BASEBALL NOTES.

Here's hoping that Jake Stahl will
be as good as new when the sur
geon gets through with him.
Sisler, the Michigan University
pitcher, is still Sizzling He held
Case to one hit and struck cut 16
batsmen, Saturday
The purchase of Rudolph of the
Torontos is one of the indications thai
the owner of the Braves is out to i'm
prove his ball club the best he kno %s
how. That always makes a hit with
the fans.
That Philadelphia crowd looks to be
about the classiest bunch in the Ma
tional League just at present. Doom
has a fine string of pitchers who are
going nicely, and he has a good all
round team also.
clark Griffith is making an effort to
lard Pitcher Joe Lake with the Sena-
tors "Grff" is anxious to get Lake
so he can use him in an emergency
his spit-ball being bothersnme for
few innings to any team.
Sporting writer's TO the westward of
us are unanimous in agreeing the
Portland baseball team is going to de
velop into one of the most likely of the
peuant chasers. 1t is certainly a fine
batting aggregation and nine times out
of 10 the heavy hitting outfit is the one
that brings home the bacon.
Unless there is decided change in
the form that Walter johnson has
been showing so far this spring, it
would not be surprising if he broke
oil fol, A.,
question just now does not appear to
be whether or not Johnson will win
his game but whether the opposing
team will be able to score.
Johnny King is too deliberate for
any use. Johnny doesn't appreciate
the fact that he has ceased to be one
of the real headliners even in Gin
cinnati. The fans, who follow the
fortunes of the Reds, ought to be in
the mood, after all these years of dis
appointment. of the fellow from Mis-
souri,, whose claim is that they have
to be shown.
+! Pitcher Engle of the Washington
team who issued 10 passes and hit "A
man. on Saturday, and who was in
against the Red Sox for seven innings,
Monday, agreed. it is said. with Clark
Griffith that he would forfeit a
months salary if he issued more than
six passes in the game. He had good
control and passed only one man, Har-
~ Hooper. in the seventh.
our respect FOR he Chicago fans
is increased by their loyal attitude
toward Frank Chance. There's a
world of room in Charley Comiskeys
White SoX plant. but here, nearly
two weeks ahead Of the once Peerles3
Leaders first return To Chicago, all
the reserved seats for Frank Chance
Day are sold. Those fellows do not
intend that the Peerless Leader
shall be a "Cheerless Leader" when
he strikes their town.
Well, good luck for the Red Sox.
This is . long trip and they will have
tackled six of the other seven clubs
before they again set foot on their
native heath, 50 to speak 1t will
be a hard trip and IL they win half
their games they'll be doing mighty
well. The club is badly crippled, in
fact, TO use the time honored express
sion, it is shot TO pieces but better
now than later. when it would mean
irretrievaole loss. They have q chance
to regain the ground they are nov
losing and to once again climb into a
commanding position.
