Red Davis is having a great deal of
trouble with his ankle He injured
1t in the game Sunday sliding into the
plate in the ninth inning. 1t is his
old trouble which kept him out of the
game part of the time in 1906. He
was out of Mondays game and in yes

for hits because Red couldn't run fast
enough to get under them.

Emory Olson robbed Hurlburt of a

The Cooleysox have taken FIVE out
of the nine games played so far. An
even break this afternoon will give
the locals better than majority while
both would look, pretty good for being
on the road. Any team that breaks
even on the road can win the pennant.
Twenty-three hits il the record for one

Walter Queisser has been ordered to
rejoin the Joplin team and take a
regular turn in the box for the
Miners. About three years ago
Queisser was considered about the
best northpaw in this brush. Two
years ago he got sick and was out OF
condition while with Leavenworth.
During the 1906-07 alternating sea-
son he was traded to Joplin and
couldn't get into form. Consequently
he was given a lay or and allowed to
go to his home in Indianapolis. About

The season is pretty well along at
the present time and many of the
papers over the circuit are framing
their guesses on an all-star team for
the association. These gueSses are
variegated and all SAVIOR of home
prejudice. For some positions there is
a dearth of material to select from
while in other positions there is a
superabundance. The association this
season is weak on catchers. There
are no Weavers, Henrys or Seabaughs.
Probably the best catcher in the
league today is a youngster, George
Kelsey of the Oklahoma City team.
Kelsey is a poor hitter, but in the
catching department he hardly has an
equal. Although young. he is heady,
coaches the pitchers in good shape,
and his pegging to bases is good. KEEL
sey won't hit very high on the season S
record but he gets his bingles in the
pinches. And in getting on the bases
he is quite an adept. Vanderbilt OF
Springfield is a good catcher but has
passed the meridian of his career and
is going back. Queisser of Wichita has
too many passed balls. Freese OF
