SPORTING NOTES.

Eight times this year the Cincinnati
National team have played without an
error They may well claim the cham
pionship of errorless baseball
There is a report in circulation that Cy
Young, the veteran pitcher of the Bos-
ton National team, has been suspend
ed without pay until ready to pitch.
Shafer new recruit of the New
York Giants, who halls from Califor-
mia, is setting the old league aire with
his base running. To date he is lead
ing the spTinters of his league.
Bush, the Tigers shortstop is giving
a better exhibition of baseball this sea-
son than last. He is covering more
ground and hitting the ball in great
| style.
Tommy Quinn has been appointed
deputy state factory inspector of Penn
/ sylyania by Governor Tener. Quinn was
catcher with the old-time Pittsburg and
Brotherhood clubs when Tener was con-
| sidered a star.
Graham's poor throwing this season
has lost several games for the Philadel.
phia National team. He has been both
cred with a sore arm, but could not be
laid off, owing to the disability of catch
| ers Doom and Killifer. What Graham
needs is long rest.
| Connie Mack of the Athletics has add
ed another star college pitcher to his
| twirlng staff. His new sign-up is Rob-
ert Stevenson, who comes from the uni
versity of Minnesota with fine reputa
ton.

Athletics have made the poorest show
ing of the Eastern clubs against the in
vaders from the West.
Milan Of Washington is out for rec
ord on the bases. The star outfelder has
stolen at this early date over a quarter
of the total number he pilfered last sea
son. In twenty-four games played he
has fourteen purloined bases for a rec
ord.
Yesterday RUDE Marquard won his
seventh straight victory for the New
York Giants. The "million-dollar beau
ty," for whom Brush parted with large
sum, is about the best bet in the Ma
tional league this season. II is said
that Rube is not trying to win the
whole game himself this season by
strikeouts, but is tossing the curves up
so that his teammates will be of some
help to him.
Groom and Walker are pitching fine
game for the Senators this year And
as there is never anything wrong with
Walter johnson there can be little doubt
but that Washington, for long time
trailer in the American league is out
for all the honors coming its way
Fred Kaiser and Scotty Ingerton, for
mer Boston players, purchased by the
Indianapolis club of the American asso-
citation, accepted terms last week with
that club. Kaiser will go into the out
field, while Scotty will be used on third
base.
"Toots" Schultz. the Phillies' rescue
pitcher, has a wonderful cross-fre de-
livery, which is puzzling to the oppos-
ing batters, and he has proved him
self second Doc Crandall "Toots is
very handy with the bat and when he |
hits it is usually for two bases or
more.
