BASEBALL GOSSIP.
Terry is said to bo the swiftest pitcher In
tho American association, and that he has
bettered the time made by Hcckerand Galvin,
when they pitched tho ball from the box to
the plate in seven-eighths Of a second.
A well-known llttsburg attorney, who has
mode a close study of baseball players' con
tracts, and has figured In suits growing out
of them, says they are illegal, and would not
stand for a moment in uny court In the land.
As for blacklisting a player, which is prac
tically issuing an injunction to provont him
from making a livelihood, it gives tho victim
the best kind of grounds for a suit for con
spiracy against the club or association or
clubs placing a ban upon him.
It is said that Dunlap will got $4,500 a year
from Detroit.
This has been tho best season ever seen in
Pittsburg, and the managers say that they
close the season about $30,000 ahead.
It is estimated that 11.1,000 spectators have
seen the games between the Chlcagos and
New Yorks and Detrolts and New Yorks in
this city this season.
Kecfo, Washington's now left-handed
pitcher, is looked upon as n wonder by
Manager Scanlan.
One of tho reasons gtvai for Tim Kecfo's
effectiveness as a pitcher this season is that ha
) litches a slower ball than many other pitchers.
And as the batsmen are in the habit of bat
ting swiftly pitched balls, they can do nothing
with a slow ball, and usually strike at it be
fore it comes within reach.
Stemmyer, the Boston pitcher, owes liU ef
fectiveness to the intimidation of batsmen. In
two games in this city ho hit live men and
kept others jumping around the plate to keep
out of reach of his closely pitched balls.
There is hardly a reasonable doubt but that
Pittsburg will bo found in tho League ranks
next season, and Manager Scanlan, of Wash
ington, is authority for saying that Von der
Abo and his HL Louis club will also enter if
they are guaranteed Sunday games.
Williamson, of Chicago, and Crane, of the
AVashlngtons, aro tho longest throwers in the
National League.
Sam Crane, lately of the Detroit club, has
signed with the St. Louis League club, and is

Johnny Ward, in a magazlno article, says
a base ball player's llfo is not a happy one.
All rumors to tho effect that Kansas City is
to drop out of the League next year are with
out foundation. &TI10 management expect to
greatly strengthen tho club this year and
have a strong one next season.
Glasscock Is now tho captain of tho St.
Louis JIaroons, and is getting better work
out of the team than any of his preddcessors.
Omaha has the most romaiknbly baseball
club in America. It consists of one player.
If the managers would secure eluht other
players tho club might occasionally win a
game. Omaha Bee,
President Lucas says that in so far as the
present St. Louis team is concerned, he will
