anyway. Neither. though. should have
failed to make the connection. Holland
is disposed to give his men consider
ably more liberty than most managers,
but he doesn't like to have that liberty
abused.
The chances are that Gillen won't
report to Lincoln. Zalusky, the other
Denver suspended player, recently re-
fused to desert Gillen. and now it isn't
likely that Gillen will desert zalusky.
The fact that the new owners of the
Lincoln club are going after new play
ers shows that they are in favor OF
putting Lincoln higher IN the race.
The Register s. Leader of Des Moines
says that Fenlon drew large volume
of applause for a catch that he made
in the third game in the Iowa metropo-
lis.
Killingsworth showed no better form
at Lincoln than he did at Topeka be-
fore the season started, and he has re-
turned to his old berth at Albany,
n. Y.
Detroit has purchased young Hamil-
ton from the Springfield, Mo, club.
Hamilton viii be remembered as the
game to the Topeka team before the
season commenced while he was play
ing with Jake Beckley's Kansas City
Yannigans.
The Denver team is not to be count
ed out of the running for a few weeks
yet, judging from the present stride
which the team is maintaining. The
team is now on the road but has been
a consistent winner just the same, and
despite the fact that some of the best
players are out of the game, the team
is going in pretty good shape. 1t looks
Ike Omaha, Denver. and Sioux City to-
fight it out.
Olnstead, of Denver. seems to be
going about as good as any right-hand-
er in the league. And Tessie Alderman
seems to have 1t on the left-handers
however, in the last two
weeks is showing grand form.
Holland has waived his suspension
of Raleigh Aitchison. and the young
southpaw has promised to be good.
Jay Andrews has been having a hard
run of late with his Oklahoma City
team He is back to fifth place but
stin above the 500 mark. Injuries to
his best players have been putting the
team on the bum.

good team now and in fine condition. |
The players are all going well and we
expect to hand the Oakland outfit an
awful walloping. Just watch US. Jack

In the league. Two years ago he played
with the Detroit Americans. The fol-
lowing season found him with the
Johnstown club, where he played about
half of the season. He jumped johns

release from Fort Worth and came to
the Pacific coast to join Fresno. Yes,
several offers have been made him to
lump Fresno, and in fact he came up
here two days ahead of the other boys

Vernon manager, but no agreement
