Iowa State league with the OskaIoosa
team, where he batted .269 and field

team in time to take part in the second
game the team played at second. Tex
fairly set the fans on fire by getting
home run in the ninth inning. He also
folded his position in great shape.
Texas umpired in this circuit last year
and got away with his life and the good
will of the fans in general. Besides be-
ing the second Sacker of the team he is
the chief sachem in the domestic life of
the team and is also the leader Of the
Webb City baseball glee club. He knows
everything in the music line from Mary
Had a Little Lamb" to "Parsifar' and
his rendition of the Holy City is superb.
Clarence Cole who started out so good
in the anteseason games with the Jop-
lin Miners and fairly set them on fire
with his hitting for a few games has
now dropped off so much in his hitting
that they are sending Walter Queisser
in to bat for him in the ninth inning.
Blausser, one of Webb City's new men,
comes from Cairo, ILL.,, where he played
last season with the Cairo team in the
Kittys League. He played third and short
and batted .294 besides fielding .921. If
he can hit that pace in this league he

worked with Hutchinson last season,
is now managing the Winnipeg team
in the Northern Copper league.
Last season twenty-seven games
were played in the associate before a
single team had to lay off on account
of rain. 1t is quite different this sea-
son.
Whatever else may be said of the
Wichita team it must be admitted that
they have a good outfeld. Milan, Mac
Lear and Bayless look pretty good in
the outer gardens. They are fair hit

runners.
Bob Groom who for two years
worked with the Springfield team in
this league is now with the Portland
team in the Pacific Coast league. This
team is the weakest in that circuit this
nant last season. So far Groom has
not got away very good and seems to
be awfully shy on control. However,
he is worth giving chance. as he
made a fine showing in the Western
association last season after starting
out losing the first seven straight
games he pitched.
Erloff. the left fielder of Dalrymple's
bunch, is also a catcher and is the sub
