Jack Carney, Of Terre Haute, and
Gil Hatfield, of Kansas City, will have
franchise in the Western league next
season beyond question, and Toledo
will be the city they represent. A fran
chise could not land in better hands.
Carney is popular man, and it is due
to his efforts and popularity that the
Hottentots are playing such good ball.
1t makes a, big difference when Com
anche Charlie is in the game, and we
are likely to see more of it during the
closing games of the season. He was
in run when it was needed. He has
never failed to do this, as the records
will show.
The scores Of yesterday represent
exceptionally good games. The near
approach to the end of the season is
acting as an inspiration to the ball

took a seat in the grand stand, from

without gloves in that conversation,

The press of Terre Haute has taken
fright at the meager attendance at the
ball games there, and is appealing to

mates are convinced, however, that the
town is much too small to support a

There is one thing that the Western

down on before next season, and that
is the borrowing of PLAYERS from Ma

Brush owns both the Indianapolis and
Cincinnati clubs has enabled him to
swap players around, and has given
Indianapolis manifestly unfair ad-
vantage over the other clubs in the
league.-Indianapolis Sentinel
The fact that Phyle pitched for St
