Base Ball Notes.

| Detroit IOF TIE fetSt Time to-day
| That notorious Chicago team plays the
| Senators tomorrow
Coughlin is dead sure on high fouls, and
| catches yesterday.
1t is a rare occurrence when one error
gives game of bali away but when Wal
dron's hit shot through Holmes yesterday
| the trick was performed.
The sport that should be forthcoming
from the three games with Chicago will
probably be worth going miles to see, and
as they will be the last of the season all
the faithful will be on hand.
| Notwithstanding the latest published bat
ting averages. which place Barrett as
leading the Detroits. Shortstop Elberfeld
| is doing the best stick work, with an aver
age around .32O.
Outfielder Brown of the Toronto team but
| Manager Barrows evidently got his little
Bit for getting him to join the Phillies.
Manager Manning will probably remain
season closes and then will go to Kansas
| City to wind up his business connections
| there. He will return to Washington about
the first of the year and will be here per
| Base ball is funny business. Yeager and
| Burke were released by the American
| League to and found berths with the Pitts
burg club, champions of the National
League.
Andy Freedman and Jim Hart deny the
report that they are at the head of a syn
dicate forming $5O000.000 trust to control
professional base ball in this country.
Pink Hawley was imported by the Kau-
kauna team yesterday to pitch against the
Appletons in the closing game of the state
league series, and when the game was over
Hawey had been batted for twenty hits
and Kaukauna was defeated by the over
whelming score of 16 to 3-Milwaukee Sem
tinel.
Matthewson got off the train at Column
bus on Sunday night to get piece of pie
When he went to rejoin the Giants the
train was gone. Matty was left behind
without a cent or coat. Secretary Knowles
telegraphed him money and Matty rolled
into Pittsburg Monday evening.
Bill Everitt is in Chicago for a two
weeks stay and may take whirl with
the big league next year. His rheumatism
is all gone out of the throwing arm. It
was this that sewed up his real game
in Washington and sent the scribes after
him. Eventually the roasting sent Jimmy
Manning up in the air and he released the
ex-Chicago captain.-Chicago Chronicle.
No game of the season has resulted in
such grand work in the shortstop's posi-
tion. Davis and Dahlen fairly outdid
themselves Tuesday and seemed to be run
ming race for popularity. Davis ten as
sists are about the best record of the sea-
son.--New York Herald. The writer evil
IDENTIFY forgot Elberfeld's twelve assists
three put-outS, no errors in the game be-
| tween Detroit and Washington at Detroit
September 2 or Lajoies sixteen chances
without an error.
The Phillies and Brooklyn are having a
merry race of it for second place with
the chances just about even for an exciting
finish Both teams wound up their easy
thing and will today start a series the re-
suit of which will about determine the is
sue. The Phillies open in st. Louis and
Brooklyn stacks up against the Pirates,
which looks like case of pay your money
and take your choice
President Charles Comiskey was probably
the happiest man in Chicago Monday when
he heard of Boston'S dual defeat at the
hands of the Tigers. This makes SIX cham
picnships which this veteran of base ball
has won. Two he has won while at the head
of the Chicago White Stockings and while
with the ST. Louis Browns he won two
more. Then while at the mound city he
captured the worlds championship twice
The Boston National League clubs deal
by which al Buckenberger becomes the
clubs manager went through last night.
Seize has been in charge of the club since
1890. He succeeded James a. Hart. now
president Of the Chicago club. Long, Mich
OILS and Lowe have been on the team since
he took charge, and this is the first break
in the quartet.
To all appearances Tom LOTUS is close to
the affairs of the American League and it
has even been said that he would become
a manager in the new league next year
He and President Johnson have been to-
gether a number of times since the Or
phans returned from the east. When the
announcement of the American Leagues
plans will be made is not known, but
when 1T does come it is expected that it
will cause no end of surprise.-Cleveland
Plain Dealer. There will be little surprise
at anything the American League does
| After the foray of 1907 nothing can be sur
| prising
1T seems to me-" says Manager Dono-
| van Of st. Louis that the National League
would have benefited by it's experience of
| last season and would try to get as many
! of it's players possible in line for next
| year before the present season closes. But
| they appear to be making the same mis-
! take this year that they did last, and one
| Of these fine mornings they are liable to
wake UP and find that some of their
| choicest stock has been stolen"
There is not the slightest doubt that
| Ed. Delahanty has signed an American
! League contract, and that he Is working
| tooth and toenail for that organization"
| said Secretary Knowles of the Giants. Il
know that he approached one of our play
| er3 and offered him contract for next
| season. He Is doing his work right on the
| ball field. and / tell you 1t Is having a
| telling effect 1 do not doubt that Della
| hanty has secured quite number of play
| ers for the American League. Cincinnati
Enquirer.
| The Athletics. while they cannot actually
| get third place. have a remote chance Of
| tieing Detroit for the position, but this is
| hardly probable, as Detroit has to win but
| one more game to hold on to the place
While the Athletics Will nave TO go through
| without losing bracket.
| Jack Farrell, who has made Washing
| tonians forget that Joe Quinn ever played
| second base for them. was one OF the car
| load lot drafted by the Cincinnati club in
| the fall of 80. says Rem Mulford, j. Far
rell was then at Newcastle Bob Allen
! didn't want the covingtonian and he was
| turned over to Kansas City with others in
| the Red net at that time. including the
Californians, Iberg and Sullivan. That pair
| never left the Pacific coast. Farrell. like
| Jimmy Collins. was an outfielder, and In
| dire distress Jimmy Manning put him at
second. He has made good.-Cleveland
| Leader. 1g gts
| Townsends pitching was OF the gilt
| edged variety In only one inning did ne
| seem to be in distress. That was In the
eighth, when he gave three bases on balls
| in succession with one man out. Wagner,
| the third man, was given his base inten-
| tionally. The youngster evidently knew
what he was about. as he struck out
Bransfield, the next nam up. and Barry
took care Of Ratcheys crack.-Pittsburg
| Chronicle-T Telegraph.
A st. Louis dispatch says that Burhett.

secured by President Kiliiiea, which leaves
