Pitcher Keefe and National League Notes From Chicago Trib
Pitcher Keefe of New York shows a mighty speed but has a pulling delivery. The Chicago Tribune quotes Charles Disden calling the New York Nationals a game bunch. Catcher Clark of Cleveland has shinguards different from Brey nahin and Roger’s, with changes in rules not altering the ball. The Beston Americans win occasionally, usually when Cy Young is in the box. Boston Nationals pressure left-handed pitchers. Chicago Nationals keep an old Baltimore knack. There is no hard rule for erecting a pitcher for victory or defeat when a cue is made, says John Deydler who officially decides such matters for the National League.
