shifted from short to second. At first
he didn't hit much, but has evidently
found his batting eye. He cracked tho
balls out regularly in the three games
here, besides playing an errOrless per-
Torrance at second. Brand is a Michi-
gan boy. He played on the Sault Ste.
Marie team several years ago when
Eddie Cicotte, now one of Boston S
mainstays was doing the pitching.
Jap" Barbeau. formerly with Cleveland,
also acquired his reputation on the
same team, which cleaned everything in
the Copper Country league that season.
He is in mighty good with the Cananea
fans and where there was doubt 1t
first as to whether be would stay, his
berth is now assured. Goodman, back
on third. fills another gap in the in
field that existed when Nalle was there.
If anything happens to Goodman the
team has another man in Baroldy, who
handles himself tiptop around that
cushion. Barclay has been with Clifton,
but his differences with Cananea were
adjusted in time for him to partici-
pate in this series.
The Cananea bunch didn't get away
until 1880 Monday night. The boys
proceeded to buy fireworks and Roman
candles were shot all over South Ell
Paso street. On the way to the train
Frank Hodges went after Max Reardon
and chased him, on the dead run, all
the way down San Francisco street with
a Roman candle. Cananea was entitled
to hold the little celebration. Dugan
didn't accompany the team back, but is
still in town
Clifton has shown her regeneration
and gave Morenci a beating Saturday.
The new infield, composed Of Penn
state university stars, did the business,
and everybody Hit the ball. Clifton is
now apparently in shape to stack up
against the other Cactus league clubs
and get away with something. Pete
Riley has now been regularly assigned
to first base, with 'Dauber" Mason on
third.
Catcher Roland Wolfe according to
report, has been unconditionally released
by St. Joe. He will probably be back
here before long. as he has too good
q head, and a sticker, too, to go without
work very long
Misery loves company. For further
consult the scores of the
games of the holiday
session. What will happen in Bisbee
now? The fans can't stand two defeats
in a row very well.

painful to repeat. Saturday, Cananea
put up a nice, clean game, and played
errorless ball, while Ell Paso got one

were sensational plays on both sides
and prettier exhibition could not be
asked. In this session Tom Whaling

that the pitchers are only lettering

TEXAS LEAGUE NOTES
BY Horace III. Shelton.

CheIette, of Oklahoma, recently pitch
ed two games Of double header
against San Antonio. He won the first
and lost the second. A good pitcher
can be easily ruined that way.
Mig Perrine has been sent to Omaha
from Oklahoma City. The National
commission ruled that the Omaha team
owned him.
Frantz, who played with San An
tonic early in the season, but who was
released, has again appeared in the
lineup. He is pitching. In the only
game in which he appeared he was
hammered hard over the field.
knapp, shortstop for the Victoria
team Of the Southwest Texas league,
goes to Cleveland instead Of to Pitts
burg The price paid was $3.50 and the
youngster reports a the end of the sea-
son. The Dutchman is doing splendid
work At shortstop.
Stinton, who has ben i'll with fever, is
back in the lineup of the San Antonio
team He celebrated his temperance
by getting two hits out of four times at
the bat, and both of them were two
baggers.
The Houston team has got all its
men out of the hospital, and playing
with the regular lineup and on the
home grounds the team ought to have
no trouble in keeping on the top Of
the heap, if 1t can ever climb over San
Antonio, which team is playing under
similar conditions
Rogers, the new Southern league re-
cruit with the San Antonio team, is do

ing fine work. He has won both games
he has pitched. In the last contest, be-
tween San Antonio and Waco, he held
the Nabigators to two hits.
Stringer formerly with the Galveston
club, is now pitching for Beeville in
the Southwest Texas league.
Mcdonald, the new shortstop signed
by Dallas, has not yet been given a try
out, but he is expected to appear in
the lineup in the near future. He looks
good in practice.
The announcement is made that
Pitcher Colgrova, released by San An
tonic, but who has ben playing in the

ed by a Glass A club. Since the season
opened he has been playing sensational
ball. He is under % years of age, and

theirs, is now getting as many bouquets
as he formerly got knocks. His team
has made a wonderful showing for the
past month.
GalvestOn's slump Is due to the fact
that Donnelly's players seem unable
