his old team mates.-Indianapolis News.
The two Rochester players whose work
was most brilliant are Carey at first, and
Do Croft in center field. The latter was
easily the favorite. Three of his catches
were sensational. Two were made by leap
ing in the air and bringing down hits which
otherwise would have meant two or three
bases for the champions.
While Carey did nobly on his base 1t was
at the bat that he proved wonder. Five
times did he face the best pitcher of the
champions and he cracked out safely at
each attempt, taking a perfect batting
average of LOCO for the game. Carey has
in the past established grand record as a
batsman, but he excelled himself yester-
day.-Rochester Express.
1--WE have seven pitchers under contract"
said Mr.. Hermann this evening, land we
don't feel that we can afford to release any
of them outright. and for that reason we
want a construction placed on the farming
rule that will allow US to loan our surplus
men to a minor league club for the rest of
the season, provided no National League
club wants them" MIR. Hart Of the Chicago
Nationals and Mr.. Comiskey of the Chicago
Americans also are in favor of such rule,
and it Is expected that the other magnates
will sanction its establishment. Letters of
inquiry will be sent out at once.-Cincinnati
