BITS OF BASEBALL GOSSIP

President James D. Gronninger, of
the Pawva baseball league denies the
report published In Pittsburg and
other newspapers stating that he will
manage the Scottdale team for the
remainder OF the season, says the
Morgantown Dominion.
Mordecai Brown, OF the Cubs, has
now pitched 81 consecutive innings
without a run having been scored off
him. He has pitched four straight
shut-out games: Only II hits have
been made by his opponents in that
time. His seasons record is IL VIC
tories and one defeat.
Pitcher Gladston Graney has been
sent back to Cleveland by Columbus,
and It is understood that he will be
told to keep right on going until
Portland. Ore, is reached, where
he Is said to have been planted in
exchange for an outfielder whom La
joie wants. Otto Hess goes to Co
lumbus in place OF Graney.
A Boston scribe has figured Il out
that the reason the Beaneaters do not
win more games is because they fail
to hit when hits are needed. When
you know that that Is the reason all
ball games are lost, you will per-
ceivc that for good, clear logic, this
chap has Aristotle and Plato showed
into the minors.

Clark Griffith for once is a happy
man. All worries are Off his shout
ders, and, for the first time in twenty
summers he is taking things easy.
BY the way, did you know that Grif-
fifth holds the second best pitching
record for season in the history Of
baseball2 In 1901 he won 81 games
and had n pitching percentage of
.774.
It may seem strange to some fans
that Manager Clarke put Alan Storkc
on first base for his hitting and then
sent another man to bat for him In
the ninth. 1t was all because the
Pirates were UP against left-hand-
ed pitcher. forcing Store to bat right
handed lat which he Is not nearl so
as from the other side OF
the plate.
The Browns say they fear only De-
troit in the American league PEN
nant race. They are not worried
about Cleveland at all, and they think
the White Sox are only a second rate
club. The eastern division does not
bother them In the slightest degree.
Manager McAleer believes that, II his
team can beat the Tigers. 1t will win
the American league pennant.
