Blanks VS.. Duplex tomorrow.
The Cowboys are gradually increasing
their lead and are just now putting up tho
best game of any OF the teams.
Clum, who was leading the league In bat
ting several weeks ago. has struck big
slump lately and Is now well down the list.
Laframbois covers a vast amount OF ter
ritory around second base and is easily the
best feeling second sacker in this league
Both Drum and j. Link.ns continue to do
good work In the outfleId. neither having
made an error in thirteen games.
Now that Duplex has broken losse from
the hoodoo and Speer is in form again. it
Is expected that the team will make a bid
to get out of last place.
If wild Bur Nevins could only improve
his batting he would be a very valuable
man to the Duplex team. as he is fast on
his feet and covers large amount OF ter
ritory in the outfield.
Since Tyson has moved around from third
to the second cushion his playing has inn
proved 80 per cent, as he is more sure OF
his throws to first and has gained con-
ndence at the bat.
Speer is about the best batting pitcher IN
the league. his average being close 10 tho
400 mark, and increasing with every game.

row down at the bottom of the batting list.

over 400 all season and hammers out his
two and three safeties every game.

game last Tuesday when he got his third
70 of 10 contest he had had a
bad slump in batting for the last five or
six games and needs all he can get
When ]. Herbert dropped Conroy's high
fly in last Tuesdays game he made his first
error OF the season. He has put up SEN
sational game at second for the Duplex
team In every game ne has participated in
and Is one of the leagues best infelders-
Arends is very fast man on his Feet ana
every game beats out one or two hits 10 the
infield that slower man would be out on
On the bases he shows good judgment and
seldom goes through game without one
or more stolen bases to his credit.
The art of laying the ball down for sac
ritice hits has not been developed 10 any
degree of efficiency in this league, as II IS
seldom tried. Generally with a man on
first the batter tries to kill the ball and
It usually results in his knocking the bail
to the outfeld or hitting into double play
