This was reduced to seven in 1882, to six in 1885, to five in 1887, and to four In 1889. One of the first players to uso a glove was Charles C.

Brooklyn, N. the other day, he raced around the circuit to third base with a burst of speed that astonished the great crowd. The Dutchman slid Into the bag with such momentum that he wrenched his leg, but after a short rest, he was on his toes, as lively as ever. The great Dutchman not only shattered Smith' confidence when he tripled over Wheat's bean, hut also put a crimp In the Brooklyn's lone rally wTjen he madto a wonderful hare handed stop of what should have been a base hit from Appleton'a bat.

Wagner, off his balance as he grabbed the ball, made a desperate throw under hi left arm to force Miller at second. The peg was perfect, too, for Viox had plenty of time to step on the bag. Barney Dreyftiss, who watched his rirates and smiled all afternoon, declared that Wagner, barring a slight decrease In batting percentage, had been playing the same old game since the opening of the campaign. "Hans is 41," said Drcyfuss, as he saw the Dutchman kill several base hits; "but he is really only 20!" Wagner, by the way, hasn't drawn a penny of his salary this year. He says he doesn't need the money, and that Drefuss can pay him Interest next fall.

This year's crop of baseball language Is a bumper.

Note samples: Tee Long's triple howled like a sawmill as It burned Its way through the atmosphere. Old Hambone saw Chalmer's balloon coming and whaled to the right fence. My, how Ham murders cripples! Brave as a fire laddie, Bancroft took his life In his hand and tackled the burning grounder. Philadelphia's Infield hugged the grassed. Cozy copped a curve.

Luderus went fishing and pushed the ball over third base. John Miller pounced on the first one and rammed It. A free club swinger like Luderus, who starts his haymaker at his heel. Long vicious hopper was a pippin. There yas a twin killing.

Neither Niehoff nor Bancroft could reach It with their lunch hooks. Cravath saved the Philadelphia machine from turning turtle by mining Butler's fly. The phraseology of criticism la perforce technical. Yet somehow the reviewing critic of baseball manage to render themselves Intelligible to the great masses, which no other kind of critic can do. This la a tribute equally to the quality of the criticism and to the marvelous knowlngness, approaching omniscience, of the fan.
