STARS INCREASING.
Why Players Have Lost Their Indi.
viduality.

I notice that Ted Sullivan makes the
assertion that base ball players of today
have no Northumberland there are no
Mike Kellys. Ewings. McPhees. Ansons or
others of the old school among the men Of
the present day." remarks Miller Higgins,
the Cincinnatis' second baseman. I'm a
way Sullivan Is right. In the old days the
men he mentions were kings in base ball
for the reason that their work stood out
boldly compared to that of the general
run of players. They were continually in
venting something new in base ball for the
paratively crude state. and SO they attract
ed attention and had individuality. The
players of today lack individuality for the
reason that there are so many starSPin the
business that the work of no ole man
stands out so far above the others as to be
playing the scientific points of the game,
so many players know all the intricate de-
tails of trick playing that this does not
come In for the comment that it formerly
aroused for the reason that the public ex-
poets it, and is surprised only when bril-
was one star player fifteen years ago there
are fifteen today, so that it is natural that
the individuality of the stars should be
buried There is as much difference in the
makeup of teams today and those of f1f-
teen years ago there is between an all
star dramatic cast and a company with a
lone star travehng at the head of 1t. Good
ball players are getting more plentiful every
year. and before another decade rolls
around there will easily be enough first
class players in America to supply the two
big leagues And with the increasing sup
ply of players there will be even less indi-
viduality among the members of the pro-
fession than there Is at present"

Kismets Easily Defeated the Bureau
Lads,

The Kismets defeated the strong Bureau
team yesterday afternoon at I'd and r
streets northwest. in fve-fnning game.
8 to 1. with the same case as has marked
the other contests of THAT crack Royal Ar
canum club. Collie Waller was hit for six
hits in the five innings Of playa total Of
twenty-on bases. Not for a long time has
such smuggling been seen on the r street
grounds. the third inning being remarkable
In that every safety that inning was for
extra bases. Kismets led off the first in
ming. Hughes, after two strikes had been
called on him, waited and was rewarded
with his base on balls; Williams went out
on short fly, attempt to bunt, to
Handiboe: Powers hit to the shortstOp,
but both men were safe on the fielder 8
choice Venable then hit the ball over the
sheds in deep center field. clearing the
bases. The next two men struck out.
Nothing was doing for the Bureaus in their
half, although Handiboe got as far as sec
ond on Hughes wild throw. Neither side
scored until the third, when Williams hit
to deep center for two bases. Powers
bringing him in with four-baser into the
same spot. the bail taking lucky bound
over the sheds. Venable then made his
second home run of the game by driving
the ball into right, the ball rolling almost
to 1st street. Joe Much then hit for three
sacks into left, coming home on the erratfc
throw of Wheatley. Hardesty went out on
fly to Waple. but Babson hit the ball into
left center for four bases. The next two
men struck out in their endeavors to also
score extra bases. The Bureaus got their
solitary run in the fourth on Williams
error and Riston's two-base hit to right.
When the game was hopelessly lost for
the Bureaus they tried to throw the ball
away to proIong the game, but Umpire
Newman kept them in play until five in
nings had passed. when darkness inter-
vened. buckingham in stepping to the bat
in the third inning was hit on the knee by
a bat and had to retire in favor of Walker.
Hughes fielding and the heavy hitting of
the kismets were the features. Bucking
ham made an excellent running catch off
Taylor's bat in the first. coming in from
deep center and catching the ball about
six inches from the ground. Maple also
made fine catch of Hardestys Texas
Lacquer in the third inning. Burlingame
was given try-out by the Kismets and
made an excellent showing. two of the
three hits made off him being scratchy.

Base Ball Notes

| The Senators and Tigers are in the throes
of double header this afternoon.
The Detroits got their first genuine hit in
the seventh inning when OLeary hit to
right. The four previous bingles were Of
the fiuke order.
O'Neil made bad break in the third
inning when Donovan caught him of first
by quick throw. He was the first man
up and one or more runs might have been
scored had he kept wide awake.
Jack Townsend Is pitching the best ball
of his career at present and 1t Is not his
fault the team doesn't win when he Is on
the rubber. Jack now works with con-
fdence. having good control and his fast
outcurves Is almost unhitable:
