While Pittsburgh fans generally and generously acknowledge the class em- bodied in the Giants they still foster a hope of a pennant.

 Manager Wolverton is going to try another form of lineup on the Yankees in the hope of putting the club in a winning streak. The good material composing the Highlanders seems to be improperly placed on the diamond.

 The Senators are seriously bidding for a first division position, and if they could only sidestep the White Sox might be able to get it.
 McInnis of the Athletics is leading the American League in batting, with an average of .421.
 Vean Gregg, the Maps left handler who started out as something of a sensation last season. has shown poor form so far this year.
 [ Chief Meyers batting slump, which now has him down to less than 450 is not due to inability to see the ball, but a failure of pitchers to put it where it can be hit.

LICK INalI1u WHO dt .OuS time was a member of the Bridgeport club and who last season held the in- dicator in the Connecticut league is making good as an arbiter in the In- ternational league. He has been working for the past week and is getting by in fine style. Nallin: was anxious to advance in the profession and asked Manager McCann and Jim O'Rourke to help him secure a job in the International league, knowing they were friends of President Barrow of that organization. They recommend ed him to President Barrow and Nal lin was named as a substitute. He is given a good salary and Is required to be ready to work, when one of the eight regulars. is sick or happens 70 ter yesterday and was praised by the papers. Nallin is the second official the Connecticut league has sent to the International in two years. Bob Hart was taken from this circuit in 1910 and did so we'll in the Inter national that the American league gra bbed him.
 Manager McCann has released Catcher Brewer and Pitcher Becker, the Washington hoys, who came here for tryout. Brewer would have stayed but for the fact that McCann had a chance to get Russell. Becker didn't show enough to warrant keep ing him. Shorty Norris put up such good game in New Haven yesterday that he will get further trial. He delivered two. hits against the New Haven pitchers and looked strong in all departments. Dick Tuckey will be kept because the management thinks he has the makings of a pitcher.
  | Harry Quinn. Ed. Builen and Mike Kelly sat in the front row of the stand at Savin Rock yesterday and Harry, was bedding the. chin goods at bargain counter prices. He de- clared his Nugget cigars have 8 large sale in New Haven but denied he sat behind the wire netting so his victims couldn't get at him. The fattest sales man in the league also declares he is doing some quiet plugging for Fritz Musante. Harry is on the Elks' base ball committee and he objected when some of the boys wanted to farm Fritz out to Stepney. Depot, Fritz always. does something in the game" said Harry. He never does anything anyway. You gotta keep Fritz on the team"
 President O'Rourke saw the Bridge port-New Haven game. He was much pleased with Anna Held,s umpiring. The red haired gent did well and he wasn't quite so chesty as last Satur- day. The players didn't argue much, either. A little compromise on both sides helped matters.
