ly that Catcher Sullivan who has re-
| joined the team will act as manager
until the big Lacquer, about whom the
new owners have been talking is
| landed-that is if he is.
E. W. Dickerson, sporting editor of
the Denver News takes a fall out of
| Manager Jones and the Denver team
| in general Dick figures that the
| greatest trouble is the lack of anoth-
er pitcher, and a good catcher. The
CT 1b he AYERS has both in Gillen and
! Zalusl1y, who have been under Sus-
pension all season for a trivial Of
Tense. Then too he accuses Jones of
going after individual records too
much. Jones is rather an individual
| ist than a worker for the team,
and this isn't helping the Cubs one
| bit. There is less inside baseball in
the Denver players than in any
| other team in the league. little
more Judicious base running would
do wonders with that club, and the
acquisition of Gillen and Zalusky
would give the club an experienced
catcher besides another pitcher to re-
lieve Adams and Bohannon of all the
work. The fans doubtless would APP
preciate the waving of the suspen-
sion.
Lincoln News: The manager of the
Stanton, Neb., club has written to the
Lincoln management recommending
tryout for Pitcher Hartman, who has
been burning up the tall grass in
northeast Nebraska this summer.
Hartman had a tryout with Denver
early in the spring, but says he was
cast adrift before he had a chance to
get into condition. Hartman is a giant
in physique and stands six feet and
four inches.
The Sunday game between Lincoln
and Des MOines will be played at st.
Joseph. Monday, which is an off date
for the Lincoln bunch, will be used
for an exhibition game with Atch-
iSon.
Marvin Hockenberry. here with the
Links on their first appearance, has
been released by the Burlington club,
the illinois, Missouri league.
The Denver Republican comes to
the front with a runor of Mike Sex
ton for president of the National
League. Sexton is probably as ably
fitted for this big job as any man in
the minors today. He was formerly
president of the Western League, hav-
ing resigned when Tip O'NeiIl was
given the portfolio.
Rochelle, Washington's contribution
to the Omaha pitching staff, has ar
rived and is working for Pa now.
Sioux City Journal: The trade |
whereby Manager Holmes was to re- |
ceiYe Outfielder Jude, of Lincoln. in |
exchange for Tommy Campbell. evil
IDENTIFY has fallen through, as Camp |
bell who spent Sunday in Sioux City, |
was ordered yesterday to report to |
the Packer chief at Omaha. Jude, it |
is understood, is not in condition to /
play, and Holmes probably called off /
the exchange.
Lincoln News: Catcher Jimmy Sui
Hvan, who has been looking them
over for several days down in the
Kansas state league, has been sum-
moned home and is due to arrive
in time for the opening
game of the series with Des Moines
Sully writes that he hasn't seen any
although he observed |
one infielder who looks to be worthy
of trial in faster company. He will
wait until tomorrow to take a look
at pitcher who has been touted as
one of the best in that neck of the
woods and will then hike for Lincoln
