team yesterday and he will probably finish
the season there, as he is being treated

All the injured players have rounded into
form and with their pitchers right the

along with his Detroit crowd. There must
be something radically wrong with Ar
mour or perhaps the~players are pulling
for Coughlin they did In Cleveland Tor
Lajoie.
No reflection should be cast on Charley
Jones for his batting. This popular boy Is
hitting up to his usual gait, but there are
several bingies overdue from the others.

times at bat off the Buffalo pitchers the

owner of the New York Nationals. Is now
rated as being worth S5,000,000.
Capt. Kelley of the Reds thinks the New

Lowe never was a slugger but that he has
lost the knack of doing things in a pinch.

man forgotten the feat accomplished by
Lowe In Boston on the Congress street
grounds-four home runs in succession? No
slugger, Ell?

Bransfield, the Quaker first baseman, has
been accused of not moving fast enough or
hitting hard enough to be of great value to
his club. A swatting setback appears to

mates happy by his behavior.-New York

lice is the result of a recent crusade against
betting at the Boston base ball games.

board at once declared the matter closed.
Says Joe Jackson in the Detroit Free
Press on the loan of Third Baseman Nor
gan to Boston by Detroit: When a team
that has won ten out Of fourteen games
cannot draw 1000 people on an ideal day
and with a possible pennant winner as its
opponent, there isn't much chance to get
the money to pay salaries for players who
are not absolutely necessary"

Jones and Ed Smith. The White Sox have
Fielder Jones and Frank Smith The Ma
