BASEBALL NOTES.

Manager Mike Madden has landed Bob Moran the speedy twirler and Johnny Edmonds, the fast infielder who were with the Pastimes last sea- son, for his Brooklyn team. Jerry Shugrue the old state leaguer whose name was omitted from the original list of players will also be with the Brooklyns this season.
 Griffith evidently thinks he can make q third baseman out of Laporte especially when such a capable third sacker as Conroy is sent to the out field.
 According to report, the Brooklyn team of the outlaw Atlantic league has signed Billy Gilbert. McGraw's star of the last two seasons, 10 play second base.
 The Dartmouth team is making its first southern trip. There will be four games with Washington and Lee and one each with Virginia, Georgetown and Annapolis.
 The collegian Storke is playing q fine game for the Pirates. Incidental ly. the Pittsburg roster of players probably represent more colleges than any other team.
 The Brooklyns are showing such a fast pace in exhibition games that there will be considerable disappoint- ment should they fail to start off well in the pennant race.
 Around Hot Springs, where the Plttsburgs train. Barney Dreyfuss is reckoned a fine walker. If he put in a few springs around Pittsburg Inc would become fine swimmer.
 Attendance at exhibition games have been bigger than ever this spring." says President Pulliam. and if that is any indication the regular games will draw better than ever this year."
 We have the best pitching stan in the National league with the pos sible exception of the Chicago club" says Barney Dreyfuss. Possibly the amiable Mctiraw will not concur in this opinion.
 Bob Unglaub is doing brilliant work at first base for the Boston Ameri- cans. The wonder is to those who have seen him play the bag is that he was not regular major league first baseman long ago.
 Somebody sets forth the claim for Hans Lobert that he is the best of the bunters. Each of the New York teams has a bunter that gives com plete satisfaction. to wit, George Browne and Willie keeler.
 There is another Devlin on the Georgetown university team. He is second baseman. and the extent 10 which he breaks into the assist col umn every day leads to the belief that he is a younger brother of Me- Graw's third basernan.
 Sockalexis. who was famous In dian almost as long ago as Hiawatha. has just signed 10 play for the Ran gor team the coming season. Fans saw Socks slap one of Rusie's benders ov- CT the polo ground rampant for home run.
 Two of the Cleveland players are laid up in a hospital in Atlanta. Hiuchman with a lame foot and Bradley seems to have recovered en- tirely from the fractured arm which Bill Hogs's speed inflicted on his last summer.
 \ Cincinnati sport names these odds against the National league teams. finishing first: Chicago. to j: New York, ! to 2: Pittsburg. ! to 7, Cincinnati. ; to i: Philadelphia. q to Il: Boston 10 to 1: Brooklyn. 15 to I: Si Louis. 10 to T. Skimpy prices these. not to mention tine fact that the relative ratings of Cincinnati. Bce- ton and Brooklyn are calculated to give one Ebi,efs a fit.
 Jerry Cornell. the outfielder Of ttc 2 New Haven b:febsll club and one oi [ the star pIayerS of the winsfed bsas- ' ketbaII quintet. has not signesl tbe ' New Haven contract that was sent to him. Cornell said today that as thers | had been a change in management Oi the New Haven club and 1t was m uorrsl that there would te SsIn.lsy playing he thought that be was eIi- titled to more money than his cOafrac' called for.
