The veteran twirler, Cy Young of
the Cleveland Maps, has set a record
for others pitchers to aim at, and it
is likely that it will be a long time be-
fore any of them even equal 1t. Young,
a few days ago, pitched his 500th VIC
tory. In 21 years Of service in the
Major leagues, the great twirler has
taken such care of himself that he is
still in prime condition and probably
good for couple more seasons, al
though 1t is said he will not play
again after this year. He has two no
hit no-run games to his credit in his
long years of service and several one
hit victories fill the pages of his
achievements on the diamond.
President Barney Dreyfuss says: II
am at loss to understand how a
team that won the worlds champion
ship last year could fall of so much
in form in such a short time. The
remedy is just as far beyond me. 1t
has been suggested that we get new
stars. but If those making this sugges.
ton will supplement it with a little
information as to where these stars
are to be found or procured, I will
gladly hand them a fat bonus for
their trouble. tell you this thing is
beyond me-"

Chance to Fine Suspended Players.

Chance to Fine Suspended Players.
Since Johnny Evers of the Cubs an.
nounced that he would be good to the
umpires he has been suspended three
times for his hot talk to the handler
of the indicator. It got SO regular
with Evers that Manager Chance an
nounced that he would fine the next
member of the team who is suspended
by an umpire for back talk $1,000. The
Chicago fans are wondering If Chance
really means it, and they also wonder
whether it will make any difference
with Evers, anyway. Evers says it
will.

team as the st. Louis Maroons in
the defunct Union association engi-
neered by H. v. Lucas.
Nowadays we hear of the Boston
Red sox Of the American league and
the Boston Doves, named for their
reputed owner, George B. Dovey. The
Brooklyns are staggering under the
name Trolley Dodgers, and in Chi
cago we have the Cubs and White
Sox. The Clevelands have been nick
named the Maps because the great
Lajoie is their leader, while the De:
troits are known all over the land
as the Tigers. In St. Louis the
Browns and the Cardinals are rivals
of patronage. The Washingtons have
shaken the Senators for the Nationals
but the Cincinnatis and Pittsburgs still
stick to the Reds and Pirates. That
is the case with the Phillies and the
Athletics in Philadelphia, too.
Some of the other nicknames are
the Baltimore Orioles, the Jersey
City Skeeters. the Newark Sailors.
the Providence Clam Degers, the
Flour Citys of Rochester, the Buffalo
Bisons, the Montreal Royals, the Mil
waukee Brewers, the St. Paul Angels,
the Kansas City Blues, the New Or
leans Pelicans and others too numer.
GUS to mention.
When the last count was taken Ma.
ticnal league pitchers had struck out
1,649 batsmen and have given 1856
bases on balls. These statistics have
little comparison with the figures of
ftrike-outs and walks in the American
league. Up to the game time, there
had been 1891 of the former and but
1872 passes. Basing the ultimatum
on the old ivy frescoed assumption
that figures don't lie," Ban Johnson's
wheelers excel this season.
The race for that automobile prize
which is to go to the best batter in
either Of the big leagues is growing
hotter every day. Napoleon Lajoie
has the lead in the American league
according to the latest figures. but Ty
Cobb is close second. Lajoie on the
Maps eastern trip let down some in
his hitting and was outbatted by three
of the Boston players in the series
there, but did not lose the lead. There
is no cleaner hitter in baseball than
Lajoie and he has gained the lead by
smashing them out good and strong.
He is not what is known as clean
up" hitter like Cobb and some of the
others, but just pegs away day by day
getting his two, three and sometimes
four hits regularly.
Manager Griffith has purchased
Third Baseman Breen from the Van
.couver club of the Northwestern
league. He is said to be fine hitter
and f1rst-class fielder, and is strong
ly recommended by Joseph Sugden,
the old catcher, who has been doing
some scouting for the Reds out on
the coast. Breen will not join the
team until fall, after he gets through
out there. Downey is doing so well
at third base that he is not needed
