Base Bali Notes.
| Detroit starts a series of three games
! with the Senators today.
| Case Patten will probably pitch for the
| locals, while ex-senator William Donovan
! will twirl for the Tigers.
| Short Stop Moran should not be criticised
harshIy for his play during the recent Sc
| ries. The little fellow has a bad case of
| charley horse and moves around In the
| greatest pain. He will be given a rest just
soon as Bill Clarke reports and Cassidy
| is showed into short.
Al. Orth was getting ready to take Jacob
| sens place when matters looked very bad
! in the third, but after Jacobsen had struck
| out Davis he was allowed to finish the
| game. The Decatur boy is all right.
kittredge has become envious of Cough
Inns base running. and yesterday had new
| spikes put on his shoes. Kit" says he is
! going to show Scranton Bir' up in the
running line.
| When the Senators return from their first
western trip Jacobsen will join the colony
! of Washington players over in the north
| east. rooming with Case Patten.
First Baseman Donahue made a great
stop of Stahrs hit in the ninth. The ball
| went over the initial bag at the speed of
| the wind, but "Jiggs" threw himself in its
| way and while lying down threw the
muddy sphere to Walsh and retired the
batter.
The new scale Of prices adopted last
Tuesday, 80 cents for the right field 50-cent
stand, has been revoked by orders from
PRESIDENT johnson. Hereafter the scale will
| De the same as originally. with the excep-
ton that so cents will admit to the grand
! stand and IS cents for the first three rows.
Manager Donovan should get into the
| game as soon as possible on account of
/ Moran's lameness. He is certainly good
| enough to play right, although he may be
| weak with the stick. Drill can be showed
into center and Cassidy in at short. This
| makeup looks stronger than the present
| team. Donovan isn't quite on edge but he
! Is certainly better than a lame man, and
then; again. Moran may be injured perma-
| nently If kept at work.
| Ex-senator Clyde Robinson Is with the
| Detroits, and the little fellow has attracted
| attention all over the circuit by his sensa-
1lonal heiding and batting. Robinson left
| lots OF friends behind him when he was
| transferred to the western city
! The Detroits were prevented by rain from
| trimming the Highlanders again yesterday
ana ana reached Re-. i washington this morning in
At going out for fly ball Barrett of De-
| troit is as proficient as they come
Cleveland duplicated New York's feat of
| beating the Boston worlds champions two
| games in succession.
| with Providence.
The Philadelphia Nationals are losing a
|
| beaten by one run six times and by two
| runs four times
The signed contract of Mike Lynch of
| Brown University has been received by
Pittsburg. Lynch will Join the Pirates on
| June IS. 81
Van Buren,, the outfeider whom Phia-
deiphia secured from Brooklyn, has been
released by the forrner9cub.
| "Cy' Young pitched forty-five consecu-
tive innings without run being scored off
him: The Clevelands called the halt.
Selee's Cubs do not seem to have suffered
| by the deal whereby Jack Taylor went to
st. Louis and Browns to Chicago. The lat
ter pitcher has figured in three victories
| and one defeat. IT,
Dr. w. H. Murphy. the former New York
| and Yale player, now the Yale coach, broke
bone in his ankle the other day while
| illustrating sliding to bases. He caught
| his foot on a base scrap. j.
| For the first time since he Joined the Chi
cagoes, Johnny Killing played a position
| other than behind the bat the other day.
| He went to left field, and seemed to enjoy
the comparative quiet of that position
while ONeil was chasing fouls and watch
| ing base runners.
The Boston Americans will be without the
| services of Shortstop Parent for the next
week or ten days. He wrenched his leg in
collision with Leftfielder Lush of the
Clevelands Tuesday and has gone to the
| hospital for at least a weeks soiourn
Young O'Neill will likely cavort at short
! until Parent Is able to return to the game
AS to the foul strike rule hurting batting,
| T. is worth while to note that In both the
| American and National League the num-
| Der of games in which one or both sides
have batted into double figures exceeds
those in which only single figures were
| reached by a wide margin. In the Ameri-
can League there have been thirty-two
| games in which twenty or more hits were
made, and twenty-six such games in the
National League.
Il consider McGinnty one of the greatest
pitchers the game has ever known" says
Manager Clarke. mo matter how you try
to work him he is always there. changing
his pace and style of delivery to suit the
occasion. Just when you think you have
broken into the secret of his success he
springs something else, and 1t is almost i'm
possible to meet the ball squarely Nc
Ginn1ty never let's up, Is working all the
time and is quick to take advantage of a
batter's weakness. '-Pittsburg Dispatch
Pitcher Ames, who made such a remark
able record with the Giants last fall and
promised to be even a greater star than
McGinnity was, is at home nursing a sore
arm.
The trouble with Ames" says Manager
McGraw, rs that he, like most young
pitchers thought he could jump right in
and pitch as in midsummer in the spring
The result Is that his arm Is very sore. and
| don't know when we will be able to use
him. II he gets right he will be a great
man for u.s."
