quinn. There is no man connect
ed with base ball today who is much
discussed and lauded by the players is

cessful it is necessary that the umpires be
supported"
Hahn of the Cincinnatis Is generally re-
garded the best left-handed pitcher of
the league. OF late he has easily done the
best pitching of his team. Hahn had diff
ference with the club with regard to sal
AIRY at the beginning of the season which
he was unable to adjust to his salts
faction. His work has shown he was jus
tilted in his stand and deserved all, and
more. too than he asked for.-Boston

The easy manner in which the Breoklyns
tailed those five much needed runs in the
brought back to Charley Farrelrs mind the
days of the old game. when masks and
chest protectors were unknown quantities.

friendly foul tip. which SHE'D over his
head to the tune of Little Bit OF the
Top" The crowd enjoyed real good laugh
over it.

WINGED that Meekins pitching days were
over. The announcement of Meekin'S release
caused no surprise among the fans, for
many wondered that he was retained by
the club long he was. Meekin was
released Internationally. and il is not likely
that any one of the clubs in the National
League will make the big fellow an offer.

third. Nine horses ran.
Getaway led to the canal turn. where
Mrs Langtry's Maluma. ridden by Sloan,
and which hot favorite, fell. Half
way up the straight kleon drew TO the
front. but yielded to Skopos. who won by a
second and third horses. The result was
received with icy silence. In the betting
Skopos was to against, kleon 100 to
against. and Getaway 100 to against.
When Maluma slipped and fell Sloan was
thrown violently to the ground and received
injuries the head that made 1t necessary
to convey him to the hospital. 1t is thought
as it put her shoulder out. After the race
a complaint of foul riding was lodged
with the stewards against Rigby, who was
reprimanded and cautioned.
