NOTES of the DIAMOND

Two souls with a single thought— McGraw and Maek. Catcher Rariden of the Bostod Braves isn’t throwing with his usual speed. * i • • % Buttle Creek now has a complete Indian battery, with Watkins pitching and Nevitt catching. Infielder O’Leary of the Cardinals seems to be fully as good as when he played with the Detroits. _ ———-—■ ’— Johnny Bates is now the\>est pinch hitter in either league. The Cincinnati outfielder made good on eight out of nine chances. • • • Larry McLean is doing regular service for the Giants, and it appears as if he would give Chief Meyers a run for the backstopping job. • • * The national commission has already been planning to start tbe world’s series at the Polo grounds on October 7, and alternate every day with the Athletics at Shlbe park. • • • Evidently Manager Evers ts going to get his money’s worth in weight if not in quality when he makes trades in the future. Moore, and Vaughan are all over the ordinary size. * * * Long Bob Ewing, for sevevil years a pitcher with the Cincinnati Reds, is through with baseball. He started to pitQh in a game at Lima, but snapped a small bone in his arm. He is going back to his farm.
