The evening paper hasn't tried to
run the baseball team. If it had. it
PROBABLY would have done it as well
as the morning paper has glance
at the list of players left indicates that
1T has been well handled by some one.
Sioux City Tribune: The Packers
mad field day behind Jimmy Free
man in the second battle with the re-
JuVenated Rourkes. Jimmy made
two blunders himself Joe Cha
oek must have been in good form when
ne held the Omahas scoreless after the
third round. Joe has had hard luck
this summer First sickness put him
out OF the game just when he was
rounding into condition. and then an
accident caused his retirement. &.
rams can show their appreciation OF
the work of the Packers in no better
way than by investing in ticket to
the banquet and ball games Monday.
After Saturday night no tickets will be
sold. If the committee does not call
upon you, tickets may be had at the
Grain Exchange billiard parlors or at
the Stag cigar store Despite his
the Packers, where he showed lack of
nerve, "Speck" Hurlburt once a mem
Der of the Sioux City club, is still UNI
piring in the Western league. If Zip"
O'Neil could have seen Hurlburt's de-
cisions after Frank 1sbell ran a bluff
on him, 'Speck' would be umpiring in
this circuit.
Wichita Eagle: Fugate was the real
Randy Kid" in the pitching line in
that shutout game the other day. With
the bases full and none gone in the
eighth, he whitfield Clemmons, Shaw
and Jarnagin. 1t is to be noted
that the Topeka CORES ondents are
not sending out the attendance on the
games being played there this week.
The chances are that the fatted calf
being slaughtered for the Returned
Prodigals is mighty hungry looking
animal. Davis is going to look
like a mighty good guess for the out
field next season if he keeps on pelting
the pill like he has the last few days.
He sure had his eye on the ball Tues
day, with five blows in seven times
up, one a triple and another a double.
He has a good arm and plenty of
speed, too.
st. Joseph News-Press: Owner Jack
Holland of the Drummers is still con-
graduating himself on drafting First
Baseman Eberline from the Fort
Worth club of the Texas league. The
draft was put in several days ago.
"Speck" Hurlburt, who is handling the
indicator here at present, was umpir-
ing in the southwest during the sea-
son there and saw Eberline work. He
says the youngster is a big fellow, even
hits and fields in a manner that will
make him a favorite. Eberline joined
the Fort Worth club six weeks before
the Texas league season closed, and
was merely overlooked by the big
league scouts. Several looked him over
during the last week of the season, but
no draft was put in for him. He is a
college man, having finished his work
in school last June.
Lincoln Star: Three hits in three
times up for Cranston at st. Joseph,
four hits in four times up and six in
eight times up for Beckley at Topeka,
one a twobagger in four times up for
Riggert at Omaha, and three hits in
five times up, one for extra bases, by
Kruger at Des Moines, were hitting
records the other day. John Fox
probably deserves credit as the pitcher
with the best control. He should have
won and would have but for fatal err
rors. For twelve innings not a man
reached first on four balls
