Base Ball Notes.

Isn't 1t little early in the season for a
man who can't score game correctly ad-
vising Manager Cantillon about players
necessary for the Nationals?
Lave Cross contract with the Washing
ton club has another year to run, and he
will be back on third with the Nationals
next year, as the veteran has a great
friend and admirer in Manager Cantillon.
Jack Carr. the northeast boy, is back in
Washington once more for the winter.
Jacks work for Indianapolis In the early
part of last season was somewhat off color,
but in the last two months he batted
around the 400 mark and fielded nicely.
Maybe that bunch of hitters-Cross, An
derson, Hickman and Stahl-won't look
good next season with a man like Cantfl-
lon on the bench to keep them keyed up to
the top notch.
Just to show that his record at the top
of American League batters this season
was no f1uke, George Stone had the high
est average in the interleague series in st.
Louis.
A base ball club in Milwaukee without
Joe Cantillon would be like an automobile
without rubber tlreS.-Milwaukee News.
Fred Clarke and Barney Dreyfuss the
championship games in Chicago together
side by each, torpedoing stories that there
was tiff between them.

President Murphy of the Chicago Nation
ais is of the belief that the series of games
for the highest honors in base ball should
be extended.
Lew Wiltse, who Jumped Baltimore for
York last season. but left the tri-state
champions for an independent team iE Yer
mont, is cultivating his voice for Wont
you take me back solo to the National
commission.
New York and Cleveland both scored
more runs than Chicago the past season.
In batting Cleveland made eighty more
doubles. fifteen more triples and five more
home runs than the new champions.
1t is said that Presidents Pullman and
Johnson are both after Umpires Owen and
Egan, who worked for President OBrien
Of the American Association the past sea-
son.
Clark Griffith considers the Clevelands
the best ball team in the business, but
thinks they ought to be arrested for not
landing the American League pennant.
Turner, shortstop of the Clevelands, ac-
cepted more chances during the champion
ship season of 1906 than any other short
stop in the American League.
The Boston American League club has
drafted Pitcher John Killiam. a left-hand-
ed pitcher of the Burlington Qa.) club,
who did some very good work for that club
last season. John CANCEL was drafted by
Louisville. but the New York American
League club claims that player, and the
matter is under investigation.
"Jiggs' Donohue. the fine first baseman
of the Chicago Americans, said his hands
w .
thought time and again they were frozen.
He adds it was the most remarkable game
he ever played. and that he did not make
a misplay was more wonderful than any
thing else.
Joe Villa has two post-season tips. One is
that Freedman soon will again be the ac-
tive head of the Giants In place of John
T Brush who is always in the way and
that Abbaticchio will be in the lineup of
the ex-world's champions in 1907.
At the banquet to the Chicago National
League club at the Auditorium Hotel last
Tuesday, Mayor Dunno, Adrian Arson,
Probate Judge Cutting and George AIDE
made speeches. The latter said: Its
tough luck for me. a minor Lacquer, to fol-
low those who have been talking above 400
am expected to respond to the toast
Base Ball Abroad There is no base ball
abroad. and that is the reason 1 selected
the subject myself"
Outfelder Charles Hemphill of the
Browns, who was fined and suspended for
dissipation in 1905. has been rewarded for
good and faithful service this season by
having the amount he lost two years ago
S2O0-returned to him by President Hedges
at the suggestion of Manager McAleer
Charlie has been a model husband and
total abstaner since his marriage.
Many have wondered how it was that
Pitcher McGlynn of the ST. Louis Nation
ais came to be nicknamed STONY" Nc
Glynn. 1t seems that he was named
Grant Stonewall Jackson McGlynn, one
of his parents hailing from the north and
one from the south. so that his appella-
ton was very much in the nature of a COM
nrOmiSe.
