WATERBURY. CONN.

Collins is the best hitter on the Bos.
ton Americans, and his average is %
points shy OF the 800 mark.
With Yale, Batch and Hummel, the
present Brooklyn lineup is strong re-
minder of the Connecticut league. In
cidentally the kind Of ball Brooklyn is
playing does nothing to dispel the IL
fusion.
Fall River of the New England
league was scheduled for a Sunday
game with Bridgeport on Steeplechase
Island. but McDermott's men did not
appear. The Orators then played the
Nationals. Bridgeport team, and won
by a TO / score.
Jack Harper has probably pitched
his last game for the Reds. He has
gone home for the rest of the season,
incapacitated by an abscess in the
armpit He is likely TO figure In a
trade that will land him with some
other team next year.
Heine Batch has good chance to
get after the Brooklyn management
now. 1t is claimed that Ned Hanlon
wheedled him into signing a Brooklyn
contract for less money than he got ia
Holyoke. The same game was tried
on Hummel. but ii didn't work.
But seven players in the American
league have figured IN every game this
this season. according to an exchange.
They are: Burkett OF Boston. Crawford
Of Detroit. Davis and Murphy of the
Athletics, Tannehill OF Chicago, Wal
lace Of st Louis and Turner Of Cleve-
land.
Speaking OF the proposed post sea-
son series between the Browns and
the Cardinals, Stanley Robson says he
is willing 10 give the players half Of
the net receipts. He suggests that the
two teams divide this so per cent. 90
per cent TO the winner and 20 per cent
TO the loser.
Lovers OF base ball all over the coun-
try viii rejoice in the rebuke admins
tered by the national commission to
the Brooklyn management. The Gus
tom OF trying to get youngsters to play
for less than their minor league sal
aries is deserving Of nothing but adj
verse criticism.

while Jersey City and Providence were
standing still. makes the Eastern
league race. which ends this week.
more OF a scorcher than ever. Jersey
City has won III and lost AZ. while
Providence and Baltimore have each
won 20 and lost AZ.
One reason why collegians do not
play a better grade OF base ball mar
be due 10 the howl against summer
ball AS one prominent professional
recently observed. the college men are
agraid 10 take ball in their hands IN
summer, and the only playing they do
Is in the spring at college.
