 Concerning wefers, lthe sprinter, now with St Louis, Jesse Burkett says: s'He goes after a fly ball well. judges perfectly and holds it surely. He will be an educated batter rather than 8 natural one. His eye is good and he will remodel his swing.

From all over the circuit yesterday the old cry went up of rain or vet grounds. and, judging from the weather last night, there are no indications that thcIe will be a game to-day. Meanwhile, magnates, managers, players and fans are chaf- ing impatiently over the long delay. Salaries are going on just tn esame. but the turnstiles are not clicking and the directors of the various club or RanIzatfons will have to del1e into pockets for the awherewith' to recom- pense the players when salary day comes around.
