Notes of the Diamond.
Livingston, Rock Islands released
second bascman, who has been i'll in
the hospital since he left the team. *
now able To be out, though he is look
ing rather thin.
The heavy rain this morning and
the threatening conditions this after
noon about the time for the usual
exodus from the city to the parki'rcn-
dered ii unwise, if not altogether i'm
possible to play. and the game was
called oil for the day.
The Bloomington Bulletin * con
WINGED that Mullaney is working for
his release, the supposition being
that if he is let go he will get a berth
in faster company.
Maj. Charles II. Barnes. L. :. A.. *
no longer a member of the Davenport
baseball team. He had Il brief career
in Davenport, being given trial in
two innings during last Sundays
game. That settled the majors lot
in Davenport. and today he was re
leased by Manager Hayes. 1t is I'M
derstood that he viii JON the Mis-
souri, league. Maj. Barnes has shown
himself to be fast in letter writing
but CORES pondingly slow in curves.
The ThrecEyc league is too fast for
him.-DavcnpOrt Leader.
Koff, new pitcher, who has been
burning up the amateur games
around Dixon, has reported at Rock
ford.
Manager Nicol gave Pitcher Calhoun
his release. The college man showed
well in several games, but of late had
been unable to pitch winning ball.
Umpire Ollie Conn has not quit He
has been given a leave of absence of
two weeks on the representation that
his condition is such from the effects
of a malarial attack that he needs
to be kept out of the sun for a time.
At the end of that time he viii have
to demonstrate to the league manage
ment that he is unable to work or he
will probably be suspended. Levin
son wants boost in salary, but he is
likewise under contract and if he
quits it is probable he will be sus-
pended and thus disqualified from
working in any other league, under the
agreement.
