BASEBALL NOTES.

A Milwaukee doctor is suing Bob Unglaub for $20O worth of profession al services. which Unglaub says. con- sisted wholly in rubbing his shoulder one day when he fell running to sec ond base. For this he refused to pay $3, hence the suit for $2O0.
 Comiskey is quoted as saying that the ''strengthened' White Sox are due to win the pennant again this wear. The strengthening material Comiskey so much counts on are Pitchers Walsh and Dougherty and Catcher Claude Berry-untried young sters.
 Dan McGann. like McGraw, has great faith i'll the New York Nationals chances for the league pennant this year. "Pi+tsburg cannot win again. he says, because she will not have the pitchers
 Bresnahan will be played regularly on the Giants because Of his batting. If young Mccormick of last years Jersey City team does not make good, Bresnahan will be in the outfield per come east again.
 Kid Nichols, the wonderful pitcher, and who is to manage the Cardinals this year, says he has been a twirler for seventeen years, and declares he is just us good now as at any time of his career in the box He attributes his long, useful service to the fact that he never used an underhapd ball in his work. which is very harmful to one's throwing powers.

MUNRoE .EAT RUHLIN.

Patrons of ice sport in Brooklyn had an extra night last evening at the Cler- mont avenue ice rink. There were many novel features and the big crowd was thoroughly satisfied. A hockey game between the picked players of New York and of Brooklyn was the first attraction. In the second period the match degenerated into a farce
 Jack Munfoe was the referee, and the players tried their best to upset him.
 Gus Ruhlin of Akron, O., and Jack Munroe of Butte, Mont, came on late for their half-mile pursuit race. It was laughable exhibition. The hea- vyweight lighters took to the ice as though they were afraid it would fly up and hit them. Munroe was the better of a brace of poor skaters. Ruh- lin took the count in the fourth lap. then Munroe sat down good and hard, and finally got to his sfeet and won by over half a lap in ? minutes 49 seconds.

the swimming tank. Without looking, he jumped in head foremost. There was no water in the tank, and he struck the cement bottom with thud. Both his wrists were badly sprained and he sus- tained severe scalp injury. This will probably be Jennings last season on the professional diamond, as the veteran player is now 8 senior in the Cornell col- lege of law, and is said to be eager to begin the practice of his profession.
 The law seems to have captured many of the baseball stars of former days, and many of the pleaders of to-day studied their Blackstone during the off-season while they were still famous as players, says a New York critic. Most prominent ofsthis class may be mentioned Senator German, of Maryland, prominent as candidate for president, who was among the pioneers of the baseball profession. Of more recent school, along the same lines, is John Montgomery Ward. Famous as pitcher for the Providence club, but better known as shortstop, captain and manager of the giants, he is now a prosperous lawyer in Chicago. Likewise, he has earned enviable repu- 3 tation as 8 golf player. Harry Taylor, who was the legal representative of the Players union, studied for his profess sion while he played first base for Louis- vile and Baltimore. Attorney Mike Sul- livan. of Boston, Massachusetts sena- tor; James H. O'Rourke, of Bridgeport, Conn, and Pete Hastings, of Milwaukee, both members of the bar, were ball play CTS of prominence, and O'Rourke, who is past 50. is still in the game as part own CT. Pond, who pitched for Baltimore, became surgeon with the United States army, and Doc Bushong is New York dentist. Joe Quinn is an undertaken in St. Louis. Link Lowe is part owner of the leading hotel at Beaver Falls, Pa., and Jimmie McAleer is a partner in the leading haberdashery at Youngstown, o. Charlie Cimskey, Tom Loftus, Ed Han Ion and Connie Mack are other present. day managers who have risen from the ranks. Mike Griffin is connected with a brewery and Danny Richardson is a druggist. Uncle" Nick Young passed through every stage of baseball from player to president, with the exception of owner.

At the request of the officials of the Insterstate A.. c. of Philadelphia the date of the match between Kid Mo- Coy and Henri J. Placke, the giant Hollander boxer, has been changed from April 1 to April 5. The change suits the two fighters, as it will give them chance to do some extra train ing. The foreigner needs this, as he is hog fat and will have to work hard to get in trim. He is exercising in q local gymnasium. His manager, Clark Ball, has promised to allow the news paper men to see him put up his hands sssoon as Placke gets rid of his sea legs. Ball thinks this will be about the latter part of this week.
