Babe Reinert, released Friday by
Manager Queisser arrived in the city
yesterday. He says that he could not

dead He will go to his home in In.
dianapolis and have the arm baked for
a few weeks before trying to land with
some other club.
Hannibal scribes ought to feel proud
OF their foresight and judgment now

games won by the Herrites. two of
which were won by the merest flukes
imaginable.

the managerial axe will fall.

ladies to their town where three elab.

tons usually heaped upon the civiliz
ed Indians by the pale face squaws.
