run up against sweet, JUICY pitchers. All the
boys are fond of Kansas City Pears.
meeting will be called shortly at which
1t Is desired that every team in the city be
represented. Notice will be given in THE
BEE,
Bucknberger's Sioux Citys are no snap for
any team. The team is drawing great
crowds, considering the isfortunes of the
team.
Red O'Rourke is fielding well for st. Paul
but he Is away off in his batting. He was
always considered heavy hitter till this
year.
Hart has pitched another great game for
Sioux City against the Denvers, letting the
Mountain Lions down for four scattering
hits.
A great many of the clubs think tho are
the Tennys in the Western Observation-Disclosures.
But they are all pretty good horses, rain or
shine.
'Rabbi' Clark says he Is in it this season
harder than ever. Here is a chance for
team wanting hard working player and
good batter.
The race is great one in the west, and the
fellow who thinks he can pick the winner at
THIS stage OF the game has nerve enough to
rob a coach.
Tebeau is great deal like Anson when
the umpire doesn't give him the earth, he is
satisged with two-thirds the best of it AZ
what's left over
Minneapolis has resurrected Billy Burdick.
He was buried pretty deep. but the demand
for semblance of pitcher induced the Min
nies to dig him up.
Umpire Knight seems to be doing nicely.
Alonzo is an educated man. having received a
fine education during his term in Girard col
lege, Philadelphia.
Johnny Sowders Is not pitching with the
speed no used last year, but Manning thinks
he will come around all right. He has been
oyerworked thus far
The West Omahas have lost the last three
games played not on account of poor playing,
but little hard luck. When they get round
to 1t look out for them.
The Kansas City players are away off in
their team work. If Manning doesn't make
his boys take brack pretty soon his reputa-
tion will suffer.
Old Norman Baker with the Omahas this
year, seems to have caught his second wind.
There is not pitcher IN the Western associ-
alton doing better work than he.
Did you see Lincoln take off It's coat and
sail into milwaukee, and Sioux Cityt And
did you notice the fur fly Dave Is b-a-a-d
man when he gets riled. 1t was case of
root hog or die, and he rooted.
The way little Shugart hits the ball is a
caution to snakes. He seems to get anywhere
from three 10 dozen hits in a game and
doesn't seem TO give a continental whether
they are singles or home runs.
Big Swartwood of Sioux City is no young
blood. He played with Hollinger's Detroit
team twelve years ago-lS19. En- Gross,
Salisbury, LIBBY, Barclay and others were
members of Hollinger's band the same year
oh, Jackey, Jackey Rowe If you could only
throw you'd be up on top as good back
stop and get rafting show. But, Jackey,
Jackey Rowe, you gave out years ago; you
were then IN your prime, and caught sublime
IN dear old Buffalo,
Mcclellan is playing we'll for Denver,
whore they give prizes for home runs. Te-
beau won hat for the first homer, Curtis
received handsome cane for the second and
Short Stop White received silk umbrella
for scoring the third four -bagger.
It's rather amusing to hear Denver enthu-
siasts speak about "Fournier's wonderful
command of the ball" In recent game
t'ourner topped the record of the season by
giving seventeen men bases on balls. Won
derful command, indeed
In Jim Manning the Kansas Citys have
hustliug, active, ambitious, enthusiastic cap
tain and one of the most intelligent auu gem
tlemanly ball players in the profession. Ii
takes good many hard knocks TO down that
kind OF a player, and he is bound TO keep his
club I'm IL" TO the very end.
Hustled has signed To play with Kansas
City on Jack Ptcketrs recommendation II.
They played together in the Philadelphia
Brotherhood team last season, aud Pickett
says that Hustled will make "a good man if
gwen plenty OF work Tho Philadelphia
league club had its net stretched to corral
