Coni:skey is said to be sorely disap-

Rowland is said to lack base ball general

Gleason was with the Sox a few wears

Howard Shanks once more showed
that he is the most valuable utility
man in either major league. He was
shifted from first base to left field
when Mitchell succeeded Dubuc on the
mound, Griffith taking Jameson
out of the lineup and placing vii.
brilliant catches in left field which had
much to do with keeping the Tigers
from tying the score.
short time, but made perfect record
during that period. He was up once
and made a single. stole a base and
scored one of his teams two runs.
1t would be good policy on the part
of Manager Griffith to leave Jameson
in a game which a left-hander is pitch
ing, for the former Buffalo outfielder
insists that the southpaws don't bother
him. yet every time that a left-handed
pitcher appears he is taken out of the
game and a right-hander sent to his
position. That sort of thing certainly
is not encouraging to young player,
and if he has the ability to hit left
handlers he is sure to forget how If he

Manuel Cueto is not to have trial
with the Nationals. The Cuban, who is
not as old as he was said to be, wanted
to make an affidavit that he was but
twenty-five, and he did not look a bit
older.
President Stanley of the Portsmouth
team made Manager Griffith a propo-
sition that he would take $1,000 for
Cueto after a two-day trial. Griffith
accepted this proposition, but when
Stanley and Cueto arrived here yester-
day about noon there was telegram
from Manager Mathewson of the Gin
cinnati club that he would give $4,000
for Cueto. Stanley at once notified
Griffith of this offer, and Griffith in
sisted that he live up to his own
agreement, which Stanley refused to do
Griffith undoubtedly has grounds for
forcing Stanley to live up to his agree
ment. with him. but he will not take
any action.
Bert Gallia and Ed Charity are loud

means. The lineup yesterday was for
midable for any amateur game Johnny
Blair has had very little experience in
catching, but. except for throwing to
bases. his performance in the position
was very creditable. Davis is a good

These men. with good pitching, are going

Kid Roche, while not a great deal has
been said about him. is undoubtedly one
of the best infielders in the city He is
small and does not look the part Of the
clever performer. but there is no doubt of
his capabilities. Roche is exceptionally
fast on the bases hits fairly well and
fields his position very cleverly Besides
being youngster of much more than
ordinary worth, Roche is steady He plays
consistent game at all times and is Of
great value to his team Had he made
good and left the Bureau club and play
ed with Holy Name yesterday there is no
question that Bureau would have been

Todays game between Keller and
ors in section B of the post-seasor
series. The two teams are to play off
the contest of early this week. in which
both clubs scored eight runs. Treasury
now Is leading with three victories and
no defeats. while Keller is second with
two contests won and one lost. A vic
tory for Treasury will give it the un-
disputed right to contest with the win
ner of section A for the city champion
ship. If Keller takes the long end Of
the score another combat will be nee
essary to decide the right to the title.
The probability is that another pitch
ers' battle will be seen, with Tomlin
and Croson as the principal figures. In
the last game between Treasury and
Keller not run should have been
scored. though Treasury won by to 0.
Tomlin and Croson both hurled bril-
liantly. 1t is very likely that one of the
largest crowds of the season will at
tend today in anticipation of just an
other such contest as that in which
these men staged their personal strug
gle.
1t might be said right here that
Keller is showing greater strength
than was generally anticipated by the
other amateur mines. Treasury did not
expect such close battles with the Sun
day School Leaguers, and really the
Moneyhandlers can consider themselves
very lucky that they are not already
in tie and that today's contest is not
for the championship. Treasury had
to have lot of breaks in order to
score six runs in the last inning of the
first game in which the teams met as
1t went into the last inning with the
score standing to against it. Keller
has shown better pitching, more capa-
BILE fielding and a stronger offense than
was looked for by it's opponents.
Keller yesterday had things all it's
own way in the game with the Audi
tors. The score was 16 to 2. The Sun
day School team counted four times
In the second and five times in the
third inning. and then in the sixth
added five more. and in the seventh
got two. Nine errors by the Auditors
contributed largely to the scoring of
the winners. especially as these errors
were mingled with six bases on balls
and seven hits. J. Flaherty led the
winners at bat, with three safeties out
