The American League Is providing one of
the prettiest races in the history of the
game. Three teams are tied for the lead
and two are within easy striking distance.
Philadelphia gave Pttsburg hard light
yesterday. The Pirates won out in the ninth
inning on Conroys triple and Hans Wag-
ners single.
Brooklyn has dropped into last place ow-
ing to the bad conduct on the field Of Sheck-
ard and Dahlen, who have been frequently
benched by the umpires, thus weakening
the not over-strong ex-championS.
First Baseman Schrecongost Of the Cleve-
land American League team has been re-

shortstop Dahlen received notice in St
Louis yesterday morning from John T.
Brush. chairman Of the National Lea que

Manager McGraw received letter yes
terday from Bernhard. the enjoined Phila-
delphia pitcher, saying that under no cir
cumstanceS would he play outside of Phila-
QelDhla In defiance of the order of the
Pennsylvania courts. Thus the matter is
settled, and McGraw will have to look else
where to secure reliable pitcher.
John NJ Ward, in behalf of the Brooklyn

back to Cleveland all in one day. Wright

We have the fastest infield I ever saw"
said Jack Warner of the Boston Americans
the other day. La Chance Is playing better
at first than he ever did. we all know what
Collins can do at third, and Ferris and
Parent are chain lightning on double plays.
1hey double up the fast left hand hitters
right along: They doubled up McGraw this
season, and you have to work pretty fast
to do that"
George Powers, eighteen years old. was
n hn1 hu11 !,
prospect Park parade grounds, New York
on Saturday and taken to the Methodist
Episcopal Hospital. He sank to the ground
unconscious when struck. An ambulance
was called and 1t was found by the surgeon
that his jaw was fractured.
Beyond doubt the homeliest uniform ever
worn by ball club is that of the Chicago
American League outfit for the home
games. which is of course, the same this
season as year ago. From tip to shoe
top 1t Is white. The effect of a complete
garb of this kind is to make a stocky man
look roly-poly. Chicago sticks to the bath
robe in preference to coat or sweater, this
years being the gray blanket robe, with
black belt black elbow bands and black
border to the skirt
John McGraw has benefited by his expri-
ence of last season, when he was suspended
by Ban johnson for getting tangled up with
the umpfres. McGraw was mixed up again
this season and his suspension followed, but
this time McGraw said nothing and thereby
showed his wisdom He just held his tongue
and took his punishment phiosophically
BY so doing he has established priceless
precedent and really deserves great credit
for the manner in which he has conducted
himself. .ie.-.i
A play most peculiar, considering the rea-
tive positions Of the men who handle the
ball. was seen in the West Point-Annapolis
game last Saturday. Raudenbush Of An
napolis sent long drive straight to right
field Macarthur, the West Point right
fielder ran back after the ball and instead Of
rod In tn f1,1- Ny,1 ha0n a,.-k
baseman, center fielder or somebody who
would be on that side Of the diamond for
the relay. the first throw was taken by Zell,
the left fielder. who had chased over from
his position in a hurry. Zell was in deep
right when he took the throw, Macarthur
having chased the ball long distance, but
by fling that would have done credit to
Wagner he landed the, bail squarely in the
at the plate. -
"Rube' waddells work, would have been
a treat had 1t not been for the sympathy
which was bound to be felt for the helpless
way In which the Frisco batters stood at
the plate and waited for the inevitable.
"Rube" cut out his comedian pranks for
the afternoon and attended strictly to bust
ness His one avowed mission for the day
was to show up the men who boasted that
| they would make him wish he had never
seen the light of day. The big fellow did
not even gloat when he had the chance, I~t
he certainly made Harris bunch look like
six car fares. Such a sour-visaged lot of
fans have seldom walked out of ball
park as left 1t that afternoon. and the same
men who were shouting week ago that
''Rube" would be as easy to hit as any of
| the other pitchers, moped along the street
claiming that the big fellow has no bust
ness in this league and win spoil all inter-
est IL he Is allowed TO remain.-San Fran
cisco letter to Los Angeles Herald.
