There is a great deal of dissatis
faction among the fans about the
right garden. II is said that Lloyd
plays the field because he has to, 1t
being no choice of his. The manage
ment and not Lloyd is to blame and
the roasting received at the hands of
several Fans yesterday was very dis
couraging and not at all deserved by
Lloyd II there is any roasting to be
done because of Lloyd playing the
field, the management and not Lloyd
should be blamed.
Bittorlff, the spit BALI pitcher of
the Egyptians. is forging ahead and
will give pitchers in the Kitty league
a hard run for first place in the pitch
ing averages. Bittorff has proved
stumbling block to the Indians and
he is also tripping up other teams in
the league.

BILLY" Sudhoff, who was with the
Paducah boys in the Central league
in 81, and with Bowling, shared the
affections of the rooters of that year,
is evidently deterlorating. He went
to the st. Louis Nationals from here
and played winning ball with that
team and then the ST. Louis Ameri-
cans, last year winning a pitchers
battle with the "only" Cy Young, of
the Boston champion world heaters.
Yesterdays dispatches bring the
news that he has been traded to In
annapolis.

Mud wallowers Take Two.

Cairo. ILL.,. July 12.-The Kolbites
are still doinE the toboggan act and
are hitting the slide pretty hard.
The Mud wallowrs took two yester-
day and II is said the games were no
"laid down affairs" either. Count
Bonno pitched both games and 1t
was not duplicate of last year when
he was with the Indians, by any
means. The new bunch of Mud
Wallowers seem to be ON to the
"Count's'' curves, and gave II to him
strong and right from the shoulder
yesterday.

Lajoie, the great manager of the
Cleveland American League team.
which has been giving the Chicagos
the most spectacular pennant fight
in years, may never play bali again.
For the third time the famous ball
player has gone under the knife and
reports from his bedside are any
thing but encouraging.
At the earliest I.ajoie will not be
able to get back in the game for a
month. This is in case everything
goes smoothly and the mend is
steady.
II is feared. however. that he will
not be seen in the diamond again
this year.
A pint of pus was removed from
the injured ankle when the third
operation was performed. Lajoie
was in a high fever at the time.
Lajoie is one of the greatest ball
players who ever appeared on a dia-
mond and has thousands OF admirers
in every part of the country. This
year he was made manager of the
Cleveland team, and has proven him
self to be possessed of as great ex-
ecutive as playing ability. His en-
forced absence from the game at this
time may cost the Cleveland team
the peHEaBt,- for which they have
been fighting Chicago spirltedly for
several weeks.
