Lowell Courier Citizen: Pitcher Lew
Moren of the Philadelphia Nationals
owns $500 worth of stock in the Boston
National League club.

Of Follansbee is poor judgment. Bren-
nan is not as valuable a man in any
department of the game.
Haverhill has now played three tie
games, to nine-inning game with
Lynn; Thinning 3-3 game with Fall
River. and a 2O-inning to l game with

Providence Tribune: Steele of Lynn,
Slime and FrOck of Worcester and Cut
ting of Brockton are four good pitchers
that are apt to be doing great work
in the New England League.
Cutting has twirled eight shutouts
for BrOcktOn so far this season and
three of the games he has lost have
been by one run. These games were
by scores of to 3, 2 to 1 and l to @.
Lowell Mail: The New Bedford play
ers should get a swift call from UNI
pires for the way they delay the game

but he is also the hard luck
pitcher of the team. OF his defeats no
less than five have been by single
run. One was lost in the tenth inning,
another in the 1:th.
New Bedford Standards: Manager
Winn of the Lowell club was after
Dwinal of the Maine State League as
Il possible addition to his staff of
pitchers, but has passed him up, as he
learned that he was going back.
Niles of the st. Louis team is setting
a great pace for the heavy hitters of
the American League. He closed last

Elmer Flick, Crawford and Cobb are
hot after the st. Louis man. Flick
closed the week with $50; Cobb is hit
ting for .341, and Crawford for 1896. La

verhill got IL hits off him for 4 total
of % bases and the score was Y To

opponents. Cutting has held one team
TO one single already this year and
lhree opposing teams have been let
