BASEBALL NOTES.

IT has been related that Danny Hon-
man once killed a horse in its tracks
by hitting screeching home run over
the center field fence. the ball catching
the Old steed between the eyes. Wheth-
er or not this be true. the speedy GEN.
ter fielder is certainly killing the ball
at the Start-off of the 1907 season
Griffith's pitchers have felt severely
the change of climate and the jump
from sunny Atlanta to the breezy
Heights. Hogg'S arm is very sore. and
so IS Clarkson'S. Brockett also is COM
planning of a lame shoulder. Orth,
Doyle and Keefe will probably have to
hold UP the pitching staff until warm
weather comes.
Pittsburg Press: Joe Cantillon's
Washington team appears to have TAX
en- a big brace over last year. While it
has not won the majority of its games.
there is a great deal of promise in the
bunch. and fans who know Joe Cantil-
Ion and his methods say he will put the
team way up in the race before he is
through with the present season.
"Abe" Nahon. secretary of the New
York Americans, announced that
Hughes has been farmed to Montreal
and Castleton to Atlanta. After giving
both men try-out in fast company
Griffith decided that both could stand
some more blush leaguing' before they
would be ready for the American
League. With these two men gone. the
Yankees have Orth, Hogg. Doyle
Keefe, Clarkson and Griffith to do the
slab work. The "Old Fox is not ex-
pected to do much pitching. so that the
seasons work will fall on the five
youngsters.

As regards the French loan by the New
York. New Haven &c Hartford Railroad
Co. it is denied officially that from the
first there has been any trouble whatso-
ever in the arrangements for the placing
of the loan, they having been fully COM
pleted at the outset. The reported failure
of a part of the loan is undoubtedly due
to the fact that an original provision for
taking it in two installments was so mod
