The batter hit one OF those short

either the short stop or the left fielder
to reach when they are aimd at the
right spot. Doolan is a wonderful man
at running out with his back straight
to the plate and catching that kind of
fly ball. This day Mcgee was playing

Manager Flood is
After New Pitcher

Manager Flood of the locals is
keeping the lines hot to the South in
an effort to secure Pitcher MARITIME,
the property of New Orleans of the
Southern league, for the Cairo team.
MARITIME has been farmed out by
New Orleans to one of the Cotton
States clubs but when that organi-
cation finished its pennant race he
reported 10 New Orleans for duty
but the team limit Of that club will
not permit him TO be carried so Cairo
may get him for the rest of the year
Mills, PARROT and Steele, just here
from the Cotton States, all speak
very highly OF him, and no doubt he
would strengthen the teams PEN
nant prospects.

Fourth Place Now

There has been a general mistake
all over the circuit relative to the
standing of the teams. The Vincen-
mes Capital is stated to be the Off

accept the averages of that paper.
The Bulletin has had Vincennes
tied with Cairo for second place, but
this is wrong as they are in fourth,
right behind Hopkinsville This gives
Cairo undisputed possession of second
place and soon she will have first, if
she keeps up her work as during the
