to acknowledge 1t to De,ehanty.
Stay away from me-. he called to Dele

But Delehanty couldn't see 1t that way.
and kept up his Ginning so long that Silk
got and chased him to the bench.
Del then caught it hot from Cantillon
for being put out OF the game. and he again
opened on the umpire. This time he was
chased off the grounds.
The bouncing of Delehanty caused the re-
appearance of Pete O'Brien, but 1t was a
task for the clever infelder, he has not
fully recovered from his fever. Notwith-
standing. O'Brien played a swell game and
his singles in the third and sixth innings
scored two runs each time. Too much
praise cannot be given 'Brien for doing
his very best under adverse conditions.
Many players would have loafed their
jobs under the circumstances.
We don't like to throw bouquets at our
selves. but little Shipke must have read the
base ball notes in last evenings Star The
midget has been doing well in a fielding
line that We had to comment on it and de-
plore the fact that he couldn't bat better.
He came right back at yesterday with
two singles and nome run and we deserve
the rebuff. Shipke's ONE run was not only
a tremendous drive. but 1t also served to

at third, called to him to go home he was
half way between second and third. He
was pegging then very fast. but the cry
seemed to stimulate him. and he let out
a few more links and fairly flew down the
line toward home. The men on the bench
made room for him. and he sank down pref

clyde Milan hooked off three hits yester-
day. and two OF them came within an ace
of injuring Knight and Winter. In the third.
Knight was in on the grass laying for a
bunt when Milan sent a fierce liner at the
tail boy. knight only caught a partial
glimpse of the shooting leather and put
down his hands in despair. The ball ran up
his arm and clouted him on the shoulder.

long fly that came down near the fence,
and incidentally prevented three more runs

Ell Gates. the pitcher secured by the Ma
tionals from the Oakland club, has been
pitching grand ball this summer and he
should prove good one next season. The
Oaklands played at Portland last Tuesday. |
and the correspondent of the Oakland
Times telegraphed the following account to
his paper:
Gates did great work yesterday for the
Commuters and shut-out the homo team.
He was master of the situation all the
time and easily prevented the Beavers from
scoring. The locals appeared to have q
chance In the eighth. when Hartman and
Casey got around to second and third
There was only one out but Gates speedily
disposed of the side by striking out Bassey

reports about Freeman and Mcbride con-
firmed. Stanley has played frequently
against both men. and he Is loud in his
praise Of the first baseman and shortstop
Joe says that Freeman is almost up to Hal
Chase In the matter OF fielding and is
good. consistent sticker. Mcbride is also
a star in the fielding line, and while not a
strong batter. Stanley is confident that he
will be able to hold his own against the
crack American League pitchers.
Stanley had only fair season with Louis
Vile on account of bad health. He worked
many times when he should have been in
bed. and in only the last six weeks of the
season was he able to do himself justice.
He finished the batting 300 but
during the last six weeks had an average of
$50. Manager Tebeau thinks great deal
of Stanley, and he will doubtless return to
Louisville next season.
Joe was in the Cincinnati throwing con-
test. and just fell six inches short of the
winner. He went into the contest cold as
no preliminary practice was allowed and
feels confident he could have done better
under more favorable conditions
