The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1906-06-05

III ralned yesterday anu the INDIANS
and Holsters from Nation did not
play Both teams we've out in uni
foim but the rain began before either
side began to warm up and continued
until O'Clock. Umpire Bush waited
until after the usual thirty minutes
and then called mo game"
There were few fans in the grand
stand and there was little dissatisfac-
ton among those who went out. The
Indians hoped to take the third game
and mali it two out of three, and
Big Freddie Miller was slated to work
for the Warriors. "Roundhouse"
Mccarthy was slated to throw 'em for
the Holsters and it would have been
a hot game.
The break in the schedule caused
by Mother Nature gave the writer
time to sort 'er look over the situa-
ton" and do some figuring. Looking
at the team standing the chances of
any team in the league for winning the
rag Is good. In fact nothing can
really be told about the comparative
ST. ength of the teams
Tho Indians, for instance started
out as they did last season, taking in
everything that came their way. They
seemed well up in team work and 1t Is
TO the Indians credit that the best
team work is chalked. They all give
the Indians credit for this, but they
say they are weak with the stick. The
Ipdians seemed to be pretty strong
hltters at the beginning. but 1t has to
be admitted that some have fallen
down. and there is room for better
ment In this department.
Nation is at the bottom, but II
form shows for anything the Holsters
will not be there long. They have
good ''stickers" among them and dur
ing the last games here have shown
wonderful improvement in team work
In fact, no fault can be found with
the team work. The players are all
strong and Nation looks anything
but tail-ender
Danyille had bad luck in the outset
but Is now at the top. Vincennes lost
some OF her chances of getting a good
lead by having TO take to the road be-
fore the Indians did. Cairo also
played the first few series with a Grip |
pied team and is now playing good |
fast bail. Jacksonville also is show
Ing better form and the new Illinois |
towns will make hard fight for the
pen nant.
AS II Is the teams are well punched |
and little can be told of what will be
the outcome of the next fifteen games.
II would not be such remarkable
feat for some of the tail-enders to go
10 the top, and the Kitty league re-
suits are as uncertain as some of the
stunts pulled of in the Cairo Bulletin
office, when "His Jaggs," ''King"
FaFnbaker, takes on a fresh pill and
begins seeing things through the halos
CT smoke.
Expert accountants in this partlcu-
lar branch OF figuring arc at a pre-
mism, and no one seems to be willing
to mako a venture.
Dan Wright. big strapplng
twirler from the wilds of Ohio state,
is here and has spread on war paint. ,
He looks like valuable addition to
the staff Of throwers. but has yet to
show his gait. Those who know him n
say he is ''there with the goods" and
Wright, IL he is right" will show the
Jacksonville "Go-Betweens" some
thing to 20 to bed and sleep over.
Today the bunch that squlrted to-
baeco juice and did everything else
unbecoming gentlemen when the In
dams visited Jacksonville, is here.
Three straight defeats set the Co
Betweens' TO thinking and the best
way to get out of the situation was to
tell a cock and bull story about the
kentuckians and their moonshine
liquor and big guns. The joke took
