1t is said that John McGraw got himself
in bad with his constituents in Baltimore
because he patronized a St. Louis establish
ment for the uniforms of his team. When
the Baltimoreans began to kick about
Johnnie's patronizing outside houses While
he gets his living in Baltimore, he tried to
stall them OFF with the shrewd plea that he
did not want to patronize any house the
National League patronizes. Ye: the several
cubs In the National League patronize the
same house, ii is said. among them the st.
Louis team. McGraw Is a wise fellow, but
he was not polite in that deal.
Roy Evans, who was with St. Louis in
1897, is now pitching for San Francisco in
the California League. He had a very good
slow ball.
81 would sooner see one of M players
drunk than see him sitting up late at night
PLAYING poker or even talking or reading,t

of Griffith's American League players may
take his bunch on this n get a barrel Ct
benzine on board whenever they feel at

Donlin is playing left field for McGraw
in Baltimore. They say Mickey is mailing the
ball we'll, but what he does not know about
playing left would make Kruger a great
base runner.
That eminent picker of dead ones" Hen
~ Merrill of Wilkesbarre, says that Sutor
Sullivan. the slowest man that ever Wore a
shoe. made better plays at shortstop Than
Ed Williamson. Hugh Jennings or Herman
Long ever did, and that Sullivan should be
back in the National League. Just think of
that.
In pleading the case of the Philadelphia
club against La Joie. Colonel Rogers, own
er of that organization and a lawyer, made
an argument which endured two hours. HIS
point was that the reserve clause of the Ma
tional League contract, signed by Lajoie in
1900. should entitle the Philadelphia Nation
al League Club to that players services in
1901. Lajoie did not think so, and signed
with the Philadelphia American Club.
1t is said that Win Mercer gets $500 for
the season from the Washington club. 1t
is hard TO see Winnie the Raven as a $500
man. But the highest-priced man of all
is Dick Harley, who never could go back on
