The Jobbers will have to give up
Roy Bevis. Columbus is already dick
ering with him for next year. The
fast ex-Topekan can hit and field with
the head and baseball brains. Hank
Gehring will also be absent from his
accustomed place in the Windy City
lineup next year. Minneapolis owns
here temporarily. Some few days ago,
Manager Kimmel received word from
Watkins to produce Hank upon call.
Halla and Prick, the general choice
of the fans of the men who might adj
vance from Oklahoma City, are al
ready gone. So there is but one left
and that il Arlo Scoggins. He can hit
and field with the headliners, but lacks
little on base running ingenuity, and
it takes some of the latter to be sue
understand said bud Risley a few
weeks ago, chow in the name of con-
science Arlo hasn't gone up before. I
think this will be his last year with US,
however" Hurlburt is batting re-
markedly but like Lazotte he is slow
on bases and unlike the Topeka hitter
he is hard to manage.
Guthrie can produce but one man to
receive a diploma. He is Benny Hen
derson. The lanky pitcher has already
received an invitation to attend the
workout of the Indianapolis team next
spring and show what he can do. Just
the other day the Guthrie papers were
quaking for fear he might yet be called
to the Hoosier city this fall. Benny
has been up before, with Omaha in
the Western league, at the same time
that Red Downs and Jimmie Bayless
were there. Dalrymple, one of the
old timers, is playing in remarkable
form, but he has had his day in the
big leagues.
On Saturday afternoon Secretary

White Sox were standing at Sixth and
Kansas avenue discussing the "situa-
ton" A well dressed man, about
three sheets in the wind, fluttered up
to Logan and called him aside. 'Hic,
shay" he said grabbing at Logans
coat lapels for support, guess you
don't know who I am. Hici I'm
Bradley, third baseman for the Cleve-
land Americans. Hici Shince Lajoie's
got hurt, m been runnin' the team.
But Vincent, an this here Bemis been
maxim all sorts of trouble fer me. I
amt goin' to put ND with it any more.
HE. Me to the outlaw. Come have a
drink" Logan replied: 81 don't
drink Wont you have a cigar ?"
asked the drunken one. Nope" an
swered Logan, haven't time" "All
right. ole pal" was the reply,
me here. S SIC The 'n nexf o morn STm
ing Logan picked UP the sporting page
of a newspaper and saw that Bradley
had played in Boston the day previous
with Cleveland.
Brick Owens began his career as
an American association umpire at
Toledo on Sunday. The Toledo News
Bee has these comments on his work:
The new umpire, Owens broke into
the association yesterday and did good
work. He worked both games from
behind the bat and used excellent
judgment on balls and strikes. He has
a fog-horn voice and knows how to
use it.
Owens showed his inexperience in
association affairs by demanding q
white ball every time a new one was
needed. President Grillo kept sending
up black spheres. but Owens would
not have it and went over and helped
himself. Later in the game he EVIL
IDENTIFY became reconciled to the dusky
pill, for he did not make any objec-
tons when they were sent up to him.
Umpire Owens called the second
game in the tenth inning when there
was plenty of light to play. Perhaps
he was sore over the black BAH episode.
