This mornings bright sun brought forth
harsh remarks from the FANS
Manager Cantillon intimated before leav-
ing for the west last night that he might
pull of trade or two before he returned.
The games in st. Louis for the next few
days will decide which of the two teams
| will carry the water bucket, for a time at
least.
The American League has nineteen bats
men past the 300 mark; the National
League has twelve.
The fighting spirit of the Detroit Tigers
is one of the bright spots in the Ameri-
can League.
Pink Hawley, formerly with the Pitts
burg and Cincinnati teams, is managing the
La Crosse, Wis, team.
"Silk'' O'Loughlin is the biggest card in
base ball outside the players. The Roch-
ester citizen is outdoing himself this sea-
son.
Clarke Of Cleveland, Hoffman of New
York and Jones of Chicago are having
fine race for the batting honors in the
American League.
Turner. the great shortstop of the Cleve-
land club, is close to the bottom among
the American League batsmen.
1.-The season is young" says George Stone
of the st. Louis Americans, "and before
the year is out viii be leading the league
In batting"
Unofficial averages place Tommy Leach
at the head Of the National League bats
men, with an average Of AT. Mitchell
and Mason are the only Reds In the 800
class.
Hughey Jennings has a double barreled
batting order. Instead Of working up to
single climax with his best batters, he
has made two divisions of his sluggers It
has worked well SO far.
The Brooklyn club of the new Atlantic
League, which has been dubbed the out
laws, has q Cuban battery, Molina and
Palomino. The latter is a left-handed twiri-
er. There also are two other Cuban pitch
ers with the team.
Comiskey had arranged to take Ed Walsh,
to the best doctor In Chicago to see what
could be done for the pitchers strained
neck muscles. but yesterday the big twirier
said he would run over to the 39th street
grounds for morning practice"
Manager Ed Hanlon says that he will
give his seasons salary Of $4,000 to his
Cincinnati team If they win the champion
championship this year" Make it next
year, and the boys will make a better start
Carl Druhot is booked for release by the
st. Louis club. The little fellows pitching
arm has weakened, and the chances are that
he will turn to outfield work.
Lajoie's Maps are doing a good deal too
much sacrificing, according to the Cleveland
fans. The bleachers bank more on hitting
'em out" than they do on dumping them in
front of the plate.
A fan asked Manager McGraw the other
day II he knew the answer to the base ball
problem: How can team make six hits
in an inning and yet not score rum"
Muggsy said he didn't know, but that II q
team OF his did anything like that he'd fire
the whole gang.
It is q singular coincidence that the Bos-
ton team has beaten Brooklyn In every
game so far. and that the Superbas have
won their only game from New York. while
New York has trounced Boston each time
the two teams have met.
The Jake stahl case, over which the
national commission busted itself, seems to
be another case of butting In by that body.
Stahi belonged to the Washington club and
to that club should have been left the dIspo-
elton of the matter. But for the interposi-
ton Of the commission 1t Is more than likely
that Stahl would be q member of the Bos-
ton club by this time. Now Unglaub Is do
ing 50 well that Stahl Is not needed, and
the demand for Stahl Is not
will make the price for Stahl a proper one
IL the Washington club does not. No won
der the officers of the club howl.-Boston
