BOB COLEMAN is
AGAIN A BUSHER
Davenport Backstop, Purchas
ed by Pittsburgh, Is Sold to
Columbus Club.

What goes up must come down is
the stuff which someone pulled"
quite awhile ago, and the dope was
proved to be o. X this morning when
the news was received from Pitts
burgh that Bob Coleman has been rele-
gated to the minors. Much sadness in
Pretzelville.
Coleman was purchased by the Pr
ates early this season and his many
friends and admirers had fond hopes
of his qualifying as a regular bucca-
neer. Although, so far as can be
learned. Coleman never had any ex-
perience as a pirate and never sailed
the raging main, it was hoped that
the main would refrain from raging at
full capacity until the Davenport grad
uate could familiarize himself with his
new surroundings and could become
thoroughly acclimated. Not so. Cole
man reported to Barney Dreyfuss and
broke into the game right off the reel,
catching O'Toole, Hendrix, Adams and
the rest of the premier hurlers. He
worked for several days running and
then secured a season reservation on
the bench, his only exercise being that
of warming up pitchers. At the time
of Bob's arrival, the Pirate backstop-
ping staff was very much hors de
combat, but since that time Simon and
Gibson have been resuscitated. Hence
the change
Coleman has been sold to the Column
and will report Immediately. Three.I
sport writer's, outside of Davenport,
who predicted that Coleman would not
stick in the big show, will now have
a chance to yell: Il told you So

M'ALLISTER ABANDONS
MIDDL EWEIGHT RANKS

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-Announce-
ment was made today by Al McAllis-
ter that his brother, Bob, the Olympic
club boxer, would no longer fight as
a middle-weight.
Bob can't come in at 15S or 100
pounds and be strong enough to make
a showing" he said There's no use
attempting it. Bob is young, has a
good frame and is growing fast. It's
foolish ID try to keep him in the
middle-weight limit We make a mis-
take in the weight he made Tuesday
for Petroskey.
"At 164 pounds or thereabout, I'm
sure he can make a good showing.
However, he needs a long rest and we
won't talk of any more matches for
several months. There's no use con-
sidering Jimmy Clabby, as Bob can't
make the weight that would be re-
quired and keep his strength

Peoria, Ill, Sept. 12.-That the visit
of President John Powers of the Fed
eral league to Peoria this week had
special significance to local baseball
fans is the statement of a prominent
members of the fan family this morn
irg. The statement could not be con-
firmed today but there is a great like
lihood that the Federal league will
make an effort TO get into Three-I
territory
According to the report, President
Powers was in consultation with a
number of directors and stockholders
of the Peoria Amusement company
yesterday regarding the placing of a
Federal league club here. In order
to do this it is said that the sale of
tn local franchise will first be ac-
complished and then there will be
plenty OF outside capital to place the
Federals in Peoria.
That Rock Island will be given the
first chance for the Peoria franchise
was stated yesterday. 1t is said that
the former Three-I town has already
made bid for the franchise and is
willing to close the negotiations as
soon as the stockholders agree. Five
thousands dollars is the price reported
to have been offered the Peoria
Amusement company for its franchise
and players.
The addition of Peoria to the Fed
eral league, together with Buffalo or
Baltimore would make the Federal
league one OF eight clubs instead of
six as heretofore. The league would
include Indianapolis. St Louis, Cleve-
land, Chicago, Kansas City, Pittsburg,
Peoria and Buffalo or Baltimore. The
two last named are now dickering for

show at last. Both are s-ltsd to be
drafted by the Clevelaud Americans
this fall Coach James asi.n.ore was
recently in receipt OF a letter from
Scout George Hum of the Cleveland
team, that he would put in a draft for
both the Bloomer players. Pitcher
Bluejacket is spending several days in
Decatur. and he is authority Tor the
report.
Both players have played great ball
In the Three-I league this season, both
were picked on the all-star league
team by The Herald. Jim Bluejacket
is one OF the best pitchers in the
league, and he is bound to make good,
in the big show.
He has been a consistent winner this
season for a tail-end club. and has
everything a good pitcher needs. His
change OF pace alone should go a long
way in making him stay in faster
company. Mig Hartford is one OF the
best inhelders in the league. Many
claiming him better than Milton Reed,
who was purchased BY the Phillies
from Davenport several months ago.
Hartford has been the shining light on
the Bloomer squad this season, and led
the team for awhile with the stick. He
had been hitting around 800 most OF
the season, but had a slump during
the last month.-Decatur Herald.

leviate any i'll feelings in Pretzeldom,
however, he dominates Walter Holke
for berth at Sack 1. Here is the
way Appel sees it:
Catchers. Billings and Erloff; pitch
ers, Tretter, Willis, Lamline, Blue
jacket and Middleton; first baseman,
Walter Holke 0he only reason we
give him preference is because of his
fine hitting; second base, Nick Kahl:
third base, Baird; shortstop. Russell
Fountain; left field, Max Flack; CEN

ings was the one best bet among the
backstops and Erloff had any OF the
rest skinned. The five pitchers are
about the best the league can show.
Holke is a good fielder. a fine hitter
and has the experience. Kanl Is in a
class by himself, as the averages will
show in number of chances accepted,
besides he IS the most reliable hitter
of all the second sackers in the
league. Fountain pulls more original
clever stuff around short than any
other man and besides is a very good
base runner and a reliable man in the
pinch with the bat. Baird is a bette:
fielder than Isaacs or any other third
sacker and hits far better Flack
needs no alibi. Ward was selected
because he Is invaluable as a utility
man and barring the injury he suf-
fered, would have been one of the
leading hitters of the league this year,
his fielding and throwing is not sur
passed by any center fielder in the
league. Jude has kept Dubuque in
the first division through his hitting
and fielding and we'll deserves tho
position in right on an all star team.
