What about Omaha? President Kent
says it is the only club that has been
slow in paying its league dues.

Johnny King, of Rockford, is a ball
player worthy Of the name. He can
play anywhere and Manager Nicol has

, ST. Joe won two games from Omaha
this week, and Jacksonville is playing
winning ball, so is Rockford. am glad

Sol Oppenheimer has gone into the
score card business on large scale. He
has the base ball privilege in most of the
Western association towns, and is be-
sides supplying the principal cities of
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado,
Texas and Kentucky with cards for
races, etc. Oppenheimer's score cards
are the standard article in that line.
The Quincy papers have the right
idea. Any and all members of their
team that don't play winning ball are
scored numerically. That is right.
This thing of home papers swelling the
heads of their own team and internally
roasting other teams, regardless of their
playing abilities, is nct right; in fact it
shows lack of good sense, fairness and
judgment.
