hard rub to retain second position in
the Western association pennant race.
Gilbert was handed his release yes

games since he has been with the
White Sox- He seems TO have fair
repertoire of goods but does not use
them judiciousIy and hence has trou-

is thinking of going to Kansas City,
seeking a tryout with the Burke ag

the present home series. Guthrie has
bad looking eye, but is otherwise
all right, Notwithstanding his recent
fracas with the Webb City team.
Guthrie was hardly treated fair in
that city especially when he was ar
rested for trouble that was not caus-
ed by himself and then after being
placed behind the bars was refused
medical attendance. He is young, but
gives promise of being about as good
as they make them in this brush. He
has the nerve and that is more than
can be said for majority of indica-
tor handlers.
Pitcher Jerry buchanan, of the
Oklahoma City team, has been re-
leased and has returned to his home
in Little Rock. Buchanan seems to
have nearly everything a pitcher ever
did have, but is unable to get away
with the goods and was released be-
cause of his hard luck. In his place

Downs. They said last year when they
got him from the bushes that he was
breaking the back field fences out
west with his extra base hitting. He's
living up to his reputation with a |
vengeance. When he hits the ball it |
goes on a straight line way to the
outfield. It's not to be expected that |
Jerry should be way up in the batting
average, for he has not been in |
