captain. He has made Il record in
the box that is not in anyway near

not only played the game in the

batting average way above the
average.
The team, next year, are fortu-

Smith is a good representative of

good player, but q student above
the average class, a thing which
many good athletes do not strive

Shannon is now playing better ball
for New York than Seymour. Such are
the vagaries of the great old game.
Sam Lever could pitch as well II
he had but one hand. In making his

these days.

team, the price being $4,000. The
team is to be delivered at the close of
