President Dutch Henry of the Sc
dalia baseball team was in this city
with mis- club for the past two days,
and before leaving handed Topeka this
| unsolicited compliment: 81 take off
my hat to Topeka in baseball. In one
| year your city has accomplished Won
| ders. Starting late in the season you
gether, have built the finest park in the
circuit, and are in the clear financial
ly- That is going some in my opinion.
Why it took me just 20 years in Sc
dalia, to get baseball started. All that
you have done in one single year. I
take off my hat to YOU" In speaking
of the present poor work of the Gold
Bugs, Mr.. Henry said: "It is one of
the results of having a pennant win
ming team last year. We started out
at the beginning, of the. season to win
everything in sight. The town got in
the winning habit Then we lost. Crit
icisms were made. Knocking COM
menced on some of the individual play
erS- This was kept up until it finally
resulted in our present condition If
the baseball patronage could only learn
not to knock a player if it cannot boost
him, it would prevent many and many
a slump. Eddie McDill, whom I have
just given to Topeka for Jack F'riel for
the remainder of the season is an ex-
ample of what I am talking about. He
is one of the best players in the bust
ness. But adverse criticism, in many
taken the heart out of the boy. I shall
have him back with me again next
year. He is a rafting good ball play
er. This change will do him good"
Jake Bauers, the crack hitter and cen
terfelder of the Sedalia. team will play
with Minneapolis in the American as
ISOLATION next year.
Again is Cy Stinson out in the cold
and unwarmed. OF his own accord he
handed in his Pittsburg suit the other
day and quit. He'll turn up again in
a day or two pitching for some team or
other over the league.
Harry Eels had a bad day with Kan
sas City in the American Association
on Wednesday. He performed in the
second game against Indianapolis, gave
ten bases on balls, and threw the ball
into the right field bleachers while try
ing to catch a man off first. He lost
his game by the score of six to three.
But out of his repertoire of curves the
Indiana visitors found but two which |
they turned into hits.
From the Kansas City Star: "Presi- |
dent Shively's Missouri Valley league |
is beginning to be recognized as a very |
efficient training school. The players |

Here is the final admission from the Re- |
