The Monmouth Atlas says: Bill
johnson, who occupied the center gar
den for the Browns for several seasons,
is lamming away at the pill In his OLD
time style at present. Johnnie Is with
San Francisco in the Pacific Coast
league.
Charley Tanning, who was the ter
ror OF all Central association bats
men last season, is also member OF
the San Francisco club although luck
is breaking unkindly against him.
According to the Ottumwa Courier
the only men that Manager Ned Egan
fears in the c.. A. circuit are DICK
Rohn of Burlington and Bert Hougn
of this city. The manager of the
Speed boys evidently does not forget
past experiences.
OF, a pair of Speed Boys the Bur
lington Gazette says: John House
played like himself yesterday and had
four hits, two of them being two-bag-
gers. This is about the third good
day John has had since the season
started. It will be a treat to see the
happy red man back here again.
Kensel was the only man on the Of
tumwa team who failed to hit yester-
day.
Two old Ottumwans are referred to
as follows in last nights Monmouth
Review: "A million Dollar Outfield,'
at least it looks like It, Russell. Fin
ney and Lund make great trio, and 1t
Is some job to beat the ball over their
heads. All three men are old heads at
the game and can be depended upon
to swat the pill whenever 1t Is real
necessary Russell is one Of the most
treacherous players in the league
when it comes to a critical time, and
at running bases he is demon. Fin
ney and Lund are not at all slow, and
Hough has great confidence that the
combination will work excellently.
The Cincinnati Post contains a
three column picture Of Art Phelan,
under the heading, "Phelan hits as
hard as Wagner" The following &C
complained the picture:
Art Phelan, the new Red third
sacker, hits the ball as hard as any
player in the National league. He
Is one of the lightest players In the
league
