that team in front of a league that has

hit g. two Dagger a three Dagger and a
single out of five times up.
Hickey, the third baseman with the
Guthrie team last year, is playing
third for Little Rock this season. The
team is in a rut and is a bad tail enGer.
but Hickey is playing good ball and
made four hits in a game this week.
Billy Dammann's hard luck is still

that the people here approved of the

that the tOWr has & good bunch and

doubt. be sold to the New York Nation

Kelley is said to have the speed of
rifle ball, the control of a stump speak

Reeds he famed Il men. at Sarcoxie IS

more than five hits in single game

Captain Aubrey Crocker, 50 years old,
one of the best known yachting shippers
in America, died there yesterday of
Bright's disease. In 1884 he was chosen
to sail the Puritan and remained on
this boat for some years afterwards. He

He has figured in almost every import

moments that team was in the lead and
before they took q slide to the fourth
place in the association: Poor old
Springfield IS steadily drifting toward
the bottom of the percentage column of
the Western Association. in which place
they finished last season. From the
present formation of the Topeka bunch,
and the pitching staff of that club. the
chances are very bright for Topeka to
be keeping them company as was the
case last season when Topeka and
Springfield tied for last place hOnors.
When Springfield is winning it is one
of the hardest teams to beat, but few
defeats puts Dutch" Persch and the
other crabs Of the Midget lineup to the
