Base Ball Notes,


Patten will pitch for the Senators and
Sewer for the Tigers.
Yesterdays victory made the "wonderfur'
record of three straight for Wee Willie
Carrick.
Sam DUNCAN was in every run-scoring
inning with both feet. While he made only
one hit, he scored three out Of the four
runs
Coughlin mustn't be blamed for working
off that old trick with the concealed ball
on Cronin, as he comes from Scranton and
they are shrewd lot up in the old Penn
Sylvania town.
Manager Manning and Conny Mack were
both negotiating for the services of Out
fielder Brown of the Torontos, but Man
ager Barrows Of the latter team persuaded
the youngster to go with the Phllies of the
National League. He is slated for Dele
hanty's place in lett field.
The work of Orth and Townsend of late
has demonstrated that they are both pitch
ers Of unusual merit, and If Manager Man
ming secures them for next year he Will
have a great pair 20 help out Carrick and
Lee.
President Fred. Postal of the Washington
club left for home last night, and before
going assured all the newspaper men that
he was perfectly satisfied with this sea-
sons financial showing, but sorry the Sen
ators were not higher up in the champion
ship race. Mr.. Postal, as usual, added a
host of friends to his list during his short
stay.
Charley Tabler, local boy from the
southeast section of the city, has returned
home from a seasons work in the Three
T. League, and had on one of the Senator's 8
uniforms yesterday. Tabler shows marks
of being a player, and year more in the
miners will about fit him for first-class
company.
Socks Seybold of the Athletics has played
forty-seven games for the Athletics this
season without an error. record for any
ball player to be proud of.
vrin nin0
burgs clinched the National League per-
nant. The Pirates cannot be overtaken
now.
Bill Schriver of ST. Louis has not stolen a
base this season. This is not at all sur
prising when the players sprinting abil-
tiles are taken into consideration. as 1t
generally takes a three-base hit to bring
him home from second base.
A series between Pittsburg and Chlcago
(American League) would draw big crowds.
The two new champions have many follow
ers but then such thing is out OF the
question.
Barney Dreyfuss has at last won cham
pionship, and no one begrudges him the
honor, as there is not squarer man in
base ball than the aforesaid Barney.
Mathewson's arm usually comes around
all right by the time New York is due to
run up against an easy proposition like
Cincinnati, and then he consents to
pitch. He went in Saturday and held
Cincinnati down to three hits.
The Phillies are still tied with Brooklyn
for second place. Now that they are
through with Pittsburg, Shettsline's band
should have easy sailing to the end of the
season, playing Cincinnati, Chicago and st.
Louis.
Sam Crawford of the Reds has made
more home runs this season than any
PLAYER In the National League. He also
leads in doubles and triples Here is his
record: Fifteen four-baggers, twenty
three two-baggers and five three-baggers.
Jimmy Slagle is adrift. He has been
given his ten days notice of release by
the Boston club. Slagle is a much better
man than is usually turned loose at this
stage of the season. Siagie looks better
now than anybody Manager Selee is likely
to pick up, though his new man, Rickert
from Worcester may be better than peo-
pie think. Selee usually knows what he is
about-Chicago Chronicle.
1t is amusing to read of the treatment
received by players of the Pink Hawley
played one side against the other and
went where he saw the most money. The
American League was under no obligation
When 1t comes to paying a man who has
gone wrong the National and American
are alike.
Frank Roth, catcher for the Evansville
'.Three-eyed" League team. is probably the
champion home-run hitter of the world.
During the season just closed he made
thirty-six home runs. For his good work
the directors of the team presented him
with gold watch and chain.
Joyce, the south-paw pitcher, secured
from the Montreal team by St Louis. when
he became a professional ball player drop

Christian name. His full name is Joyce
ONeill. He is a collegian
