STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
SPORTING NOTES.

| Mike Donlin has returned again TO
right field for the Pirates. Clarke has
come TO the conclusion that Donlin is
! a more valuable man on the field than
| sitting on the bench. Eddie Mensor has
been the cause OF Donlin's layof. Men
sor broke in from the Pacific coast this
season and burned up the league with
his brilliant playing.
This should be great winter for the
Senators. They have no pennants at
tached but there should be quite a re.
lief in reading the old stove dope, which
for eleven years back has found Wash
ing struggling for death grapple for
eighth place. 1t makes pleasanter read
ing to find them conceding you a chance
to be there with the regular people.
Frank Schultz has been reinstated
and this may prove advantageous TO the
Cubs as the Pirates are now close press.
ing them for second position.
Snodgrass is now playing the best
game Of any one in the outtield on the
| New York Giants. He has been COW
ering more ground than he was ever
known to have and his throws have been
spectacular With the stick Snodgrass
has shown great improvement over his
mid-season form
Down at Lafayette college, Easton,
Pa, the slogan amongst the student

represented the institution. Benson has
been chosen to lead the eleven.
The Toronto club won the Interna-
tional league pennant race, which closed
this week. The Toronto club was hard
pressed during the greater part of the
season by the Rochester club, which was
materially weakened during the latter
part of the season by the loss of several
players to the major leagues. Toronto's
lead over the Rochester team was five
and one-half games. The other clubs
finished in the order named; Newark,
Baltimore, Buffalo, Montreal, Jersey
City and Providence.

the Pirates and the Washington Aper-
cans will be arranged

championship Norwich university polo
team have returned TO Mortified this
fall. The team is eaptained by Rich

ing the championship for Norwich last
year. All the efforts OF the coaching
system are being directed to preparation
for the annual match against the United
States Military academy at West Point
Last year Norwich found little difficulty
