1t makes a lot of difference in a
catcher whether or not he has an
infielder covering second who can
handle throws. 1t is doubtful if there
is another shortstop in the league who
would have made plays on two balls
that Street sent to second to stop
base runners yesterday and on which
Mcbride made two marvellous plays.
The balls came to Mcbride on the
worst imaginable bounds and reached
there just about the same time as the
runner. On both occasions il was
necessary for Mcbride to grab the ball
and with the same motion dive into
the base runner TO get the decision.
There are whole lot Of great fielders
playing short, but good judges of ball
players aver that Mcbride is the great
est when it comes to touching base
runners or preventing the double steal
His throws to the plate when this play
Is attempted are absolutely perfect,
the ball coming TO the catcher not
more than foot from the ground,
where it is easy for him TO touch the
runner as he slides into the plate.
Reports on the playing of prospective
members OF the team are always inter-
esting. especially when they accomplish
what two of the local recruits did yes
terday. Moeller of Rochester, who is re-
garded a certainty TO make good here,
made five hits in a game against Provi-
dence yesterday. For of these drives
were two-baggers. This is a remarkable
record, and if the reports are true of this
youngsters speed and fielding ability.
then McAleer has. indeed. picked up a
great ball player.
Long. who is with Gadsden, also had a
good day yesterday, getting three hits,
one triple and another home run. Like
Moeller, he. too, is reported to be very
fast, so that the chances are McAleer will
have a couple of speedy running mates
for Milan next season.
While. of course, ii has not been def
nitely decided TO make any change. IT
stands 10 reason that il is going to take
a ball player of considerable ability to
take Herman Schaefer's place at first
base. Though Schaefer cannot be number
ed among the youngsters, he is still agile
and fast and at first base has played the
best ball of any first baseman Wash
ington has ever had. Schaefer has i'm
proved wonderfully since being played at
the bag regularly and he will continue to
learn the tricks of the position as the

to Schaefer should be found for first base

STATE TENNIS TITLE
WON BY M'LOUGHL|N
Californian Defeats T. R. PeII
in Singles at Crescent
Athletic Club.

NEW YORK, August 15.-Maurice Z.
Mclaughlin of California defeated T. r.
Pell the national indoor champion in the
final and championship round for the
New York state tennis title yesterday on
the courts of the Crescent Athletic Club
at Bay Ridge before a fashionable gal
lery composed mostly Of women Nc
Loughlin is the first player from the west
to have his name engraved on the chal-
lenge cup, the set figures to give him the
right being 6-1. 6|S. 60. s-6. The grand
total shows that the Californian made
twenty-six games to seventeen for Pell.
and the point score was 1873 to 121 in favor
OF the winner.
To the more critical Of the gallery the
play was not SO very sensational, but II
was great tennis in streaks that is, when
Mclaughlin cared to warm up to spell of
smashing. He was steady all the way,
and though he seemingly let slip some
chances for points he did very little wrong
during the entire match. The opinion
about Pell was that he was overstrained
and on the stale side, but that view of his
physical condition was not borne out by
his strokes. for he played with more
ginger toward the end than at any time
during the match. Quite frequently he
tried his stinging back-hand on ,..e Cali
fornian. but it made no impression, and
was nearly always met with cross
court drive, which had Pell on the jump.
Though there were some long drawn-out
rallies afterward, the battle was really
fought in the first set, where Mclaughlin
showed at his best Before the gallery
tally at 5-love He came to the net for
every slash where he saw a chance. and
he was SO accurate and full OF speed that
Pell could only get one game. Ever
afterward Pel seemed a trifie shy of
short range engagement at the net, and
he depended upon his long drive from the
region of the base line. The points for
the sets were 2S-16 4142, 27-15, 1876.

Without wanting to cast any reflection
on the work Of the Nationals since they

doubtedly played brilliantly. il Is never
theless true that of late 1t has been lucky

When the national commission takes
up the drafts September / IL will prob

players who have been previously pur-
chased. With ball players in such great
demand many Of the clubs will put in
drafts for players who they know have
been sold, just taking a chance on hav-
ing a sale found faulty. I'm which event
the draft would stand. There have been
several instances in recent years where
a club has secured a good ball player
for the draft price in this way, and it
Is weil worth taking chance for.
Though the list of purchased players by
the sixteen major league clubs will un-
doubtedly be greater this year than ever
before, ii is expected that there will be

Ii seems that Roger Bresnahan is paw
ing the way for a big fat contract with
the st. Louis club next season. Rogers
contract expires this fall. The other day
he was asked where he intended to train
next season. and he made the reply that
he was. not in any position TO speak OF
the plans of the Cardinals after this sea-
son because he did not have any assur-
ance that he would be at the head of tho
team. But there is no need for yorrY
about that Bresnahan has been a hig
success i'm St. Louis, and lie viii come
pretty near getting what he wants IN the
way of salary. 1t is questionable whether
any club in the history OF st. Louis has
ever made as much money in a single
season as have the Cardinals this year.

It has been many a day since the Ma
tionals beat both Quinn and Warhop in
, a series. This pair has been most trou-
blesome to the local batsmen in several
Years, and, while both pitched good ball
here, they were unable to win.
Becker received great support from his
infield, without which he would have had
a hard time winning. Mcbride and the
others on the inside prevented disaster
on several occasions by good plays
Becker. by the way, must be numbered
among the fairly good hitting pitchers.
In the three games he has made two
clean hits. and he reached first in the
eighth Yesterday by driving hard
grounder through Gardner He Also
scored one OF the runs.
Johnson. who batted for Warhop in the
ninth with two out and two on, hit the
first ball pitched on line to left but
fortunately 1t was foul or there might
have been trouble Then Becker began
to work on him and finally had him
three and two, when he shot a fast ball
over the outside corner which Johnson
let go by and Egan called him out on
strikes, ending the game

sistent and Its base work has been slow
Nor can much be said FOR the work Of It's
Outfield.
Earl Gardner was guilty OF a poor play
IN the fifth when he was on second and
there were two out Wolter beat out a
slow bounder to Schaefer, who threw to
Becker, covering the bag. Gardner should
have kept right on for home, but he held
third, and moment later died at the
plate on an attempted double steal. That
run would have tied the score, and might
have made a lot of difference in the re-
suit of the game.
Though Becker allowed twice as many
hits as did Warhop, he got the verdict
principally because his support was bet
ter and the locals made their hits at the
right time. The score:
