HARD LUCK FOLLOWS MAPS.
Birmingham and Steen Out Of Game
Through Injuries.

CHICAGO. April 17.-More hard luck
struck the crippled Cleveland American
League team when the club physician or
dered Manager Birmingham to stay out
of the game for three weeks and sent
Pitcher Steen home with a broken finger.
Birmingham wrenched the muscles of
his right side at the local park and eN-
animation showed that the injury was
more serious than at first thought. The
middle finger of Stems pitching hand
was broken when il was struck by a
pitched ball. Lelivelt probably will play
in Birmingham's place.
Dr.. Nj. II. Castele. the Cleveland club S
physician. said that Outfielder Leibold.
in whose place Birmingham has been
playing. will return to the game in a
week. I-eibold has been in u hospital
here with water on his knee Shortstop
Chapman may return to the game late in

ALL-STAR BALL FOR EXPO.
National and American Leagues In
yited to Compete There.

NEM YORK, April 17.-All-star teams
representing the National and American
leagues will in all probability play a
series of games at the Panama-Paciiic
exposition in San Francisco next year.
The matter is in the hands of James
f. sullivan, chief Of the department of
sport. On the way to San Francisco in
the near future Mr.. Sullivan will call
upon Presidents Tener and Johnson to
put the proposition up to them.
1t has not been decided how the all
star casts will be selected. Doubtless
the national commission will be asked
to furnish some satisfactory solution to
this detail. Several methods have been
advocated; one to have the Base Ball
Writer'S Association decide; another to
put the matter up to the fans OF the
big league cities and still another to
rest the choice with exposition visitors.

For eleven years Murphy has been
