LEAGUE RACE LOOKS
TO Be CLOSE THIS SEASON
Special Parking Space for Automobiles at New
feld-Worcester Here Tomorrow.

TO allow any more autom obiles on the
playing field. Cars will be parked
in the lot adjoining the field and the
management will provide special
policeman to guard the machines so
the motorists will feel perfectly safe.
There were SO many cars in the out
field in previous games that batsmen
were limited to two bases on long
drives, which might have been good
for home runs or at least triples.
The series between the American
association and International league
seems to be very much in the air at
present. Some of the tmid magnates
are afraid to go through with the SER
les because they fear the attendance
won't amount to much this year.
There have been so few good base
ball days this season that it is too
early to judge whether the game will
have a prosperous year. At any rate
it seems as if the magnates ought to
wait a month or two before deciding,
to throw up the sponge.
Owner Carey and Manager Jack
O'Hara of Springfield were much
pleased with the big crowds that at
tended the Saturday and Sunday
games here. The attendance was the
best they had played to this season.
There were 1000 out Saturday and A.
900 on Sunday. It is said Springfield
received about $500 as it's share of the
two days receipts.
Jack Maggie, the former Bridgeport
backstop, caught for Portland yester-
day but did not distinguish himself
He allowed five stolen bases and made
two errors but as his club received a.
bad beating from Hartford Maggie can
use that as an alibi.
The Athletics have sent Outfielder
Thrasher back to the Southern lea
que. Thrasher was a. slugger in the
minors last year and it looked as if he
would hit well for the Mackmen. In
one of the early games he was struck
on the head by ball pitched by Carl
Mays of the Red Sox. Ever since then
he backs away when he goes to the
plate. A year in the minors may re-
store his confidence.
They. are talking of having 40
round battles in Baltimore and some
hardy adventurer suggested Freddie
Welsh and Johnny Kilbane for the
long route. Freddie could probably
dance 40 rounds with the same part
ner but the spectators might have
to leave calls to be awakened at sum
rise.

BIGLEAGUE BITS

One of the starriest of the star
performers in the major leagues this,
season is George Sisler. He's hit
ting the ball all over the lot and
making the in and out field hustle to
head him off. And when it comes
to work on the bases, George is GER.
tainly entitled to the Brown Derby
Maybe some day Everett Bankston
will return to the major leagues. He's
been doing fairly well since Manager
Roger Bresnahan of the Toledo club
returned him to the Yankees, who in
turn, shipped him back to the Rich
mond team. The outielder was
one of the stars of that team last
season and Manager. Billy Smith will
no doubt be glad to have him back
in the fold.
Gentlemen. meet Joe Judge, the
boy wonder from New York His
work on first base for Washington
will yet make some of the members
of the national legislature forget that
there is serious business to be attend
ed to. Joe is performing quite few
tricks with the stick these days and
his fielding is also doing nicely
The Giants deserve the place they
have made for themselves in the
standing of the clubs. They have
batted harder than any other, club
in the major leagues and lead the
National circuit with a mark of 205,
while the Red Sox lead the Ameri-
can league with 1858.
When the game is called on ac-
count of rain, be happy Doesn't it
make a fine. afternoon to play pin
ochle?
The White Sox are going pretty
we'll these days. It seems that their
clean sweep of the Tigers braced
them considerably. It is curious
fact that the Chicagoans have found
their greatest difficulty in winning
games from the Detroit players, par
ticularly when the latter were on
their home grounds. It made the
Chicago fans wild with joy two weeks
ago to hear that their team had
cleaned up in that city, particularly
as it was their first visit. White
Sox fans have charged that the weak
ness of their club against the Tigers
has cost Rowland two penpants.
