MODERN GAME AS A SCIENCE Old-Time National League Star Lets Port Deposit Team Down With out One Safe Hit. Vlo Willis, for 13 years one of the star pitchers in the National league, showed his old-time form when, pitch ing for the Trt-County league, he let " - 1 m Vie Willi. Port Deposit down without a hit and then lost the game, 1 to 0. Two errors gave Port Deposit the winning run In the ninth inning. Schute's Awakening. Frank Schulte of the Cubs has re covered his batting eye. Schulte was the batting sensation of last year, when he made 21 home runs. . Now Heinle Zimmerman is the candy kid with the stick. Schulte will undoubted ly be heard from this time forward. . Chance to Undergo Operation. Frank Chance will be operated on at the end of the present season.

Ancient Fans Amazed at Present Day Batting and Pitching Sport Is In Its Infancy. Baseball today Is a science, and we ancient fans stand amazed at the pres ent day pitching and batting work, at the phenomenally clever base run ning and the hold the national game has gained on the public fancy. Wa are growing old with the game, but -tho latter is always improving while we are getting near sighted and still in the Joints, says a writer in Leslie's. The glories of the past are being dimmed by the- accomplishments ol the present, and these "infant" fans will live to see things done that we cannot even Imagine. That's why 1 envy them. We used to think we had seen everything that was In the game. Now we realize that the sport is still in its childhood. The Cobbs, the Marquards and the Johnsons are teaching us this, and double clinching the fact. Fisher, the new Brooklyn shortstop, looks very promising. Pongo Cantillon is claiming anoth er pennant for the Millers. Umpire Bill Dlneen Is out with th theory that Ty Cobb isn't human. Barney Dreyfuss of the Pirates 1s after Red Corridon of the Kansas City team. - George Gibson seems to be in a class with Jimmy Archer In guar dins the sacks. Eddie Mensor, the outfielder of the Pirate team, Is a prize fighter in the off season. Russell Ford and Ed Walsh, both spitballers, have allowed more hits than any other pitchers In the Amer ican league. Apparently Manager Callahan Is coming to believe that youngsters are much needed. Charley Dooin springs a new one in asking that a disinfectant be need on the spltbalL Cincinnati has released Thorn kins, the Washington-Lee university pitcher, to Toronto. i As usual In a defeat, the opposing pitcher didn't seem to have anything except a glove and a prayer. The success of the Senators is said to be due to the ability of the pitch ers to hold the runners on first. "Ducky" Holmes, manager of the Grand Rapids team, is boasting that' he developed both Rube Marquard and Dixie Walker. ' The Cleveland club Is scouring the remotest corners of the country for anything and everything that looks like a player. Columbia of the South Atlantlo league has traded Phil Hinton to Spartanburg of the Carolina tioa tor Catcher Monetae.
