GLIMPSES FROM
THE SUB-CELLAR
Gossip From the Various
Teams in the Tri-State
Circuit

Finneran is with us again.-Harrls-
burg Patriot
Joe Knots has been playing the
best Of ball, catching all of the recent
games and hitting the ball at a fast
clip. The little fellow deserves all the
praise that is coming to him, but
wouldn't IL be about right for the
management to secure another young
catcher who can be used at times to
help Knots out and give him a rest?-
Harrisburg Patriot.
Jimmy Sebring is out practicing
each day, and hopes to be refnsaated
on August 10, when the National Com
mission meets. In case the big OUT
fielder is reinstated. he win be taken
over by the Brooklyn Club.
II was apparent yesterday that AL
Selbach will not be able TO play his
usual game for some time to come,
and by using him in left field is haz-
arding the chances Of the Harrisburg
team TO secure the Tri-State pennant
or even to keep its present standing in
the race. II seems to be up to the
officials OF the II. A. G. to order Man
ager Heckert to secure a new man to
fill left field for the remainder Of the
season and 10 use Jimmy Sebring in
the outfield starting to-day. There Is
enough true sporting blood among the
members OF the Harrisburg Athletic
Club to pay off Selbach for the re-
mainder Of the season in order to re-
tain him for the coming season.
Something should be done immediate-
ly as the pitchers are getting in bad
shape by working in the outfeld, and
Selbach, willing worker that he is,
cannot in his present condition cover
the outheld.-Harrisbur Patriot.
Pop Foster would undoubtedly have
forked over a kings ransom for that
game. IL was the ninth successive
loss for the Roses. The Lancaster fans
are clamoring for their taxa 20 break

week. Too much internal dissension.
-Williamsport News.
Shaughnessy made a hit with the
bleachers despite his ossified head
work at second base. Pity tits that
there are not more players Of the
genial good nature which characterize
Readings big left gardener. Mike
! Lynch could use a tip like this.-Wil-
Transport News.
Some nearwit on the bleachers ask
ed Shaughnessy for an account of his
experience with the Philadelphia Ath-
letics to which the big lad cheerfully
replied that he was hardly with 'esa
long enough to have any experlences.' .
and grinned broadly at his joke
against himself.
