Decision.

ington of the Louisville club has pro-
tested the second game of Sundays

field. Hughes and Packard had cross

NEW COAST LEAGUE.
Organization Being Planned to En-
brace Outlaw Circuit.

San Francisco, Aug. 3.--An agree
ment whereby scores of well known
baseball players, now under the stig-
ma of affiliation with outlaw leagues,
will be restored to good standing, has
been discussed and practically decid-
ed upon by the directors of the Pa
eific Coast League.
Henry Berry of Los Angeles.
Charles Graham of Sacramento and
President j. Cal. Ewing of this city
favor the creation of a class ''C''
league for California. to include the
six teams of the California State
League, an outlaw, and two additional
teams.
The minor league. according to the
plans, will be conducted under the
supervision of the Coast League and
will be used as a farm" for the de-
velopment of players needed by the
larger organization. 1t is suggested
that the new league be composed of
teams representing San Jose, Stock
ton, Fresno, Sacramento. Santa Cruz,
Oakland, Vallejo and Napa.

Sioux City Journal: Manager
"Ducky'' Holmes has closed Il deal
for new pitcher. Eli Gates, late of
the Washington American league club
and of the Minneapolis American as
ISOLATION club. Gates played on the
Pacific coast last season and was
drafted by the Washington club. He
twirled twelve games for the Senators
this season and won four, not bad
record III that fast organization with
a tail end club. Later. as the result
of a mixup with Mike Cantillon. Gates
was suspended from the Minneapolis
club and was sent to Winona in the
Minnesota league. which is managed
by Charlie Dexter, who had charge of
the Des Moines outfit last year. In
the Western league Gates ought to be
able to get away with the majority of
his games. There is a possibility that
Gates will refuse to come to Sioux
City. although Manager Holmes has
wired him transportation. He
originally was intended for Des
Moines. but he refused to work for
Uncle John Higgins at any price.

Topeka at Pueblo.
Wichita at Denver.
Omaha at Lincoln.
Sioux City at Des Moines.
Buck Franck, deposed captain of
the Omaha team, has left Omaha for
good. Buck lives in Oakland, Cal,
and the general presumption is that
he will hook up with one of the
baseball teams of the outlaw Cali
fornia league. Buck is pretty good
player. His absence will deprive
Omaha of a leader as well a short
stop right at a time, when Omaha
is in the race for the flag and is hav-
ing battle with Des Moines and
Sioux City. No team is likely to head
Sioux City but Des Moines and Oma-
ha are putting up an awful battle
for second place and Des MOines is
likely to win out.
King who is playing shortstop for
the RourkeS since the depOSing of
Franck, is said not to be any too good
as a shortstop and he is out of his
position. He has subbed at second
several times and does good work
there. King will be remembered as
the little player who tried to start
something with Cooley at a game
earlier in the season.
Rasty Wrights pitching doesn't at
tract attention, as he is rather lazy
looking individual in the box and not
one of the flashy sort that wins grand
stand applause. But Rasty is second
among the pitchers of the Western
League. This isn't the least bit bad

been felt at the departure of Buck
Franck under ordinary circumstances
VIII be spared in the minds of the
public by the reflection that he was
not giving the team his best service.
Whatever the original cause of the
difficulty, the breach between Franck
and the owner of the team, and the
further breach between Franck and
the players, had grown to that point
where his uses as a captain and play
ing manager were ended. He realized
TINS himself, and for several weeks
made no apparent effort to remedy
the situation. A very natural result
was that many games were lost that
might have been won, had the prop
er spirit prevailed among the play
ers. SO the going of Franck will re-
move at least one cause of weak
ness No doubt as to Franck's abil-
lty as a player and field leader eX-
lists He knows the game, inside and
OUT and is worth his money to any
team when he is doing what he is
capable of, but when he gets to buck
ing, as he has been, he is a draw
pack. Whether his place at short can
pe Immediately filled is uncertain, for
good 1nfielders are mighty scarce, but
a higher grade of team work is one
or the results that may be expected.
1t is reported that Rourke has also
made handsome offer to the Links
