STANDS FOR JOKES ON BENCH. Mike Mitchell is Always in a Good
 Natured Mood.

Mike Mitchell of the Cincinnati Reds some of the scribes who must fill space are always featuring him in team fights. Even that won't make him mad, though it doesn't please him. Honest" said Mitchell according to these reporters, I have licked nearly every man on the. Cincinnati club. Only recently they had me fighting with Bob Bescher, and the best part of it was that l whipped Bescher. Two years ago 1 got a decision over Larry Mclean in an awful battle. I have whipped several others, to hear the rumorsmiths and the knockers tell about it. But think of them crediting me with whipping Bescher and Me Lean. How such things get out don't | know. 1 am sure that any player who couldn't get along with smiling Bob and big, good natured Larry wouldn't be able to get along with his own mother. I never saw a man who would stand for more than Mclean. I have seen fellows pour a bucket of ice water on him while he would be sit ting in the clubhouse after a game, and all the big fellow would do would be to toss a shoe or something at his tormentors. Yet they spot Larry as trouble maker and a bad man. He could be bad if he wanted to, but it isn't his nature to fuss. These fights between ball players are great to read and hear about. When a fight does take place no one ever gets to hear about it"

SIX sTRIKEoUTs IN AN INNING.
Possible Without Run Being Scored.

It is possible for pitcher to be cred ited with six strikeouts in an inning in four different ways, all of them in ac- cordance with rule 51, section 6. which reads: "A batsman is out if, while first base be occupied by a base runner, the third strike be called on him by the umpire, unless two men are already out. Here's one way that answers your objections. First man up strikes out and gets to first on a passed ball. Second and third men strike out Fourth and fifth men get on the same way as the first batter, the catcher thereby filling the bases. Sixth man strikes out. You will notice that In three instances the catcher squeezed the ball hard" Heres another way: First batter strikes out, gets to first on a passed ball and is thrown out stealing second. Second batter the same. Next three men strike out and get to base on passed balls, filling the bases. Sixth man strikes oht. In each case the pitcher gets credit for six strikeouts in the inning.
