somethlns for Baker to Emulate.

Philadelphia Times.
 Frank Baker is rattllng good thiro basernan, but 1t Is doubtful If he ever threw out three men at the plate on one batted ball. as Jimmy Collins, one of his recent great predecessors once did. This happened In Boston In 1909. and three Cleveland players were the victims.
 Bradley was on second and Jack Mc- Carthy on first, when Dutch Gochnauer sent a short single to left. Collins got the ball and shot 1t to Catcher Far reIl ward ahead of Bradley. McCar- inv was scooting toward third at this iuncture, and Farrell threw back 10 Collins to get Jack. The toss was poor and Mccarthy tried to score.
 Jimmy proved a good retrelver, He chased the ball to. left, recovered 1t, and spun 1t home in time to get Nc Carthy. Gochnauer. who had been having a nice nap on second all this time, now started for third. and again Farrell's throw was poor. The coach; CT at third took the long chance and waved the "go home" signal to Goch.
 Johnny kept on, If going at the top speed he used to travel can be called "keeping on." Make It three, Jimmy, yelled the crowd, and Collins did He found the ball somewhere out In left field and by long and accurate throw to Farrell, retired the third and last Cleveland runner. The scorers books, after 1t was all over, looked a good deal like a page of copy that a re- porter for a Chinese newspaper might have prepared.

Cardinals Look Good.

St, Luots Post Diepatcn
 The St. Louis Cardinals, who de- parted for the West Thursday night. after being deprived of the chance to play the New York Giants In the fourth game of the series because Of rain. Nevertheless left with feeling teams on their own battlehelds and held them to an evenbreak. The kids. under the leadership of the scrappy Bresnahan, won six and lost six games while touring the East, Q record to be proud of considering all the condi- tions.
 The Cardinals will be on the road Friday and open series against the Cincinnati team on saturday. Both Cincinnati and Pittsberg have to be
 The general Impression in New York as well as in all the other Eastern cities. is that Bresnahan has the start of great baseball team. and that he is the proper man to make & winner In St. Louis. With a team weaker than the club last season, as far as actual playing strength Is concerned. Bresna- han has gone out and fought gamely against the big teams of the National League and made a showing that is most admirable to the fans and most commendable to himself.
 The team opened in the East against Brooklyn, and found the Superbas in game of the four played. In Phila- delphia they bumped into stormy weather. Only one game was played and the Phillies were the victors. But it was in Boston that the Cardinals made themselves known. They made a clean sweep of the series there. four straight. Going to New York, they opened in a most suspicious manner. beating the Giants in the first game, in spite of the fact that Christy Math- ewson was pitching for New York. The next two games were won by the Giants and the last game was post poned because of rain.
 Bresnahan himself Is responsible Tor much of the success of the Cardinals His catching and his great hitting and base running have won many games already for his boys. He keeps them all lighting in order to stand the pace he himself sets.
 Bresnahan thinks many of the St. Louis players have improved greatly since the season opened, but he hints that there will be several changes made before he begins the season of 1910. He Is already working up one or two trades that will land star In St. oLuis and he is watching for the lievly ones in the minor leagues. Roger is determined to take only such play. CTS as will it into his ideal team and refuses to consider anyone else.
