about the worst beaten team that ever
wore an eastern league uniform.
Hemming and Jope can be fairly termed
the stifr arm battery. Jope appears 10
throw altogether with his forearm.
Capt Griffin OF the Newarks should bril-
die his tongue. Yesterday his pronfanity
was plainly heard in the grand stand.
Sutor Sullivan hung TO third base yes
terday as though married to II when
Griffin ran clear 10 the fence and caught
a foul fly while running with the ball.

George Sullivan Is being held on the
bench for some reason. he having pitched
but one game In two weeks.
Worcester is forging to the front very
rapidly, and at the rate the team has
been progressing the past dozen games or
50 will soon be battling for first place.
The ability of Leonard's men to win
away from home is a big factor.
Judging from the way Hickman is
playing first base for Cleveland there is
little prospect Of Louis Lepine leaving

II the published account of the assault
on Jim Bannon by Kelly of Montreal Is
true the pugnacious Montreal player
