THE WORK OF .J1nd,' ROGERS.

The plaudits which Jim Rogers is
 winning are not confined alone to the Eastern press. The sporting writers throughout the country who are care full observers of the work of kids
 are unanimous in their expression that Rogers is the find of the year. The Washington correspondent of the
 Sporting Life says: t~The surprises of the early season are Rogers and Mac Auley. Rogers goes as a first base
 man, but his work at second and third
 has been of the gi1t-edged order. In four games he/has accepted 20 out of
 22 chances and made T hits, including a double, triple and home run. Mac AuIey's Throwing and hitting have
 caught the crowd. Lush, generally
 considered the strongest of the new
 men, is doing what is always irksome to young p1ayer-warming the bench. Just now all the new men look like fixtures. Rogers is 26 years of age.
