which it happened: With one out Stahl

went to third. Clarke would have nailed
the Beaneater easily. Freeman struck

Dispatches say that Lotus had heart
to heart talk with his men after the
game. This is indeed good news, and
after he finishes reading the riot act
to his bad performers, it would not be
amiss for the directors to take Tom
aside and whisper a few hints into his
ear. The Washington club is in a sad
predicament. Badly crippled as it is.
the least the men who are not afflicted
can do is to play the game of their
lives and make some semblance of a fight
and not present their yellow streaks so
glaringly to a long suffering public, as
they have done of late. Dull and list
less is their style of work, and LOTUS
should slap on the fines to the limit,
until some improvement is manifest.
Washington must secure an infelder,
and that in a hurry, too. Then two or
more pitchers must be looked for, if the
team expects TO land anywhere but in
last place.
The directors say they are willing for
Lotus to spend money to get new play
ers. Then let him do it, and that in a
hurry.

happened to know from the bleachers. -

why, don't you know Blood Sager?

knew him. See, there he is now; the
little fellow with the cap back of third

people call him Blair I would rather
have bull after me than have him and

Did you ever hear how Jimmy Col

well. I'll tell you.
at will be remembered that when
Jimmy Collins went from Buffalo to
Boston it was to take a position as
rightfelder. However. there was anoth-
er candidate for the position. one James
Bannon. and owing TO the Boston
papers knocking Collins and boosting
Bannon, Jimmy was banished 10 Louis

game between Louisville and Boston.
Collins was playing the field The third
baseman of the Louisville team Il cannot
recall his name) was injured so badly
along the middle of the game tina. it
necessitated his retiring
The Louisville manager was in a
quandary. Finally Collins volunteered TO
play the third bag.
Duffy, who was playing center field
for Boston. came to the bat with a
smile on his face, and the first ball
pitched he hunted toward Collins, and
was off for first like fash.
Quick as lightning Collins came ia
On the ball, and, gathering il up with one
hand, threw Defy out at first by twenty
feet. Duffy, at that time. was considered
one of the fastest base runners in the
league, and he was very much surprised,
to say the least.
TO sum the matter up. Jimmy played
the bag TO the limit. For the four or
five innings that he occupied the third
base he accepted thirteen chances with
out an error. and most difficult ones
they were, too.

with two out, and three on bases, Coll

the game, the first that Louisville had
won for weeks.

THE N. Y. YACHT CLUB
Intimates Responsibility for Sham

In an editorial published in its issus
lof April %. The London Yachtsman''
indirectly blames the New York Yacht
Club for the loss Of the Shamrock's
mast. It says:
Responsibility. if any can be fixed.
rests with the New York Yacht Club.
which has turned deaf ear to those
who have for years urged the adoption
.of smaller yachts for these races. To
lose a mast has now become an insep-
|arable preliminary TO a Cup race, and
lii is a really remarkable thing that this
lis the first occasion on which it has
led to a fatality, which even in this
case may be regarded as a somewhat
indirect consequence. 1t is perhaps
preaching a counsel of perfection to say
that no man should sail on racing
yacht who is unable TO swim, but IL
such a rule were enforced it would be
no great hardship on the men,
The article recommends wire Ian
yards, instead of rigging screws, for
setting up the rigging. and ends by say
ing:
1T is noted that the mast of the ReII-
ance indicates that her sail spread will
be far greater. and she has yet to get
over her own little accidents, from
which American boats have no special
immunity
