That this is wrong is proved by the

The talk advanced by the anti-Mid-

TO the fans TO keep off of him and let
him know that they are willing to

With John House out OF the OF
tumwa lineup, Egan will have to
scratch around in some lively manner
to replace the Indian. The hitting that
he has done SO far this season has
helped Ned win many of his games.
1t seems mighty poor policy for the
fans to ride player because he makes
a mispiay or two. At the moment it
occurs it Is natural for them to get
after him, but when they keep it up
for days and weeks at a time, it is
bound to have bad effect, not only
on the player who is so unfortunate
as to be the object OF their wrath, but
or the whole team. Let a baseball
team know that the fans of their home
! city are willing and anxious to ride
them for errors and their anxiety to
keep from making them will be the
cause of many bobbde ct critical
times.

the Indians fourteen hits, he gave six
bases on balls and hit one man This

Eddie Herr spoke in the highest
terms of his opinion Of Art Queisser's
ability as manager yesterday. The
Cannibal chief says there is no reason
why Queisser should not have team
that will land him well UP in the pen

ball players and managers all over the
country is one of the most valuable
assets manager can have according
TO Herr and this is one of Arts strong
points. He is also aggressive and is
fighting for every inch on the ball
field. Herr says that when the Indians
get a man on the bases they are the
most dangerous team in the league.
