Sioux City, Journal: John Mullen, VINO
is admittedly the best umpire IN the
league. could not seem to see anything
for Buck Freeman yesterday, and Buck
had to groove them to prevent giving
bases on balls.
Buck Weaver, the tail, angular back
stop of the Grizzlies and about the best
in the league, who had to quit the
game on account of asthma, is tend1ng
to his chicken farm at Manhattan
while McMurray wears his mask.
Des Moines has released Hueston, the

to be sent.

verified to W. L. Tull of Muskogee
through the refusal of Dale Gear and

Jarnigan, the Witch wonder, lost ms
cunning long enough for Des Mo1nes TO
bat out a victory in the last of the ser
les.
Tessie Alderman retains much of his
cid time proclivity. In the fourth
straight for Sioux City from St. JOS
eph in three times UP he got a hit, a
run, a putout, and four assists but MT

Here's an interesting little clipping
from a published article by Jack Has
keIl before the season opened which
part: 1.-THE judgment Of the fans and
managers is not always the best in
regard to an umpire. Before l came
into this league they had about ten UNI
pires during the season. Only three
umpires in the big leagues have been
in the business as long as I have and
no one can gainsay the proposition
they have improved with age in the
business" ss -
The Cooleysox are playing In mighty
hard luck on the trip and never have
shown to be a good road team. Those
three dropped to Omaha offset the ad-
vantage gained by the three taken
from Wichita at home and we can
feel them slipping back into the old
rut. If ST. Joe braces what in the
world will become of US? With Reilly
out of the game with his injured ankle
and Wooley sick and pitchers in the
take anything out of an opponents
camp. Get in over there yourself.
Dick. You did fine the other day.
