In the game of Saturday, is still at the Wind
SCR, where he is under the care of relative
residing here. He was resting easier last
nlg9t. and pr: Coon. who is his medical at
tendant stated last night that he was prac-
tfcally out of danger, apparently. He will
not, however, be able to return to the game
for at least week. and it is likely that in
the interim Jimmy Burke. who has been TAX
ing his place, will continue as the Cowboys
backstop.
There was a rumor yesterday that Manager
Comiskey would put Jack Carney, recently
Kansas City's first baseman and captain on
first for the Apostles. Glasscock going to
second, Hollingsworth to third, and Nyce to
the bench, but the report could not be con-
firmed. ."a.t -t-.e
Jack Menefee. who is in charge of the Kaws
on the field, made a hard plea to get Tim
ORourke reinstated pleading the crippled
condition of the team. Umpire Daily evidently
led Jack to believe that if Tim would apollo
gize he would be permitted to play, but Tim
did not seem to be anxious to crook the
hinges of his knee, and by the time he had
been brought into line Days backbone had
stiffened, and he could not hear O'Rourke's
mezzo- soprano voice, even from the most ad-
jacent locality.
Hollingsworth accepted twelve out of thir-
teen chances yesterday, and the one he failed
on, muifed fly, was the easiest play Of the
lot. seemingly.
The report that the locals going to
train to break the worlds record for the
number of double plays in a single game is
not necessarily true, although they are Civ
ing the thing a hard practice bout.
Minneapolis got two runs off Barnett and
Kansas, City three. Jack has pretty nearly
atoned for that fatal ninth at Kansas City,
when he turned his ankle.
The Chicago Times Herald of yesterday has
this to say of DenZer's work in the closing
Chicago-Boston game: Roger Denzer, who
had record of winning one game in nine,
fresh from a rustication in the country,
pitched masterful ball and turned the trick.
Not until the ninth inning were hits punched
on his delivery. He showed form of which
few deemed him possessed. siencing
quietus was put on those advocating that he
be farmed out to St Paul"
