baseball Briefs.
Rock Island is gaining n reputation
for taking all the chances.
Pfeffer's grounder in the seventh
looked good for a hit any day, but
Miller was there.
Conwell got a pretty running
catch in right and Wilkinson did
likewise in left.
Miller was fined So yesterday for
kicking on balls and strikes while he
was at bat. Thornton met a like
fate when he undertook to raise an
objection on the same score.
Wonder what has become of all
those green caps we had last year.
Might dig up one or two in the in
terest of variety.
Manager Hayes, of Davenport, has
picked up an outfielder named Alter
man and an infelder named Johnson,
both from Allegheny, Pa.
After a loss of double-header at
Cedar Rapids yesterday afternoon
Manager Kennedy. of the Evansville
ball club, rendered his resignation to
President Bement, and the latter ac-
copied il and announced that the
team would be managed from the
bench until other arrangements are
made. AS far as known the five play
eFs Kennedy said would quit the team
should he resign as manager, are still
ON the pay roll of the club. Kenne-
iy's successor has not been chosen
evansville courier.
Donnelly was right in taking Case
out, but if he had done so a trifie
sooner we might have saved the
game.
The result of yesterdays contest
bears evidence to the fact that it is
unwise in baseball for the side that
has the bulge to let up till safe
lead has been obtained. Rock Island
had their opponents on the run in
the first inning and if a vigorous pur-
suit had been maintained more than
two runs should have been made.
Barr's running catch back of sec
ond and his quick double formed one
of the features of the game. Pretty
good for a man with game leg.
And he got hit, too.
1t wasn't Graham's fault that we
didn't win.
IL is reported that Evansville is
trying to secure McPhee, of Cincin-
natl, as manager.
A baseball item from Rockford
says: "Nicol does not like to see a
| pay day come. His men are always
receiving offers and are liable to
jump when they draw all they have
coming. Several clubs want Beulow
and he can leave most any time he
takes a notion. So Nicol, although
he has a fast and winning bunch,
finds that a baseball manager has his
worries and troubles always with
him.
