Diamond Notes
Gus Dorner, last year with Decatur
and now slab artist for the Cleveland
American league team, yesterday
contributed to the undoing of the Chi
cage White Socks, being put in after
the first inning and holding Chicago
down to four small hits and no runs
after that time, his team winning 4
to l. He got himself in bad hole at
one time, but succeeded in pulling
out. Dorner has been on the bench
most of the time this season, but has
pitched parts of two games recently
and did good work in both.
Hackett. formerly with Terre Haute
and now playing first for the ST. Louis
Cardinals, gets complimentary notices
for the manner in which he played in
losing contest at Chicago yesterday.
The new blue pants for the local
baseball team arrived this morning
and were distributed. They will be
used on the road if ii ever quits rain

Bobby" Cox is busy down at Nash
ville,. as the following clippings from
papers of that city indicate: Robert
A. Cox. of Rock Island. the new UNI
pire who succeeded Sandy McDermott,
is a quaint specimen of the human
race. but he is baseball umpire with
all his heart. He takes life quite
seriously while he holds the Indicator
i'm his right hand. much to the delecta-
ton of the fans. He was enroute to
Birmingham to take Umpire Mace's
place, when he was ordered to stop
on mere. L III pre- OOA SlSlldl-
lied his first appearance on a south
ern league diamond by dining Lowney
and Wiseman So each for kicking
against decisions. He was more or
less justified in filming Lowney as Doe
was probably wrong and had no bust
ness 10 beef anyway, but the alleged
strike that cost Wiseman a ball was
about II feet away from the plate
and n saint would have been justified
on kicking at such a wierd and won
derful decision as Cox made"
The Peoria and Milwaukee Western
league teams are now tied up
at Manhattan. Kans.. on their way to
Peoria to open a series.
Decatur has a new first baseman,
George Kuhn. of Green Bay, Wis.
John Desmond, the pitcher released
by Decatur, has been picked up by
Dubuque.
Kennedy. the fast Businessman of
the Rockford team. who was formerly
with Davenport, will not be in this
league much longer. He came from
the region of Duluth and the Wiscon-
surprised at his work because they
knew what he was capable of doing.
Duluth has n claim on him and Far
rell has decided that he must report
there for duty. His removal from the
Rockford team will be distinct loss
to Nicol as the little manager recog-
nized in him a very competent ball
