New York had three batsmen whs made the welkin ring with their ter- rife batting from 1886 until 1890. The names of Roger Connor, Jim O'Rourlxe and Mike Herman were feared by all hurlers. Less than a dozen seasons ago Mike Donlin, Mertes and Browne were the slugging triplets.
 Honus Wagner, Clarke and Leach were the cleanup crew for Pittsburgh for several seasons, with Beaumont helping out.
 In the American league teams hav- ing a battery of heavy artillerists are scarce. The great trio of sluggers who carried the men of Mack on to many victories are scattered. Collins, Baker and McInnis were a much feared com bination, and hurlers had good reason to quake when facing them. For four seasons this bunch led all the slug ging trios in the American, but the De- troit three have held the honor in five different years, Crawford and Cobb always forming the main offensive force. Lajoie and Flick of the Cleve- lands. with third party. were big force in winning many games for their team.

MANY CARS STALLED.

Conditions at the corner of Main and Myrtle street are very bad at present due to the work of the new north end trolley line.

Officer James McCabe. who has been desig- hated as traffic officer at the place is one of the busiest men in the city, as- sist1ng the chauffeurs who get into trouble.

The Red Sox also boast of a wonder full trio in Speaker, Lewis and Hoop CT. These three great outfelders and batters have also been going like house af1re and have helped in every way to put Bill Carrigan's team right in line for the old bunting. Many ex- perts place the Sox trio ahead of the Hughey Jennings set, but Old Man Dope figures the Detroit bunch much superior-that is, taking in all depart ments together-to those who wear Boston on their shirts. Crawford, Cobb and Yeach are a wonderful trio.
