Frank Leonard has secured a strong
team for his Independent club at Lynn.
Washington Post: The Washington
baseball team at least deserves credit
for not disappointing popular expecta-
ton.
Philadelphia Press: 1t begins to look
as if Pittsburg might drop a little of its
baseball enthusiasm this year, though
the season is young.
Since the opening of the champion
ship season the Boston Americans have
played to over 100000 people, not in
Guiding free admissions.
Philadelphia Press: Philadelphia can
afford to be known as the best baseball
town in the country as long as it can
also boast of the worst baseball club.

ball for the Boston Nationals, got Il hit
Yesterday Honest and true" he did!
| No joking. It's Il fact.
Boston Herald: The most remarkable

| express themselves as in favor of it as
a clean. healthy game that keeps its
patrons from more demoralizing sun

| "Robby" Lowe has been doing some
good stunts for Detroit at second. In

| Chicago Tribune: Two of Comiskey's
Youngsters have demonstrated that
they can pitch for two innings-Frank
Smith and Tom Dougherty. They nave
earned 2 trial in full game.
! Dougherty went in with practically no
warming IN and retired six men in
order in two innings. They were Brad

and Bemis, each of whom can hit some.
The Boston club has given up all
claim to Joe Beans services. FINDING
that Bean was dead set against playing
in BOSTON. President Soden said

The Senators are travelling on a
thorny path says the Washington Post
Each endeavor they make toward the
goal of victory is fraught with defeat
and defeat that is aggravating, for IN
only one of this seasons battles has the
team had no chance to win. That was
the one in which Waddell pitched
Saturday week. Hitting wins games
more often than clean fielding, as the
patrons of the Senators have had fully
demonstrated in the last ten days
Sharp and errorless playing may hold
the opposing club to a small score, but
the lack of a timely hit here and there
has kent the Senators from winning a
game. No team in the league is field
ing any better than the Washington,
Int none is doing as little batting
There's the rub. Probably it would be
we'll to gay the players are doing as
we'll As could be expected under the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the circumstances
have been great obstacles in their way.
