Pitcher TYler OF Inc l-oWeii pd'i 'ehii''
who ooened the season by holding
Worcester TO three hits, has been rec
commended TO Manager Lake Of the Bos-
ron Nationals by one of his scouts
AS the result Of failure to sign con-
tract by April IA. Pitcher Anderson OF
the Boston Red Sox must now apply 10
the National Commission and stand
fine if he cares to get back in the game
The Central Trades Union Of st
Louis passed a resolution Sunday set
ting forth that President Tafts at
tendance at the Cieveland-St LOUIS
American League game at ST Louis
Nav 4 would be considered an aftront
to them.
The Tufts College baseball squad re-
turned tc College hill Sunday from the
most Successful trip in recent years. Four
victories in six games was the score, al
though the team was severely handl-
capped BY injuries to the backstops. Two
important games are slated for this
week Dartmouth will appear here on
F'ridav for the first time in three years,
and or Saturday Tufts will meet Har-
ward at Soldiers field for the first Time
since 1899
Eighteen errors in two successive
games by Yale is going more than
some in the line of fielding remissness.
Some remarkable pitching was done
by the Philadelphia National boXmen
last week. They shut out opponents
three days in succession, Brooklyn
once and Boston twice. The total num-
Der of hits by opponents in The three
games was nine. The pitchers We're
Moren, Moore, HUMPHREYS and McQuil-
len.
They are trying to make a serious mat
ter out of the offhard statement made
by President Lynch of the National
League, that in his opinion st. Louis
leased mp ana gave in TOO easily to Pitts
burg in one of last weeks games. 1t is
not such serious SLAP at the game
as it is at the gameness of the Bresna-
hans. There are lots of teams who give
| up easily, not because they want 10.
| but because they can't help it This
doesn't mean that the Cardinals are that
sort. Put it probably explains what Pres
| ident Lynch had in mind.
The pitchers of the New York Giants
are doing more than their fair share of
to say, not only by their pitching. but
by their hitting. Mattys home run in
Boston settled the first game won by
| New York; Wiltse drove in two runs on
Wednesday, with a crashing drive that
helped ID lot in tanning the Doves; Mar
GUARD opened the way for two runs on
Thursday with a timely tWo-bagger, ana
Crandall came to the rescue on Satuf-
day ana pulled his team out with long
drive into the left field bleachers-a hit
that spelled victory Pitchers are not
strong hitters, as a rnle, but there are
happy exceptions
The New York Tribune says: Thomas
j Lynch, president of the National
League. did wCll in warning John j.
King, the brilliant catcher of the Chi
cago Cubs, who only recently was rein
stated by the National Commission, that
he could not make n burlcsque Of the ma
tional game by appearing in vaudeville
one week for the sake of earning enough
to pay his fine Of 500. King has lost
many friends in the last TWO weeks by
PLAYING fast and loose with Charles ".
Murphy and the National Commission,
and it is high time that those in au-
thority should put an end, if possible, to
his being a press agent for his billiard
room in Kansas City at the expense of
the sport. The game can get along very
well without John j. King. Mike Donlin
and players of shat stamp.
The hardest hitting 50 far has been
done by the Cubs in the National
League and by the Bostons, Athletics
