Sporting GOSSIP.

Burchell Of Boston held the Detroit slug
gers to four hits.
Buck Franck certainly shows that the
radiance OF Householder has taken a load
off his mind.
New York may not be altogether on the
pig yet, not so long as Pitcher Hogg can
hold Cleveland to two hits.
Wild Bill was touched for thirteen hits
by Boston, which, being an unlucky num-
Der, gave Boston the game.
Now If Pueblo can do to Sioux City what
It did to Denver. Lincoln and Des Moines
everybody'l be happy once again.
If the mercury had gone to 100 Saturday
Sanders wouldn't have given Lincoln even
one hit. The hotter it gets the better that
boy likes 1t.
Spade, the young New Yorker whom Gin
cinnati bought from New York In a trade,
made his debut in the Pretzel City by win
ming his game.
Zimmerman may not be up to Johnny
Evers as a second baseman, but the way
he has been flogging the ball at the bat Is
a caution to behold.
The Browns and Tigers have been maxi
ing one of the fiercest races ever seen in
base ball. For three days they pulled
along neck and neck, tied.
Alonzo Stone, tired of running along with
no hits, bumped into three singles Satur-
day. The left-handed pitchers certainly do
make life a burden for Stone.
You will kindly note, too, that Walsh and
Vickcrs went the whole sixteen innings
without any aid from other pitchers; AL
trock did the same thing the day before.
The White Sox have been doing what
they, could to give the fans their money's
worth. When a team participates in two
sixteon-inning games in succession there
ought to be no kick. ..

Reulhach and Lundgren will have to

payroll. Chances are several radical
changes will be made in the box of the
worlds champions before another season
opens.
The Cubs would find It greatly to their

stiff proposition.
