Tony Vanderbilt, Joplin's star
catcher, will be out of the hospital on
! Sunday. He was laid up with small
pox. His thumb is all right again, and
he is ready to handle the big NIT once
| more. Stewart will not be released,
but on the contrary the Miners will
carry two catchers.
This is about a man who wanted to
come to Topeka. From the Joplin
News Herald: Captain Baerwald was
very favorably impressed with the
work of Gus Wiser in the two games
that he will be retained. He played
one of the most brilliant games around
second base ever seen on the local
diamond. and besides making good
with the management. caught on at
once with the fans and bleacherites,
who at once dubbed him 'Spindles"
It is not commonly known. but SEES
sions, the Minneapolis American
league pitcher, is brother of Charles
the Kansas City Journal.
| The Oklahoma Times Journal must
be on the inside track too. It admits
that the slate for 1906 of the Western
association printed by the State Jour
nal last Monday is right, but makes
no comments.

From the Springfield Leader, on a
former Missouri Valley Lacquer:
Harry Kane has won fourteen straight
games for the Savannah team in the
South Atlantic league, and it is prob
able that he will be given a trial in
a major league next season. He has
mastered the spit ball, and what is
more to his credit has secured cons
troll of the ball and is a steady bog
man now, and not the erratic per-
former he was when he was the star
pitcher of the Springfield club.
Now the question arises: VIII
Jimmy Prick be able to displace
Johnny Kane at third base on the
Seattle team in the Pacific Coast
league? Kane is a fixture on the
team, but the manager desires to send
him to the outfield- Kane has been
playing a great game at third and is
near the top of the list of 800 batters.
Prick is good, but it is possible that he
will not be able 60 deliver the goods.
Sedalia Capital: Three Leavenworth
fans made their appearance on the
scene of battle here Tuesday and

culate among the followers of the
game here and even enticed some of
the Sedalia ball players to gamble
their hard-earned money on the game;
but, sad to relate, those same three
fans have departed for Leavenworth
about 5000 poorer, but-oh, SO much
\ wiser.
sedalia Sentinel: Topeka has released
and traded enough good ball players
