big baseball. It's the latest advertis-
ing stunt of Messrs. McGiIl and Gun
thorpe, and it is hummer.
Sioux City News: Fred Hunter. last
year at first base for the Sioux City
team, has joe cinched with the KAN
sas City Blues. He is depriving old
man Beckley of job. Hunter can hit
the ball mile.
Denver Republican: There are some
fans who think spring practice is fun.
They should see Lindsay. The first
haseman is reducing weight. Yesterday
in the middle of the day he was wear
ing three or four suits of underwear
and a sweater and Hendricks had him
galloping around the. field at top speed.
1t was lots of fun-for the spectators
Sioux City News: Cooley used Kauff-
man in his first game of the season.
Last year Kaufman was used hKe
trumps. Whenever Cooley was in doubt
and it was often-he used Kaufman.
Lincoln News: Uncle Joe Dolan is in
training with the Omaha squad, con-
ditioning himself for campaign OF
action when he takes the re1nS as man
ager of the Colorado State League cup:
We repeat our prediction that lot OF
state league, pitchers will wish Joe DO
Ian and his war club were In some otner
circuit. Every once in While Joe hlts
EN- at least a mile.
Wichita Beacon: Paul Cobb, whose
chief claim to distinction is that he IS
a brother of the famous ''Ty' and that
some Joplin press agent once touted
him so strongly that st. Louis was
fooled into drafting him, has reported
to Jimmy Sullivan at Lincoln. Cobb
may have improved so much that he
will be a world-beater with Lincoln
these young fellows do that sometimes
a1N1a n a
summer.
Sioux City News: Catcher McMurray,
who has been purchased from the Sox
clever catcher. Last year with the
Atlanta team in the Southern League
his fielding average was .975. He batted
but POI. However, he has been Whack-
ing the ball hard while with the Sox
this spring.
What do you think of this: Lincoln
News: While the. Topeka scribblers are
jabbing the St. joseph newspaper Wr1-
tiers and describing their baseball dope
as mostly gush. it strikes this depart
ment as if some of the st. Joseph news
paper zeal would not be amiss in To-
peka. Certain it is that Jack Holland
cannot complain Of unsympathetic
tiers are boosting Loyalty every day.
Here is another echo of st. Joseph |
spirit The Des -Moines Capital says:
"Des Moines travelling men are going
TIC organize to boost baseball here.
"a meeting of all the knights of the
grip who travel out of Des Moines has
been called for next Saturday morning
at 1920 o'clock at Bob O'Callaghan S. |
At that time the sale of tickets will be
and travelling mems day |
will be decided upon when all the drum |
mers will attend the game in a body. |
1.-THE boosters viii help the Greater |
Des MoineS committee in the sale OF |
tickets and propose to put out thou |
sand or more tickets which will be sold |
at 81 each and will be good for any |
game during the year.
ION travelling mems day a band will |
be secured and the Drummers will be |
day last year was the most enthusiastic |
event the east side park has ever seen.
Here is some more wise chatter:
Wichita Beacon: The Topeka papers |
insist on poking fun at Jack Hollands !
st. Joseph infield Yet it's hard to see
where Cooleys inner works has any
thing on it. Fred Clarke is as good Il
fielder and a better hitter than our old |
friend Spencer Arthur Abbott. TEX"
Jones will cover more ground in
game than Bobby Kahl will in two and
ting the cobwebs brushed off so his
wheels can start running. Corhan has
no superior at the short field position,
even though Reilly is a good man and
possibly a. better batsman- As be-
tween Kensel and Kunkel at third,
difference is just as likely to be in
KensePs favor this year as against
him. He got off to a bad start in this
league last spring and became discour-
