Jimmy O'Rourke of this city who has been out of the game because of injuries, celebrated his return to the Colum bus,, American association, team by making three hits last week. He also accepted 12 out of 13 chances at second and stole two bases. Colum- bus was playing Louisville, which is managed by Jack Tighe, the former Norwich and Holyoke pilot. Jimmy rooters and the fact that his long ab- sence from the game had not dimmed his batting eye was appreciated by the fans.

 Al Odell of this city has been play ing first for Atlanta of the Southern association. So far this season Odell has been stationed at third, shortstop and the outfield in addition to his lat est job at first. He has done fine work in all positions, too. In the past eight games he made seven hits
 Manager Teller has a statement in the Springfield Union in which he says the crowd caused Springfield's defeat Sunday. That's all right to square himself with the home folks but it is far from the truth. Zelier declares that Slows hit would have been a single if the crowd hadn't been in left field. Slows drive was liner that passed between Swander and the foul line and the fielder had abso- matter of fact if the people hadn't blocked the ball it would have gone for home run and the people in the stands were bemoaning the circum stances at the time. The crowd didn't encroach upon the field until the final then. Still with the precarfous condi- tion of Sunday ball it won't do to start any agitation about the matter. ! Dan O'Neil has secured Pitcher Gipe for his Holyoke team. Gipe was league last year. The Athletics se- cured him and sent him to New Or leans but he didn't stick there. He is big fellow.
