days ago, after consulting his lawyer in
Louisville
McGraw's Baltimore team will play to-
morrow at Weehawken, across the Hudson
river from the New York Polo Grounds.
1t is said that Connie Mack is looking for
some of Comiskey's extra men. The Phila-
delphia aggregation has been somewhat
crippled by the loss of Willis, Mathewson
and Davis and the sickness of Milligan.
The sound of Lajoies base-hit SmaShes
has begun to be heard in the land He had
home run yesterday, a three-bagger and
four singles. Right Fielder Hayden of the

Manager Mack received word yesterday
that not only is Crishams child no better,
but that the first baseman himself is now

the grip.

has signed Catcher McManus, who played
with the Kansas City team last year, and
great things are expected Of him.. Pitcher
Magee and Inf1elder Flynn have decided
not to play with Syracuse.

prod. son.
Pitcher Gus weighing will probably get
an engagement with Walter Wilmot' s
Louisville club in the Western Association.
Jouet Meekin has an application in for first
base on the same team.

members of the players union that the Ma
tional League will not enforce the 16 rule
when the time comes, as number of good
base ball players will have to be let go
and will then be gobbled up by the Ameri-
can League, If the latter wants them.
The American League Is again arousing
the Ire OF the National organization by go
Ing into National towns for the purpose of
playing exhibition games. Perhaps the
magnates may even go SO far as to prohibit
the spectators OF the American games from
witnessing the Nationals play ball.

at the Presidents disposal. which will be
closed when not occupied by him or his
invited guests.-Detroit Tribune.
Umpire CARNEY, speaking about the new
rules OF the National League, says: mo
umpire is up-to-date so far as these new
rules are concerned. I wish the rules COM
mittee would answer these questions:
What can an umpire do if catches re-
fuses to play up behind the bat?
will the rule regarding foul hits do
away with the bunt hit?
"Will bunt after the second strike or
second ball be declared striker"
The management of the Yale base ball
| team has received assurances from the
| Boston National League team that any ex-
penses which the Yale team incurred in
going to Norfolk, Va, to play the game on
| the regular Yale schedule with the Bostons
will be forwarded to the Yale men, This
disposes of any claim which Yale has on
the Bostons. Yale regarded the canceling
| of the game as financial loss, but this will
| be removed when the Boston management
| makes good its promise to settle the
| claims.
