turned back to the minors. When the
question of salary arose Hey. Barney
said that the yOungSter should be glad to
get the chance to work for him.
What is regarded as remarkable
record was made by Perry. Detroit new
third baseman, in the Southern League.
He played in every game but one in
three seasons. He was in Shreveport
when he missed that one contest, and
that according to Southern League play
ers. was enough to make anybody miss
game. but he happened to partakc of
Louisiana watermelon. and was down and
out for the count on one afternoon-the
only day of rest he enjoyed in three sea-
sons.
John Evers. second baseman of the
Chicago Cubs, is hitting the ball with
more regularity this season than ever be-
fore in his major league career. He is
tagging close on the heels of Mike Donlin,
being only a few points behind the
Giants right fielder. 1t is evident that he
is after the New York slugger's scalp and
will make Donlin do some willow swing
ing to maintain his standing in the
National League batting list.
Capt Bill Abstein of Providence is
about the whole thing to that club.
He stands third i'm batting. thirteen
points behind the leader. leads the club
in the number of hits made. really leads
the club in fielding. only Eaton being
ahead of him, and to further make good,
leads the club in every other department
of the game. home runs. three-baggers.
two-baggers. stolen bases and sacrifice
hits. Abstein has been landed by Pitts
burg.
In a recent game between Newark and
Providence. the Grays pulled off a play
that took the breath away from Manager
Stallings. Mullen and Mailing got on
first and second respectively. through an
error and hit. Stanage was the next
batter for the Jersey players. He sent
liner to right field. Hoffman ran, in caught
the ball on bound and threw it to Nc
Hale, who had run to short right McHale
relayed it to Eaton, the Providence back
stop. Meanwhile Mullen and Mailing
had been tearing toward home and We're
but five feet apart, and Eaton tagged
them both.

of the eleventh. Jones went to second

of the championship series in Class B.

FODDER FOR THE FANS.

No team in either league has played
with the determination that the Chicago
White Sox has shown during the last
month.
Harrisburg loses four players. Egan and
McGilvary to Cincinnati and Krause and
Huelsman to the Philadelphia Americans.
Several other men are expected to be
drafted by class A clubs.
Reading fans were surprised when they
did not see the name of Twirler Boce

state He has done sensational work this
year for Wetzel.
The morning after the fire which de-
stroyed the Scranton grandstand and
uniforms Mitinger played in a Penn State
suit. Moran in a Rochester. kittridge in
a Boston, Madigan in Wilkesbarre and
Hardy in a Baltimore uniform.
This is black year for Frank Farrell.
Not only has he lost much money on
base ball, but his turf enterprises have
not been successful as usual.

in this city will be pleased to learn that
Manager Cantillon has sent a draft to
the national commission for him and that
he will wear a Washington uniform next
spring. Rapp is d Washington boy and
has always been a good catcher In 1906
Manager Stahl took Rapp along to Char
lottesville, but. being without reputa
ton he was allowed to go into the South
ern League. where he played with Mont
eomery for two years. Last spring Rapp
made up his mind TO quit base ball before
he would return TO Montgomery, as the
heat was TOO much for him He finally
signed up with East Liverpool of the Ohio
and Pennsylvania League, and has played
sterling ball there all summer. Manager
Phillips of the East Liverpool team traded
another player for Rapp. SO that there
was no difficulty in the way of the local
player going in o the other league under
