ey to-day.
Cincinnati has dug up a young pitcher
named Spade.
All OF the sox's hits were in the direc-
tion of left field.
Billy Murray's PhiIlies are Just now
playing sensational ball.
There was only one base on balls. and
that came in the last inning.
Jakey Atz got the glad hand when
he went in TO bat for Altrock in the
eighth.

ton Americans purchased from Wheeling

Providence club.
William Sunday, the evangelist. who a
few years ago was q National League

appears to lecture.
If the Bandits can continue around the
top of the Union League, they should
draw well az the Union Park while the
Nationals are on the road next month.
The crowd went fairly wild over the
work of George Mcbride. If the short
stopper can continue TO field az his pres
ent clip he will be excused If he does
not get more than q safety q week.
Ed Hanlon's Baltimore team, of the
Eastern League, Is attracting more spec
tators TO the home grounds this season
than the champions drew out in their
palmy days. The Birds now lead the
Eastern League.
In the fourth, after Mcbride had sin
gled, Shipke attempted to hunt, but the
ball stayed In the air long enough for
Altrock to stab it with his gloved hand.
Mcbride thought that the pitcher had
made pickup, so continued to run. Al
trock galtzed over TO first, completing a
double play unassisted.
If present conditions continue down
South, the courts OF that section will be

mond, of the st. Louis Cardinals. Frank
De Hass Robson, owner Of the st. Louis
club. is not arxious TO part with Ray
mond, even for such tempting offer as
