COSBY DOLAN ALMOST
 SHOT BY SOUTHERNER.
[Sporting News.l

4
 But for the, timely act of Hub Per- due during the training trip of the St. Louis Cardinals in Texas, Cosy Dolan, the Cardinal outfielder and comedian par excellence, might have been the innocent target for a Texas gunman's g bullets.
 After the athletes had finished the monday repast, several adjourned to the hotel lobby to enjoy the usual after dinner cigar. Dolan was in the midst of the group acting as choir leader while other players were en- popular ballads when the intoxicated gunman stepped up and JoIned the audience.
 who's your friend, Cosy?'' quer1ed Tommy Long, a recruit, Dolan turned about as the gunnaan placed a hand on his shoulder. 'sOh, he used to wash dishes for us,''- replied Dolans The unknown promptly took offense at Dolan's remark and vowed that he would shoot him Sdeader than a door nail if he had his trusty fgat along. 3s Then MT. Gur1man staggered out of the hotel. Perdue scented approach ing trouble and persuaded Do1an to go to his room and don his base ball uniform pre- eparatory to departing for the ball park. About IS minutes later the gunman returned and brought along a very rough looking parsonage, who kept his right hand in his pistol pocket.
 In. vain the two searched the hotel lobby for Dolan and inpIored several of the players to bring forth the fel- low whom the first gunman alleged had insulted Chirn. By the time the search ended Dolan was half way to the ball park.
 Safety first,'' was Dolan's only comment. when appraised that the gunmen had spent 9 busy half hour hunting for him.

BASEBALL GOSSIP.

If the pitching shown at Washing ton Park, Brooklyn, in the first two games of the Federal League season can be taken as a criterion for the rest of the league no wonder there are so many 300 hitters on the roster
 Predictions from the baseball ex- perts all over the country are to the effect that this year will see the greatest pennant races in both the National and American leagues that have ever been staged. Four teams in each league have a chance for the premier honors.
 The Buffalo Bisons are training at Brockton, Mass, prior to a series of exhibition games with clubs in the New England league. The Bisons will open their season with Providence
 Twenty-two bases on balls and three hit batsmen was the record of six pitchers in last Mondays Brook fed garAe against Buffalo. Some pitching is right. It. only took about three hours to finish the game
 Al Demaree, the former Giant twirler now with the Phillies, is be- coming slugger. In a game against the Providence Grays Al hit one for the circuit. Big league pitching may bring Al back to his former batting average.
 The New York State League has been increased by two former Phil lies. Elmer Jacobs, who was with the club last season, has been sent to Albany, and Eddie Mattison also a member of last years Quaker team, will play in Troy. Both are pitchers
