BASEBALL GOSSIP.
NV Tort
(By Tort.J

Manager Jessup states that his
team will be reinforced by the addi-
ton of Pitcher Yingling of the Day
ton Central league outfit, who has
been sold to the Detroit Americans.
Yingling is said to be one of the most
promising recruits that the Central
league developed last season
1t was announced in the Palladium
Sunday that the All Star American
Association team would play here this
week. This is a mistake. The team
that plays here Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday is the Cincinnati All
Stars, strong outfit made up Of
minor leaguers. This team will line
up as follows:
Benny, first base
Bateman, second base.
Barton, shortstop.
Tiemyer, third base.
Prautt, left field
Decker. center field.
Maloney, right field.
Nippert, catcher.
Hollis, pitcher.
Pullman, pitcher.
Bushelman, pitcher.
Turner, pitcher.
Bateman will be well remembered
by the local fans. He played here in
the palmy days of Bill Earles Entire
Nous team. Nippert has also been
seen here frequently. He is now play
ing in the o. P. league. Benny is the
manager of the Medicine Hat team.
Canadian league champions. Barton
is the shortstop on the Baltimore
Eastern league team. Tiemyer played
the past season with the ST Paul Am
erican Association team. Maloney was
with South Bend this season. Deck.
err and Prautt are we'll known minor
league stars. Pullman was formerly
with the New York Nationals but last
season he pitched for Louisville in the
American Association. The other
three twirlers are minor leaguers 1t
can be seen that the All Stars have a
fast lineup and there will be some
great base ball at Athletic park Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday.
Manager Jessup hopes to secure the
Connersville team as the attraction
at Athletic park the coming Sunday
1t is quite probable that this fast
team will be secured Connersvilie

All May Be Tried in the City
Court Some Time Dur
ing This Week.
BOLLAND CASE TUESDAY.
KEPLER MAY BE PUT ON TRIAL
AGAIN ON URSDAY-FRANk
ScHROEDER'S CASE is THE
THIRD ONE.

Three assault and battery cases will
be tried this week in the city court. 1t
is thought that all of these cases will
be tried before a jury. Tuesday VIII
liam Bolland will be tried for assault
and battery on Frank Smith at the Ak
ron hotel a week ago, Sunday. On the
afternoon the assault was made Boil
land was placed under arrest and he
has been confined in the city Jail ever
since Smith is rapidly recovering
from his injuries and will be able to
appear in court Tuesday as prosecuting
witness.
1t is probable that Alonzo Kepler will
be tried a second time Thursday. Mr.
Kepler is charged with assault and bat
terry on Mrs. William Evans. a Cuban
woman residing with her husband on a
farm south of this city. The jury dis
agreed when he was given his first
hearing last Friday. Attorneys T. j.
Study and j. F. Robbins for the de-
Tense, claim that the jury stood 10 to
for acquittal, but Prosecutor Jessup
anG Attorney H. U. Johnson state that
they have been informed the jury stood
. to 3 for conviction. AS the jury
men pledged themselves not to give out
the result of their balloting, it is i'm
possible to learn how the jury really
did stand.
Some day this week Frank Schroeder
will probably be tried on charge of
assault and battery on Henry Essen,
who is brother-in-law of Schroeder.
Issen was assaulted several days ago
and has been a serious condition as a
result of the beating he received. He
is said to be recovering rapidly at the
present time and will be able some time
this week to appear in the city court
against Schroeder. The details Of this
fight have not been given out. but it is
that the assault was the re-
suit of family troubles.
