Danny Hoffman, who, with several other stars, is now on the sick list of the Browns, has dropped from the ranks of the favored ones, and it was the first time this year that he has been outside the pale. For a time Stone, iss and Hoffman were among the elite. any mere reputation like Cobb or l- Joie's. The figures show that the Athletics are playing the most consistent baseball in the League. The Detroit and Boston clubs are batting hard, but Philadelphia Is close with them.

But the fielding of Detroit is modlocre, while that of Boston is atrocious. The Athletics lead the League as batters and also as extra-base hitters. Following are the figures: ST. LOUS, Auk. 20, lOOfl.

Mr. Prank Nnvln. Detroit Club. Detroit. Trll Roaamaa to report to the Browoa here Saturday for work.

Jonea will depart Immediately for Detroit. K. HEDGES. Scarcely had the echo of the news of the trading of Bobby Byrne of the Card inals died away than Robert Lee Hedges blew into camp Friday and re-awakened the fans with the announcement that Old Thomas Jones, the reliable, had been traded outright for Claude Ross-man, the Detroit first sacker. The deal was accomplished on the recent trip of Hedges to Chicago, where tt was thought he had gone to see If there was chance that Comiskey would let go of Fielder Jones.

Rossman has been in bad odor at De troit. Jennings asked waivers on him once before, but the White Sox and Browns both went after him so avidly that Jennings withdrew the waivers. Rossman Is a hard man to handle. He sensitive and given to wrangling with his teammates, although he is a hard worker in the game. His batting has fallen away and his fielding lias likewise gone back.

Jones is one of the most reliable of men when it comes to playing the de fensive game, and his advent will certainly steady the defensive aide of the Tigers' play. Rossman's figures follow: Fur 1000. O. AB. H.

Deal Will Aid Both. Rosfman is a slugger, however, and he waa right on the l.ee.s of Cobb and Crawford in extra base hitting, last season.

The deal promises to be a boon for both clubs, as Hedges will certainly nfed Rossman's hitting, while Detroit's wobbly defensive work will greatly helped by the steady "Squire." If Rossman Is contented here ha will hava a steady infleld crew to work -with who rhould help hi play at first materially. And If he hita well there will be in the batting order tlio sadly needed man who can now and then drive In runs. Hitherto Hob Ferris has been the only one on the club worth Ms salt when It comes to driving home runs. Rossman Is a j-cuug man and there Is little reason to believe haa not many years of haebali left In him. It's rough on Roswnan, that, like Barbeau of the Pirates, he Is about ti ba deprived a fine chance for that $2000 apiece bonus money that goee with victory In the world's aeries.

On the other hand, Tom Jones goea to a club that, strengthened a bit for the run home. looks sure to be the contender at tha end. The Rose Buds of East St. Loulj, would like to arrange for games with teams playing In the 13-year-old Address Dewey Formas. 1619 St.

IT makes a big difference who plays the cards and how, doesn't it.

If James McAleer were to trade Danny Hoffman for a pair of trolley league outfielders the popularity he now enjoys would not be enhanced so that you could notice it. In fact, James would likely have to retire to the cave and conduct the team's operations by wireless from that poinL But Roger, King Roger, trades the most popular man on the Cardinals Club, and one of the most efficient, for one twice discarded player and another who has yet to make good. And Roger will get away with the deal, so far as St. Louis is concerned, without any great amount of protest. Tha king can do no wrong, you know.

However, the trade on its face seems to offer little to St. Louis. Byrne was the best run getter on the team one of the first ten in the Leag je. He was almost with the leaders in base stealing, and was in other ways a splendid player. Moreover, he was from St.

Louis, and we could call him "one of our boys" without feeling that we were pouring ad ulation on the hireling, mercenary out-lander. Bobby was made in St. Louis. Setting; Outshone the Gem, Barbeau, who failed to make good in the big League before he went to Pittsburg, shone this season because of the setting in which he was placed, not because he had improved. He batted .225 and had tallied 69 runs; but the gentlemen that really were responsible for the scores, if you please, were Clarke, Leach and Wagner.

These trundled their heavy artillery to the plate whenever Barbeau had jollied his way to first. Byrne will" be "leading the league as a run-getter with this trio of curve-murderers behind him. S(orkt In ot a Bird. Barbeau did not suit Clarke. He tried Storke in Barbeau's place, and he was worse; so back went the leader of the Pirates to Barbeau.

Abstein was not hitting well, so Storke was placed on first. But he hit even less, and so Storke curled up on tha bench where he has remained since. It reduces to this that the Cardinals have apparently given away one star for two ordinary players. Two bad ones never yet made a rood one in baseball. Nice of Plttabars.

