WATCHING THE SCORE BOARD

. The Giants have rolled up 20
. runs off the Cardinals in their
last two games.
II really seems a pity that when
. the lowly Boston Doves score ten
. runs, they can't win.
Joe Wood .purposely passed
4" Cobb and Crawford in the tenth
: inning, only to have Delehanty
make the winning hit. Still you
can hardly blame Wood
That man Ford can pretty near
ly win a game with bunch of G.
. A. r. men back of him.
:. Speaking Of features Of the day,
kindly pass your eye over 10 the
St. Louis Browns shut-out of the
. Senators.
An unusual feature of the
Quakers' rampage of 21 runs and
. 21 hits of Cincinnati was that
every player save Moran got two
" or more runs and hits.
Ed Reulbach will remain with
the Cubs for the present at least.
He pitched old time ball against
. Brooklyn. and it wasn't his fault
> that two runs were scored.
" Chance derricked him to avoid
any risks.
The St. Louis Browns are gem
. orally considered the biggest Joke
: in the big leagues. and yet they
have a higher percentage than
Brooklyn
" National League teams are be-
ginning to ask when the Phillies
will cease their eruption.
When Reulbach was removed
from yesterdays game he was
given a great ovation that tend
ed to compensate for the chagrin
over his enforced withdrawal.

CLEVELAND. May 16.-The resigna-

BAXTER WILL
TURN A CHICK

In order to get within the playing
limit of rs players, the Phillies will
be required to release two players. 1t
is very likely that Outfielder Mayes
and Pitcher Baxter will be the men
who will be given places on other
teams by Manager Doom. Whining
ton will most likely get Baxter, while
Mayes will probably go to Birming-
ham to take the place of Joe Mowry,
who broke his leg while sliding to

"Pigs is pigs" That fact was
determined some time ago by bit
of fiction. But "hens is hens" is
MOVIE determined by bit of fact.
A carload of hens ives recently
sbipped over the Santa Fe from
Newton. Kan, to Los Angeles. When
tho car reached it's destination there
were a carload of hens and three
cases of eggs.
obviously here was a hard shell
RI crack Freight was paid only
upon hens, which are live stock
Eggs. in tho opinion of the check
Ing clerk, were not live stock.
Tho traffic department of rail-
road has mind for statistics, but
here was a poser. So the legal de-
nartment was called in. Was an
egg laid enroute ex post facto or a
nrIori? The only answer of the
simmer was that he paid freight on
hens and would not pay freight on
anything the hens might do
The most extraordinary thing
about the whole incident was that
the legal department could find no
way out of the scramble. Unable to
force collection they finally ruled
that the railroad company could not
levy freight charges on natural
increase enroute.
