Hla professional debut was made with the Evansville, Ind., Club In 1894 and bo remained with that team the following reason. He was with Mobile In 1896 and wore the un.forra of the Richmond, Va., Club in 1897, 1S98 and 1899. 1 oward the close of the latter season he Joined the Kansas City Club. Ho started this season with the JSftlkes-Barr- e Club and remained wltft it until the collapse of the Atlantic League,1 when he joined the Denver Club, for which he has pitched fUst-claball.

Hugh Jennings la the best first base-ma- n in the business. He has no rival in gathering in short throws, and when it comes to jplaying the points, he shows all the cunning which made him one of the greatest shortstops whe ever wore a un.forra. He Is almost as sure on a bad bound as he Is on a ball thrown directly in his big glove, and he never loseq a second In getting the ball away to the point where It is needed, it is surprising how admirably he has adapted himself to his new position. His piuff of a thrown ball ft a recent game in St Louis waa thoroughly enjoyed. It was so novel to see Hugh make a mlsplay that th soectators gloated over it It becomes more apparent every day that the Cincinnati Club made a wise move when it engaged Arlie Latham as a coachcr for the Reds While Latham in himself is a good drawing card, owing to the fact that he heaJljr ft nutty and afford diversion from the many disagreeable features that infest base ball these days, his value does not lie so much la that direction as It does ft the matter of coaching base runners.
