IN THE KINKS.

Dan Daly, Formerly of This City, Get | ting Some Hard Raps.
 Jason, who was released to give the
 unfortunate Dan Daly place in Mun- cfe few weeks ago, received a gold watch from his admirers out west. That's a timely balm.
 | Elwoods first defeat at the hands
 of Lowell came near resulting in a smash-up of Roberts galaxy. The next day 1t was rumored around Elwood that every man on the team with the exception of Grandpa John was look ing for his release. Elwood claims to have Dutch | Wodtke on it's membership roll for next year. There is even talk that he may do a scott before the close of the present season should the Durbin-Se- bern outfit need his invigorating pres ence to shy off the Quakers of Rich mond.-Lowell Citizen.
 During the last forty-eight hours the air has been full of all kinds of ru- mors to the effect that the Grays had practically disbanded as a result of the defeat Tuesday night. About every man on the team was reported at some time or another to have thrown up his job and demanded his release. Man. ager Sebern stated this morning that these reports were entirely without foundation, and that the Grays will be on hand tonight, every man of them, to administer another defeat to the ambitious five from Richmond. They can do it.-Elwood Record.
 The highly footed. much abused Dan Daly has been released by the Muncie }, of the first calibre, but he did not show it in Muncie. Polo players in the west say that Daly, with the right rusher, would set the polo scribes working on extra editions. For Daly there is much sympathy, but for the Muncie press there is nothing but criticism. As soon as the news of Daly being signed reached Muncie, so did the pennant in the columns of the Muncie Times and Star Those two papers had the pen nant cinched. Every game after Daly's coming was to be victory, but facts show it was not. Nine straight games have been lost with Daly in the game. The laugh is not on Daly, but on the Muncie press.-Richmond Sun-Tele- gram.
 A conference of the Western league
 
 other day and after heated argument and vigorous protests from Henley of Richmond and Norton of Anderson, it was decided to allow the Lowell team to finish the season for Muncie. tel egram from Racine was received re- leasing the blacklist on Tibbitts. thus removing that serious obstruction. A number of qualifications were added to the Lowell transfer which makes 1t less of a concession than 1t seemed at first. In the first place, while Manager Petty Is allowed to use the former Lowell team in its entirety while 1t may finish the season under Muncie colors, any game played by that organ ization can be protested by any man ager. The interpretation of this is plain. Muncie's new representatives fight their way mp into the second berth, disp1acing Richmond loud pro- test will go up which will be promptly allowed. However. if Muncie stands in third or fourth place the chances are likely that no protests will be made. Another provision is that Higgins and Cusick must be handed over to In- dianapo1is to finish the season with the Indians. These conditions being agreed to, the Lowell transfer was al- lowed in the interests of the game.
