Strlcklett the new pitcher purchased
from Wheeling, seems to be the pitcher
strobeI has been looking for, He let
Uthe Columbus team down with FIVE hits
at their home yesterday. which is a
good performance for any pitcher. The
young fellow is inclined to be sulky.
and his worst fault is that he cannot
stand bad umpirfng. His work here
with Wheeling did not stamp him as
a wonder. but It Is understood since
that team went away that all was not
harmony in the StogIe camp. When

and the player was only prevented from
attacking the captain again by the
interference of Manager Healy, who

Bates and Skopec have both been hit
hard in Fort Wayne, and 1t may be
possible that Strobel has secured the

chance for there being any truth in the
report.-Columbus Dispatch
The team work Of the Toledos shows
the good effect Of the coaching Of an
experienced captain. Jack Glasscock
has gone to Sioux City, where Buck
Ebright was released to make room for
him. Jack will undoubtedly turn out
a winner. He always has.-columbua

Congalton is n fast fielder and good
sticker.-Fort Wayne Journal
The team that beats those stogie
Makers will win the pennant-or come
mighty near it.-Fort Wayne Journal.
