BASE BALL NOTES.

The great battle between the Nationals
and Browns will be resumed this afternoon.
Falkenberg and Powell will be on the
firing line and the game should be a
corker
If 1t rains late this afternoon Managers
Stahl and McAleer have agreed to play a
double header tomorrow, the first game
starting at O'Clock.
The members of both the Nationals and
Browns took In the nearby river resorts
yesterday to pass away the time. and q
majority of them got good ducking for
their trouble.
Too bad George Mil had to be cheated
out of his nice single Saturday but then
Stone and HemphlI suffered also. the
only difference being that this pair do not
need the bingles as badly as the midget.
Perhaps Harry Howell is not pitching
great ball. He shut out both Boston and
the Athletics in succession. New York
could use this player bit just now.
Manager Arthur Irwin of the Altoona
Tri-stare team was in Philadelphia yester-
day. Owing to the disability of his star
catcher, Starnagle. his team has dropped
from first place to fourth. but Arthur de-
clares that soon as Starnagle gets back
In the game again Altoona will go right to
the front.
Those who watched Stone perform in the
st. Louis series here believed that they saw
in 1t Of the reasons of the decline in
the Boston team. How Jimmy Collins could
have parted with such a player for Jess
Burkett, who In the nature of things was
going back at the time the trade was made,
Is inconceivable to those who have watched
Stones performance since he joined the
Browns-Philadelphi Bulletin.
There Is not friend of the American
League who Is not sincerely sorry over
the series Of accidents which have be-
fallen the Cleveland team. AS rule, the
first reports of injuries to players are
greatly exaggerated, and 1t may be that the
Napoleons will not be deprived of the serv-
Ices of Bradley, Bay and the others so long
as was expected. But the absence of such
valuable men even for a couple Of weeks
Is terrible handicap to any team, but par
ticuiarly to one that Is fighting head-and-
pursuing that Cleveland bunch.
There was no material change In the Ma
tional League race during the week.
Though the Chicagos lost three points,
dropping from .7O4 to .701, they increased
their lead over the second club by one
game. Pittsburg again crowded New York
out of second place, but are only Ave
points ahead Two weeks ago 1t looked as
though 1t would be impossible to keep the
Phillies out of the first division. but I'M
less they brace up right away they stand
a good chance to be dropped into the Sec
ond division before they return home.
The double hump yesterday give them a
lead of only two games over the Cincinnati
Reds. who seem to be playing better ball
since completing their last deal.

All but the Baby Drowned.

BY the capsizing of sailing skiff at
Portsmouth, R. l.. yesterday. Mr.. and Mrs
Joseph Anthony of Portsmouth and their
daughter. aged four years. were drowned.
while their baby. aged one year. who was
the only other occupant of the boat. was
saved. The baby was strapped In a small
ro-cart and before the accident happened

HIGH PRAISE
FOR THE BROWNS

From the Philadelphia Press
Were the season little younger one
might be inclined to say:
Watch st. Louis!'
When the Browns were here on their first
trip they did nothing startling. Just be-
fore returning here last week they reeled
or four successive victories at Boston. This
feat was thought to be due more to Bos-
tl,n's weakness than to any great amount
of strength In the St. Louis combination.
But Philadelphia fans had their eyes
opened when the Browns played here last
wreck. The Athletics had all they could do
TO get an even break with them, and but
for Glade making two fierce wild throws on
Friday even this might not have been pos
sfble.

league park this season has AhoYn the

OF
THE BALL FIELD
BIZ HUGH s. FULLERTON.

One would think that ball players, strong,
always In condition. athletes and men sub
3ect to intense strain of nerve. would fight
like Kilkenny cats. Yet. as matter of
fact the professional players seldom do
battle. either among themselves or with
outsiders
It il not nice to think Of men fighting. yet
some of the most laughable things in base
ball are the fights between the men-not
exactly the lights themselves. but the rea-
sons that lead up to them. They come from
the most trivial. inconseQuential causes
and usually result from the sudden snap
ping of tense nerves. the momentary giving
away to temper over some small thing. The
tempers give way frequently, but it is sell
dom that the tempers OF two men give way
at the same, time-which explains the fnfre-
auency OF nstic battles.
y
One of tho greatest battles between bail
players was the one fought by Harry
Steinfeidt and Tommy Corcoran at the
Laughery Club, Garry Herrmonn's head
quarters In the country near Cincinnati
'rhs players had not been the best of friends
during the season. and when they were In
vited to be the guests OF President Her
mann at the club late In the year thu
trouble came to head. They did awful bait
Tie. 1t il stated by witnesses that Corcoran
walked all over Steiny. beat him up shame
fully. and made over his features to suit
himself.
They were separated and. fearing that the
battle might fnJure the fair name of the
club, Corcoran took his late opponent In
carriage. drove four miles to a railway got
on train with him. took him to Cincln-
natl, and then, getting In cab with him.
delivered him safely at home. Before they
arrived at Steiny's home they were better
friends than ever. and both were. sorry.

Aleer Is to be congratulated In having de-
veloped one of the speediest teams ever
gotten together. While all OF the Browns
are not stars. they make up for q lack OF
brtiiiancy on the part OF individuals BY
their team work
They are unusually fast on the base lines
and their inside playing was q revelation.
They worked the double steal. the run-and-
NIT play and the squeeze play IN the most
artistic fashion and their fielding was up to
the same high standard Jones Wallace.

With three good catchers and pitchers OF
the caliber of Powell, Howell. Glade. Petty.
Smith and Jacobson the Browns have some
splendid batteries. While there are one or
TWO who did not play here up to the
standard of their mates the team as q
whole Is speedy. weii-balanced combina-
ton. They are yet going to make lots OF
trouble for the leaders. Had they struck
their gait when here on their firt trip every
fan who saw them play last week would
have written them down for pennant prob
abilities. As 1t Is, the Browns look to have
excellent dark horse possibilities. es-
pecially should Cleveland take the antici-
pated slump.

put out of games than the New York

They have got away with this sort OF thing
for a very long time. and 1t Is about time
that sort of thing was cut out. They ought
to play bali on the level and not try to get
games by any old way, as they always
have.
