 Apropos of baseball. the writers or the national sport have already begun to pick an All-American baseball team for 1908. The best selected te date appears to be as follows: Pitcher McGinnity, New York Nationals catcher, Kling. Chicago Nationals first base, Davis. Philadelphia Ameri cans; second base, Lajoie, Cleveland Americans: shortstop, Wagner, Pitts burg Nationals; third base and captain Collins, Boston mericans; right field Donovan, St Louis Nationals; left field Mertes. New York Nationals; center deld F. Jones, Chicago Americans. One of the most remarkable per formances on the baseball diamond this year was that of Pitcher Fraser o, the Philadelphia team, when he shu out the Chicago aggregation without { hit in nine innings. He had his op ponents utterly at his mercy and al though the Chicago batters tried ever. sort of style to beat his delivery the. were unable bo get even the slightes resemblance of a hit The neares' approach to this performance was tha made by Ewing, of the Cincinnati club, when he held the New York Ma tional league team down to one scratcl hit on August IS.
 'sShamrock'' in the Springfield New Is growing poetfcai.s The followins is one of his effusions:
 The baseball season now is OCT,
 The autumn breezes blow, And grasses, long and dank, galore Upon the diamond grow.
 Tlhe fan, while smiling through hi
 tears,
 Next year. is heard to say, And gives some melancholy cheers For Rogers gone away.
 No more we'll see that awful band That played the season through; The very worst in all the land
 Of Yankee I1oodle-do.
 If'g gone. to nevermore return
 So let's be bright and gay, And no more with resentment burn Since Rogers gone away. Perhaps we now may see team
 That really kuoNs the game,
