BASE BALL NOTES.

Manager Cantillon is on the right
track at last Factions in a ball club
are worse than the smallpox.
Wise Connie Mack lost little time
grabbing Ganley. as the fox knows a
ball player as quick as his eyes alght
on one.
Young for the Nationals but it is hoped
they will be able to take the old boys
measure today.
Maybe the Washington "fans" won't
watch the bulletin boards this evening
with interest. A cleanup in Cleveland
and everything will be forgiven.
Charley Abbey. the old-time ball play
er, is one of the wise boys to indorse
Cantillon's trade. Charley says Donohue
is worth a dozen Burnses and that he
will prove 1t before he is here a month.
Manager Joe registered his one big
mistake in not letting Burns and Ganley
out last fall. but he thought he could
patch up the differences and all would be
we'll He now realizes his mistake.
Carrigan and Moriarity, the Boston and
Detroit players who mixed it up a bit
Sunday and We're suspended, were rein

with it.
1t is terrible to tell it. but Jimmy Sc
bring has been pretty much of a frost up
to date-and after all the trouble it took
to get him reinstated.
Pretty tough to have fight at the
Sunday game in Detroit. where Sunday
ball is just hanging on by it's teeth, any
how. That riot of Sunday may kill the
Sabbath battles for the future.
man named Burchell discovered a
new zebra. Monday the Tigers found
pitcher named BurcheU and made a
zebra out of him.
Base-stealing is big factor in the win
ming of games. The Boston Reds have
stolen thirty up to date. while Cleveland
and ST. Louis have six each.
iris Speaker leads the American League
in long hits. with six doubles, three triples
and home run, fifteen extra bases.
The time is at hand when young play
ers get the hook in large numbers from
the big league managers. and most of the
juvenile recruits are wondering how soon
the AK will fall.
"Jiggs'' Donohue goes to Washington.
Several teams higher up i'm the race
would have paid well for the clever first
baseman. but Comiskev didn't care to
strengthen the leaders.-Boston Globe.
Griffin has great collection of infield-
ers Like Stallings. he is at his wits end
to arrange them so as to get profitable re-
suits.
VIII Murray keep Covaleski on his pay
roll just because he can beat the Giants
whenever he meets them. Every other
team can beat the Pole TO fraZzle.
An odd thing about the fight which
came off the other day between Frank
Roth and Umpire Cusack is that both of
them live i'm Chicago and are great
friends during the winter time.
Somebody said Klian of the Tigers
had completely useless arm and was
to go back to the minors. 1t will be no.

up and won game from Boston.
Chance put Archer in to backstop
against the Quakers Monday, and the
wonderful thrower from the Eastern
League caught three men stealing After
that they didn't try any more plundering

straight for them in Cleveland and four

the White Sox for the third successive
time and won four straight in Comiskey's