OVER In Pittsburg they seem to think well of the two men SL Louis is getting. But they can afford to be kind when they are getting player of Byrne's caliber just as the season Is reaching a climax. Manager Bresnahan no doubt has a reason for the trade that does not appear on the surface. It Is possible he wants a good substitute as well as a third baseman. Barbeau is not a world-beater, and he may do well enough on third, although he surely will not shine as he has dona for Pittsburg.

Storke can play second string to both the infield and outfield, and in this regard, perhaps, Bresnahan will be benefited for emergency situations. With the reg CLUB. G. 2B. 3B.

PLAYKR CU'B, 2B. 3B. H.R. T.B. Bobby Byrne is satisfied he will be in line for a division of the world's cham pionship pie, should Pittsburg win the world's series.

But what of the feelings of "Jap" Barbeau," who hustled so many games for the Pirates? His chance for a $2000 bonus is entirely knocked out by the trade. Will it help his playing to contem plate this? While other baseball cities are coming to St. Louis to recruit their teams with our home-made material, local owners reach out elsewhere to get men, look ing over the heads of our own good ones. It was In this way that Robi son sneered himself out of one of the best pitchers in the National League today Ed Reulbach. Pittsburg alone now has three of our Mound City men.

and ail have made good Byrne, Abstein and Leifield. What's the use of drag gfcig the backwoods when we have them here at home? Donovnn to the Rescue. Hughey Jennings is fortunate. Luck i3 always with the optimistic and the fighters, and Hughey comes under both headings. Just when his team Is down and out its Infield scrapping and ran chewing and the pitchers panting from the gruelling, at this trying moment when something is needed to crystallize the interest of the club and awaken It flagging spirits, the right party steps in.

Last year, in a similar crisis, it was Bush who stepped into the breach. He pulled the club from third place into the pennant chair. This year it is Wild Bill Donovan who promises to do the same thing. Infuriated William all season, or better part of it, has been a libel on his previous reputation. Bill pitched Detroit Into its first pennant, winning 25 games, losing 4 and tleins one.

This year he has not been able to get his stride and Jennings has nursed him along carefully. Life Saver for Jennings. The result is that now, when all the other pitchers need a rest and the team is at the end of its resources, Donovan, rejuvenated, steps to the firing line. Donovan pitched a three-hit game Thursday and shut out his opponents In his next previous battle. That spells good form for Donovan and.

probably the pennant for Detroit. Such a little thing as one man can swing the tide of battle In the close American League race. Detroit has not many friends among the other clubs of the baseball world. The population there attends tho National game too poorly and it seems that pennants are wasted on the desert air of that city. Nevertheless one would like to see Jennings and Clarke fight it out.

20. Manager Uresnahan and his players met the same fate Thursday aftercoon as they did in 1 he other three games. Although they did not have a chance in the world to win, Willis kept the hits so scattered thut it was impossible for the Cardinals to even get many men on base. Lush was very bad. and after hitting two men lie was sent to the stable and Melter sent on the rubber.

The latter found himself in a hole right at the start, as bases were filled, and Abstein sent wo runners home with a timely single. A big surprise was sprung on the fan this evening, when ManaRer Clarke timed that he had traded popular "Jap and Allen Storke to tit. Louis Byrne, the great third baseman of lie Cardinals. The Cardinals are getting a hustler to ke the place of Bob, while in Siorke m'j- are geitlny a ballplayer who is able work in both the lufielc' and it Is a toss as to which team gets the si of tUM trade.

as ha is wo short, and when he crouches at the plate there is not much to pitch at. The fans here are aorry to see Bar-ieau leave, for he has become a great fovortta and It Is certain that he will prove a better man for the Cardinals than Byrne. In addition to "Jap" gets a rattling good player in Stork, who can play any of the Infield positions and play them in great shape, while ha has few ecusis as a batter, if played regularly. The record! the three players follow: rs. ar it 11 jnun snsu a Bsitwiu 91 340 SO 7T 14 3 0 18 .221 I Cut 88 13 1 23 7 ,211 i.7 117 12 28 4 2 0 1 8 .23 r.nis nan nui own trouble" in tn tama, tw error charged him when he dropped two flies, something unusual for the clever left fielder.

Kills was the second Cardinal to make 100 hits this season. His hundredth bingle was a hard smash to deep right for three bases. Lush certalnlv had his troubles to lo cate the plate, and after hitting Clarke and Wagner, he was seut to the stable. Miller was the "hittlnK kid." as he made a stogie, double and triple. Ab-steln also had three hits, and, with Clarke's three, these players bad ninu of the 13 hits made.

The Cardinals could get but six hits off Willis and Ellis made half of them The Pirates' runs came In pairs as they scored twice in each of the first, third, fifth and seventh. Rudy Hulswitt proved that his absence was a big handicap to the Cardinals when he was off duty. The way he played short made Wagner look cheap.
