and the Hustlers will entrain for
Newark. where Rochester and the
Bengals will meet in a game at
Wiedenmayer's Park tomorrow after
noon. The Tigers registered their
fifth consecutive win yesterday.

TO accomplish the task. The Bengals
hit hard but could not bunch their
hits. and il it had not been for Will

Johnny Enzmann got credit for
winning his second victory of the

and all told he had them helpless in
twelve of the thirteen innings. Getz

the Tigers, died hard yesterday.
Early in the game the Tigers got to

INTERNATIONAL NOTES

Despite the fact that the $1,000 q
month salary limit goes into effect
shortly, International League Clubs
continue to add new players to their
rosters. Buffalo obtained Pitcher
Lucien F. Gervais from the Boston
Nationals yesterday. The Baltimore
club gets Walter Capron, the former
Minnesota collegian. from the Phila-
deiyhia Nationals in deal closed
last night.
Prince Gaskell has been granted a
ten-day trial by Manager Harry
Smith of the Tigers. There is a rule
in the major leagues that a player
must be given ten days notice be-
fore his release to a minor league
club becomes effective. Otherwise
the player Is entitled to ten days
extra pay, Pitcher Belts, OF the Gin
cinnatti Reds, recently drew the blue
envelope from CINCINNATI. He got
his ten-day notice and Immediately
notified Manager Joe Tinker that he
desired another trial during those ten
days or he would quit baseball.
Belts used to sell typewriters. so he
can be Independent. There is no ten
day rule governing class "A leagues,
but Manager Harry Smith was len
lent with GaskeH.
Another phase of the salary limit
which does not appeal to managers
is the predicament 1t places a leader
in when one of his men is injured.
President James ]. Lillis saw this
point when the limit was first talked
of. His skilled legal mind detected
the flaw. which made no provision
for club hiring another player in
the event that man was injured
for an indefinite period.

HERE'S ANOTHER
CURVE COLUMBUS
j. II. Mann, Princeton 10, Said
to Be First Singer of
SIants.
THE STORY SOUNDS GOOD

Statisticians of athletics at Prince
ton University have entered claim
for j. H. Mann. '76. as the discoverer
of the art of curve pitching. Ac-
cording to baseball lore available at
Princeton, Mann was the star pitcher
of the college team known as the
Nassau nine at that time.
During the fall of 1874 Mann
pitched several games in one week,
and his peculiar delivery wore the
skin from the tip Of his fingers. In
the final contest of the week he was
obliged to play third base. Late in
the game he was forced to relieve the
pitcher in order to save the game.
Owing to the tender condition Of
his fingers, Mann was Obliged to
throw the ball with little or no
grip. He Immediately noticed that
his delivery was breaking in an odd
manner which caused opposing bat
tiers to strike out. During the winter
months he continued to experiment
and in the spring blossomed out as
a pitcher with real outcurve at his
command.

Along American Paths.

A triple play was turned loose by
the league-leading Athletics at Cleve-
land yesterday. With men on second
and third bases, Olson bounced one
off Barry's glove. The runner on
third started to score, but Coach
Steen, of the Maps, called him back,
seeing that Barry had recovered the
ball. Meanwhile the man on second
had run down to third base. There
was lively few minutes of excite
ment, in which the ball passed from
Barry to Thomas to Baker, to Houck
to Barry to Collins to Baker to Old
ring. Thus the triple play was COM
pleted, all three of the Maps being
run down on the paths. This is prob
ably the most unique triple play in
the history of the game.
Clarke Grnfith has purchased
Pitcher Mullin from the Detroit Club.
Griff has long had his eye on Mullin
and gave up $500 round silver dollars
to obtain his prize. New scenery
may mean a new lease of life for the
former Detroit star.
Chase's all-around work has i'm
proved since he was placed back at
first base by Manager Chance. Hal
had one of the Yanks' three scattered
hits off Benz at Chicago yesterday.
Sam Crawford had three hits yes
terday. Ty did not have any.
No rumors today about a trade for
Hal Chase.

Yen II Can BE Done.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE dispute
between golfers and baseball play
ers as to whether a golf ball could
be driven from the home plate at the
Polo grounds over the centre-field
bleachers was decided in the affirma-
tive yesterday.
Accompanied by Manager McGraw,
of the Giants, who had affirmed the
feat could not be accomplished,
Grantland Rice, golfer and baseball
writer, and Oswald Kirkby, widely
known amateur golfer, went out on
the field with golf equipment and
both succeeded in making the drive.
Rice put over one ball in four, and
Kirkby two in four. The golfers
drove against the wind, but the balls
carried over the top of the fence,
which is about fifty feet high at this
point by about fifteen feet.
No ball player has ever been able to
drive a pitched ball even into the
lower part of the centre-field stand,
many yards nearer the home plate.
