By next season Catcher Heyden will be
talked about more than ever. He is taking

OF the different pitchers and should be able
to bat around .275 next summer. AS a
thrower to bases and receiver there is not
catcher in the business who has any
thing on the popular Mac"
Pitcher Bill Wolfe is taking things easy
for the present and will not try to prac-
tice until a few days before the team re-
turns from the west. Sir William will go
very slow when he starts work again

League to touch him.
Thomas Fogarty of Wilkesbarre. Pa, has
been signed by the Cincinnati team and
will report to that club in two weeks. He
is now playing with the Poughkeepsie club
OF the Hudson River League, and has made
such fine record as a hard hitter and
fast outfielder that it is believed he will
make good in the big league. He was for
merly captain of the Wyoming Seminary

Three Ohio cities were conceded to have
championship chances at the commence
ment of the 1905 race. but Cincinnati is an
chored in the second division of the Ma
tional League clubs and Cleveland has
dropped from first to third place in the
American League standing. Columbus leads
the American Association but defeats by
Milwaukee have decreased the pennant
prospects of Clymers club. Both Cleve-
land and Columbus may redeem early spring
promises and give Ohio two pennants. The
Blues begin long stay at home his
week and If Lajoie gets back in the game
and other crippled players recover, Cleve-
land should squirt and be a contender at the
close of the season. Columbus must stand
the test of another Western trip, while
Milwaukee, its closest rival, is at home.
Eddie Minahan pitched for Toledo yester
day having returned to the club. Two
months ago Grillo declared that he would
never get drop of mercy and would be

same. Such actions of manager makes the

ly wanted because of the pitching staff go
ing wrong. In desperation he permit
ted to return.-Columbus Dispatch
Pitcher Clark of the Jacksonville club of
the South Atlantic League shut out Macon,
the champions of 1906 and leader in the
present race, for ten innings without hit
on August II, but his teammates also fall
ed to tally and darkness put end to one
of the most remarkable pitching duels in
the history of the game. Only four hits
were made off Loucks, Macons pitcher.
Jacksonville gave Clark faultless support,
but two errors were made behind Loucks.
Each pitcher had eight strikes to his credit
and each gave five bases on balls. Clark's
record was also marred by wild pitch.
Some of the best pitching feats of the sea-
son are credited to the South Atlantic pitch

league clubs will go to that league for
twrling talent.
