Notes of the Diamond.
The Terre Hautc Baseball associa-
ton has sold Shortstop King to Col
orado Springs. There was deal by
which he was TO have gone to Evans
Vile in exchange for Catcher McKin-
ley, but it fell through. Second Base
man Walters. who jumped Terre
Haute with King, and. with him, was
thought to have gone on the black
list for playing with the California
outlaw league, was supposed to have
been sold to Pine Bluff, but at last
accounts he declined to report there.
The Decatur papers roast their
heavy hitting team for batting like
an old woman shooting chickens
during the recent series here. Now
it is just possible that the Rock Isl
and pitchers had something to do
with it,
The Springfield players, judging by
their actions yesterday, are a good
natured lot. After the first inning
when the story was told. they took
life easy
There were two freak plays yester-
day. One was made when Lyons, try
ing desperately To get away from an
in curve, got his bat in the way and
knocked a nice little one down to
Graham. The other was made on
Dryers high drive to Belt. Belt got
his mitt against it and hoisted il in
the atmosphere and when il came
down Ebright was under it.
We are now caught up with Davcn-
port, the city that aspires to second
place in the leaguc race. Now watch
for scurrying about on the other
side of the river.
Rock Islands percentage has not
looked SO prosperous for some little
time.
Wonder what the chances are of
our getting out of the second di-
vision?
Jameson has been released by Du-
buque for showing tendency To sulll.
According to the Sporting News the

counted the regular one.
ers has pitched for the Holyollc team
will be thrown out. The reason for
this is that "Rube" was only lent t"
the Holyoke team, and no big league
man may be lent to minor clubs, but
has to be sold.

and Burlington.
All eyes are on Bloomington and
Decatur now. for the result of the
series will probably decide the pen
nant race in this league. If Decatur
can follow up their line of victories
over the Boomers with the remainder
of the series of six now on between
the two towns it is likely that the
present leaders will be given a start
downward that will send them to sec
ond place Yesterday Jacobsen. con
sidered invincible, was beaten by
score of 1 to 0, Mullaney, who is back
in the game, making the hit that won.
Springfield has an aggregation of
ball players that ought to give any
thing in the league u merry chase.
Ball players. however, are not the on
ly requisite for a good team.
The Springfield Baseball association
with capital stock of $1,000 was
brought into legal existence yester-
day. papers being filed at Springfield.
