The Clevelands will find the Bostons aw-
fully hard to catch. The Beaneaters are
going along at splendid clip, and every
thing is breaking nicely for them.
The Senators trip to the western cities
losing eight. Boston did the best, win
ming eight and losing five. while the New
Yorks were trailers with five victories and
ten defeats The Athletics won six and
lost eight.
Yesterdays work is a fair sample of
what Jimmy Ryan has been dong all sea-
son when going right Ryan's tendency
to play them SAFE at times has been
the only thing to mar his good work.
Little Robinson will be good man to
hold on to for utility purposes next sea-
son. He Is certainly wonder for about
half dozen games, and then goes to
pieces.
AS was to be expected, "Rube" waddell
has not been released by Connie Mack,
only suspended. When the Athletics man
ager lets go of anything it Is rarely of
any value. Waddell has been a great
money maker for Mack this season.
Manager McAleer says he likes Joe Mar
tins style in the outfield and at the bat.
and that he will surely be on next seasons
team. Joes. base running also pleased the
Browns manager.
Jimmy Collins and his great band of
remnant chasers opens a series of four
games with the Senators on Saturday.

cans is playing with an injured right hand.
Griffith has signed new catcher. McCau-
ley Of Worcester, who is to report today.
Moran looks like one of. the best young
sters that broke in this year. He fields
well. can hit and can run. He figured
strongly in yesterdays games.-Detroit
''sr' sanborn OF Chicago says: "The diff
ference between the Pittsburg champions
with and without Ned Clarke Is something
startling" Well? How about Boston
without Collins. New York without Nc
Graw. Athletics without Lave Cross. and
SO on?

the past week with blood poisoning and 1t

OF the Texas League. has sold the release
of Third Baseman Harry Clark to Charles
Comiskey. owner Of the American League
club of Chicago. for 81 200.
ONeill of Duffy's team Is to replace
Americans next season. Like O'Brien,
O'Neill possesses Unfolding ability and is
a good batsman. Mr.. killilea has seen him

When Ned Hanlon starts west with the
Brooklyns Terry McGovern expects to be
with them. The little fighter will take
flyer at professional ball. He is putting
in his mornings at Washington Park,
Brooklyn. and Is fitting himself for his
debut as a Brooklynite. In his own team
McGovern plays second base. but his Ma

fielder, and he only expects to play three
or four innings in each game. Jim Corbett
once starred In minor company as a first
baseman, and McGovern viii prove good
drawing card.
