Hush SfllertOl
n.. 4
BY FRED LUpERUs.
First 6sseman Philadelphia National
League Team, Whose Hitting Has
Been One Of the Sensations of
the Present Season.

Although ! haven't been In the Big
Leagues long enough to be an author
fty on great plays, once saw one
which certainly was the greatest
ever witnessed. How anything could
be better cant imagine.
The play was made by Mike Doolan,
our short stop, who think Is the
greatest short stop In the country.
Doolan does more things down there
at short than any one know Of, and
keeps right on doing them all the time,
cutting of hits, making plays In all
directions, and throwing from any po-
sition, even when both bis feet are
of the ground. When | first joined
the team and was doing bench duty
used to sit and wonder how Mike could
do the things he did, and one Of the
first breaks | made after going on
first was to drop ball because was
so surprised that Doolan ever reached
It In time to make throw at all.
The greatest play ever saw him
or anyone else make was In a game at
Pittsburg. We had the game won by
two runs in the seventh inning, when
things began to 90 wrong, and before
we could check the Pirates at all they
had the bases Pull with only one out
and George ellison at the bat. Tho
infleld was drawn in 40 as to make the
play either way, That is playing the
middle distance, no as to either try for
double play from the plate to first,
or from second to first, depending on
the way the ball was hit Gibson hit

Tim Flood Has Made
An Ideal Manager

Much can be said in praise OF
Manager Flood and his work with
the locals. He came here when the
team was disorganized and had to
fire every member OF the bunch ex-
cepting Hughes,
Flood set to work with a will
when he came to Cairo, secured the
country for new players and finally
gathered in the present team which
would have surely won the pennant
had It been here all year.
- All the players admire Flood and
work with will under his leader
ship,
BY his averages he is the best
fielding second baseman in the lea
J que, has hardly an error, hits the
bali with consistency, nearly every
bingle he gets being for extra bases,
and his work In the pinches having
won many games.
He has made friends here who ad-
mire his work as manager. The
many courtesies he has extended
the Bulletin in wiring important
happenings on the road, giving
much information that helped make
the best sport paper in the league
and other favors are appreciated,
% b
His admirers wish him success and
good luck in all his ventures, and
hope the acquaintance made while
he has been here will be prolonged

Zeke Taylor is One
OF Teams SIuggers

zeke Taylor, Cairo's star back
stop, is one of the heavy hitters OF
the Cairo team and one of the men
who have put Cairo in the over 500
class.
Zebe was second last year in the
league and Is now hitting around
the 800 mark, He has a league
record of four hits out OF four times
up when the rest of the team only
got three hits altogether.
Taylor is well known all over the
league, and like Dummy" Hughes
is one of the chief attractions when
the Cairo team plays away from
home.

this season has been as clever al
ever
The first season of this year h
batted at a .301 clip, being one Q
the few in the league over the 500
mark In the first OF the season h.
led the league in fielding.his average
being .9S6. His averages the sec
ond season and for the year will
probably be even higher,
With the Cairo people Dummy
is doubtless the favorite of the team
II he chose to run for office he prob
ably would be elected. Fans hope
to see the Dummy on the team
again next year with his keen eye
and good Judgment.
Flood led the second basemen
of the league in fielding the first
season and has done the same this
season.
Lewis on short is another star. '
Lewis is fast, has a splendid throw
and never pulls off "bones." He
filled weak spot in the team when
he joined Cairo. The first season
he batted at an average of 800 and
is conceded the best pinch hitter
on the team.
Lewis played with Evansville be-
fore coming to Cairo and that team
wants him back next year,
Jantzen, on third, has been val
liable aid to the team. There is
not a better infielder in the league
on picking up hard grounders.
Towards the end of the season his
hitting has picked up, and before
many seasons will be up in fast COM
pany.
Taylor, Weakley. Steele, Wolfe
and Boly have all subbed in the in
ield At such times their work has
been as good as when filling their
own positions.

Wolfe, Kinser and
Waters Strong Trio

No other team in the league cal
boast Of better outficlders than Cairo
with her impregnable trio Of Wolfe
Kinser and Waters. All field fast
with scarcely an error. Their worF
at the stick is good,
Wolfe, who came to Cairo from the
Kansas City American Association
team, has been one Of Cairo's most
Valuable players; he has served with
credit In the left field, caught a
number OF games when zeke Taylor
was forced to be out, or played SOM
other position He has pitched ana
played third base.
Though his averages were COM
piled with another Wolfe, the first
season, his work with the willow has
been first class. He has made many
long drives and has "beaten out
a number OF bunts intended for sac
rifices. He is speedy runner and
uses his head at all times He has
received more BASES on balls
than any other man on the team
wolfe managed pennant winning
teams in the Texas league and scouts
from faster company have watched
his work here.
Kinser in center field is one OF
the 900 hitters. Scarcely a game
is played in which he does not get
one hit or more. He Is nifty base
steaier
Kinser has made but one error this
season while with Cairo and that
on difficult chance. He has been
a quick nibbler of hits in center gar
den. He was regarded as the star
center fielder in the defunct Arkan-
sas State league.
Waters in right field is one of the
local favorites. He led the team
In hitting the first season with an
average of .317. He has made some
of the most remarkable catches ever
seen here while working in right
garden.
Jake Ia heavy hitter and when
ever he connects with the ball 1t

Cairo Pitching Staff
Has Splendid Record

That Cairo has splendid pitch
ing staff at present is evidenced by
the fine records OF the men connect
ed with the team in their work on
the slab.
One peculiar fact IS that Wolfe
leads the local twirlers and also the
league with a record of no games
lost--he pitched but two games and
won them both Wolfe was used Ju-
ly and beat Fulton to 5. He was
used two other time to fill in and
once when he pitched three innings
without allowing hit, and the 9th
err time at Vincennes, the day he
finished for Cairo. The last
game of the season he pitched at
Clarksvile and won on forfeit
Laying Wolfe's record aside,
Binkley leads the team with his
work on the slab. having won over
two thirds of the games while he
pitched with Cairo. His record the
early part of the season with Hop
kinsville is not included but before
he was traded to Cairo for Catcher
Arkansas" Smith he was doing
fine work.
Boly is the teams only southpaw
and is the youngest and smallest
player on the team. He has the
leage record of 20 men fac
ing him and has beaten Yon, rated
as the premier pitcher of the lea
que BoIy has pleasant personal
ity and has made many friends here.
Weakley has won favor with the
fans for his work here Besides be-
ing some pitcher he is a star field
er and heavy hitter He is one of
the few slab men in Cairo hitting
over 300
Steele, who finished the season
with Cairo, belonging to the Cotton
States league. has done some fine
work His curves, drops and speed
are nearly phenomenal and next
year will probably see him in high
company. He has played second sack
and in the outfield since he has
been here as well as he pitched and
