Latest Minor League Bulletin.
Oddities in names are to be fount
in the latest minor league bulletin o
President Farrell of the Nationa
Association of Professional BaseDai
Leagues. The owners of some O.
them are destined to play in the DIG
leagues sooner or later; in fact Zacf
D. Wheat already has been purchased
by the Brooklyn club from Mobile. IL
! the list of contracts for 1909 is an attn
lete with the impressive name OF
Rivington Bisland. Rivington being
under contract to the Wheeling club
while James Limric belongs to Bloom
| ington, and Steubenville, Ohio, has nc
less a parsonage than Nestor Neven
para in its ranks.
Loren Hixon and Loren Brown dc
business far apart, one in Columbus,
Ca, and the other in Ell Reno, Wa
bash, Ind, is right on the map with
Fem, Wousetler, but has nothing Cd
Burlington, Ia, with its Seth Dove
and Henry Severoid. Waterloo, Ind,
claims prominence with Gene Shour,
which suggests to you alternately a
rainy day and crab apple. Minnea-
polls, Kan, has Bear, surnamed
George, and another baseball private
in the Sunfower Commonwealth is
Dee Poindexter. Further evidence
that there's nothing the matter with
Kansas is the presence of T. l.. Citi-
zen il Wellington and Mark Shull in
Manhattan.
Ormrod Williams cavorts in Kala-
mazoo, Dow Van Dine and his crisp
title belong in Winchester, KY, and
August Zurlage has his baseball being
in Lexington, KY. The Superior, Wis,
team has Scandinavian
flavor with Phil Stremmell, Walter
Baertschi, Otto Koepping and c. R.
Holstrom. Crossing Mason and Dix
ons line we find Dick Thumb in Will
son, n C., and still further south, in
Dallas. Texas, U. L. Rushce adorns
the payroll.
Silence and baseball are found in
Davenport, Ia. in the person of Mum
Warrender, who some day may play
on the same worlds championship
team with Ed Zinran, now of Terre
Haute, and Rube Deneau of Saginaw
Should Yabby Billet of Goldsboro. N
c., ever come to be the champion hit
ter of the country he will have dou-
BILE claim to distinction. At present
ne is on the same team with Larry
Barry.
Jess Nickel doesn't signify that the
Rockford, Ill. club is particularly
short financially, nor should it be in
ferred that because Altoona has a
Rumsay it is festive be-ond its neigh
bors. Player Burs has a name not
quite so poetic as the city in which he
sheds his diamond lustre, the same be-
ing Winona. If Allen Bumpers of
Waco lives up to his name opposing
pitchers surely will suffer. H. w. |
ONO is team mate of A. Bumpers. |
Diner Prater isn't the authGr of the |
2ubaiyat, but a player in Quincy. The |
bulletin also tells us that Sious city |
