Ohio league.
Shreveport continues to come to the
( front. Third baseman Westerzel. play
ing with the Wichita club of the West
ern league, has been purchased by De-
troit. He is a San Antonio boy and
played his first game in professional
company with the Bronchos.
Howell, the Shreveport pitcher, who
has been sold TO fast company. is pitch
ing the best ball in the Texas league
just at present. He will probably be a
winner from the jump when he hits the
major league.

The latter must be feeling the continu-
Gus strain on them.

chased Yantze, catcher for San Antonio.

of the recent games played by the

The Detroit papers are loud in their
praise of Loudell, recently secured by
