Timely Observations Of Events Happening in the Sporting World
BASEBALL GOSSIP
FROM MANY CAMPS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

To all appearances the Battle Creek
team has the Southern Michigan
league pcnuant sewed up.
Sine" his return to the Detroit III
gers, Paddy Bauman has performed
like genuine biz Lacquer.
After al, il may be the only Walter
Johnson who will establish the con-
fccutivc win record for the season.
1t looks as though the Highlndcrs
have landed two real ball players in
cool; ana Williams, the Texas league
rockies.
Danny Shay, the former big Lacquer,
has been released as manager of the
Helena team, of the Union association
Pitcher "Hy" Jasper the Three-I
league star recently sold To the White
SioN by Dubuque, refuses 10 report to
The SoN
'Stoncy" McGlynn, the oN ST. Louis
HEAVIER, is pitching for the leading salt
Lake City team of the Union assocIa-
ton.
The way Jake Daubert is hitting it
would not surprise Brooklyn fans If
the Superhas' first batsmcn led the
National league in batting this season.
II took those fast travelling Pirates
Just Two days to put stop to the
continuous Victories Of Christy Math-
cyson and Ruhc Marquard.
clyde Englc. of the Red SoN. stole
three bases in one game recently. NJ
doubt the Carnagic Institute of Pitts
burgh will want those three bags to
place on exhibition.
Tommy Leach is assistant manager
Of the Cubs. When his jumps gives
Manager John the gate, "Old Tom"

phys selling platter
Slugger Joe Jackson of the Maps,
can hit in any bah yard in the coun-
try. except Philadelphia. Strange as
it may seem Joe has hit for only OS3
on the Athletics lot this season.
The American association pennant
race has the two major league strug-
giles looking like Il pair of flat tires.
Milwaukee, Louisville, Minneapolis
and Columbus are in the \. \. fight
Ia = finish.
Earl Mack, who is baseball manager
like his famous father, Connie Mack,
is likely to he selected as baseball
coach ut the University of North car
olina. Earl is managing the Raleigh
team this season.
Morsaps, of the Cincinnati Reds, is
leading the National league i'm base
stealing. and likewise leading his tenn
mat". Bob Ecschcr, who has been the
leading base stcalcr i'm the league for
several years.
The $100,000 inficld is unduubtcdly
the most potent factor i'm keeping the
Athletics ont i'm front IN the American
league p'nnant race. Manager Mack
very wisely has kept his infiold intact
from the beginning OF the season.
