The New York National league
baseball office has been shrouded in
mystery so far as the alleged pur-
chases OF Pitcher Marquard. OF In
dianapolis. and Catcher Meyers, of
st. Paul. for $4,000 is concerned.
Secretary Fred Knowles would Meth
er affirm nor deny the story. while
John j. McGraw was equally reticent.
Knowles was not a bit backward in
saying that the Giants were out for
ftrst-class pitcher or two at any
price. but when it came to the Mar
guard case he baked on making any
statement.

the Washington P. Q. NJ. team,
Manager Camel is playing a grand
game on first base for the Cincinnati
Reds He does not hesitate to slide
into the bag at the risk of being spik-
ed, when It is necessary to beat out
fast runner.
Willis HUMPHREYS, the star base
bali twirler of the Scottdale team
has been purchased for Chartered.
HUMPHREYS has been pitching splen-
did BALI but with the poor back
Ing he has received has been unable
to win consistently. This VIII again
place the famous HUMPHREYS brothers
together.
There are more 800 batters in
the Tri-state league just now than In
either the National or American
leagues. Whether the pitchers in
the Tri-State league are very weak
or the batters are very good Is a
question which is very hard to Sn-
swer.
=
When things go wrong with a
baseball team, you can depend upon
the manager, no matter who he may
be. to find some excuse for the down
fall. The Chicago Cubs are out of
first place now, and "Husk" Chance
is making excuses. At first he said
he didn't care. because his Cubs
would regain the lead just about
whenever they saw fit. Now he has
changed his tune and ibslamlng 1t
on the unpires.
The report that Pitcher Rice. the
Whitewater township boy who join
ed the Cincinnati Reds, is to be
chased right back % the minors, is
denied by President Hermann, of the
Reds ''We have not asked waivers
on Rice" said Mr.. Hermann, nor
do We intend to for a while at least.
Rice showed up nicely in his warm
ing up, and it is possible that We may
use him during the next few days"
