Base Ball Notes.

Now for four straight from ST. Louis
Even Jacobsen, the nervy boy, couldn't
stop the White Sox
Tom Hughes is about due to pitch for the
Nationals today and maybe he has regained
his form.
The only satisfaction to be cleaned from
the western trip is that the other eastern
clubs are not doing much better than the
Nationals.
The championship race is still pretty
one, and the Bostons, New Yorks and Ma
tionals will about get in the first division
when the western clubs come east.
Little Mil appears to be hitting the ball
as good as any of the other Nationals,
Manager Stahl excepted. Big Frank Huels-
man is something of disappointment.
The Nationals leave st. Louis Sunday
night for home and should reach here
early Monday evening. A good nights
sleep and they will be ready for the two
games with Boston on Tuesday
Lave" Cross was presented with a min
iature stuffed elk in Cleveland his home.
Lucky for Connie Mack that Lave" was
not long out of the game.
Harry Howell. the Browns star twirler,
will be out of the game for some time
While throwing spit" balls the other day
he strained a ligament of his shoulder.
Louis Fiene, extra pitcher of the Chi
cago American League Base Ball Club, has

can Association The deal was finished

club at once
Monte Cross, well again, is with the Ath-
letics, but as long as Knight the nineteen
year-old schoolboy, keeps at his present
pace the veteran will warm the bench.
Elberfeld will leave Hot Springs before
the end of the week and rejoin the High
landers, where his presence at short is
badly needed. Charley horse" which
has troubled him since the beginning OF
the season has disappeared.
Although the Nationals were badly beaten
and not at their best, it was plain to see
that they are an entirely different bunch
the tail end of the American League col
umn last year. Jake has his men full of
ginger.-Chicago Chronicle.
There was a sensational wind up to the
game between Indianapolis and st. Paul
Monday With the score to against
them, ST, Paul filled the bases in the ninth
Inning. Then with two gone, Bruce, in right
for indianapolis, made bare-handed
catch, preventing at least tie.
The decision of the court at Welland.
Ont, granting demages in the sum of s. 900
against the Michigan Central railroad to
the wife and daughter of Edward j. Dele
hanty, the famous ball player who was
drowned by falling from the International
bridge at Buffalo last summer after he had
been elected from a train, has been re-
versed by the court at Toronto.
Private advices are to the effect that
Manager Selee may decide to make trade
in players before he quits Philadelphia.
The Phillies are anxious to secure another
pitcher. AS 1t stands at present Selee has
one more twirler than he wants and he
may come to some understanding with the
Philadelphia club to let them have his sur
plus man. The Cubs leader has not an
nounced which one he will let go, but 1t
will not be either of his youngsters. Pfeffer
or Ruelbach.
Looks like Philadelphia, Cleveland or
Chicago to me- says Mike Powers of the
Athletics Chicago will slump when it
gets away from those water-soaked
grounds New York has a bum pitching
staff. and Washington Is just about good
enough to lead the second division. Now
as to our outfit, we are in good shape, and
with our pitchers in grand shape we should
be able to set the pace when we get back
in our own back yard.
