BASE BALL NOTES

responding rejoicing in base ball circles
over the announcement
In Elmer Emerson Manager Fisher OF
Tacoma has unearthed another star pitcher.
Since the second season began he has per-
mitted in the three games he has played,
his opponents to make but one run. ana
that was In Oakland. In one week he
BANKED San Francisco twice. In one game
the Seals secured two hits and In another
six. while Oakland made but two, total or
10, an average of 1-3 hits the game. He
struck out twenty men and walked twelve.
This is remarkable pitching for a man who
comes from the bushes, and 1t goes further
to illustrate Henry Harris argument. that
the pitchers developed in California are
records of Baum, Hit, c. Hall. Keefe.
Thomas. Whalen,i Emerson and others one
can understand his logic.-Sporting Life.
Bill Sweeney. the Cincinnati infelder. has
the season He was shortstop and captain
of the Rock Island team this summer.
Pitcher Malarkey. who drew his first ma
1or league breath as member of the WASH
through with the playing end OF the game
He expects to get a job next year as UNI
pire for minor league.
A New York girl asked Lever his age.
IT'S delicate thing to touch upon pro-
fessional secret" replied Samuel. Ball
players live slowly after they reach the
age Of thirty-at least 1t takes them about
twelve years to cross the bridge from thir-
ty to thirty-five."
Salaries are not so high In some ma
tonal agreement clubs as In the outlaw
camps, but the money the contract calls
for is sure and the chances for promotion
mad greater earning capacity commence
for every player when he gets into the
uniform of club conducted under the ma
tional agreement.
George Moriarity. Toledo's third baseman,
sold to the New York American League
Club. has improved wonderfully this sea-
son. No ball player in this fair land can
shoot the ball across the diamond with
more speed than George. II Moriarity can
hit around 30 in the major organization
he will undoubtedly make good.-Toledo
Blade.
Manager Lajoie of the Cleveland team
worked out at second in practice Friday at
Detroit, and thinks he may be able to play
soon.
Joseph Mcdonald died in the Burlington
County IN. j. Hospital the result of be-
ing hit on the temple by base ball in
game. Mcdonald played on the Keystone
nine of Mt. Holly against the Camden
team. He was at bat when he was hit He
continued to play and finished the game.
II was not until after he ate his supper that
the injury gave him any severe pain.
Ed. Ransick. the Cincinnati boy who
managed the Danvilie team in the Virginia
League this year. has accepted the man
agement of the Augusta team of the South
Atlantic League for next season.
Pittsburg should be enjoined from get
ting any closer to the National League
pennant. as 1t is likely to seriously inter-
fere with expert analysis of the Athletics
Giants battles.
Steamer Flanagan was given try-out
Friday, and looked very good. Too bad
that he can't play with Pittsburg in cham
pionship games.
Fulton in the New York State League,
has a young twirler who will bear watch
ing. He is Joseph Seitz. a Georgetown
University man. Some have called him a
ringer" but those who know say his name

What If 1t is twenty years since broke
into the big league? Does that signify that
1 should get out now to make room for
some young fellow" That is what kid
Gleason, second baseman of the Phillies,
wants to know. And then he continues:
There is just one other man in fast COM
pany today who started in the same time
that 1 did. Jim Mcclure. catcher. of the
New York Americans. who. / believe, was
the first man to handle my delivery when
/ went from the minors to the old league
Think Of the famous players who hourished
at that time and now have gone by the
board! In the catching line there were
Buck Ewing and Mike Kelly. the two
greatest backstops the game ever has
seen"
Harry Tate, late manager. and his BROTH
er, Hugh Tate, outfielder of the Cumber-
land base ball team, have quit. The Tates
among the best players in independent
circles and will doubtless find places on
other big teams but they cannot join any
nine of the local league. Hugh Tate early
in the season received a fine offer from
Harrisburg. 1t is said that Harry Tate did
rot take part in practice game recently,
whereupon he was asked to resign from
the team.-Cumberiand News. Hugh Tate
belongs to Washington and is on the re-
serve list.
The national base ball commission has
declined to make an inquiry for the Spokane
Base Ball and Exhibition Company in re-
gard to the base ball situation of Spokane
because that is purely a National Associa-
ton affair. For the same reason the COM
mission has declined to give the secretary
of the National Association advice concern
ing the payment of players draft. Evil
IDENTIFY. the National Association has
hitherto strenuousy insisted upon home
rule it is going to have 1t In full meas
ure.
