ser will keep them that way or not
Gus has bad arm and cannot peg
from third as he should and that was
the reason for the switch.
Harry Kelly, the new infielder sign-
ed by Queisser, arrived In town last
night and will be is the game today.
Just where he will land is not known,
but it is thought he will be placed at
short.
With the infield composed Of Hilly,
Baumann, Kelly and Bresnahan, the
Indians should stay we'll up from now
on II they will only start the batting
bee. The outfield is well taken care
Of as far as fielding goes, but the
team has got tosbegin hitting the pill
or the coast will be continued to the
bottom OF the hill.
It Is plain to see that the Galesburg
outfit is sadly in need OF pitchers.
Their hitting and fielding would
ordinarily put them within few
phints Of the top If their pitchers were
going good. Eberts is said to be great
" worried over the fact that he can
not get a lineson pitcher or two
that can pull him out OF the hole.
One Of the directors of the KeokuK
team was in Burlington Monday and
overheard a conversation in which
!, the fact was brought out that Umpire
Price has told the management OF the
Burlington team that he was going
home on account OF sickness of some
member of his family Instead OF
that, he was umpiring in Keokuk.
When the Burlington fans learned
that this was the case they threaten
ed to take up the matter with Presi-
dent Justice and ascertain whether or
not Prices instructions from the
league head led him to make these
statements Many complaints were
heard In Burlington over the work Of
Spencer.
Hannibal correspondence to var;-
GUS papers says that McCarty's work
| in the game there yesterday was
simply disgusting We can't help
but believe it after the work of some
of the indicator men in the Indian
camp this spring.
| Every man connected with the
league will be sorry to learn Of the
injury to the boss of the Pathfinders.
.Rohn was In the game at all stages
and his loss will be keenly felt by
Burlington. His gameness was shown
by his remark that he would soon be
a bench manager He appointed Cliff
ton as acting manager OF his team
during his absence from the field and
Hayden will arrive today with first
tbaseman. Here's hoping that the team
will go along and make the same
hard fight that they have put up SO
! far with the presence of Rohn
