Moran’s Understudy with Cubs—Good Thrower, Has Eagle Eye on Bases. ‘With Kling out of the game, one of the problems which “has confronted the Chicago management has been the position behind the plate, Kling is not only a fine mechanical catcher, but he is a wise general, and many a game has been won through the crafty man- ner in which he watched the men at bat, as well as by his ability to cut off base runners. Moran has been doing the bulk of the work for the Chicago, but Chance says Archer, a youngster whom he has gathered ynder his wing, is one of the most promising young men he has had with the Cubs for some time, and in the future he would not be surprised if Archer were to hold his own against the good catchers of the big organiza- tion. He has a strong throwing arm and. more than his ability to.throw, he has a watchful eve In his" head, which keeps careful notice of the batters of the opposing teams. It isn't likely that he will be used very much in the regular games, unless Moran should happen to be injured. ‘When he does get in line behind the bat the manager of the team is cer- tain that he will develop into one of those handy fellows who are equal to the occasion when the necesslu arises for matching wits, Irish Giant Comes Back at Abe. Jack McGrath, the Irish Giant, comes right back at Abe the News- boy, who called Jack’s challenge a bluff when the Giant offered to throw Abe, Coliins and Pirolo in an hour. “Now that I have heard from him and Collins,” says MecGrath, “1 will go through with the match as soon as I hear from Pirolo. I should have no difficulty in getting him, as he has stated that I have been shunning him al] winter. Now, let him speak up, and if they have any more in their camp, bring them ‘along also and I will show them who is throwing the bluff, Now I believe it is up to them to come up or shut up. Now, as far as he says he is lookine for a go with Fenton, he will not have and trouble getting Paddy to sign up as he is fast coming back to his old- time form.” Putnam Batting .328.

This team is rated as one of the fastest amateur teams in this vicinity and will be accompanied by a large delegation of rooters to help them de- feat the local bonys. Manager Bres- nehan will endeavor to have some strong team to lifieup against his boys every week, so that the fans may be able to see some good games. Donohue and Nash Were Right. The answer published below from the aditor of Sporting Life shows that Um- pire Donohue and Mr. Nash of West- erly were right in their claim about the disputed run in the C. A. C.-Ston- ington game. The following answer was recejved by The Bulletin's sport- ing editor: “As there was no force on batsman or runner, the run counts. The double play rule does not apply in the matter of a run unless there is a force on a batted ball.” Mullin Needs Three More. If George Mullin can win his next three games he will have equaled the American league record for straight victories, set, by Happy Jack Chesbro in 1904, when he won fourteen con- secutive victories for New York.

Ray Fisher, the Hartford crack, lost the first wame since he came into the league when Northampton beat him by 1 to 0 yesterday. John McGraw says: “I can't see the Browns, and I'm sorry for Me- Aleer's case, as he is one of the finest fellows I ever met In the game.,” Pitcher Andy Herbst, who bad lots of trouble with Manager Bone last season, has patched up his troubles with the Boneyards and joined the New Havaen team. Andy has been twirling for Lynn in the New England league. The New York Highlanders are anx- fous to sign Ned Currier, catcher and captain of the Harvard nine. Arthur Irwin, scout for the Highlanders, saw Currier play in the game with Prince ton and wds much impressed with his all-round work, A formal offer will probably be made to the Crimson leader after the Yale serles. Owner W. W. Hanna of the New Britain baseball nine did some weed- ing out this week. He handed out walking tickets to the following: Heinle Gastmeyer, second baseman; Pitcher Hickey of Toroato; Sprin, one of the new backstops, and Burns, who played second base with the tea last year. Hanna pald good prices for Gastmeyer and Hickey, but they didn’t deliver the goods. “I see they have the race narrowed down to two teams,” says Manager McGraw of New York, “but I think they will change their tune before it is over. Pittsburg and the Cubs are out in front now, but we are not far behind, and I will be among those sur- prised It we @on’t break into the class of conten Our pitchers have not been going any too well and we have not been hitting as well as we ought.
