Change Radish Into Potato.

Experts of the Pasteur insti-
tute, at Paris, have Just accomplished
the seeming miracle of transmitting a
radish into a potato. Their report,
which has just been made to the
Academy of Sciences, says this was
done by cultivating the humble rad
ish in special solution of glucose, a
quasi radish at first lourishing, and
then later when submitted to chem
ical tests was found to be distin-
guishable in no way from potato.
Just what use can be made Of this
roundabout method of potato culture
Is not set forth.

BASEBALL NOTES.

The Winthrop baseball team Of this
city defeated the Orients for the sec
ond time yesterday by the score OF 13
to 5.
The Boston Nationals, after seeing
that they were beaten at Nashville
Saturday, played such miserable ball
that they were mobbed y the crowd
and dates for next season cancelled.
Billy Keeler's batting eye was helped
by his few weeks at Harvard. He has
led the hitting in the games the High
landers have played this year He is

Barney Dreyfuss expects great things
of young Standard, the Holy Cross
player. Arrangements have been made
for Standard to join the Pirates at the
close of the college season. AS well
as being a heavy sticker, Standard is
said to be a good man in any position
on the field The chances are that
Dreyfuss will give Standard chance
to show his worth in the outheld.
There is every reason to believe that
Mike Mccormick, the Brooklyns' new
third baseman. will become a big ia
vorite with the fans. He is the kind
of player that is working all the time.
Hanlon SAYS from his head to his feet
he is all ginger, and has more get-there
ability than any young player he has
ever had. Mccormick, whom he
signed, insisted that he be permitted
TO play third base in the opening game.
Evidently the gumption shown by the
youngster caught the veteran man
ayers fancy, and when. the team went
south he put Mccormick on third base
for the first team. The style of ball
Mike played caused the pennant bee to
get busy in Hanlon's cap. Not only
has he made good in the way Of field
Ing, but his work with the stick has
been decidedly pleasing. -Brooklyn

the bag, believing the ball safe, and

Lachance ahead of Breitenstein, who

The play astounded the New Or

for what had looked so promising was
converted into gloom in the twinkling
of an eye. Doubtless those who had
seen the game are still talking about
that triple play.
Lachance played great ball on first,
and stop made by him in the sixth
inning, with two men on bases, was
electrical in the extreme, fairly caus-
ing the spectators to hold their
breath. Two men were on bases at
the time. Montgomery got the ball
where he wanted it and it sailed
toward right, but George was after
it, stuck out his paw and it stayed
there. 1t was easy to beat the run
