SUNDAY SCHOOL LEAGUE NOTES.

Monday and Wednesday are the only
scheduled dates for games this week. leav-
ing four open dates for the many postponed
games Monday the Ninth Street boys
meet Bethany, and Wednesday Bethany
battles with Rhode Island Methodist.
Capt. Clements continues to play great
game at the initial sack for the leaders.
Turner who fell into his place in the second
game on the Fourth, also put up fine
game, accepting his thirteen chances In
good style and hitting the ball for a triple
and a double.
One of the prettiest exhibitions of base
ball that has ever been witnessed by the
fans in the Sunday School League was
given Tuesday when the leaders and the
aggregation from Blomtngdale played fast
nine-inning game-score. l to D. Syman-
oski the little twirler of the Rhode Island
Methodists, had a shade the better of the
slabwork over his opponent, Litchf1eld. The
former sent nine men to the bench on
strikes and allowed only one man to pass.
while Litchfeld. although wild, struck out
five and walked four.
Harris Is putting up fine game at short
field for the leaders.
Quantrelle, the initial guardian for the
Ninth Street boys, is hitting the ball pretty
hard. In three games last week he took
care of thirty-eight chances.
Evans is covering the third sack for the
Ninth Street boys well.

bad start in Mondays game. but the fans
are aware of his ability as a ball player
and are confident that he Will deliver the
goods in the future.

team, in his last three games turned away
thirty-nine batters and passed only two
men.
Having been laid up with rheumatism,
Wheeler, the infielder Of the Ninth Streets,
was seen in a uniform on the Fourth for the
first item in almost two months. He played
a good game at the second sack, getting a
double and single.
Capt Common thinks he has struck good
thing in Thompson, the pitcher who played
in the second game Independence day.
Thompson practically had his game won,
but weakened in the ninth. allowing two
bases on balls and three hits, counting for
three runs for the First, which were enough
for victory.

are to be played, beginning Tuesday: July

there is no local player who can claim to
be his superior. He caught fly In deep
center in a recent game that looked labeled
for two or three bases, but the find put
on steam and caught the ball while on the
dead run and right in the midst of large
crowd. He was cheered to the echo. and
every time he came to the plate was given
an ovation.
Why the Columbia Athletic Club is not
winning more games is a hard proposition
to solve, for the team on paper looks to be
one of the strongest in the league. This
time last season 1t was well up with the
leaders, and at the close of the season, with
the same team with the exception of two
players, who In every respect are better
players than their predecessors, it carried
off the pennant.

Club, while sliding to the plate in a recent
game severely cut his head, but after being
attended to by his teammates led

and at bat has been of the best. On several
occasions he has whipped the ball from

son of twice his age.
Accompanying this article is photo
graph of James Collins. who for many
years has been rated with Bradley of Cleve-
land as one of the countrys two best third
baSemen. Recently he was sold to the Phil
adelphia American League Club by the Bos-
ton Americans for a big sum. Collins has
played on five pennant-winning teams and
both captained and managed the Boston
Americans when they took the world s
championship by downing Pittsburg.
This responsibility shows in his features.
Although he Is only fhirtyfour, his face
Is scanned and wrinkled to the fifty-year
appearance. No grizzled old salt after a
lifetime before the mast shows more lines
than Jimmy. Yet he is a man of good hab-
its. who Is happy. in good health. and looks
forward to many more years of successful
base ball. besides a business life after he
quits the diamond
But he is a marked man for the rest Of
his life. The base ball lines will never dis
appear from his face.
Track and Field Athletes
Track and field athletes are not immune
from the effects of their specialties.
Examine a picture Of the finish of a
sprinting race. 1t will be found in every
case that one or all Of the faces show
clearly the mental and physical strain I'M
der which the contestants labored at the
supreme instant The last ounce of energy
being given. the difficulty of breathing as
bursting lungs strive to hold out till the
tape is passed the wild desire to win. and
the pangs when defeat Is evident. are all
marked in the faces.
Take man like Shick of Harvard. for
example, who during his four college years
was a contestant every year, not only in
the Intercollegiate. hut in a host of minor
meets. He figured in perhaps a hundred
such finishes. and in many of them much
depended on his ability to force himself
In a victor. 1t is inevitable that his face
should show some marks of the contor-
lions to which 1t has been submitted. There

Fred Clarke of the Pittsburg club, who.
in his day, has played many a strenuous
game is now an entirely changed man in
his methods Of base ball play. Fred
teaches the lads under him to cut out I'M
necessary roughness and to be gentlemen
on the ball field as well as on the street
Clarke is violently opposed to the Nc
Graw style OF base bail. and he does not
believe. like the little Celt, that you can
win games only by fighting.
He was pointing this fact out to his
team the other day, and after calling at
tention to the decent crowd of fellows who
compose the Chicago club. and their Won
derful success as ball tossers, he finished
his talk by adding:

One day when the Chicago y, hite Sox
were in Boston. as the crowd was filing out
OF the passaSeway leading TO Huntington
avenue. one of the spectators remarked
My but they are lucky team" and
Catcher Bill Sullivan. who was within
hearing distance. retortcd, Luck always
comes To good club.
One no longer hears any one refer to the
world champions as the hitless wonders
or speak disparagingly of them. In fact.
almost everybody prefers to see that team
play TO any on the diamond. No matter
how they come out this year they have
shown themselves TO be as good a club as
there is in the field. The American League
season is almost half over and either Chi
cago or Cleveland will be in from, when
d western club would again land the Ameri-
can League pennant. The battle will be be-
tween Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit.
Connie Mack doubtless imagined that his
team would have very good chance for
the FIRST position when he annexed Jimmy
Collins 10 his club. This was very pretty
financial arrangement indeed and Mack
confessed that he got his money back in four
days. but it Is a question If the move has
proven as desirable from playing stand
