The Enid team will open for q three
game series tomorrow. Parson Frants
is at the helm Of the infantiles this
time and is doing as we'll as could be
expected with the material which he
has at hand. Parson is a deserving ball
player and the fans would like to see
the Enid team wake up and ascend the
pennant ladder little ways But
please, Mr.. Parson, don't do 1t at our
expense for we need all the games
right now.
President Baker recently received an
offer for Eddie Noyes from a team In
the Three Eye league. Baker refused
the offer. And he kept one OF his best
players when he did SO.
There is more than a germ of truth
in the following from the Oklahoma
City Times: Setley is by far the best
umpire in the Association and IL Shive-
ly had q few more Hike him and tied
the can to such as Alloway the league
would be much better OF. 't
The Joplin News-Herald is Of the
opinion that the much touted Charles
Brooks. the young outnelder, is shy Of
western Association class.
Joplin has signed new pitcher and
one is badly needed If the Miners keep
in the race. The new man is Beltz, a
youngster of southeastern Missouri.
who has been burning up the amateur
circuit. He pitched four no hit games
this season. .~- a-r- =

players were of q cheerful disposition
such as Bandy instead of crabs with
which the ranks OF professional base
bali players is teeming.
Manager Jack Mcconnell, of the Nets,
rejoined his hired hands yesterday. af-
ter having been away for over ten days
His presence, however. failed to win
games.
The three left hand pitchers of the
Nets have been used in the present
series. Today Folbre may repeat. but
it is more than likely that McClntock.
the right handler who recently held the
Midgets hitless will work. He has
worked in two games against the To-
Gals and won them both.
The injury to Umpire Setley.. while
painful is not serious, and the physi-
terrain hopes of his being able to work
in a day or two. It Is hardly. likely
that he will work before tomorrow. but

Lanky Bob Mccormick looks like one
of the real outflelders in the league.
He hits the ball hard and is mighty
dangerous in the pinches, being about
the best pinch swatter or the Nets. He
is the only outfielder of the Nets who
