The fighting spirit Of the Detroit
Tigers is one Of the bright spots in III y
American League.

form already. In the second game he
was removed for making a 1,j00word
kick to the umpire.

son. The catcher's hitting this season
has been very timely.

that authenticated players are the
best. He has three Of them on the
Tigers, besides himself
Harry Davis feat of driving the ball
over the right field fence at Boston. on
April "A, was never before accom-
pl;shed by Il visiting player.
The report that Matty Fitzgerald. the
Giants catcher, had injured his arm
and would find it necessary to retire to
the minor leagues is not true.
McGinnity, the veteran Giant twirler
nearly tears his heart out when one of
his support makes misplay. 1t doesn't
bother Bill Dahlen much, however.
Out in st. Louis they assert that

Secretary Locke, Of the Pittsburgs,
says now that Nealon and Leach are
back in form the Pirates should go
along swimmingly. No trouble about
that with this weather.
Hughey Jennings has n double bar
relied batting order. Instead Of work
ing up to a single climax with his best
batterS, he has made two divisions Of
his sluggers. 1t has worked well 50
far.
The brooklyn club of the new At

garding the slownrss in the box of joe
Doyle, the New York American pitcher.

only means that opposing teams will be
beaten al the quicker.
The Gardiner High school team de-
serves great credit for the mastery

Little High school Wednesday. Ten
hits, II assists, and no errors is a rec
ord seldom made by a team outside the
professional ranks, ana is something TO

touch second base, cutting across the
diamond to first. Jake Beckley was
next, and touched the little fellow out,
after lie had got safely back to the
bag.
Manager Hanlon is much encouraged
about his pitching staff. Mason and
Ewing are both in fine shape for the
Eastern trip, and he expects Lcary and
Minahan to give good accounts of
themselves. Hall and Essck will be
left here, subject to a hurry call if they

determined to make good, which means
that they probably will do SO. The
