Base Base Notes.

Jack Townsend Is strictly all right.
Wolfe also did we'll when 1t Is considered
that he was working against one Of the best
twirlers in the country.
The mantle Of the lamented Delehanty
appears to have fallen on the shoulders of
Huelsman. The new recruit can certainly
hit the ball for keeps
Lew Drill was tabled by Manager Bar
rows to catch the second game. but at the
last minute Buelow was substituted, and
the latters three Dagger won the game for
the Tigers.
southpaw twirlers Patten and Killian. will
continue their battle of last Friday. Both
feel confident of winning.
For man who has not missed a game
this season Mr.. Barry Mccormick IS going
extremely well. If he could hit about 800
there would be no second baseman in the
business >his equal.
President Ban Johnson left for home yes
terday morning. The Detroit people were
hot after Coughlin, but nothing definite
was transacted in that respect.
Manager Barrows of the Detrofts ten
dered his resignation Saturday night and 1t
was accepted. and Second Baseman Robert
Lowe will now be the leader of the Tigers
until the end of the season.
Tomorrow the celebrated Cleveland outfit
will start a series of four games with the
Senators and the fur will fly, the boys
in blue have been going at great pace Of
late. 1t would be just like Larry and his
team mates to get over-confident while
here and drop one or more games to the
Sena tors.
When "knocker' of the Washington
club shouts out a protest about selling
Coughlin. just ask him II he is worth $1,000
paid admissions. Just that number of
spectators represents what can be had for
the clever third baseman in the way Of cold
cash.
Center Fielder O'Nein appears to have
struck his right gait during the last three
10 to an!I 1.-Two CVlnn opI Mt
the bat is hitting the ball for keeps.
Thursday afternoon team of picked
players from the Sunday School League
will have a try at the Senator'S. and an in
teresting contest should result. So many
people have been shouting Sunday leaguers
at the Senators this season that the pro-
fessionals are anxious to see what the
amateurs are like. Waller will probably
pitch for the Church League team while
Townsend will serve them up for the WASH
irgtons. a
Charley Moran is playing a nice game for
the Browns. and We are certainly satisfied
with Huelsman down this way. SO that the
trade. as intimated at the time, was good
for both teams.
The latest reports say that both the New
York and Chicago National teams are to
tour the world at the end Of the season. It
will be a clear case OF running away from
the Americans and substantiates the claim
made right along that the National League
is fully 80 per cent weaker than the Amer
lean.
The Chicago Americans are strong and
of evenly distributed strength, but a little
more pepper would add attractiveness to
their play.
A deal has been closed whereby Hermann
Of the Cincinnati club purchased Pitcher
Check OF the st. Paul club. Check is to
report at Cincinnati on September 20.
Eight clubs Of the major leagues were after
Check. who has won Il of n games this
season.
Second Baseman Donahue Of the st.
Louis National League team has been re-
leased to the Philadelphia Nationals. Dom
ahue was secured by the st. Louis club
from Butte Of the Montana League. A full |
roster caused Manager Nichols to turn over |
this player.
Base ball in preference to foot ball has |
fielder Of Brooklyn He had been asked by |
Brooklyn to refrain from playing foot bali, |
and he has decided not to return to Johns |
Hopkins University, where he played foot |
now making arrangements to enter Phiia- |
delphia college where they have no ath- |
letics. Gessier says he must be away from
the game to keep out Of 1t.
The New York Americans have played not |
q bit stronger ball since Dougherty Joined |
them than before. He has been as much |
OF value because he gave the team another |
outflelder when Fultz and Keller were laid |
hit harder than Anderson, but not much SO /
of late, and Anderson has done the more
timely hitting and better all around work. |
An outfeid composed Of Anderson. Fultx
and Keller Ia as strong as one with Dough- |
erty in 1t. One of Dougherty's strong points
is his speed on the bases. but Anderson ID
not slow. All Of which goes to show that
those who labored under the delusioE that
was sent here for the express
purpose Of helping New York win the
have another guess.
The Philadelphia Athletics Is the first
team to seek the services Of Outfislder
Jack Fox Of the Uticas. That club has
secured an option on his services. A tel
eSram was received BY tho Utica manage /
ment Saturday offering q high price for
the release Of Fox. Manager Mack OF the
Athletics has had q representative touring
the cities In the New York State League Il
for tho past week. and tho work OF TOx L
has been we'll notod. II q probable thaf L
