Genest, the Pittsfield baseball player,
who has been confined to the Holyoke
hospital for some time, is expected to
be discharged in few days,
The Red Sox are not to have the snap
in trimming the Highlanders in the
coming series that they have had all
season. New York is travelling at q
fast clip.
Jesse Bnrkett is an awful wrangler at
times and is said to be well yersed in
the boxing art. He is now due for a
vacation as the result of differences in
a recent game with Umpire KERN. Ker-
in retliated Burkett's insolensce with a
crack on the beak. They say Jack Ker-
in is peaceful individually, but is also
some scrapper.
1t is now nigh time for Connie Mack
to throw up the sponge if he has not.
All season the Athletic manager has
been claiming that his aggregation
would soon round into shape and mer.
rily pass the leaders never TO be ousted.
According to him then his club has
never been in good condition. Prob
ably Macks team was sufficiently strong,
but he has been compelled to bow in
reverence to a better qualified team TO
annex the rag.
The Lawrence club are now back in
the lead in the New England league.
Collins sure has something on the
Athletics. Since he started in the mid
die Of the summer he has slipped over
three wins and no defeats. He will
be very likely sent against them in
other games before the year is over
The Baltimore club of the Interna-
tional league should make things very
for the other clubs in the In
ternational league as they have Briscoe,
Lord and Derrick with them. The
Orioles home is apparently a strong
stamping ground for discarded Athletics.
Lord and Derrick are men of calibre
that stands high in the estimation of
the Maryland people.
Doc Miller, who batted phenomenally
last season with the Boston Nationals,
has commenced to hit in his new berth.
At Philadelphia he has not been batting
at the rate he maintained at Boston,
but of late he pulled himself togeth-
err.
Red Held is probably the best UNI.
pire that the Connecticut league has
had for years in running the game. He
insists on keeping the players where
they belong and is prompt in crimping
all unnecessary talk. But at that he
is most good natured.
The Maps are not at all proud of the
fact that they were the first club TO
fall to Collegean Davis curves. Davis
IS good pitcher and has twirled excel
lent ball without winning until he
smashed the Maps this week
There is a complaint issuing from
the western coast that the time has
now arrived to stop the draining OF
those leagues of its best players yearly.
II is the intent to keep these players in
their own territory.
The curtains for thirteen leagues will
be dropped on the final acts on Labor
lay. The Pacific Coast league will be
he last to quit playing.
Lynch, of the Sioux City team, of |
he Western league, is leading the hit

society leagues before long.
