PLANTATION ii will have to offer for the
loss by its team of yesterdays game
to Rock Island. In its venom and
clannishness the Times Monday stat
ed that Umpire Brennan deserved to
be mobbed. Not content with venting
its spleen on the umpire, the Times
proceeded to shoulder the blame for
the Outcome of the game ON Presi-
dent Sexton. In view of Mr. Sexton
not having been here for two weeks
and the extreme partiality of Bren-
nan towards the Davenport team
throughout the series preceding the
one in which Rock Island was engag-
ed, leading many here to hope that
pressure might be brought TO have
the umpire removed before the local
team arrived to meet the Iowa aggrc-
CATION, the absurdity of the Times
statement is plain. There is no doubt
that Davenport had been coaching
Brennan right along for the series
with Rock Island. but D0nneIly and
his players went into Saturdays

home umpires could not have pulled
out victory for Davenport. Sunday

Pitcher Barney Petty
Signs Life Contract

The st. Louis Globe-Democra+ thus
tells the story of the romance that
has soon followed the elevation of
Pitcher Barney Petty from the Cedar
Rapids team in the ThreeEye to fast
er company:
Barney Petty, the young pitcher re-
Gently acquired by the st. Louis
Browns, signed up for life yesterday,
with Miss Eva Warsing, of Farming
ton, Mo. Yesterday morning they
procured a license and within an hour
afterwards were married by Justice
Bobby Carroll Despite the master
full tact employed by Petty, news of
his marriage leaked ont on the dia-
mond, while his colleagues were cross
ing bats with the nine from Cleveland
in double-header, and to this an
nouncement may be attributed the
victory the Browns scored over the
visiting nine. Petty was on the
grounds, but did not play, being ex-
cused because he pleaded illness.
However, after the games were
over he informed Manager james r..
McAleer of his marriage, and in con-
sequence was almost overwhelmed by
the congratulations of this gentleman
and other members of the Browns.
Petty is well liked by all the players
and has already been declared sure
winner by the fans. He was requisi-
toned by the Browns from the Three
Eye league, off a nine at Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa, where he was doing the
work of veteran player. -----,
