New York Americans just at present
| is the same little man that played the
position with the Green Mountain A. G.
few weeks ago in this city against the
Italian A. c. While at Vermont he
had scouts continually chasing him, and
at last he decided to give up college
| baseball and enter the league ranks.
| All indications point towards his max
ing good. He is a clever fielder and a
| fine hitter
Victor Safer, the Cubs first basemen, is
yeungster. He is one of the best bat
tiers in their lineup He is a worthy
substitute in filling the place for SO long
held by manager Chance.
Baseball n Australia is booming. 1t
has now reached that stage where it is
considered with cricket for the national
sport. In all the baseball teams there is
a sprinking of cricket players.
America expects to hear from Tel
Berna, the Cornell runner, before the
Olympics are closed at Sweden. While
crossing the pond on the Finland, the
hard board blistered his feet. After sew
eral days layoff he has regained his
former self
Cree gets back into the Highlanders
lineup. The little fellow is now at his
home in Sunbury, Pa, where he is get
ting along as well as could be expected.
Jake Holstein, who was a sensation
at the university of Vermont for the
past two years, is playing wonderful
ball at first for the Lowell New England
league club, to which he was farmed
from the Cubs. He seldom fails to go
through a game without hit. He is
also fielding superbly.
: 1t is hoped that the squirt of the Cleve-
land Americans is not TO receive a great
setback by their double defeat at Wash.
ington on Tuesday. For the last few
weeks they have been steadily climbing
the ladder, and were due for place in
the first division With a readiustment
of the lineup, Davis has worked won
ders. The cid Philadelphia first base
man has an excellent array of boxmen
and husky set of backstops. He also
has a bunch of hitters not to be de-
spised. In jackson, Laioie and Griggs,
he has three batters as good as can
be found playing baseball to-day.
If the rumor bears foundation that
there is move on foot to prohibit pitch
ers from passing batsmen, it is time for
Wagner. Meyers, Heine, Zimmerman and
Iaioie to take notice.
Ragon. the young Dahlenite, has symp-
toms of developing into big league
star Although losing to New York a
short time ago, it was more through
He has the necessary speed
and curves.
1t is said that Lewis Tewanina, the |
long distance Indian runner, is to quit |
the game upon his return to America. |
The athlete has completed his course at |
Carlisle and intends to make Arizona his |
home.
BY virtue of his victory over Mar
guard, Jimmy Lavender of the Cubs will |
N the future be considered one of the |
major league stars and at all times will |
prove drawing card. He is a pitcher
IF something more than mediocre abl-
ty, but his vanquishing the great
'Rube'' will greatly boost his stock.
Capt.-elect Flaherty of the Vermont
baseball team for next year is playing
rood ball for the Brattleboro club of the
Twin State league. Occasionally he is
ent to work out on the ground. With
he stick he is strong. The Marlboro
10Y is very consistent hitter.
Pittsburg should be considered the
lard luck team this year. They have
ost more games by one-run margin
han any other team in either league.
The club has to date lost ID games by
single run. This is better than Brook
yn was able to do last year.
