Wagner and His New Glove.

Here is a news item about the Pittaburg Nationals: “The reckless and extravagant Hans Wagner has a new glove, the first he has purchased in seven years. Hans is a careful athlete to make one gldve last that long. There is nothing left of his old one but the metal clasp and the backs of the fingers. In practice Hans showed off a bit with the new glove and then bld it under the water keg. He won’t play in the new glove for fear of soiling it. The glove is a very pretty mouse colored garment.” Major Dalnsrerfleld, Timber Topper. Major Daingerfield, winner of more than SIOO,OOO in his five seasons on the turf, was sold out of P. J. Dwyer’s racing stable recently to a western turfman, and it is understood is destined to end his career as a steeplechaser. The “Major,” as he Is known about the race tracks, has gradually fallen from bls high estate as a great handicap horse because of his unreliability and has recently been running tn selling races. Occasionally he has won, but no turfman ever ventured to bld him up. f Not the Simple Life. Charley Nichols, the veteran baseball pitcher, says he has been smoking ever since be was twelve years old, and that six or eight cigars n day never make him nervous. Three on bases and none out is enough for the average twlrler. Joe Horiung. Veteran Joe Hornung was recently appointed a Connecticut league umpire.
