cnduce, we nope, tDI the W IHIef sports |
club to shine this season, has gone into
the discard.
The last game Of the Masonic bowl |
ing tournament was rolled last even
ing. The bowling has improved, gen
orally speaking, since the series start
ed.
Fred Tenney, the old-time Brown
university star and later big league
first baseman and team manager, is
prospecting in the shoe business in
Lynn.
Frank IIarffipgtgp, 4 brother of
Joe Of Bellows Falls twirling fame,

| While the attendance at the Federal
/ league game yesterday in st. Louis is
mentioned prominently in the des-
patches, no mention is made of the at
tendance at the ST. Louis-Pittsburg
game in the same city
The opening game of the Federal
league at ST. Louis yesterday drew n
crowd of $4,000. Falkenberg and Rari-

1 The town of Ashland. Mass, is on
the map for three days The partici-
pants i'll the annual B. A. A. Marathon
run Monday. As we view it from the
office windows we prefer rubber boots
and fur overcoat to running shoes
and sawed-off pajamas.
When such fellows as Chance and
Kid Gleason forget to read the rules
things begin to look queer Both have
bowed already on the rule concern
ing the conduct of thirdbase coaches
There will be many, many breaks made
this season because of the amendment
to rule SO.
There is not single major league
manager who does not consider him
self, with his hands and feet tied per
fectly capable of licking the weather
man. But are not the weather condi
tions more or less similar every sprin2
and is it not a sufficient argument fol
the shortening of the season?
Any intimation that the sporting edi
tor is welehing on anything his type
writer may have written without hi

ing is denied. He 5 in very poor finan
cial condition, which would necessitat
his negotiating win or going to iai

q ready.
Manager Birmingham of the Cleve
j land team, crippled badly by Fed raid
before the season opened, is out of tn

\ hour to throw John Mclaughlin, tn
Irish wrestler, twice at catch-as-catcf

Z capable of putting up a very clever e,
= hibition and Morris, who was seen hel
= in the first exhibition, made man
friends by his clever showing.
9 Eddie Foster is of the opinion tn;
John Henry will prove one of the be
| hitters on the Washington team tn
year. He argues that Henry has unde
i +gone a change of style III batting whic
is sure to make him a most formidab
. Imam at the bat. That Henry is hittir
Ebettcr now than he has ever before
shown by the scores of the games
which he has played. He is taking
much better swing than previously, Al
X is meeting the ball most effectively.
