SPORTING NOTES.

Bridgeport of the Connecticut league
has pitcher and catcher playing in the
outfeld.
Russell Ford is the only member OF
the Highlanders' pitching corps who can
boast of victory over the Red Sox
this season.
Even in the California league there
is said to be pronounced scarcity OF
big league material. John /. Taylor
when out there a few years ago, did by
no means misspend his time. He picked
the budding ones then, and is now en-
joying the fruits of his picking. Hoop
er, Hall and Lewis are trio Of his
picking.
Bonesetter Reese has certainly pro-
longed Long Tom Hughes baseball ca
reer. Some years ago Hughes was con
sidered to have outlived his usefulness,
but he went to Reese for treatment.
Ever since, he has been travelling like
race horse.
1t is reported that Mrs Helen Hath
away Britton. owner of the st. Louis
Browns. has offered to trade Roger Bres-
nahan for Rueker and Wheat of the
Dodgers. 1t is said to be the culmina-
ton OF trouble between Mrs. Britton
and Bresnahan. which has existed for
some time. In event of a trade, Miller
Higgins second haseman, will probably
be chosen to fill the managerial du
ties.
There should be no fear of Colonel
McConnells arr going back on him. In
u recent fracas his teammates did their
best through bootings to lose an ordi-
nary game, but Mcconnell frightened and
pulled out OF trying stanzas.

league society and he hopes this time
to stick around for some time He ia
