Fred Jevne Of Chicago long known as an
umpire, is dead at Denver. He was a good
fellow and decidedly popular with all who
knew him. Death was the result of fall

DreyfuS says that aside from Merritt
the New York state league pitcher, no new

the end of the season.. He has several men
in view, but will not try them until next
spring.

What pity it is that the present base
ball war will prevent meeting between
the pennant winners of the National and
American Leagues. In case PittSburg and
Chicago win out, and there is now no good
reason why this should not occur, a series
of games between the clubs would not only
produce some first-class sport, but would
be- worth a barrel of money to the club
owners and the players.
COmiskey does not regard the coming
eastern trip as a particularly hard one,
and says his White Stockings have the
American League pennant as good as won.
The team plays thirteen games on the
trip, and an even break will ciuch the pen

Callahan are once more in good shape and
can be depended on to do their full share
toward winning games.

David Jones, the youngster whom Man
ager Duffy secured from the Three-I
League, made great impression upon
Chicagoans He made his first appearance
in big league last Sunday. and some of
his work in left field was phenomenal. In
the eighth inning he ran from his position
nearly to the place where Conroy stood and
caught a hard fly with one hand A few
moments before this he had run back into
the crowd and gobbled one that looked safe.
His only success in the batting line was a
home run in the second inning of the first
game.-Chicago Chronicle.
Fred Clarke of the Pittsburgs was asked
last Monday in Cincinnati to what he at
tributed the excellent work of his team
this season, and he replied: In the first
place, We had strong ball team when we
started into the race 1t was in good con-
dition, and when weak spot developed
Mr. Dreyfus did not hesitate to get man
to fill 1t to satisfaction Immediately Fur
thermore, our pitchers have been of the
best, the team has played together and
there has been no swell-headedness in our
ranks. Every man on the team is satisfied
with his lot; we have all worked together
and perhaps we owe something to good
luck, for they say that all winning teams
do | never saw a crowd of players more
interested in their work, however. They
appreciate the clubs kind treatment and
want to say that the players feel as proud
of their good showing in the race as does

The season has been a most profitable one
for Comiskey. Even allowing for the exag-
gerated attendance figures given out by en-
thusiastfc partisans, 1t Is safe to estimate
the total receipts on the south side grounds
at S115.0D. Add to this sum about $50 600
as the White Sox's share upon the road, de-
duct possibly 1000 paid out to visiting
clubs. and Comiskey has about 100000 out
OF which to pay his bills. The salary list Of
the Chicago club will run to about $34, 900
that IS, for players alone Rent, ground at
taches and the innumerable expenses Of a
club will easily double this for the whole
season. Seventy thousand dollars may be
accepted as n good estimate of Comiskey's
expenses, and profit of $50, 600 will closely
represent his velvet for the year. No won
