years, is finally to get chance to
pitch. Since his acquisition by the
Pirates he has been recognized as be-
ing good pitcher, and Mana ger Clarke
would work him were it not for the
superabundance Of other tried men,
and the position which Pittsburr oc-
cupies in the race. But he will get a
chance just the same. Clarke told him
he would be farmed out either to Bal
timore in the Eastern league or Louis
Vile In American association Blaine is
now at his home in Fort Scott for a
rev days after which he will join one
club or the other, probably Louisville
Durbin should have no trouble making

been written to the contrary and he
deserves a lot Of success.

wrenching of his knee, but his throw
ing arm was also bad. Mig put UP a
game fight for his job at Omaha, bt
the odds were too great.
Omaha Bee: Ducky Holmes has the
faculty of getting results. just the
same. Other managers complain of
hard luck, difficulty in getting team
and all that, while the obstreperous one
at Sioux City goes right on with his
wood saving. Des Moines is
not getting all there is in that team
over there. 1t is capable of playing
better ball than it is doing. One trou-
BILE is it has a young man named
Bader who is swelled up with the err

for anything. You're a discard and you
might as well come to 1t and try to
make ball player of yourself.
