Talk About Vickers.
 Holyoaze, July 14.-The Vickers case, which has been troubling the league for some time, is likely to bother the little heads of some of the big men on the circuit for time yet A meet ing of the league is still necessary be- fore this. matter is settled, and when another meeting is called it will be a pretty good idea for Jim OiRourke to see to it that all the directors are of icially notified. Roger Connor says he had no official notification of Fri day nights meeting, and Jimmie Can- avan had the same story. Incident ally they think up here in Holyoke that the Springfield manager Is doing the African dodger act rather than cast his vote on the question.
 O'Neill does not expect TO see the games won by Vickers thrown out. If they are finally dropped, he expects to have the games lost by the big pitcher dropped, too, and then he will be will ing to wager little roll with any manager of the league that Holyoke will win eight out of the twelve again. The Holyoke manager has asked about the men who are making rules unto
 
 the games Vickers won and say noth- ing about those he lost, but their au- thortty still remains to be discovered. He says also that he will, in case the games are thrown out, have Rube Vickers back on his staff with such clear title to him that even the Connec- ticut league directors will have to re- cognize 1t
 The Holyoke players have been hit. ting the ball hard during the past week and are sure to win games so long as they can keep up the clip. Batch, Rossman, Mccormack and Slater have been doing terrific hitting, and Landy is coming fast. The last named is also proving himseR good sacrifice hitter. McAndrews was the only man who failed to keep his pace with the hitters last week.
 Dan O'NeiI has been in the harness too long to be caught by lot of four hushers. He could disrupt this league in about two seconds if he felt so dis posed and some of the wiser ones of the bunch know it.
 Manage Barrows of Detroit has re- called Pitcher Kissinger from Toron- to. This case Is similar to that of Vickers and Holyoke. except that in the Eastern league nothing has been said about throwing out the games pitched by Kissinger, who won nearly all he figured in.
 Holyoke will have something to say anent farned players soon. Pat Prendeville says he will bet $loo that there are two teams in the league which cannot show titles to pitchers Quinn of Norwich is one of the men meant and Rogers of Meriden is be- heved to be the other.
 George Pennington, shortstop of the Fort Scott (kan) team, is credited with having made q triple play unas- sisted In a game at lola a few days ago. Pennington took hot line drive with the bases full, touched the man who had started from second to third, and then reached third and touched that bag before the runner who had started for home could return.
 Conny Danaher will probably learn after he has been connected with the Connecticut league for a few months that they do not do things in this league from a legal standpoint The venerable attorney of the league, who resides in Bridgeport, has established new code of laws It would take too much space to mention the various forms promulgated by this said attor- ney but as sample of one of them just think of that snap meeting after the vice-president had left for home. ~-~----~-------------------
