Perrine is to go to Louisville next season
| and Brashear will go to Kansas City.
The veteran Jimmy Ryan has signed to

| AS an old philosopher said: at takes
| phenomenal youngster to make good off
| the reel in the American League"
Grant of Philadelphia has turned out to
be the weakest kind of a batsman. The boy
| was all to the good with Jersey City last
| year, but has no eye for the ball this year
Coughlin made stops that twice cut off

| Johnson has his way. B. 3. J. thinks that
| a player who has been promised extra re-
| enumeration for playing up to his speed
should be in some other organization.
| Some one has suggested a series between
| the st. Louis Nationals and Washington
| Americans at the end of the season. AS
| both have had much experience playing at

| Tigers would win easily. This is the way 1t

| Tigers 80; Athletics. 10. Team work-Tig-
ers. 05: Athletics. 50. This would put the
