Pitcher Kane seems awfully good to Manager Fitzpatrick of Holyoke. but the collegian will be obliged to pitch some in order to hang on.
 The Springfield team, by many of the sharpers, is put down as likely to lead Holyoke when the judgment day on baseball for 1904 comes.
 Manager Fitzpatrick says that un- less young Accorsini does the needed work at third base, the hunt will con tinue. Fitz is determined to have q winner In Holyoke.
 Bob Durnbaugh has been complain ed of to the supervisor of umpires, Dan Shannon, and he has been having a vacation because of this. Durn- baugh has McLachlan beaten from any angle.
 Joe ConnOr spoiled that star fielding record of his by making his first error Wednesday. Joe was doing stunts on third at the time and it never takes 8 player long to break into the error column when playing that position. According to Ed Grillo, the Cincin- natis compare favorably with any team and outclass five. He says the per- formances of McGraws team did not convince any one in Cincinnati that it would land the pennant-Boston Her a4d.

 Chesebro's batting is surprise to those who recall how weak he was with the willow while at Pittsburg. He never reached 200 batting aver age then, and now he is hitting at a 400 clip. Happy Jack added two safeties to his string Tuesday, one of them being a terrific three baggef.
 One Fall River man fell asleep i'll the grandstand. He suddenly awoke and commenced to scream like a Comn1anche Indian He soon sub- sided. He said he was dreaming of the days when Patsy Rollins, Doc Kennedy, Lajoie and Hi Ladd were engaged in knocking holes in the fence around left and center field.-New Bedford Mercury.
 He who laughs last laughs best. That is what Terry Rogers might have remarked after he made his two-bagger yesterday. Two strikes were called on him, and every time he cut a swath into the atmosphere the crowd shouted it's delight. Terry also grinned, and the third strike was a two-bagger.

 The New York Americans are cer- tainly slowly and surely displaying the strength to which early spring figures entitle the team. In spite of the dis tance one must cover to reach the park the team is being supported, and with the encoura cement of the public there is little doubt that they will make q hard race for the pennant. What a pleasing thought! Two champion l teams in New York!-New York Her. ald
