A NEW MlTT.
Illinois Inventor Gets Up Unique
Catching Glove.

Now that the baseball mitt has been
enlarged until no further Improvement
can be made in this direction, and has
been modified in design by the addition
of heel pads and finger webs to insure
the safe lOgment of the ball until
ingenuity can suggest nothing further,
an Illinois inventor comes forward
with Il mitt for two hands which is
entirely unique.
This glove is constructed with Sepa
rate hand and finger holds for each
hand, connected with a pocket or re-
ceptacle between them, 50 that all the
catcher has to do is to judge accurate
ly the probable course Of the thrown or
pitched bali and close the pocket by
folding the double glove to prevent its
escape. In order not to interfere with
the catcher's throwing arm. one Of the
gloves, depending on whether the
Wearer is right or left handed, in de-
signed to permit the easy and quick
removal of the hand.
In llOdern baseball the use of the
glove is looked upon as essential. even
for the fielder, and the day when the
catcher wore only a small glove. not
much larger than the felder'S glove of
today, is only memory Of the days of
AnsOn's supremacy on the diamond.

BASEBALL NOTES.

| The Athletics are in first place now.
| The very novelty of the thing made the
| Senators look while they were there.
| Just one less than half the big league
| teams now have percentage of better
than 500 Neither of the boston teams
| are on this list.
Those goose-eggS are pretty common
these times. In Mondays games two
of the Am. rican and one of the Ma
tionai League clubs got whitewashed.
The National League tail-enders shut
out the leaders in Mondays game. To
make the pill more bitter the tail-end-
ers are the Brooklyn players. while the
leaders are the celebrated New York
Giants.
Jesse Burkett's Worcester delegation
is certainly doing some great work.
Not since Walter Burnham made Wor-
cester his stamping ground has there
been so successful baseball team in
that city.
New Bedford is the tail ender just
now in the New England League. The
club blossoms out this week with two
new twirlers. The two pitchers who
started the season with the team both
got the word to skdoo last week.
That was quite n jolt the Chicago
Americans got Monday. st. Louis
whitewashed them on their own
grounds and pushed them down two
notches to next to the last place. The
peculiar feature was that Chicago's
percentage at the end of the game was
the same as St. Louis had before il
started and vice versa.
The fans at the big league games
have been getting their moneys worth
right along, but when il comes to a
game like that Of Monday at Gin
cinnati when the home team and the
st. Louis aggregation broke even with
only two runs each at the END of the
18th inning. that's like getting double
trading stamps on bargain day.
