Philadelphia has released Pitcher Keefe. Players like to jump onto a new umpire. The Southern League has been forced to the wall. The New Yorks have contract. eighteen men under Ward Ls confident now that New York will finish fifth at least. Nash, of Boston, still remains the prettiest thrower in the League. Pittsburo has the best waiters, 360 men having gone to bases on balls. Holliday, of Cincinnati, played thirty three games without an error. Pitcher Petty, whom New York pur chased from Charleston, is as big as Rusle. Suoden is catching all of Pittsburg's pitch ers in clever fashion. He is one of the lucky "finds." Cooley, of St. Louis, is the youngest player in the League. He is barely twenty years of age. BosToai and Philadelphia lead the Leagne in runs and home runs the former having the best of it in runs. Four triple prays have been made in the National League and three in the Eastern League-so far this season.

Pittsburg, has the honor of being the first player to bat a ball over the fence of the new Sportsman's Park at St. Louis. There are ten men in the "battery" de partment of the New Yorks Rusie, Baldwin, Jones. Davies, German, Petty, Milligan, Kelly, Doyle and Wilson. Looks as though another great star has set. President Brush says Comiskey, of Cincin nati, must manage hereafter, and some other player will take care of first base. A singular incident happened during one of the Boston-Philadelphia games. A ball struck a box of matches in the pocket of a man over by third base, setting them on fire. The other day a great big amateur baseball club at Paterson, N. J., performed the cow ardly and unmanly action of jumping on the Washington Baseball Club to the score of 17, to 5. The remarkable interest in baseball this year is causing universal comment. In spite of the fact that the financial condition of the country is in a deplorable state, the attend ance at the ball games increases rather than diminishes. aylor has an excellent trick of turning his bat and striking the ball with the handle so that it drops just in front of the plate. Other players try the same plan, but do not carry it out as successfully as the Baltimore first baseman. RECORD OF THE LEAGUE clubs. v Per Clubs. Won. Losf. ct. Per von. Lost. ct. Boston...

The train was going at a high rate of speed.
