and twisted his knee at the same time
and again he was on the sick list In
addition to the cripples mentioned
above. Mcbride was troubled for
time with a bad leg. Murphy hurt ais
back and was in poor shape for a time,
Berger had such sore hand that he
could hardly throw a ball, and all the
pitchers had spells when their arms
were sore.
On the whole it is hard to conceive
of a more crippled team than the Isl
anders were throughout the year and
still they won the pennant because
they had the goods in them. and they
were made of the kind of stuff which
does not 'lrow how to quit because Of

Although Harry Swacina was not

out of the game twice as the result Of
injuries. and on each occasion his loss
Vas felt seriously. He had been with
the team scarcely a week when it be-

this kept him away from the field for

GREAT BALL FOR
CRIPPLED TEAM
Never a Time When Rock Is
land Team Was in Perfect
Condition.
PLAYERS SHOW NERVE
Kelley Sticks with Broken Thumb
Mclean, Eng, VOgei and Swacina
Candidates for Hospital.

The Islanders have made remark
able record this year when all things
are considered. They were crippled
from the very first of the season, there
being never a day throughout the IN
tire season when it could be truth
fully said that every man was in GOOD
shape.
Kelley started with a bfoRen thumb
and he has stuck To his, posi- -aWe'y
throughout the entire season a.d
played great game of ban despite
his injury. When Kelley came here
he gave promise of being the rca,
phenom of the league. He fielded the
ball in wonderful fashion and when
he came to bat it was even money
that the fielders had to chase the bail
to the fence. His injured thumb, how
ever. slowed him up a little in his
fielding and cut down his batting aver
age to great extent, but even at that
all are agreed that he was second 10
none of the third sackers in the
league. His throwing has been the
feature of many a game and yet his
whip suffered a little on account Of
that bum finger. Had he been in
proper shape throughout the year the
chances are ten to one that he would

over. Kelley is a brick
other Permanent CrippIcs.
Mclean is another who played
throughout the summer without being
in his best form. When Paul came
here he had just had some trouble
with his eyes which impaired his Wis
ion to some extent and which caused
him to have difficulty in Judging fly
balls for a time. He would staggc-
around under fly ball and every fan
would hold his breath fearing that
Paul was going to let it get away from
him, but he rarely failed to smother
the sphere when it came within his
reach. Although Mclean led the en-
tire league in number of stolen bases.
he was handicapped by having to run
with one leg bothering him. He sus-
tanned an injury to his left leg early
in the year in sliding to base and ne
he had to keep right on playing with
out giving the limb a chance to get
into proper condition again
Eng and VOGeI Out.
Not content with putting two Of
the men in the permanent cripple class,
Dame Fortune willed it that two other
of the Islanders be hurt so badly that
they could not play at all. The season
was not very old when Gus Eng was
put out of the game by an injury
which may affect him a little for the
remainder of his baseball days Gus
was hit on the index finger with ball
and the bone was broken and splin-
tered so badly that he had to carry the
finger in splints for long time. Then
when the bone was nicely knit again
il was found that the finger was still
too stiff to work properly and allow
him to use that valuable whip of his,

ton on the other hand as being
progressive as a senator chosen by
Hartman influence can be. Dolli-
yer Is noisily progressive, and
quietly reactfonary. Cullom is
honestly reactionary owing to his
age. Culberson is officially pro-
gressive, being a Texas democrat,
but the New York Sun indorses
him. Jos. Bailey, ditto.
In the uncertain class are some
men who may turn out to be good
progressives. Much was hoped of
Burkett, Nebraska, but he gives
symptoms of having been Aid

ways a puzzle. Sometimes he
seems like perfectly reliable old
Scandinavian and then again he
doesn't.
Elihu Root ought to be a pro-
gressive, but will probably find it
incompatible with his previous
New York environment. Charley
