STANDING OF THE CLUBS
SPORTIN NOTES.

Ben Silver, semi-professional of ia
maica, r. l., who has been playing indie
pendent ball has been ordered to report
to the Boston Nationals at once.
Larry Mclean says that it is a tough
lob playing ball for Cincinnati since the
team began to slip. The fans have no
mercy on the players. In former years
they catered to the goats of but few
and now they ridicule all the old-time
I favorites.
Arthur Bues, the former Pacific Coast
! fence buster, who was sent to Buffalo
by McGraw to burn up the international
league, is not causing great stir. He
| is like many OF the pitchers, getting a
home run every now and then.
1t would be pleasant for the umpires
! if all the managers Of the league club
were former Indicator holders. 1t is said
that since Hank O'Day has been at the
head of affairs at Cincinnati he has not
registered single kick.
| Hank O'Day thinks that Eppa RiXie,
| the young Doom pitcher, is drawing a
| larger salary than offered to any other
pitcher ever breaking into big league
ball. AT the time his reputation was
started, scouts from several teams were
sent after the young college man. All
We're turned down, as Philadelphia had
his signature. 0'Day says that he
knows for an absolute fact that Rixie
was offered $1,000 by one and therefore
he must be drawing over that amount
| from the Quakers.
The Nashville franchise is for sale.
The management is willing to sell for
$4,000 Little Rock people are ready
with 1000.
Eddie Plank of the Athletics has a
shade the better Of the argument with
Wood for the American league leader
ship. The cross.dre man has won IT
out OF the 90 games in which he has
pitched Wood has been successful in p
out Of 20 games. Both pitchers are
twirling great ball.
Claude Rossman and Charlie Carr, a
couple of pensioners, are fighting for the
batting supremacy of the American as
ISOLATION Rube Waddell is next and
Art Butler trailing.
Meyers, the Giants catcher, says that
Mathewson is still the premier pitcher
OF either league. He is willing to use a.
rocking chair to backstop for Big Six"
because he thinks so well of the big fell
lows control.
1t is understood that McIver, the for
mer Goddard athletic star, is to enter
the university Of Vermont this fall. Me-
liver was one Of the best football, basket
ball and track men at the seminary and
should continue his good work at the
Burlington college. Mcfver can also turn
his hand to baseball. He has been the
most dependable man on the Granite
vile A. G. team this year.
Rumors have been circulated that
Bob Smith, the old Goddard and Tufts |
college pitcher, has returned to Hardwick |
and is to play with the Hardwick A. G. |
II such be the case, both the B. A. C. |
and the !, A. G. will have a thorny path |
when they meet Hardwiek.
Lester Carswel, one-time athletic star
at Spaulding high school, for some time
has been working out with the Barre
Athletic club and may be seen soon in
the lineup Of that team. Carswell would
be valuable addition to the team. He
is consistent hitter and on the bases
masters of all purloiners.
In the past few days, Larry Gardner,
the Enosburg Falls boy, has boosted his
average to over 800.
Manager Fred Clarke of the Pirates
received word that king Cole was not I
taking the best of care of himself and
straightway suspended him. Several
