Sampson plays first base well, also.

Muscatine Journal: HasbrooK, firsy
baseman and outfielder, reported to
Manager Frank Boyle here today ana
was seen in a Musky uniform this af-
ternoon. He has been playing with
the Oshkosh club of the Illinois-Wis-
consin club this season Hasbrook was
signed early In the season by Boss
Boyle but was given permission to re-
port late SO as to permit the player
to complete his term at Evanston
academy. Since the close of school he
has been with the Oshkosh club
1t Is doubtful though that Hasbrook
will remain long the property of the
Musky club. He is said to be fast
ball player but 1t Is known that Man
ager Manush has made overtures to
Manager Boyle for the player. Manush
is shy an outfielder and yesterday was
forced to use two pitchers in the out
garden. Whether or not the deal will
be closed is problematical.
Hasbrook is we'll known here by
basket ball fans. He played with the
Grundy Center high school for several
years and was regarded as the clever
est forward in Iowa Should Has
brook remain with the Sterlings it is
thought that complete change in the
playing positions of the team will be
effected, as it is more than probable
that Hasbrook will play in the outfleld.
The Eagles have not been in the
minority at the ball games in Cedar
Rapids during the last few days. Safe
to say there were several Eagle fans
from Keokuk who warmed the bleach
ers, and drank red soda pop.
Happy Jack Grogan, who was one
of the Musky Fingers two years ago
but who since has played in the Three
Eye League, was Wednesday signed
by the Keokuk club. He broke into
the game in the ninth inning when he
ran for McGaffgan following the lat
ter's single. For the last two sea
sons Grogan has been on the pitching
staff of the Peoria club but recently
was traded to the Lincoln club of the
Nebraska State League. He refused
to report to the latter club and was
subsequently given his release.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: After freez-
ing In the cellar since April 80, the
opening day of the Central Association
season, Cedar Rapids yesterday finally
crawled out and pushed the Kewanee
Boilermakers therein. During that
long time of supremacy in holding the
last place in the percentage column
the Rabbits had relief only once. That
was about two weeks ago when Ke.
wnaee was tied for the bottom and
kept the Bunnies company.
Muscatine Journal. Manush says he
is the "champeen hard luck guy of the
universe" FRS. he loses Penny, he
cries, then McGaffigan is injured, then
he has to play three pitchers in his
lineup. 1--WE shud wury," as the high
school laddie says.
