BASEBALL BRIEFS.

Faint hopes are arising in the New
York breast that Rube Marquard Is
on the verge of Showing"
Bresnahan figures that Ed Konet-
chy, the sticking first baseman, is
worth about five average players.
Joe O'Rourke is playing great ball
with Lynn now. In recent games he
has featured wit hthe stick, besides
fielding in sensational style.
Tuesdays win was the twenty-sec-
ond of the season for Bannister. 1t is
not likely that any of the pitchers
will reach this mark this season.
The New Britain team will make a
transforming trip through Massachu-
sets the week after the season closes.
There is also talk of a Cuban in
vasion, but it is likely TO fall through.
1t was Bill Donovan who stepped be-
tween the Athletics and the pennant
more than ANY other man in 1907. and
again this year. Donovan looms UP as
a big noise in the finish of the Tigers.
Jerry Downs, who couldn't field
worth a cent for Hughey Jennings, al
though the Tiger leader gave him
every chance. is burning up the ground
for Minneapolis and has been hitting
at a fast pace.
Miller of Pittsburg, who recommend
ed Flick Luyster, pitcher belonging
to the Hartford, Conn, club, to Fred
Clarke ought to know what Luyster
can do. He played with and against
him on the New Jersey lots.

lantic, though it is generally admitted
that If forthcoming races are sailed

given Ellen eleven points; Wolf nine

while for the President Taft cup JOY
ette and Ellen have each one leg.
The President Taft cup for the pres
ent series win go to teh owner of the
yacht which first wins three races or
wins the fifth race of the series. In
case the deciding race is the third, the
winner is eliminated from further
races. If the deciding race is the
fourth, theSwinner is excluded from the
fifth. Should the first four races not
have resulted in a decision, only the
winners of these four races can take
part in the fifth race. In case de-
cision be not reached in the fifth race,
owing to two yachts having won two
races, then a sixth and deciding race
shall be sailed between these two
yachts. The Governor Draper cup will
be awarded on points in the first four
races, providing that five or six races
are necessary for the winning of the

Americans.
The national body unanimously
agreed to open the case to hear the
clsins of the New York Americans.
After the evidence had been heard
Vaughn was awarded to the New
York club, with the understanding that
he is to remain with Louisville the
remainder of the present season.
The Macon club is to return to
Louisville $500 paid for Vaughn, and
Louisville is to return to Cincinnati a
like sum paid by the Cincinnati Ma
tional league team in the deal which
is declared invalid.
In the case of Player Finlayson of
Brockton, Mass, for whose purchase
an agreement was presented by Brook
Ign, the player was held subject to
draft

of the Pittsburg Nationals was heard

the services of Player Blackburn of
