Captain Pat Wright, of the visiting
team, was put out of the game for dis
| putting a decision Of Umpire Criss and
was afterwards put off the lot for
calling Criss a "one-armed thief."-To-
ledo Bee.
Since Grand Rapids has failed to get
into the Interstate League, she has
thrown up the sponge in the Interna-
tional and paid off the men and dis
banded. Manager Mitts is said to have
lost money from the start.
If Pardee and Stricklett are the op-
posing pitchers this afternoon, the
fans will have an opportunity to
judge whether or not Messrs. Healy and
Lytle acted wisely in parting with the
services of the former.
Ed. Poole is one of the best all-round
players in the Interstate. His feat yes
terday of striking out ten Columbus
batsmen and allowing only three hits
is a great performance. He fields his
position in clever style.-New Castle
Courant-Guardian.
Joseph Wright, who has so long held
QOWn llC lCll IC1Q pOSlItOA On lnC
Youngstown team, has been released.
His discharge vas handed him at To-
ledo last evening, Bay proving all that
the manager desires in an outdelder.-
New Castle Courant-Guardian.
Denny Lyons was fined So and put
off the grounds by Umpire Caruthers
for disputing the decision on Belden at
second base in the seventh inning.
Rothermel protested against the decis-
ion and was fined S. also.-Ft. Wayne
Sentinel.
McCredie, that most efficient centre
fielder, has been released by New Cas-
tie and a player named Lawrence sign
ed in his stead. Lawrence must be a
cracker-jack to displace' such a valu-
able mar as McCredie. Why don't Co
lumbus grab him and let loose an anna
teur?
Eli Gates has been released by Kan
sas City and has been signed by Stro-
bel. He will be here Sunday to pitch
against Mansfield. This will be good
news to the fans, for Gates is popular
and can be relied upon to help the boys
UP the ladder.-Toledo Blade.
The FIT. Wayne Sentinel says that if
Manager Riley had followed the die
tates Of his wv conscience and signed
a few good men for his team, instead Of
listening to the harpings of Columbus
papers, the story revealed by the per-
centage table would have been alto
gether different. Riley's amateurs
would be a soft thing for the Little
Potatoes Hard to Peel"
Elmer Meredith declares that Mans
field has the best team in the Inter
state League, even Fort Wayne not ex-
cepted, provided the Haymakers get
together and play the game. Lowney
certainly has good individual material
when it works, but we can't afford to
have a single man out of condition,
and especially as long as the pace is as
hot as it has been in the Interstate for
the past three or four weeks.-Mans-
field News.
Toledo has probably the worst gang
Of bleacherites of any city in the Inter-
state circuit. They are at times a dis
grace to the city. This does not refer
to all people who sit or the bleachers,
but to a certain class who have not
the intelligence of the average Ameri-
can citizen. The big majority Of the
h~leacherites have ne respect for the
players, the patrons or the sport.-To-
ledo Blade.
1t is said that no club, not excepting
the Brooklyn National League club,
can win in Fort Wayne. The bleacher-
ties have the umpires bluffed TO perfec-
ton. Even the Fort Wayne Sentinel
admits that rotten umpiring on the
part of Caruthers caused Eddie Poole
to lose his game. The Sentinel also
says that Poole is without a better in
the Interstate. Fort Wayne is not so
bad when she gets away from home.
