Mt 4 p, m.-fOrt Wayne Gazette, Sure
~ the Gazette Is getting OF n Joke or
dropped into n fine vein OF sntlrc. In
the name OF "Plnky" O'Dowd what three
players In Fort Wayne would strengths
IN anything?
"Knockcr" lIurdcsty Is evidently get
ting In his work at Wheeling. DIsgcn-
slons are cropping out among the players
or that team and us u result Wagner
ana Whaling, the two best men Wheel
Ing had, have asked for and been given
their rcleasc.-Jnckson Patriot. You
still hive another guess. Long range
criticism like that only shows that your
main aim Is TO dlgcredIt lIardcsty as
much MS you can Tho only "lmockcr'
from jackson In tho Wheeling team Is
Robinson, and all his knocking Is la-
voted to Knocking the ball. Come ugaln.
The Youngstown Telegram deplores
the fact that Cooper did not spike Davis
when lie was trying to make the plate
on the play where Kecfc gave tho game
to youngstown last Friday. Well, that's
nice advice for n paper TO give. There
seems TO be n good deal OF swclled head
about Youngstown lately. Has no club
license TO- beat Youngstown? Wheeling
VIII see about that.
Harry V~anEeuren, who has lust re-
turned from Il trip through tho north
west, brings homo some wonderful tales
about Jack Glasscock's brilliant playing.
Harry says he Is easily the star player
In the Western League. llo saw Jack
perform In several games and says that
MS spryness and gln6ery work are mar
Vicious. lie also says thnt while In St.
Paul he was told that five National
League clubs had put In bids for Glass
cock. Comlskey, when asked II he was
going TO part with him, replied to the re-
porter: ID you take me for n fool? DO
you think would let tho best mar In the
team Go?" Harry also run across Sam
my" Nichols. OF the Kansas City team.
He reports that Sammy IL playing
brilliant ball. but that the team Is In the
hard luck row. .lsLW
Padden. the Martins Forty boy, has
been doing great work for Pittsburgh OF
late. The Commercial Gazette OF yes
terday In speaking OF mis- activenrss,
says: That Padden boy Is not doing n
thing but keeping up his brilliant game
at the second bag. and there IL hardly
a day that he Is not mixed UP In some
sensational play. and Just to make things
more Interesting. he has developed a
habit or hitting the bnll square on the
nose at the time when It Will do the most
good.
Haller has been made manager OF the
Wheeling team us well as captain, which
was Il wise nov on the part OF PresI-
den Qelaplnlne.
youngstown and New Castle seem to
be particularly pleased with the umpir-
Ing OF keefe. From what the Jackson
players say they havcEood reason 10 feel
that way. Captain Corcoran says that
he's the worst robber the league has had
this season.
Kane will probably pitch to-day's
game. As Flaherty, the clever left
handler, will be out OF 1t. the EaIlers
should win the next two games.
The Jactsons are too strong n team
TO be among the tail-endcrs. It must
be hard luck that keeps them down. for

thing else.
Saginaw has released big BIZ
Johnson. He ard n brother Of Byron
McKeown, the Washington mlll!noalre,
lrst oase-man were among the specta-
tors yesterday.
The defeat OF yesterday was not so
hard to take, considering how popular
Shields Is among the local fans.
McCauley. the "Jaxon'' first baseman,
IL n veteran bali player. He was two
years with the PhiladelphIas. The
early part OF this season he played In
the defunct Pacific league and the In
~dianapolIs club, OF the Western league.
Corcoran Is also an old player.
A long fly batted out in GallaGher's
territory Is sure TO be an out. He had
seven outs yesterday.
