Wichita, Aug. 31.-The Eagle says:
Frank Isbell, second baseman for the
Chicago White Sox, worlds baseball
champions. returned to his home in
Wichita last night to recuperate from
injuries received Monday when he was
spiked in the hand by his team mate,
Pat Dougherty. The affair was en-
tirely accidental. but the wound was
serious enough that Frank was or
dered out of the game indefinitely.
Frank returned to Wichita in order
that he might be home with his wife
during the period of inactivity, and at
the same time take a good look at the
Wichita baseball team, of which he is
now the principal owner.
Last night a reporter for the Eagle
called upon Mr.. Isbell. He was lying
in the hammock, holding his favorite
bulldog in his lap. The bulldog was
the first one to meet him at the train
when. he arrived in Wichita, and was
so glad to see him that it almost tore
his clothes off.
81 don't expect to get back in the
game again this season - said the ex-
plumber and worlds champion second
baseman- IF the Sox win the Ameri-
can League pennant, and am sure
they Will, will go back to Chicago to
take part in the worlds series.
The only team that stands in the
way OF the Sox for the American
league pennant is the Detroit team.
We have beat them nine out of the
twelve games played SO far this sea-
SON. They are easy for US, and as we
soon have ten games to play, I look
to see the Sox take them down the
lima.
mo, I will not play with Chicago
next year. I will play right here in
Wichita. 1 am sure that President
Comiskey will give his consent to my
playing on my own team down here,
and If he doesn't will just stay here
and run the team from the bench. One
thing Is certain. and that is, that /

Edgar Willett Is still with Detroit,
but he hasn't had a chance to do any
thing lately. Jennings wanted to sell
him to a minor league and asked the
clubs to give waivers on him, but Pres
tdent Comiskey refused to do so. He
said that if Jennings wanted to turn
Wiliett loose he could use him on the
White Sox."
When asked what he thought about
Wichita's chances for getting into the
Western league next season, Isber de-
clined to discuss the situation. you
see I don't know how things stand
down here and don't want to talk
about something on which I have no
