PITCHER ORTH DELIGHTS IN
BLANKING OPPOSING TEAMS

Pitcher Al Orth of Philadelphia thinks his
victories are not complete unless shut-outs
are recorded against a team which he OPP
poses. Thus far this season Orth has won
sixteen games and lost eight, a percentage
of 600.
The ST. Louis. New York. Boston and
Cincinnati teams have suffered shut-outs at
Orth's hands.
The Beaneaters have been blanked thrice
by this twirler. and Cincinnati failed TO
score I'm two games when Orth was on the
slab for Philadelphia. Orth got a humping
at the hands IF Boston Thursday. bu; in
the four preceding games in which he
pitched he had scored three whitewasAes.
Boston was BANKED three times in success
sion by Orth. hut got even Thursday by
landing on him hard.

VIII Enter Swift GreyhOunds in
American WAterIOO mt st. Louis.


Coursing ren on the Western plains are
greatly interested in the running of the
American Waterloo. which will be held in
this city in October. They regard this stake
as the greatest greyhound event of the
year. and undoubtedly the meeting this fall
will be one of the greatest coursing events
ever held in America. Judge John Grace Is
coming from San Francisco to officiate In
the saddle. and this alone should insure the
success of the meet. Tn stake will be run
at Pastime Park, on a greatly improved
course. and the sport should prove very at
tractivc.
A leading San Francisco paper. speaking
Of the event. says: 1.-The American Water
loo will be held in St. Louis on October 5
and 6. and the American Derby a week
later. but Judge Grace will stop for the Wa
terloo only. as he will have to get back here
to judge the John Grace Cup. The Derby
is a produce stake for whelps of 1900. Still
later will be held the Mississippi Futurity.

CINCINNATI MAY LOSE
JAKE RECKLEY NEXT YEAR

Is noncommital on the subject. Beckley Is
a large part of the Cincinnati team. He
vies with Sam Crawford for the batting
honors, and as a first baseman ranks high.
He is a favorite all over the National
League circuit because OF his easy-going
ways.
Beckley delights in chaff and rarely ever
loses his head. but he has a most exas-
perating way of 'joshing" an opposing
team. especially when the Reds have the
upper hand. Although King BID McPhee
ostensibly manages the Cincinnati team
from the bench. Beckley is the life Of the
Reds In the field. He is a ''hoodoo'' to the
Pittsburg Pirates. On more than one &C.
casion he has materially interfered with a
Pittsburg victory. and so often has he done
this that it is a subject of general COM
ment whenever the Reds meet the Pirates.

Boston leads in team batting and the Ath-
