Reichle and Miller occupied first and
second and Morris was up with no one

Collins then hit into double.
| That man Kerwin who gathers il.
4 everything in left field and clouts the
/ ball for safe one about every three
times at bat, seems to be about the
most joyful player in the Central
Association. He has faculty for
amusing himself by his talk. Kerwin's
ability is generally recognized
throughout the circuit.
Quincy Wing: Those Indians are

in the fifth inning was fast one.
Cadigan was on first when Vyskocil

hurled to second in time to force the

successful on his brilliant effort to
force the runner at first. To do this

/ Arthur Brown, the man who gave
Monmouth I'm ball and last winter

more ways than one. Mr.. Brown is
hustler, gentleman and a man
