Not even the Kaws can win them all
not when some bloke won't let them
hit and his accomplices won't bobble
anywhere.
Jack Fugate pitched good enough ball
to win so per cent Of games and pipe
the catching Tommy Hawkins is put
ting up.
Eddie Sabrie, high priced first base
man released by the Kaws, left last
night for Charleston, S. c., in the South
Atlantic league. He tried to sell him
self around the A. A. but they seemed
to be full of first basemen. He gets
little cut in salary but gets back his
free agency at the end of the season.
Maybe Hawkins will strike for higher
wages today and show some ivory-top
but it will have to be said, nevertne-
less, that he caught some ball yester-
day. He never let one past, and he
caught all stealers, had five assists and
got two of the Kaws four hits In three
trips to the plate. Agnew, it should be
added. also is some catcher. The
youngster has whole carload of
ginger.
Beecher is Just that much of an all
around ball player that he has not yet
been caught for any place which he
hasn't filled as well as a regular. There
was some surprise when he was used
as a pinch hitter, then he played third
with show of class, taking hard
chances with never a wobble, he also
has played the outer garden on several
occasions and yesterday was sent out
for Thomson. One chance was all Of
fered him but he took that off his shlns
in a running catch. Later he made one
of the four hits off Rhodes and started
a ninth inning rally though. nothing
came of 1t. He's an able bodied per-
son and willing to do.
Catcher Lynch, who caught the most
Of the earlier games of the season for
the Des Moines team and who was out
of the game for couple Of weeks, due
to his sale to the Jackson club, got
back into the game at Denver. He is
now the property Of the Des MoineS
club, which may mean that Clemmons
will not be asked to report. Des Moines
will have little use for three catchers
and it is not likely that a couple of
men as good as Lynch and Clemmons
would be retained on the same team
Lynch was the property of the Mime
apolis team for year or SO, and was
sold by them to Jackson. He was pur-
chased from Jackson.

once a Salt Packer and has many
friends here who wish him success.
Sioux City Tribune: If Breen is out
of the game any length of time, it will
greatly handicap the Packers. "Yank"
has been playing pretty classy ball and
Towne needs his services on the pres

played Lincoln Tuesday. 'FBreen is out
of the game with strained tendon in
his foot and Reilly is all to the bad

Lincoln News: Raleigh Aitchison,
the former Wichita sidewheeler, is still
another Packer acquisition. This chap
