Bass BAN Notes,

Goodbye. Chicagol xon certainly did m
well.
Now for the Athletics. and all eyes are on
the Nationals
Townsend and Hardy may work against
Bender and Coakley In 1oday'S double
header.
Too bad Hughes had to make that wild
pitch, but. then. Stanley should have kept
Mac" Heyden has been overworixed on
account Of Kittredge's arm going back on
him, and his playing yesterday showed q
lack of his usual dash.
Jack Townsend has done we'll against the
Athletics this season. and with good support
should be troublesome today. OF course,
the Quakers are liable to hit any pitcher at
their lives.
The Chicagos left for st. Louis last even
Ing. where they will play five games with
the Browns. Manager Jones begged Capt.
Stahl to trim the Athletics and, he said, he
would take care of the Browns.
Tomorrow will be the last ladies day OF
the season. and a large number OF the gentle
sex will doubtless be on hand to see the
coming champions OF the American League.
The Philadelphia Cuban Giants are the
best colored base ball players in the coun-
try, and there are many of their race in
Washington who believe that they can trim
the Senators. For this reason the Nationals
have consented to give them a game next
Monday, and the score OF the worlds series
will also be displayed.
Carl M. Green will quit his job as busi-
ness manager of the Boston Americans this
season and go into business in New York.
Arrangements have been made for a post
season series of seven games between the
st. Louis American and National League
base ball teams. The first game will be
played Monday. October 8. and the last on
Sunday, October TO-
The Rochester Herald says it is generally
believed that base ball in Providence this
season netted $4,000: Baltimore. Jersey
City, Newark and Buffalo all made money
Rochester broke about even, and Toronto
and Montreal lost money.
Says Joe Corbett: There Is nothing for
any one in base ball. The large salaries at
tributed to ball players can be possible only
when those controlling organized base ball
war among themselves, and that happy
event occurs twice in every hundred years
It is far better and wiser thing to retire
from business that offers so little and to
go In for something wherein results can be
obtained, provided, of course, the same
amount of energy is displayed"
A reader of the st. Louis Star-Chronicle,
signing himself "a Fan Who Knows"
writes praising the virtues of Moxie Manuel
the southpaw who helped New Orleans to
the Southern Association championship:
Manuel Is abou six feet one inch tall and
has speed to burn.' writes the correspond
ent. He halls from near Pennington and
Barney Petty knows him well. McAleer
would do well in getting him." Manuel GER
taiHy promises well, Dut Jake Stahl has
beaten McAleer to him. He has been a
National for close on to week. and was
one of the boxmen the Browns laid low in
their swatfest last Friday
AL Orth. the Yankee boxman, has this to
say In the Illustrated Sporting News con-
corning LaJoie. the present batting mon
arch. and William Hamilton. one Of the star
binglers of decade ago: "Lajoie is a won
derful batsman, but he would be decidedly
better one II he would not be so over
anxious to hit the ball Pitchers knou tbJs
and therefore strive to give him balls off the
rubber to entice him. and the result Is that
he chases them. He Is too anxious to hit
the ball-too impatient. Still he has such
wonderful batting ability that he generally
stands at the top in batting. or very near ii.
one OF the most difficult men to fool was
hamilton. now manager Of the Harrisburg
team He could gauge the course of a bali
10 hair. and as q result no one went more
orten TO base on gifts by the pitcher than
ne when he was with the major lea apuers
he stu ranks with the best hitters Of the
country. his shortcomings as an outfielder
mad much to do with his retirement from
Last company, although many a club could
ming qualities" AA
