AT STOCKHOLM.

 Your Uncle Sam is pretty good At most things that he tries, And with his dash and energy He opens foreign eyes, He's doing things across the seq; You bet he iss by gum! He's struck a pace in Stockholm Where he is going some. He's got a team of Yankee boyg As it as it can be, To beat most anything except A technicality. They are the goods. they are. indess. All Timber in their joints. Just watch the way the Yankee team Is rolling up the points. The Yankees take record and The record it throws fits. They do not care how great it Is, They smash 1t all to bits The best of all the foreign teams It is their joy to meet, Just watch 'en as in Stockholm Town They get there with both feet

BREEZY NOTES CONCERNING
 LOCAL SEM|-PR0 PLAYERS


 remembered that after the St. Josephs had knocked his team out of first place in the City League, he attempt ed to disrupt the league by drawing out and playing independent. The fans at that time thought he was in right and patronized his team A lit tie later he caused dissension among his own players and baseball lovers will remember how he lost four men in one week. This season he ibosses the Semi Pro League and when he loses little coin, tries to shift the expense and blame on some one else with the result that the Semi-Pro League is a thing of the past.
 Some time ago we predicted Howie Baker would soon play professional ball. A short time afterwards Coe Brass grabbed him up and now the New York Giants have signed him. It is quite a jump and if Baker does not stick with the majors he will no doubt be placed with some Class A team.

Simmons and Stump have shown well and now Dowd looms up as first-class shortstop. These play ers are all young in major league company and need experience, but the balance of this season will be given over to getting experience rather than anything else, and the men should be fairly we'll seasoned by next spring.

Cy Miller may be traded by the
 Bridgeport club. Although no infor- ! mation could be obtained from the To-
 cal management it is reported that several clubs in the league will take
 chance on the third baseman. Man
 ager McCann thinks Venable will
 make 3, more valuable man to the club ] than Miller. The new man played
 brilliantly in Hartford and Waterbury. He hadn't played in several weeks l when he reported here, and on that account was slow and stiff. Now he is getting into his stride. He is fas- ter on the bases than Milerl and IS a quicker thinker. < He and Eley work ed double steal against Hartford that brought in a run yesterday.
