cetwiIer, Burdette, Mckee and Lever
ich Released 7 Old outfieId
Will Be Kept.

Four of the Islanders, Detwiler, Bur
dette, Mckee and Leverich, were let
go yesterday by Manager Cook. Det-
wiler, sthe midget third baseman, is
very good man, but cannot be compar-
ed with Mcbride. He handles him
self well, is quick and sure on his feet,
and will not be out of a job long Bur
dette, the candidate for the outfield, is
another good man, and it is only the
fact that the entire outfield from the
team of last year is still with us that
prevented him from hooking on here.
| Had he been little better with the
| bat, his chances would have been ma
lterially increased. Harry Mckee, the
pitcher, was also released as he has
not shown up to the form required
| for this league. Leverich was the 9TH
.r one let go. While the material for
the first sack has not proven entirely
satisfactory, it is thought that Trostle
| is better man than Leverich. Trostle
is still laid up with his game leg and
| will go home for week or Two TO rest
up and give the ligaments a chance
| to heal up.
| Clarence Ficken will leave tofnor-
lrow for Galesburg. He has been sign
| I'd by the team which represents that
city in the Illinois-MisSouri league
which was organized last fall His
chances for becoming one of the reg
ular staff of twirlers is considered
very good.

other features will be relay running

as bitter enemies as were the Apaches
and the whites. There will also be

to give the visitors an afternoon of
sport and the evening will witness one
of the biggest balls ever held in Ari-

athletic contests will be held in Drew's
park and it is mentioned that nobody
who has twenty-five cents need to
climb over the fence for he can secure
