far than he was last year. He was
one of Lincoln's best then. 81
= Pueblozis trying to buy rZalusky
from Denver. Pueblo, needs another
catcher. Mite is a good man bvt he
is liable to be out of it at any sirfle.
Then an old head i needed. Mite is
a youngster. Jehl is the chzAega'
catcher.
Otto Koepping, Ducky Holmes ex-
ira infielder, has been shipped to the
Superior, Wis. team which is man
aged by Lew Drill Koepping has a
chance to do some good work for
that club has won but six games out
of twenty-three.,
The Des Moines Tribune thinks
that Mertens will be let go, and that
Shea and Heckinger will be re-
Kerner will do the utility role. There
is one thing that can be said about
the Des Moines team Even if the
Cantillons do not own it, they are
showing some high salaried players
over on the Des Moines management,
and getting rid of big salary bur-
den. Des Moines is generally con-
ceded to have the highest salary list
in the league.
The Omaha World-Herald predicts
that two of the Rourkes will go up
this year. Harry WEIGH and Red
Fisher. Both are good outfie1ders.
WEIGH is the demon swatter of the
| league, while Fisher who can't hit
so well, is fast on the bases. Should
they be sold Pa ought to get nice
slice of money.
Louisville Post: Olson is playing a
neat game at second for the locals
and doing things in smooth, easy
way that makes hard plays look easy.
He is about the best youngster that
has come out of the bushes this sea-
SON. Ollie was a star at Topeka last
year He hit at -24S clip ana

at Joplin who hit at .24s-

Mr. Glenlayin, of st. Louis, comes to
take his place. "Prexy O,Nehl
tried to land Bobby Black, OF SIOUX
| city, whose good work last summer
made a hit throughout the circuit,
but Bobby has too many private BUSH
ness affairs to attend to. In the
meantime poor old Danny Green CON
tinues to hibernate down in Topeka
The Pueblo Star-Journad says
there is a rumor going the rounds in
that city to the effect that Lew Drill
is to succeed Hogriever as man
ager. Drill however is now tied up
with the Superior team in the Wis
cousin league and isn't making any
too good a record with that team.
He isn't the hustler he was a few
wears ago and it is doubtful whether.
he could do better than Hogriever.
The Star-Journal is in favor of Wal
ters for manager should Hogriever be
let out, but the paper still stands by
Hoggy.
Mason. the young Lincoln catcher
is doing some pretty good work sac-
cording to the Lincoln press. He is
hitting the ball and on the Lincoln
team anyone that can hit Is re-
spected-
John GiImartin refuses to be sold
to Peoria and says that he will go
to his home in Connecticut first ana
will there play independent ball
Hoggv says that his pitchers have
sore arms that the team Is in neeq
| of a third baseman, and that OUTSIDE
| of these tcomings the team is
winner. These shortcomings ought.
