Maybe that second O'Brien find isn't going
to help Foundry!
Hutchinson is the leading pitcher in per-
centage of games won of those playing in
more than two games.
Clark and Cunningham have yet to lose
game. Cunningham is kept busy with
high school athletics, and Clark is not
games in the Departmental League
Sebastian leads the second sackers. In
five games he has accepted twenty-three
chances without a misplay.
Several catchers have clean states, but
c. Donaldson has the best record with
thirty-fOur putouts in four games.
Sixth is the only weak team in Glass A.
They showed improved form in their last
game. and If they could find some material
for little bolstering up it would be any
body's race.
Fillius. Shoemaker, Tindall and other left
patch protectors should by all means en-
ter in the hurdle race at the meet next
month. With all the practice they have
had with that left field fence it ought to
be cinch for one of the bunch.
Attorney General Moody was among the
lucky fans who saw the Sixth-Gurley game.
He exhibited much interest and enthusiasm
over the Sunday school brand of the na-
tional pastime.
Atchison is one of the few infielders who
prefer to play deep He is not Snowy
player, but very steady, and has strong,

Chittenden is picking up in his work at
third. 1t may take him some time to get
into the fast stride that distinguished him

provement over his earlier efforts
If Sixth had a few hitters like Mcdonald
II would soon be out of the leadership. He
went hitless in his last game, but that is
the first time In which he has failed TO
connect safely.
Genial George Campbell, Sixth's manager,
has issued challenge to that STRIPPING,

coming athletic meet Make up your books

Is a wise old owl he should take three
hours steam in a Turkish bath the day
before the record is broken.
Newman of Sixth is sort of Teutonic
combination of Waddell and Lajoie. He is
about as cross-grained a Weber a
Fields, full of unexpected stunts and merry
quips. He hits the ball hard and often
and handles his chances with a Chester
fieldan grace that would make Delsarte
devotee look like Langley the Silent going
after foul fly.
Did you ever see
Langley roofing for Fourth;
Tiep drive out home run:
- A girl that wasn't pretty squeezing" for
Foundry;
Rhodes strong reception in Fourth's
first game:
Or that Mephisto-Quiller crafty. grin that
ornaments Dutch Newman's classic fea-
lures when he gets his man at first.
Wouldn't it retire you?
That seraphic smile on the beaming block
of ex-Manager Leet when Gunton put the
gaff in Fourth was worth the price of
enough sustaining memberships to supply
the family of the most enterprising of the
Presidents anti-race suicide followers.
Have you asked
Ballenger how hard he has to hit a ball
to get home run, how much he gives
the mask man to let him steal base;
The Gunton players how they liked Ran

Charlie King what he is going to do to
Gunton;
Clear how and why he makes those
quick changes in attire;
Umpire Belts IL he likes to announce those
