Harry Heilman is proving a valu-
able man for Detroit Manager Jen-
nings has used him at first base, sec
ond base and in the outfield. No mat
ter where he places the former North.
western Lacquer he clouts the ball,
which helps win games.
The team record for bases on balls
in one game was put over May 9 of
the present year in Philadelphia, when
thirty passes were issued by the pitch
ers of the Athletics and Detroit teams.
The record given in detachments is
as follows: Bases by Athletic pitch.
ers, Majors 8; Weaver, 8; Ray, II;
bases by Detroit pitchers, Cunningham
| s; Boland g. II Ray had pitched the
entire game he might have beaten the
individual record of Bruno Haas, who
formerly pitched for the Athletics.
Haas sent eighteen to first on passes
in one game last year. ~....
r In the American Association the unn-
| pire calls base runner out on general
principles II he slides 70 first base.
Now comes a report from Texas that
| the umpires there have been instruct
ed to stop pitchers using the quick
return ball. II appears that pitcher
"sIfd one over" on a batter who was
\ taking snooze, and the umpire, be-
ing awake, called II = strike. The fans
were "mad" because the snoozer was
a pet player, 20 the president Of the
league met the emergency with "cut
out" order. Hereafter Texas players
| may take their little siesta, and when
they are ready to proceed will make
their intentions known by the usual
| sian." Truly baseball produces some
| FUNNY thinus. In Honolulu the fans
want to see the batters on their toes.
Mention has been made In papers OF
the Middle West about the excellent
pitching in ST. Joseph, No., OF Ha-
Waiian, Johnny Williams. We hope
| that Johnny can come back. =:
Anyway the New York Giants are
not pikers. They started the season
with a brave effort to beat the rec
i ord for defeats; then they came close
to tying the record for consecutive
/ wins, and now they have established
mark of losing six extra-inning con-
fiicts on their own ground IN one
season. -. . -.
The work Of christy Mathewson dur
inu the winning streak Of the New
York Giants, which took them from
the bottom 10 q point near the top,
has convinced most Of the critics that
he has enough left In his old wing to
be of great value to the clubFthrougn'
out the season. One Boston writer
went so far az TO say that u was
Mathewson's cunning that enabled the
i Giants TO sweep through the west
without being defeated. At first this
4 sounds like broad statement, but the
more one looks into the record the
more one 10 inclined to decline 70 ar
que the point. I'LL. . ~.
! Speaking of Outfelder Without, who
formerly played with Victoria, and is
now with the Boston Braves, the
Pittsburg Sun remarks that he mas
evidently learned lot while out on
the trails, and is very much lmproV'
ed outfelder. He appears to nave
shaken off the nervousness that was
his besetting sin early in the year.
It ia hard for the two crippled play
ers Maher and Bensberg, to sit In the
| grandstand and view the fray Win
out being able to lend a hand.
i The fans of Honolulu are looking at
some great baseball these days.
Will the Santa Claras give the 2ath
a real battle on the Fourth? We have

present intention. 49,.
Some of the lads who came t. scofi
at Barney Joy remained to praise
him. 49,
Take it from US, "Pinkey" Leonard
is going to beat the 25th bunch yet.
The, 'fire-cracker man" was there
} with his hair in a braid" on Satur
day. Guess the excitement OF the
: contest was too much for him. We
1 missed him Sunday.
Joys outfieIders were calico LPer
but twice TO assist him, which speaks
we'll for the brand Of fIingina u'shec
up. -~
The fannettes are certainly good
rooters. .-
