 Jack Tighe has yet to make his first error. Jack is g wonder at reaching out that left paw of his and pulling in wild throws
 Pitcher Bill Reedy of the Brooklyns says Terry McGoyern is a better base ball player to-day than many of those in the big leagues. With Red Miller, Red Bowler, Red Connor, Red Tansey and Red Owens on one team. the Ponies should be able to put up red-hOt game.
 Cleveland made it three straight from Detroit. Just watch Cleveland climb now that Lajoie, Bradley, Flick and few others have donned their swat ting clothes.
 Frye Beck, whom Manager StrobeI traded Red Owens for, is playing in the south and has been making such poor showing that Toledo does not even want him.
 The City Amateur league held a
 meeting last night but transacted no
 business and adjourned until Thurs day night, when schedule for Sum- day will be made out Billy Lush is doing some of the kind of hitting he used to show as a minor leaguer. Lush has been moved up in the Cleveland batting order because of his persistent attacks on the leather. Tn Philadelphia 1t is claimed that Connie Mack has signed Pitcher Spring of Holy Cross and Pete Noonan, the catcher and captain of the club. At lily Cross the players make denials. The New Haven Register has been convicted of making the declaration that James O'Rourke. IT, is capable of teaching his father points on the game. The Register man didn't intend it as & jest, either.
 Tansey, Flanagan and Hemming are the regulars who have been doing the most toward helping in runs for Spring field. Joe G0nnor is one of those plan ming to enter the circle of strong swatters soon.
 C. J. Danaher. the New Haven own CT says that his club will do more when located at home The fact that the team hasn't grounds of its own doesn't seem to impair the playing strength of the club.
 Foxy Grandpa O'Rourke wanted Hanifin and so did Dan O'Neil. Dan does not believe in sitting at home and writing letters, however, and trip to Philadelphia and talk with Kit tredge did the business.
 Jack Hess Of Springfield is one of the leaders in fielding and batting, but the pitcher has been in but two games. Hess. however, has hopes of being one of the swatting kings, even if present figures are reduced some. It is claimed that Washington has decided to allow Malachi Jedediah Kit l tredge to rejoin his Worcester club.
 Kit has been acting as manager of the record breaking losers and recently had
 a sauabbIe with the club owners. Boston is proving the banner base 1 ball town. At the six American league l games last week 43, ,127 people paid ad- missions. The average attendance this season has been 9,111, while the Ma l tional league team has drawn an aver l age attendance of SAP. Lajoie hasn't been doing thing with 1 the stick this season but ripping the balls pitched to him. Ip only three ] games has he failed to get hit and he
 is hating close fo the BOO mark In
