as he did when he was young fellow.
The American league circuit of 1901

disappointment, and it's geographical
location is against it.
One OF the greatest pitching feats of
the season was that of the young Hart

two games in succession in one dav
against the Rochesters and winning
both games, with but eight hits against
him in the first game and three in the
second.

Here in Detroit everybody be ievas that
the American league is being run
solely in the interest Of the Chicago
club. Things have happened, or rath-

confirmed this belief, but if the belief
were absolutely confirmed there is no
reason why Detroit and Magnate Burns
should consider themselves the objects
of the leagues special wrath. Burns
paid $4,000 for the Detroit franchise,
but $4,000 wouldn't buy it from him,
his buster to the contrary, notwith-
standing. Burns stands a chance of
clearing $4,000 this year. The game
is drawing like fy-blister. Burns

MILWAUKEE'S STAR OUT
FIELDER.

Fred l.. Ketchem, one Of the out
fielders of the Milwaukee club of the
American league, was born at Cort-
land, N. Y, on July 2S, 1877, and
learned to play ball in amateur games
in and around that city His debut as
a professional player was made with
the Cortland club of the New York
State league, and he remained with it
until the latter part of 1899, when he
was secured by the Louisville club.
He began this season with the Wilkes
Barre club of the Atlantic league, and
after the collapse of that organization
went to Milwaukee. Ketchem belongs

Players to Act with American League.
1t seems that the National League
Is to have a strong rival in the field
next year. Chicago now seems to be
the spot where the league is to be
made. That Ban Johnson and the
American League magnates have de-
clared war against the National
is certain. The players OF the Nation
al League, or the leaders among the
players, are anxious to help form
rival league is also certain, and, from
here, it seems certain that Johnson
and his magnates viii join issues with
the revolving players and that all in
terests antagonistic to the National
League will combine to form new
American League. Johnson will not
tell his plans. He says he is an ex-
pansionist and that since the forma-
ton of the Western League the object
of Comiskey, Saulspaugn and the other
magnates has been to expand gradu-
ally. He says St. Louis is coed ter
ritory and he declares Cincinnati
might make a good American League
town. About Baltimore and Washing
ton he is silent McGraw and the
eastern organizers are caring for that
end of the game. The American
League has asserted its Independence
all through the season. 1t owes no al
legiance to the National and it directs
its own affairs firmly without regard
to the National.
President Hart declares he is not
worried He has cornered enough
players to require special train to
carry his club next season and thinks
Lotus will bring a winner to Chicago

down Of the Chicago team by the In

home life and duties she greatly re-
