SYFERT ALSO HANDS
DANVIlLE A KNOCK

"Danville is a rotten baseball town"
So says Manager Syfert, of the Bloom
ington baseball club. "Sy' has played
in a score of different towns and
ought to know. Further than that he
will ask at the meeting in October
that Danville be cast out of the league
because of the lack of interest here.
He makes even a stronger talk than
Rowland, of Dubuque. "Sy" asserts
that the telephone fans" are what
hurts the game here. They sit around
down town, call up the park, criticize
and roast the players, complain about
the loss of games and do nothing to
encourage the club. "Sy" probably
forgets that some of these fellows
oftentimes spend as much as a half
dollar for baseball during the season.
Manager Syfert asserts that Dan
vile will not make more than thirty
thousand for the season, if the attend
ance goes even that high. He calls
attention to the fact that Waterloo,
former league member which wants
back in the fold, had 10000 attendance
up to the end of June and he will in
sist that Danville be ousted and Wat
erloo brought into the league.
'Danville has a few good FANS" he
says in conclusion, very few, how
ever. 1t does not seem right to de-
prive them of the game, but it is poor
business policy to keep town which
will not support team as strong as
this. The average fan, the bug who
sees the game only on the saloon and
cigar store bulletin boards or who
gets it over the phone has no right
to be considered. He is a detriment.
1t is he who always knocks. He may
spend few cents during the season,
but not much. l hope the town is
ousted from the league for non
attendance. I will vote for it at the
meeting, if the attendance is below
$4,000"

under his steering wheel, but fell out
just as the car finally righted. He died

and Wins in 4:34:52.

Elgin, Ill, July 5.-Charles Bake,
hero Of Chicago's motordrome and
other board tracks, yesterday added
the national motorcycle road lace to
his long string of victories. Astride
an Indian machine, Bake easily took
the Chicago Motorcycle clubs big
event from a field of forty-five other
contestants. He drove a heady race
and was in the lead from the ten lap
to the finish of the ESQ grind His
elapsed time was 4:34:52, giving him
an average speed of fifty-five and
four-tenths miles per hour for the dis
lance.
This Independence day anniversary
witnessed an Indian uprising featured
by the lifting of many scalps. Indian
motorcycles cleaned up in scandalous
fashion and left poor pickings for the
two wheelers of other makers. With
six machines entered the Indians
grabbed off the first five places and
also took eighth. Running second to
Bake and nearly four minutes behind
the leader came Erwin G. Baker, with
Charles Gustafson, Jr.. third. Paul
Warner fourth, and Billy Teutner
fifth. The succeeding positions were
taken by l.. S. Taylor on a Merkel,
Carl F. Goudy on an Excelsior, S. B.
Lonberger on an Indian, L. P. Stone
on a Thor and Russell II. Firkins on
4 Harley Davidson.
The morbidly inclined we're disap-
pointed, for the race developed moth
ing that might go 70 make this a
Roman holiday. The event was run
off without a single serious accident,
| which is considered remarkable in
view of the large number of competi-
/ tors. Only two spills were reported TO
/ the officials. Billy Teutner fell in
rounding Hornbecks' turn, but was
( thrown clear of his machine and was
able TO remount and continue. In the
eleventh lap one of B. L. It's immor,
tails came 10 grief when Gray Sloop
skidded on the backstretch and fell.
/ His injuries, however, consisted OF
only a bruise or two.
The race was rather tame for the
spectators to watch, for there were
/ few thrills. Aside from two or three
brushes past the stand there was
nothing to the race OF a blood stirring
nature. The crowd was estimated at
about 5000. Summary:

Chicago, July eighteen thousand
parboiled bugs celebrated lockjaw sea-

hostile curving wizard at the Cub park
yesterday. For five sultry, bl!stering
hours the assembled populace sat
through the bargain bill, which was
split "fifty-fifty," then filed cheerfiy to
the outer world, each casting a vote
for "Three-Fingered" Brown.
That poor, decrepit, doddering old
fellow discarded by the west siders
was in hard luck. All he could do
was to throttle the pals of former days,
banking them, to 0, in the opener
on six unavailing swats. With Larry
Cheney up in the afterpiece the Tro-
jams COPIED, 5 to 3, and went to third
place, vicious batting spree turning
the trick in the eighth.

O'TOOLE UNDER
THE SURGEONS KNIFE

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 5.-The hopes
OF the Pirates for the championship
were crushed yesterday morning when
Marty O'Toole, the S22, 500 finger.
was taken to the hospital to undergo
the knife. Yesterday morning he was
discovered to be suffering from ap-
pendicitis and the physicians attend
ing him declared that an immediate op-
GRAFTON was imperative.
A few hours later, when the Pirates
were battling with the Cardinals, he
was under the influence OF an anaes-
thetic. Less than a month ago Mrs.
unoole, a bride OF less than six
months, also had an operation per-
formed for Appendicitis and she is
now conYalescing.
Marty O'Toole will be unable TO play

There is weeping and lamentation
In Davenport today, for the Blue Sox
spent anything but a sane Fourth up
at Dubuque. 1t was a massacre, a
food and an earthquake combined.
When the smoke rolled away from
the battlefield, the Pretzels gathered
up the wounded and dying and figured
the losses. They discovered that they
had dropped both games of the double
header. and had incidentally dropped
from second to fourth place in the
percentage column. Trot out the
crepe, Steve, there's a death in the
family.
Gregg held the Sox to six lonesome
bingles in the first contest, while his
teammates were grabbing 10, but at
that the Dubs had to go a few to cop
the, gumbo, showing over the winning
tally In the ultimate stGnza, after vain
~ attempting TO break the tie for three
succeeding innings. Cooper, the new
twirler from the Cotton States league,
did the slabbing for Davenport and
pitched a nice game.

Hi Jasper. the human fountain, work

his game the day before and repeated
the dose yesterday.
The Pretsel lineup suffered several
alterations. OLeary going to right and
Pat Flaharty TO second base, the Elgin
Dutchman being out of it, Pat proved
that he could double in brass by ac-
cepting nine chances without an error
in the first game. The son are back
home this afternoon for a series with
Dubuque. The score:

SOUNDS ALL RIGHT, BUT

If the Boomers can win both games

can be turned upside down, almost, by
