His First Base Play Still Character.
lied by Weird Heaves.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. May 6.-Claude
Roseman is beginning to have the same
trouble with the Columbus team of the
American Association that put him off
the Detroit team and eventually out OF
the American League. Rossman started
the season in the Columbus outfield. On
throws to the plate lie soon proved to
be very erratic, so he was put at first
base There the going is not much bet
ter for him, because the opposing teams
have found out that he throws across
the diamond with considerable difficulty
and is apt to lose runners racing from
second 10 third. Added to this is the
fact that the former Tiger has not been
hitting consistently, and the indications
are that Rossman Will not stay very long
in the American Association.
Another former American Lacquer who
has found the pace too hot in the asso-
citation is Catcher Howard Wakefield. with
the Maps two years ago. Wakefield
passed on to Indianapolis from the To-
ledo club which discovered that Wake
fields arm was giving out. The catcher
is still seeking treatment for the weak
Finger but Charley Carr has just told
him to look for another job. Before
Wakefield looks further for diamond
engagement he will consult a st. Louis
specialist for his arm trouble.

Put Out and Error Given
PLAYER on Peculiar Play

NEW YORK. May "A very
peculiar play. perhaps the first of
its kind ever seen in the big
leagues, and certainly the first in
which a New York team figured.
happened in the third inning of
yesterdays game at the Polo
Grounds. This was the inning in
which the Phillies scored six runs
off Raymond.
Magee, Bransfield and Knabe
were on the bases, with one out.
DoOlin. the Quaker shortstop. hit
a little fly, which Larry Doyle
fielded just at the edge of the
grass behind his position. OF
course, it was an infield fly, and
Doolin was called out. All the
Philadelphia runners held their
bases until they saw Doyle muff
the ball. The ball rolled away
from the second baseman, so that
Magee was able to score and
Bransfield to take third. Doyle
recovered the ball in plenty of
time to head off Knabe at second.
But Fletcher evidently figured it
was a force play and failed to tag
Knabe as he slid to the bag. Doyle,
of course, had to be credited with
a put out. but he also got an error
on the same play for allowing the
base runner to advance. Doolin
was not credited with time at
bat. His fly scored a runner and
must be credited sacrifice.

The Trust Company has been consider
ably strengthened this season. and it is
the intention of the boys to make a
strong bid for first honors. The team S
management made ten strike when 1T
landed the two Mayne boys, who are
putting up a good game, both IN the
field and at the bat. c. Mayne is some
catcher and when it comes to pegging
the bases there are few receivers in the
league who are in his class. A good
throwing catcher is always a welcome
acquisition to a league. for it does away
with numerous stolen bases. which often
make q game salty. 1t is safe bet the
bases will not be run at random on this
lad.
