BASE BALL NOTES.

Manager CanuIIon Wants McIntyfe and
Schaeffer for Garland Stahl, and the deal
hangs fire. Next.
Buck Freeman was a happy man last
week at his Pennsylvania home. Howard
Wall sent him about twenty game chickens.
and the big mains start up next week near
Wilkesbarre.
The Pittsburg scribes are simply in a class
by themselves and demonstrate this by TAX
ing the word of pronounced lush to that
of a man who has lifted base ball to its
present high plane. But, then, Hey, Bar
ney,'' runs the bunch.
Both Dahlen and Mccain may be lacking
from the New York National League forces
next season.
Perrine purchased by Washington from
Kansas City, has been umpiring In the Pa
oific Coast League.
The Pittsburgs have lifelong lease on
the grounds at the Hot Springs.
The ST. Louis Americans was one of the
smallest teams numerically last season, but
it landed in fifth place.
In two seasons Des Moines has disposed
of nine players to ma jor leagues No won
der the club has been a money maker.
Pitcher Jack Powell of the st. Louis
Americans was benched but once the past
season.
George Stone. the premier batsman of the
American League, was welded to a Ne
braska bride the other day.
Pitcher Pfeister of the Cubs made the re-
markable record of striking out Tim Jordan,
the heavy batsman of the Brooklyns, eight
times in succession.
Charley Murphy denies that he offered
Holman, Slagle and Moran for Lumley, the
mighty clubber of the Brooklyn team. Il
would not make an even trade of Holman
for Lumley,' declared Murphy in his de-
NAL.
Clarke Griffith may give Laporte trial in
the outfield next year. Laporte Is not a
quick enough thinker or a sure enough field
err to hold down the third sack properly,
but his batting makes him a valuable man.
1t is said that Charley Irwin. the old Gin
cinnati and Brooklyn third baseman. who
has been playing good ball in the Pacific
Coast League during the last few years,
has cleared $4,000 in mining investments.
1t is to be hoped that Billy Murray. the
stricken with typhoid fever, will be fully re-
covered by the time the team leaves for the
south next March. A fever convalescent
could make no such trip.
"Steinfeldt is wonder" says the New
York Globe. HE was given up as dead
one in Cincinnati, rescued from Redland at
the earnest solicitation of Frank Chance
and against the advice Of Owner Murphy,
and he delivered the goods
1t Is now limited that Catcher Fred Bue-
low will wear the Columbus spangles next
year, to take the place of Ryan. That story
comes out of Cleveland, but has unofficial
sanction.
The veteran Arlle Latham has been Sc
cured to manage the Sharon, Pa, team Of
the Ohio and Pennsylvania League Last
season he tried managing in the south, but
quit after a brief trial and took to umpir-
ing.
Catcher Branch Hickey of the st. Louis
Browns hurt his hand SO that he could not
participate in the post season series with
the st. Louis Nationals. but his team mates
declared him In and he received check
Of SIPS.
Newspaper criticism may be at the bottom
of Elmer Flicks desire to get away from
Cleveland. During the past season 1t was
related In print that Flick was all right, but
that he could not hit with men on bases.
Fans got after him, and It is said that
Flick's sourness dates from that time. i
dispatch from Memphis says that the
Memphis Base Ball Association has decided
that under no consideration would 1t lease
it's grounds to the New York Giants. The
of brawls with the Giants there last spring.
Maophts man once accused two of the
New y ork ball players Of being offensive
to a woman he was escorting. Hotel rows
called. It was also disclosed that the
Southern League will book no games with
National League mines, because Pulliam
tried to keep the southern mines in Glass B
of the minor leagues.
1t is tho general opinion that Jake Thief
man, the pitcher drafted from Indianapo-
lis by Cleveland, should make good with
The latter. He is not a big man, being not
more than five feet nine inches tall and
weighing noe more than. 140 pounds when in
condition. but is game to the core. Thiel-
man broke into fast company by the way

pitched for that club in 1904 and won six

also used In q numher of games In the OUT

Nationals then drafted him and he won If
