Baseball Notes.

Nationals will be capitalized next sea-
son at $4,000, and that he will be in

has been turned over to Baltimore. He
had a record of losing more games
than any National league pitcher, ex-
cept Wilhelm, of Boston.
President Lennon, of the st. Paul
club, declares that Mike Kelly will not
manage the Toledo club next season
for the reason that@he is reserved by
st. Paul and must play there.
Hogg, of the Highlanders. has not
made an error in the twenty-five
He is the poorest batter in the league,
having made but two safeties and two
runs.
Ted Sullivan, scout for the Cincin-

in search of players. He will look at

and lost four.
| The appearance of Manager Lajoie
in uniform ought to bring good cheer
to the Clevelands. When Larry gets
back for that last month of the season
| the Indians will show more of the
war time spirit.
As little aftermath of that small
riot in our ball yard Monday, it might
not be out of place to say that it was
fortunate for the spectator who struck
Umpire Connolly that Tim Hurst was
not the target.
Little Mig Clarke, of Cleveland, is
going to make a great major league
catcher some day. Last year he
caught in. more than 100 games for
Atlanta and is showing considerable
ability in the big league.
! Brouthers, the third baseman of the
| Montgomery club, whom the Philadel-
phia Americans have landed for next
season, is a big, fast young fellow who
| resemble Harry tWolverton very much
| in his bearing on the field. He can
sting the pellet.
| Pop Rising was not taken on the
western trip by the Boston Americans.
He will remain in Boston and Practice
4 with Owens and Goodwin, new men,
and Catcher McGovern. Armbruster
took the trip and is expected to do his
share of the catching.
Sam Crawford and Germany"
Schaefer are having a hot race for the
little of champion run getter of the De-
troits. On August Sam had lead of
i10 runs, having scored Al to his rivals
81, but at the present time the stand
/ ing is: Crawford, AZ Schaefer, 38.
Claud Rossman is to be taken on
1 again, by Cleveland in the spring, and
lit is almost certain that he will stay. in
big. league company next year. Claud
has been playing first base for Des
Moinese this season and batting in the
way that made him the terror of Con-
lnecticut league pitchers two years ago.
I Jim Mcclure has been playing con-
tinuous ball for twenty-five years, says
Jim Bagley, in the New York Evening
Mail. In all that time he has never
been fined or disciplined in any way.
No umpire has ever addressed him
texcept in terms Of affection. Jim is
all that he doesn't look like. Some
have called him "O1d Iron Face" 9TH

have a regular Damon and Pythias
affection for each other. Barney is
credited with saying the other day:

| CHI of
time has come for us to get out of the
game I'll be ready to dispose of my
holdings, for / don't want to take
chances with any other manager after
I'm through with Clarke, and he feels
the same way about working for any
other president We became prominent

| Evidence of sharp tussle for the
lead in the American league pennant
race is the fact that no less than siz
teams have at some time or other this
, season been in first place. They are
Washington, Detroit, New York, Phila-
deiphia, Chicago, and Cleveland. The
last named club has been first or
seven different occasions, and the
White Sox have been in the van si1
times. Moreover, the Washington
team has been in the lead twice, the
Athletics three times, New York twice
and Detroit on one occasion. Boston
| winner of two pennants, has not beer
to the fore this year, though the team
| is doing well at present, but stands al
most a hopeless chance of finishing or
top. The St Louis Browns have alsc
failed to view the surroundings from
, the dizzy height. The Giants have lee
