So are the Cubs So are half a doten other big clubs. Just to get sLatisical about this mat ter. and to everlastingly confound Connie, a gentleman with a slant to ward figures baseballic complied a long series of tables last night by which he demonstrated that the mar rled tnon In baseball are better aver 1 age hitters than single men. He says ho took twenty married men and twenty unmarried men. and the re sult showed that the llenedlets bat around .35*;, while the unmarried , wobble along at .235. Most Pitchers Benedicts. So It Is with the pitching and field ing The figures showed that the ' married twirier* have won a percent age of their games almost double that I of the unmarried slahmen. As for I fielding, the Benedicts are no far ahead of the baches that it would he shameful t0 mention the figure. Of course, matrlmonv lias stolen some celebrities from the game al together, the real noteworthy cases being those of Hill Lange, who quit at the heights of his glory, and married a ( alifornla girl, and our own Mike Donlln, who vamoosed the diamond when he married Miss Hite and rm narked with her on his histrionic career. Then again matrimony has given several men to the game, who were more or less useless during their stngle careers, but wiio steadied down with marriage, and became the play ers that Nature Intended. This profound discussion of matri mony sheds no valuable light upon ( onnle Mack's situation at the end of that column in The American league race, of course. He says, according to his Interview, that he is handi capped by bridegrooms, and lie prob ably doesnt' care what any one thinks to the contrary. The views on Frank ( narce. John Mc<iraw, or ov^nt the blithe Hughey probably contain no in terest to the perturbed chief of the Athletics. If They Looked Like Collins. It might lie diverting, however, to learn the ideas of Hill liahlen. Hobby Wallace and Fr. .1 Tenney. Tliev would likely be willing to accept ail the bridegrooms they could get hold of if they look anything like Kddie Collins. Marriage Is the rule rather thnn the exception among hall players nowadays. A majority of the good clubs of the major leagues are what might he termed married clubs; that Is, most of the players work in double domestic harness. They are not bridegrooms, of course, and have been married such time that they can give that hour and a half a day which basis hall demands to the game itself with out their minds wandering homeward the while they make errors, and don't make base hits, as is said to be the case with the Athletics. Connie was perhaps in a jocular mood when he issued the bridegroom Interview , it Is hardly likely to he accepted as a serious solution of the Athletics' toUiggan slide. W'liat about a little lack of condition? What about a little of that had luck which some times pursues the best hall teams • No Names; They're Married Men. Many a manager even prefers that his ball players be married, and en courages them to the best of his nbil Ity They believe if does the player good. And they don't care whether he gets married in June, July or ATHLETICS’ THIRD BASEMAN CLOUTS HORSEHIDE PRETTY HARD THESE DAYS /Baki,^ Cl i", W>1 1 V May I Baker, third looker f..r the Athletk-a ha* dnlntt well Wtth the at Irk thl. l-at work hi* timely ’triple I'To iik hi In two runa in the (tame with Waahlnfton He had two hit* out of Ihreo linn* AS THEY LOOK AT PRESENT T » SOME DON’TS BASEBALL FANS SHOULD REMEMBER _ -- —_ IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO THROW POP BOTTLES AT LIMPS. Don't Try to Vamooae With a Pill With the Blueeoat Looking Squarely at You. With the bascbaJI pennant races finally rut loose the fans In every city and town that is represented hy 1 teams of diamond experts are ready for another strenuous campaign. The baseball solons have framed many rules governing the national pastime, i hut they have never seen fit to give words of advice to the rooters, who keep the sport alive with the money passed into the box office windows. Fandom includes all classes of citi zens. and In order to keep them in check the following warnings have been framed by a person who knows something about the unbridled en thusiasm of those who follow the fortunes of their favorite teams: Don't shout words of advice to the players. Don't roast players for making er rors. Don't pan the manager when his toam logoff. Don t pan the team when the man ager's errors of Judgment are to blame Don't call the umpire a robber he rau-e you hear others applving this name Don't roast the umpire when he calls a third strike on a ball that passes over the middle of the plate and retires your hero to the benrh Don't cheer and throw your hat in the air when a home player knocks the ball over the fence a foot outside the foul linn Don't show how little von know about inside halt by telling your neighbor why such and such a play didn't go through Don't try to identify the players for the benefit of the unsophisticated un less you are absolutely sure of your ground !

The Nettle Carroll quartette of high wire dancers gives the neatest ami most beautiful act ever devised for a circus bill.
