ers had quit the team. Well, if they

| The team has had a slump since leav-
ing home. All teams have them at
some time in the year and it looks

out and root and help the players win.
Your company and your roofing helps.
And the team will justify whatever
faith you have in the players if you
show it.
When the team left it was hoped
that it might win possibly half the
games on the road. 1t hasn't accom-
plished this, but nearly all of the
games have been lost after a hard
fought battle.
a hitting slump and will come back
and beat the pitchers who are just
now fattenfng their averages on our
own hopefuls. What would we have
done had our start been like Lin
coins? OF course it wasn't but just
the same the Link fans are standing
by the team loyalty. Surely local fans
can afford to get out and boost for
a team that has won nearly half the
games played. Gear has a bunch of
good ball players and they are feared
all over the circuit. Let's show the
boys that the home town fans are for
them as strong as fans can be for
a team. It means more games won on
the northern invasion.
Perhaps it was well the road trip
came when it did. The slump had
started when the last game was played
here. It's always better to have that
sort of thing happen on the road than
at home. Meanwhile Gears shakeup
will undoubtedly give the team a
stronger fighting front and the play
ers are getting down to work in a bet
ter manner. These managers who are
playing the Kaws for snap because
they are down in their luck just now
have another guess coming.
IsbeH is working his athletes every
m orning. At the ball park they prac-
tice everything there is in baseball
ISbeH hopes to get the team into shape
nant honors by this continued training.
And that may have something to do
with the locals. Hendricks claimed
the Kaws were in danger of slump on
account of too much training when he
saw them here, but not much at
tention was given to his prophecy.
This is the last call for guesses on
the standing of the Kaws July 4. Send
your guess to Baseball Editor State
right away.
Meanwhile it will be a chance to
look at the Joseys- They are pennant
contenders, this year, barring acct
dents. So far this season they have
been going well. Kelly, the new cap
tain, is said to be one of the heady |
scrappy kind and the number of wins
credited to st. Joseph shows that the |
club is a good one. The women free

whether he goes to scout for Comis-
key or some one else, it is sad that
drews is ended. He was a warrior of
the old school and fought the game
as best he knew how.

Billy Anderson, the st. Joseph ban
