Ladies' day" tomorrow at American
League Park.
The national commission can do the
Washington club a good turn by settling
the Kelley case our way The Nationals are
certainly in bad shape at present
Think of it, the Boston Americans have
won three out of the last four games.
Seven consecutive hits and eight hits out
of ten is a sample of the work that Hayden,
the Boston American League CASTOR, has
been doing for Rochester.
But five games separate the eight clubs OF
the American Association, making this the
closest race today in the country.
Wild Conroy is easily the best base stealer
OF the three Greater New York teams up to
date Conroy has pilfered fourteen bags SO
far.
1t is a peculiar fact that for three years
In the National League there has never
been any question but that the pennant lay
between two clubs. 1t is either the Cubs or
the Giants this year, and the Cubs are go
ing strong.
Nobody wants to stalk about syndicate
base bali, but it certainly looks as if Barney
Dreyfuss and Fred Clarke were either
moved by friendship or bad judgment when
they let Beaumont, Ritchey Howard. Brain
and F'laherty go to Boston and MI Dewey.
Old John Anderson IS playing better ball
this season than he has in years. He is the
life of the Senators outfeld and Is stealing
bases with great regularity. At that John
isn't a player who takes any chance on the
sacks and usually makes the station he Is
headed for.-New York Journal.
Charley Hickman is certainly doing some
classy bingling of late Yesterday he met
ho hits OF which
was good for three sacks. Yet the story
has gone around the circuit time and again
for the last three years that plano Legs
is all in. Charley may have seen better
days. but he Is far from being has been
yet.-New York Sum-
Umpire Evans says that Pat Flaherty was
correct in his ruling on the decision he
made on the morning of May 80. In refus-
ing to allow an out on fly ball that was
muffed by the pitcher after a run. He says
the rule was framed to cover intentional
muffs to make double plays not. to cover
I'D msplays, and he Is correct.
A gleesomely glad welcome awaits for
mer Pirates when they come here with the
Boston outfit this week. Beaumont. Flaher-
ty, Ritchey Rowland. Brain and Linda
mann are sure to receive warm evidence or
their popularity with Pittsburg patrons or
the game-Pittsburg Dispatch.
Manager Mack has recalled Shean from
Montreal, and will place this promising
youngster on second until Murphy Is able
to play again. Mack also wired for waivers
on knights release. This does not indicate
that he will let Knight go. but he Is looking
for a trade for the young third baseman
Mack would like to get O'Brien, the clever
utility inflelder Of the Cleveland club, who
was with the st. Louis team last year. and
has made a proposition to La1oie for the
latter's release. Boston may make a trade
for knight for one Of the extra Boston IN
fielders. For the present 1t Is likely that
Nichols will be placed at short, at least
until after Cross resumes his position at
shOrtStop.
Western Association records went sky
ward May 90 when Okla homa and Hutch
inson battled % innings, the former win
ming 9 to /. Fans watching the score
board down town left work behind to race
to the park. Many arrived after the game
had reached extra innings, yet In plenty OF
time to see more than full game Work
men went out after o'clock. They were
fully rewarded. for never was there better
PLAYING All the errors came early in the
game and were not costly. Star catches
and hair-raising putouts were pulled on
that never could have happened had the
players been in their usual calmness. Out
fielders made the most impossible catches
and infielders were getting everything.
