The Toronto club gets Markle Land Brady as soon as waivers can be obtained, while Richmond draws Keating and Boone. Markle is likely to find himself and pitch good ball if he is worked regularly. Keating could never .go more than six or seven innings without losing his "liquid fire" and exploding. 6 The Toronto fans, though, are finding a néw solace in the hitting of McTigue.

The highest among eastern clubs was made by Providence in 1884 with .750, and the lowest~by Philadelphia last sea- son when the Phillies won the pen- nant with 592. Among the west- ern clubs Chicago's average of .798 Ih 1880 is high and Detroit's .637 in i887, low. ° ' He also points out that, with one exception, eastern and western clubs have won pennants in groups of two three or.five :years as follows: 1877-79, east; 1880-82, west; 1883- '84, east; 1885-87, west; 1888-1900, east; 1901-03, west; 1904-05, east; 1906-10, west; 1911-15, east.
