BIG LEAGUE MISFIT
HEADED FOR TEXAS
Bob Edmundson, Now Bust
ness Man, Was a Texas
League Star.
(By Horace H. Shelton.)

Our Bob" Edmundson, than whom
there never was better or more popu-
lar ball player in the Teaxs league,
may again wear a Galveston uniform.
Our Bob" has played with both Gal
weston and Houston. He is an out
fielder and pitcher and above all the
hardest swatter of the horsehide that
ever trotted around the circuit in these
brushheaps.
He has been called to big league
company time after time but has never
made good. Why is one Of those I'M
explained features of baseball. Many
men with not near SO brilliant a record
in the minor leagues have stayed while
Edmundson has always found his way
back.
The Houston team was the last or
ganiZatiOn in Texas TO have a call on
the services of Edmundson. He went
from there to the Washington major
league team, but was sold to Sioux
City. He played there last year and
did well. Dallas got him this year as
a result of trade, but he refused to
come TO that city, not liking either the
berth, the salary or Gardner. He is
now in Lawrence, Kan, where he is in
business and making money, but the
lure of baseball has called him. AS a
result he has intimated to manager
Donnelly, of the Galveston team, who
is an old time friend of his, that if it
can be- arranged, he is willing to sign
a Galveston contract.
AS Dallas is getting no good out Of
his services, and is badly in need of
men, ii looks as if a trade would be
pulled of. Crabble, a pitcher, and
good one, and Stringer, catcher, have
been named as the price that Galveston
must pay.
While these men are good ones it is
a safe prediction that if Galveston can
get Our Bob" in return flor those two
players. no mistake will be made. With
him there to slam the ball Galveston
will be a more vigorous pennant con-
tender than ever In addition to be-
ing a good pitcher, an excellent out
fielder and batter of repute, Edmund
son can play in any position on thu
team, making an exceptionally good
catcher when the team needs him.

Jay Kanzler, of Fort Worth, and Roy

tions to president Aliens staff of UNI
rires. ROycraft umpired but one game

Kanzler played first base for awhile
this season for Fort Worth.
Mcdonald. the Farmersville amateur,
recently signed by Dallas, has not yet

and is said to be fast.
Houston may be deprived of the
services of Tommy Carlin, of Newcastle,
Ind, recently signed by that team. He
is now seriously i'll at his home with

letting Tony Theoo try his hand at
delivering the goods there.
George Leidy, manager of the Bron-
chOs, says that ne is the best pinch
hitter in the Texas league. If one will
watch George for a while they will
come to the conclusion that there is
merit to his contention.
Shortstop Pendry, the latest acqui-
sition of the San Antonio team, is due
to show up within a few days. Maybe
he will break the 'hoodoo" that seems
to be following the team over the cir
cult.

purchase of infielder Lawson from
Rochester, and catcher Lowert from

if Dallas vii ony let them keep the
men. But if they show up good it's
nearly a cinch that ii won't be long be-
fore they will wear a Dallas uniform.
Pitcher Robb, formerly of San An

failed TO make good with the Beeville
team Of the Southwest Texas league,
is now being given a try out with La
redo. In the first game pitched he
was badly hammered So art the
mighty fallen. He was once as good
as they made them in this league.
Since hitting the home grounds.
Dallas has certainly been putting up
a fine exhibition of fast ball The first
three games played with the Houston
champions was played without letting
the visitors make single run. When
an aggregation can get together and
put up a game like that, IL seems al
most impossible that they could play
as ragged as they did on the road.
Some of the teams will have to stop
Fort Worth or that bunch is going
to the top of the heap. While Dallas
was lambasting Houston the Painters
were doing a like service for the
Bronchos. While the two leaders were
coming down the ladder, both Calves
ton and Fort Worth were doing some
climbing. The Galveston team has
been the only south Texas team that
has been able to do much OF. north
Texas ground.
Thirteen hits and u runs. That is
what the Oklahoma team recently did
for pitcher Ogles of Waco. That Is
certainly making the hits bring home
