 For the first time in nine years rain yesterday prevented an Amerl- can league Sunday baseball game i1 Cleveland, the final game of the season between the Cleveland and St. Louis clubs being cancelled.

Mr. Evers would let all runners advance on base on balls We suppose that's the only way the ancient Johnny could advance these days.
 We See by the papers that Abe Goldstein put I'D a terrible fight the other night -. One thing about Mir. Goldstein, he meyer disappoints you.
 
 The chief drawback about being a ball player in Washington is that you have to meet so many congress- men. - No matter what happens in the pennant race, the Rrool;lyns will al- ways have third baseman in Stock. tThis Is written just to show how lew guy can sink when he needs stuff 10 fill)
