BITS OF BASEBALL.

1nfielder Charley Wagner, Of the Red
Sox, who had his finger split in Sunday s
game, will be out Of 1t for a week at
for the short fellow.
The Reds may sign Pitcher Martin ].
McHale. Of the Boston Americans. The
Red Sox have asked for waivers on him,
its Western trip.
The White Sox and Red Sox may play
ent series, as they had two games post
poned during Boston's journey to Chi
cago last May.
Malachi Kittredge. manager of the Sag
inaw team Of the Southern Michigan
League, was indefinitely suspended the
other day for using profane language on
the field.
During the past year the Phillies have
acquired from the Reds the following
players: Lobert, Paskert, Beebe, Rowan.
Beck, Bill Burns, and old Bob Ewing.
Rather a nifty bunch of tOssers, consid-
erIng that little was given in. exchange
for them.
James Brady, who was with Pittsburg
in 1890 and later with Chicago Nationals,
and who managed Schnectady, n. Y, and
other teams in later years, was signed
yesterday as bench manager for Lincoln
in the Illinois Missouri League, succeed
ing James Saillard, resigned, but who
will remain as player. Brady is the man
who discovered Rube WaddeIl
Wagner is the first National League
player to reach the century mark in hits.
He slammed out four Wednesday. bring
ing his total up to 101.
Sherwood Magee didn't get more than
he deserved from President Lynch. Ball
players should learn to keep their heads
at all times.
Columbia is the gem OF the ocean and
also the gem of the South Atlantic
League. for it has lost cnly one game
this season.
President Lynch may possibly feel
some guilt over the matter because lie
failed to hand Umpire KLEIN any severer
punishment than a light fine when he
smashed Roger Bresnahan on the field
at Cincinpati. The league needed Klein
badly at that time, so Mr.. Lynch de-
cided, for the good of the National
League to keep him in commission and
let him down with a light fine.
The Pirates still have Mathewson and
Marquard to reckon with, although they
beat Matty the last time in Gotham.
Hargrove, the young catcher reported
bought by the Pirates, is only eighteen
years old. He is hitting 300.
Warren Gill, the former Pirate first
baseman. now with Minneapolis, was
married the other day.
Harry steinfeldt will not be able to
play for another three weeks, as his
splint finger is in splints.
The Cardinals have been reinforced By
Pitcher McAdams, a new recruit joining
them.
Patsy Flaherty does not like playing
the outfield for the Boston Nationals
and has asked President Russell for his
unconditional release. Patsy wants to
manage some minor league club.
Those Giants are playing about the
same class of ball as the Reds. They
have dropped seven out Of their last
ten games.
We have a suspicion that the Pirates
are going to have a little more success
on this trip than they did on the initial
cne in May.
After all it's base hits that play the
most important part in a game. The
Pirates have cracked out fifty-nine in
the five games so far in the East, an
average Of nearly twelve per game.
II Magee had assaulted Finneran In
the American League. he would just
ebout have played his last game in that
organization.
Manager Dobbs, of the Montgomery
ball team, has released Pitcher Ralph
Savidge, in order to make room for Jes-
sic Tannehill the old-time National
Lacquer.
AS a trial horse for new white hopes"
Finneran was an "also ran" VIII c.
Morris please write? He may hear
to his interest.
In the American League, where the
owners have a pleasing way Of backing
up President johnson in anything he
does, there hasn't been an umpire killed
This season. Interesting. but dull.
Even q railroad wreck can't stop those
