DOPE FOR THE FANS.

Swain, of Dubuque, holds the league
strikeout record with 90 in nine games.
He has been beaten but once-by
Blooming ton-though the game that he
essayed to save here when It was tied
in the ninth and Rock Island won, may
rightfully be chalked up against him.
Ed Kinsella has enough of Blooming
ton He will never go back to that
burg to play ball. he says, because the
agreement that he was to receive one
fourth of the purchase price in case he
was sold was not lived up TO by the
club.
Decatur Review: We'uns down here
can't be led to believe that Hank Wal
ters really wants to play with Bloom
ington.
1t is reported that a row delayed the
game at Dubuque yesterday. No won
der. with old Mike Lawrence holding
the indicator.
Roxy Walters is laid up with an in
jured left arm, the result of street
car colliding with a tally-ho at Spring
field the other day.
1t has been decided by the Central
league to increase the number of men
that may be carried by each team
from IA TO Is men including the man
ager.
Peoria is figuring on getting another
right fielder and keeping Thiery only
