CROPS WHlRL FOOLS FEM.

Heine Groh's stand at the plate Is the most peculiar of any man in base ball. The other big leaguers, when at bat, face either toward first or third base. according to whether they are left or right handed hitters. They watch the pitcher with one eye - the optic nearest the twirler.
 But the Red Sox third baseman, in taking his position, stands squarely facing the pitcher. His back - the whole of it - Is toward the grand stand. Heine stands that way until the pitcher has completed his wind up. Then, as the arm swings, Heine, who is a right handed sticker, wheels into the same position that the other batters assume at the start.
 Heine swings around at the same moment that the pitcher is about to let loose the ball, and the sudden "dervish" of the Redleg is disconcert- ing to the bulk of pitchers.

SPORTS Gossip About Events of National Importance and the Persons Who Are In the Head
 Liner Classes.

With protests the order of the day, Ed. Barrow, president of the Interna- tional league, has been handed a fancy one to decide.
 In a game in which Providence was playing Toronto. Aragon tripled, driy- ing another runner home from third base. Powell, the centre fielder, threw to Shean, the second baseman, for a relay. The run had scored, but Ara gon was taking a lead off third. Shean threw to that sack. The ball hit Ara gon on the head and knocked him un- conscious.
 Right there two Toronto players started an argument by picking up their mate and carrying him to the plate. There was an easy chance for this, as the ball bounced off the play CTS head behind the stand, and out of sight of the umpires.
 Providence claims that the rule that prohibits a cOacher at third from holding or touching a player applies to the case, though these coachers were aiding rather than holding the unconscious base runner.
 There are several fine points to be decided, as no rule directly decides such a controversy. The ball was out of sight for one thing, and Barrow may rule that action was suspended and that the runner should have been sent back to third.

A 5000 TIP.
 A wild eyed, disheveled gentleman, apparently from the country, rushed into the police station, shouting he had been robbed.

 Now, let's hear all about it." said Murnane.
 "Wen, half an hour before we reached St. Paul I had $5,000 in paper that I was bringing here to put in the bank. When I got outside the depot couldn't find 1t anywhere. That money means a whole lot to me. If don't"
 Now, now. Don't get excited again." exclaimed Murnane. That train breaks up here. Maybe the DOT ter saw your money when he was cleaning up. I'll send for him."
 Did you see anything of a small package when you were cleaning up your car?" Murnane asked when the porter arrived.
 "Yes, sah. It's lot of money, sah.
 "Where is it now?"
 Here, sah," and he produced 1t from an inside pocket.
 The gentleman from the country cheered up perceptibly when he saw the roll.
 That's it." he exclaimed. And it's all here, the whole 5000"
 Now, look here, porter" said Mur nane severely. "I want to know why you didn't turn that package in the minute you found it?"
 "Why, sah," he replied in an injured tone, "I s'posed de gemman had left it for a tip."-St. Paul Pioneer Press
