ment over his form last year.
The only batter on the New York
Nationals that is hitting right is Fred
Snodgrass, who made the old league sit
up and take notice two years ago.
To catch the White Sox this year will
be harder job than to overtake the
Tigers last year for Connie Mack and
the Athletics.
Failure to hit sent Jack Flynn, the
Washington first baseman, back to st.
Paul, his native haunt. At the first of
the season the Washington scribes were
speaking his praises everywhere, and
really expected him to come back.
with Clarke working his Pirates into
their normal stride, the Pittsburg fans
are not satisfied. They are continually
limiting that Clarke himself should get
back into the game.
While not starring in his backstop
work. Erwin, the husky catcher of the
Brooklyn Nationals, has been doing the
bulk of the catching, and has been hit
ting the ball for keeps.
Connie Mack says that the Athletic
infeld win retain its present makeup
for at least five years, and il will be
that long before any of his four sterling
Young pitchers are due to slow up. If
Connie is any sort of prophet his team
will cause some excitement in 1917.
In every game in which he has caught
this year with Walter johnson pitching,
Ainsworth of the Washington baekstops
has made good. 1t has put to rout those
well.meaning but misguided fans, who
were shouting that the big twirler would
fall down this year for lack of com

SPORTING NOTES.

Manager Griffith of the Washington
club is said to be seeking the services
of Chick" Gandil. the star first sack
er of the Montreal club of the Inter
national league.
Fox" Griffith of the Senators has al
ready the services OF one of the best
pitchers in the world, one of the best
outfielders in the world, one of the best
shortstops in the world and two of the
most promising catehers. With all this
outfit it seems that he ought to land a
pennant race.
Jake" Stahl and Hugh Jennings found
that their troubles at the opening OF
the season were along the same lines
namely wobbliness in their pitching
stats.

son.
Art Griggs. the utility inielder, who
was recalled from Toledo short while
ago, is playing wonderful game at
first for the Cleveland Americans. At
the present outlook he will have first
call on the position from now on.
Jimmy Callaghan of the White Sox
credits "Kid" Gleason for the won
derful showing made by his team this
season. Gleason has always been a val
liable man with team and the re-
suits of his coaching are great. 1t is
wonder that he has not been chos-
en- manager of some big league team
before.
Catcher O'Neil of the Cleveland Amer
leans is one of the youngest players in
the major leagues. He has just passed
the twenty year mark.
Manager Wolverton of the New York
Highlanders is no joke when it comes
TO pinch hitting. Pitchers, who knew
when he was in the league before, all
say that he is a dangerous man whent
sent to bat in a pinch.
