Base Ball Notes.

| Saturdays game was a great one and the
crowd ditto.
Orth demonstrated that two hammers do
not make a shovel.
The Baltimore followers were a discon-
| solate set after the game.
| After Kelley, Setback and Williams had
| been to the bat the Orioles looked woefully
| weak.
Keep the ball inside the fence is all that
| the friends of Wyatt Lee ask of the op-
| posing batsmen, and he will get it.
Once more the Senators lead the second
| division. but their upward travels from this
| time on will naturally be slow, the st.
| Louis is about the only team that can be
expected to come back.
The work of Jimmy Williams at second
| for Baltimore stands out like a chalk mark
on a blackboard. He batted like a fiend
during the three games in this city, and In
fielding line nothing got away from him.
Baltimore winds up the series today
Howell and Patten probably doing the
pitching. Patten complained of sore size
Saturday evening, but he may be all right
by this afternoon.
Of four games. as only three games were
played on the teams first trip. The Tigers
have been catching it hot the western
end of The circuit, and it is to be hoped
that the Senators will not be a bit back
| ward in carrying along the good work. AS
the fan" would say: I'VE need the
money"
Tim Donahue left quite little fortune-to
his mother and sister. The Irish catcher
never forgot the folks at home.
Pitcher Tannehill had his finger broken

Parent says that Waddel sends up balls
that look so easy 10 hit that the batter
really feels ashamed Of himself when he
fails TO connect
The American League game scheduled for
yesterday at Detroit between Cleveland and
Detroit was played last Thursday that day

The Boston American League team play
ed an exhibition game with the Hoboken

boken, yesterday, and were beaten by a
score of to 4. This was the second meet
ing between these teams this season. Boston
losing both games.
Cross has made more hits than any
player of the American League. And Lave
has probably been playing major league
either big organ ization. Another proof
that with athlete good habits are not
matters of morals, but Of plain dollars and
cents.
1.-The Cleveland team as it stands today is
much better than the one that represented
the forest city in the early '90s," says
Pitcher Griffith There never was such
heavy hitter on first base as Hickman,
while Lajoie beats ChiIds at second. Nc
Kean had Gochnaur on ting but very
little in fielding. IL any Bradley is hitting
as hard. If not harder, than Wallace. while
the outfields cannot be compared. This
outfield hits far harder than the one of the
early '90s. when Burkett was the only hit
Ter; but now there are Flick, Mccarthy.
Pickering and Bay, all good hitters. rhe
only thing that the former team had on
the present one were seasoned pitchers and
team work. and those viii come next year"
One thing the former team had that CRIT
