BASEBALL NOTES

They may talk about Babe Ruth's
home-run record, but in the meantime
look out for Sam Rice of the Griffmen
to set a mark for base stealing that
has not been eQualled in several years
in the majors.
Grimes, Pfeffer, Vanguard, Galore,
Mamaux, Smith, Mitchell-there may
be another pitching staff in the Ma
tional league the equal of that, but
If so it hasn't been put together yet.
The National league season has
gone, far enough to indicate that the
Reds will get sitter opposition than
last year in winning pennant. The
Brooklyns, Pirates and Cubs are stick
ing around right persistently.
McGraw fails to show on the coach
ing lines these days, the writer's re-
mark. When the Giants hit winning
streak. then John ]. will be much in
evidence.
With batting average of 800 and
fielding for 1897, Doc Johnson of the
Cleveland Indians is showing the way
to American league first basemen.
There have been so many home runs
made this season that no more at
tentiOn is paid to them than common
base hits.
Roy Corhan is finding the ball park
at Oakland his hoodoo. When the
Seals play there Roy seems to play
poor ball. He makes few mistakes
on other fields.
Harry Daubert, cousin of the Gin
cinnatf Reds famous Jake, is playing
with the Rail-Lights, semi-pro club at
Toledo. He plays shortstop.
*#
Joe Judge of the Washington Sen
ators is good judge of pitching. He
hit in sixteen consecutive games be-
fore they broke his string.
Pitcher Artie Nehf of the Giants is
showing a big improvement over his
early season work and promises to get
back into his old winning stride.
The Clevelands and the New York
Americans are both great hitting
teams, but for the old tear the cover
off smuggling the Yankees seem to have
it on the Indians.
The veteran, John McCloskey, is
coming into his own this season. His
Memphis team Is tearing along at top
speed out in front in the Southern
league.
After the Syracuse International
league team had lost IA games in a
row, the York Staters came back and
defeated Baltimore twice In success
sion.
Jack Daubert may not be the most
widely advertised player on the Gin
cinnati team, but there are none more
valuable than he.
Ping Bodie is almost as popular
among the New York baseball scribes
as Babe7Ruth.
Aside from Rogers Hornsby the Gin
cinnati players seem to be hogging the
batting honors In the National league.

MAJOR LEAGUES HAVE
FOUR FEDERAL STARS
Kauff, Rousch, Tobin and FIack
Only Players Developed.
OF More Than 200 Ball Tossers Thrown
on Market When Outlaw Circuit
Was Disrupted Less Than
Score Remain.

What has become of more than 2OO
Federal league players thrown upon
the market when that organization,
which aspired to be third major
league, was put out of business after
the season of 1915 by the National
League and American league through
purchase and consolidation? Many
of the Federal league players found
berths in the two surviving major
leagues. But today, we find less thah
q score of former Federal league men
remaining in the major leagues, ana
of these but four are really stars.
With the Cubs, there only remain
Outfielder Flack, Pitcher Hendrix, and
Third Baseman Deal. The GIANTS
have Outfielder Kauff, Inf1elder Jimmy
Smith and First Baseman Chase. On
cinnati has Outfielder Rousch and
Catcher Wilson, Outfielder Mann, First
Baseman Konetchy and 1nfielder Raw
lings; Philadelphia has Pitcher
Packard.
In the American league, st. Louis
has Outfielder Tobin and P1tcher-
Davenport, the latter just traded to
Washington: Detroit has Pitcher
Ehmke; Boston has Outhelder Me-
nosky, who was recently secured from
Washington In the deal that sent Roth
and Shannon to Washington, and New
York has Pitcher Jack Quinn.
1t is worthy of note that the Fed
eral League only developed four real
PLAYERS, and these are all outfelders,
namely: Kauff, Rousch, Tobin and
Flack, and of these only Tobin was an
actual Federal league discovery and
he had to go to the minors to De
polished up. All of which in erect
settles that leagues claims to major
Ieapue status at any time.

Manager Higgins Of Yankees Thinks

The manager of the Yankees has
good outfeld, but he admits that Kid
Gleason has a sweeter one. He says:
ST think one of the best outfields
have ever seen is the White Sox trio.
I'm talking about an outfield that COM
bines both offense and defense. Felsch,
Leibold and Jackson are not only good
hitters, but they are finished out
fielders and in the sheer mechanics
of baseball. More than all, they are
great throwers. I have rarely seen
them make mistake. Time after

hide is being obtained by the manu-

Of Australian wool, something they
weren't getting previously. The yarn
is of quality which gives added live

their greatest spring and impetus when

CONN. DELEGATE HOME
Delegate Palmer Arrives Ahead of Other Members-Talks About Con- ycntiou and Homer Cummings

vention and Homer Cummings.
 New Haven. July 12.-U. s. Mar shall W. R. Palmer of the Connec- ticut delegation to the San Francis co convention came home ahead of the rest and was here last night. To- day the marshal said that the Con- necticut delegation had an honest conviction that Homer s. Cummings would be an acceptable compromise candidate for the presidency and so it kept his name in the list. It had been figured that if the deadlock continued considerable longer time than it did a break would favor MT. Cummings. When Palmer withdrew, however, Cox and McAdoo got the delegates and Cummings did not ben eft as expected.
 MT. Palmer said he was surprised that the convention gave so little at- tention to the Bourke Cochran reso- lution favoring light wines and beer. His opinion was that the delegates accepted prohibition as a fact and the Volstead law one to be enforced until congress changed it.
