Unglaub has probably had more from
bic wit umpires and players on oppos-

league, due to his quarrelsome nature,
and he is not generally liked, 1t seems.
AS for the Lincoln club-there's no de-

Sporting News: The Cuban trip Of
the Giants is never mentioned any
more in McGraw's club house. There
is not man on the squad who is not
confident Of the team being the Ma

worlds series in October, which means
no transforming trips.
Rube Wadden got credit for a victory
with Minneapolis the other day, though
he pitched but two balls. On the other
hand, Larry Pape, the Red Sox hurler,
lost a game on one pitched ball. Pape
relieved another pitcher in the ninth
inning in New York early in the season
with Chase on third and the score
tie The batter hit the first ball for a
single.
The spftball was used in 1873 by
Tommy Bond, far ahead of the sime of
Elmer Stricklett and Al Orth, and was
called the glycerin ball, according to
Mike Scanlon of Washington, former
owner and manager of the New Bed
ford team. Bond carried a small bot
tie of glycerin in his hip pocket and
when he pitched the spitball he smear
ed the ends of his fingers with gly-
cerin,'' said Scanlon. The ball broke
exactly as the spitball of today"

rule it was good for but two bases and
but one run was allowed to score.
Ordinarily it would have been good for
three bases, two runs would have
scored and Marsans would have been
on third from where he could have
scored the winning run on the next
play.

is the teaching Of gentIeness and.
