Base BAH Notes.
Western race horses are like base ball
teams in one respect. They are all right in
their own country, but when they come east
they look like car fare.
Reports from Cincinnati Saturday said
that Buck Freeman had been lost in this
city while the Boston team was waiting
here between trains Friday afternoon
Barry played first in his place, and did
well.
Hedrick played his first game with st.
Louis Saturday for over a month, on ac-
count Of injuries. and his work was the
feature of the contest. His home run en-
abed the Cardinals to beat the Giants.
Leach played fine game at third for
Pittsburg Saturday and. in addition his
timely hit enabled the Pirates to defeat the
Phillies.
Buffalo Is having hard time of it on the
though playing good ball. the Bisons have
been unable to land but one victory out of
six games played.
Several local correspondents for outside
papers have a habit of late of getting
Uncle Nick Young into hot water by
sending out interviews purportng to come
from him. Mr.. Young very rarely talks for
publication, and Is unusually discreet when
it comes to making public any base ball
news of Importance.
AT Pittsburg. Pa, Ward NJ. Snyder aged
twenty-three years. catcher of the Home
wood Base Ball Club, muffed foul tip in

ball struck him over the heart. He fell to
the ground dead.
The Syracuse Base Ball Club forfeited
two games to Worcester Saturday the Sy-
racuse players refusing to go on the field
unless their salaries, amounting to 81 100
were paid. A new corporation. with 5000
capital stock, has been formed and stock
Of 81 $50 Is subscribed.
The pitchers who have the distinction If
shutting out the hard-hitting Philies this
season are Hahn, Lever and Taylor, the
last named doing the trick twice. OF the
Philadelphia pitchers. Fraser Piatt Orth
and Donahue have each shut-out to their
credit
Frank Foreman has been winning for
Buffalo with some degreeQ Of regularity.
Foreman never was atle1 toEreconcile HIM
self to the fact that he fWastnot one of the
best pitchers in the League. When he was
with the Reds he frequentlysad that there
was only one pitcher in ahe league whom he
acknowledged as his superior, and that was
Rusie. However. Foreman was the only
man who rated him as high as that.-Cin-

President Ebbetts oflBrosklyn. while in
Philadelphia some weeks ago. said that the
attendance at Brooklyn averaged fully
5000 people a day, and he WAS apparently
indignant because oftthe story that his
team teal was to be Transferred TO Washington.
Yet one league team played in Brooklyn
last week to a total gate receipts of slO2
Capt. Dick Padden of Chicago is playing
magnificent ball at second Just now He is
covering great amount of ground. is bat
ting over 300 clip and IS. all things con-
sidered. the best base runner on the team.
He is proving an ideal captain, for there Is
a decided Improvement in the team work
since the club came back. Capt. Dick Is
popular with his men, and, strange as It
may seem. there is not clique faction
in the team. In Padden Comiskcy has the
best second baseman and the most success
full field captain to be found in the Amer
lean League.-Chcago Tribune
Catcher VIII Clarke is quite a s'ugger this
season. his average with Boston being
800. ]. c. Morse, writing of him. says:
There Is no doubt that it is a shame to
lose the services Of such a slugger as Clarke
in a single game. He has fairly earned his
right to the head Of the batting list If all
Of the men batted as effectively as he the
Boston club would now be easily in first
place. Clarke is a hustler and enlivens the
game greatly. Fancy keeping such man
on the bench! He ought to be in the game
every day he Is able to play"
Cincinnati certainly picked up a valuable
man in Crawford. Every move that he
makes proclaims natural hitter and he Is
the first legitimate successor to Sam
Thompson. because he has so much Of the
old Philadelphia players style. With his
long. wide swing. his position at the bat
and his ability to hit the ball squarely he
reminds spectators greatly Of the lanky
Outfielder who could hit as far and as often
as any of them The first time that Craw-
ford played In New York he was inclined
to be a little "wabbly" in his position He
has overcome that, and Is fielding about as
sharply as any new man of recent years.
Association with other players has taught
him great deal about the game and there
are indications that Crawford will be a
landmark in Cincinnati for many seasons
to come.-New York Telegram. Almost the
same comments were made In The Star
when this player made his first appearance
in Washington.
