Baseball Gossip.

There is no reason to doubt that Man
ager Manning. during the present tour
of the Washington club over the Western
circuit, will make strong effort to sign
two or three fast players for the Sena-
tors for next season. He Is hot on the
trail of a first baseman and outfielder
and the prospects are very bright for his
landing them by the time the local play
ers return home, September IL
Although Mr.. Manning has been inter
viewed at various times regarding the
story that he has signed a number OF
the Philadelphia National League team
for the coming season. he has never veri-
fed or denied the story; yet those who are
in a position to know strongly assert
that when the Washingtons get to work
next spring the batting order will con-
tain the names of Delehanty, outfielder;
Jacklitsch, catcher: Wolverton, iniielder
and orth and Townsend, pitchers This
quintette represent The backbone of the
Philadelphia National League Club of
this season and should add Il tower of
strength TO the Senators. With the first
basenan Manning is after, Far
Coughlin at the third corneriof the dia-
mond, Washington Will have an infield
that Will not only stand high up in the
fielding department. but Will doubtless
face them. Jacklitsch will help out won
dcrfully in the backstOp department be
sides being handy man TO have at the
bat With Townsend and Orth doing any
thing like their present excellent work
and Mercer, Patten, and GHrfick the
Meaningless will have one ufithe strong
est pitching corps in the league, even if
the club dispensed with. the services of
Gear and Lee. Gear has been great
disappointment to Manager Manning this
season, as he was expected to loom up as
one of the cleverest pitchers III the league
TINS estimate was made after reviewing
his work in Kansas City last season
when he was one of the most successful
pitchers in the American organization
For some reason he has been doing any
thing but good work since he came to
Washington. and has won but small
percentage of his games. although he has
helded cleVerly when used in the outfield
ana has batted, as rule, much better
than the average.
BY the time Manager Manning returns
the local fans will doubtless be able 10
get "A pretty good line on the personnel
of the Senators for next year Even if
the National League should decide to
transfer the Brooklyns to the Capital
city, the American League team would
doubtless attract large audiences, as there
would be little doubt as to the style of
ball that will be put up by the Man

PHOTOGRAPHIC BURGLAR ALARMS.

From The New-Orleans Times Democrat
Il reading I'm of the recent ma gaines an
interesting article on photography aud it's useful

NewYork have rgged up apparatus that will
take the safe blowers picture in fny. Now this
IS a great scheme. The very instant the safe door
is tampered with fuse flashes UP and the picture
OF the safebower is left on the plate and he
knows how it happens. Only two banks, according
to reports, have adopted the plan, but doubt il
will spread and after while will come into gen
