SPORTING NOTES.

Jack Halstein, who has played first
base for the university of Vermont team
for the past two years, left yesterday
for Chicago, where he will join the
White Sox and will probably be given an
opportunity right away to show his
mettle. At present the regular first
baseman is laid up and Fourier is COW
ering the bag.
Hub" Perdue, at the start of the Ma
tional league pennant race was looked
upon as one of the best pitchers in the
league, while he was winning the first
four consecutive games. He then slumped,
losing five in row. Tuesday he pulled
himself together and with great difficulty
won his own game in the ninth with
a triple.
Martin. the Tufts pitcher, who has
been with the Athletics since he finished
college a year ago has been signed up
with the Baltimore International league
team.
Schultz, the home run king of last
year, has evidently resigned his crown
to his teammate, Zimmerman. Zim is
setting an awful pace, but Meyers, the
Giant catcher, is hot at his heels with
the big clouts.
Charles Rice, the Powder Point sprint
err, is clever Splinter. Saturday in
the finals of the 200-metre sprint he was
taken with stitch in his side, and while
he qualified for the finals it was evident
to the spectators that he was distressed.
In the l00-metre race, three times he
ran against Ralph Craig. That was
test for any school boy. At Sweden Rice
should gain great experience.
The alumni of the university of Penn
sylvania are around with a subscription,
with which they intend to defray the
expenses of some of the Penn athletes
to Sweden who were unable to make
good in the try-outs.
Coombs, Bender, Plank and Morgan,
Connie Mack's best array of slabsters,
are rounding into shape and inside of
few weeks will be at their best. On
the present western trip the Athletics
have won the majority OF the games
and intend to rise soon to the position
they held last year at the close of the
race.
For the standing of the Tigers this
year, Hughie Jennings maintains that
the showing of the club has been made
BY Dubuc, Mullin and Willett, on whom
he is to rely this season.
A Fall River boy will captain the
Harvard track team next year. John
Brennan Cummings is the man to have
,harge. Cummings is the best hurdler in
college and has won his letter for the
past two years.
Rochester in the international league
S having as easy a time in the pennant
-ace as they had last year in the Eastern
eague. Jersey City is their nearest com
and they fall about 100 points
behind.
Again yesterday Detroit was unable to
top the Washington attack. The Sena-
ors have now won Is games in a row.
BY the time they reach Washington, |
he club should be bat few numbers |
,ack of the leaders. What a reception |
hey win receive, as it is the first time in
ears that Capital baseball team has |
'een favored so greatly with success!
During the undefeated line of victories /
he Washington club is making there is
ne player that deserves much credit, /
M lldI Is EDSles tne lb-NedT-Oiu piICn- |
r, who has assisted in the winning of
wo games. This lad is inexperienced
nd before the season is over he should
e heard from.
Babeock, the wonderful all-around Co
umbia college athlete, has been picked
or the Olympic team. His New YORK
blowers think he is Just the man that
rill come back and boost the record for
he pole vault, unless he falls away off
DIOR
Jake" Stahl's team has won the last
We games and needs but one more out
( those remaining to make an even
rcak on the western trip.
This season there seems to be a good
ace for the pennant in the New Eng
Ind league. Now Brockton is leading.
nd there are few more points than
undred separating the first FIVE clubs.
ne of the best twirlers on the Brock
IN staff is Brignolis, the Cambridge
ian that the Italian Athletic club were |
eciding upon to give a try-out this
pring.
