twirling for Leonard's Syracuse East
ern League team.
How little one can augur from the
opening of a ball game was beautifully
demonstrated Monday at Philadelphia.
Biddy Barrett smashed the second
ball Orth pitched, over the fence into
Broad street and the Reds began
turning hand springs in anticipation
of general fattening of averages. Big
Albert however, smiled gently. and in
the remainder of the game the merry
Allenites managed to gather one run.
James ID. Burns, president Detroit
American League baseball club. said
Monday that the Detroit American
League club was $4,000 to the good on
the season. In other words, Burns has
cleaned up all he paid for the fran
chise and has the clubs franchise
and two parks clear to start in
on next season. Burns says Detroit
will be in the American league next
year under a new five-year agreement,
and that Norman U<id) Elberfed will
not wear Detroit uniform next year
because Of his dirty ball-playing.
Dick Harley has now caught on with
Cincinnati, and is playing splendid
game in the outficld. The eX-George-
town boy is also welding his baton
with marked effect.
Kittredge, Of Worcester, has caught
| about 125 games this season, in mag
nificent style. Kit. has also batted
heavily.
The unofficial averages published of
| the Detroit base ball team shows that
| Frank Dillon, last year the popular
| first baseman of the Scranton team,
| leads the MiChigandcrs with .304 for 120
| games. He just beat out Dick Harley
| who batted 300. Frank also led the
| team in fielding with 09l. In addition
to this he established unto himself a
little record as a slugger by leading in
extra base smites. Twenty two-bag
| gers, seven triples and four home runs
were his portion. Among the bats
| men whom Dillon led We're DuCky
| Holmes Dick Harley. Kid Elberfeld,

On the GridirOn.

FOOTBALL PRACTICE has now
been started with a vim, and all
over the country the long-haired
athletes are getting in trim for the
coming season.
At Harvard Captain Quarterback
Daily is preparing his cohorts for the
fray, and while he has an abundance
of talent behind the line and has more
good halves and full backs than he
knows Just what to do with, is shy of
strong line men.
Princeton also suffers In this line
and is sorely in need of some heavy
weight players to add to the strength
of the eleven.
Yale will be strong this year. espec-
tally in the back field, where 1t is likely
that Hale, last years star center and
tackle, Will probably be utilized.
Out West things are kept lively, and
Stagg of the University of Chicago is
gathering a splendid eleven. One OF
the most notable members of his squad
is McDonnelly, an eX-member of the
Chicago police force. The former guar
dian of law and order stands feet
| inches, weighs 2j0 pounds, and can
sprint q little, as he Is able to do
hundred yards in only little over ten
| seconds.
Local football enthusiasts are eager
| ly awaiting the opening of the season.
The st. Thomas, High School and
| Lackawanna teams will all be made up
of young, aggressive players, and
while the college boys will perhaps
have the heaviest eleven on the Scran-
| ton grldron, still the difference In
weight will not be so marked as to give
them any very great advantage over
their opponents. and some very close,
tightly contested matches can be antic-
| ipated.
