runner in the National league. Milar
leads both leagues in this respect, Cobl
of the Tigers being his closest competi
tor, falling nearly 25 behind.
Mayforth, the Vermont catcher, seems
to be satisfied with his new berth al
Northampton. During the first part o.
the year he played wonderful ball Will
| the Brattleboros and in his last thret
weeks with the West river club he
played Indifferent ball. The change viii
undoubtedly be great benefit to the
| Springfield lad, who has a great future
His place at Brattleboro is being filled
by Smell, the Brown catcher, who is q
capable backstop, but not in the same
class as Mayforth.

player, who led the Keene club last year
is holding down a position on the WIFI
tinsville, Mass, independent team this
summer.
Kuhn, the White Sox catcher, who has
been out of the lineup for the past
few days. has returned to the game.
Killifer seems to be more than an
understudy to Charlie Doom, the Phillie
manager. Killifer has been called upon
during the past month to carry the bulk
of the backstopping. Soon Doom will
prove to be clever understudy for the
youngster killifer has a wonderful
whip, always throwing with accuracy,
and he can hit with any catcher in either
league.

the Maps is considered the best southpaw
in the business to-day, with Plank and
Collins close runners-up.
Cy Young, the father of all present
day pitchers has decided that baseball
has no further use for him as an active
pitcher, and has determined to retire
permanently. In a professional
game recently near his home town, he
was sent in and was battered in such
a convincing manner that he would not
answer the Boston call.
Harold Danzig, the giant first sacker
tried out by the Boston Americans and

club in the Southern league.

he same effect that characterized HIS
