Sporting News: The Southern Cali

After the finish of the first half of the
season there was delay of few days
and a fresh start was made. The

Sioux City Tribune: The Chris
Lindsay benefit netted $302. Not as
much as it should have been, but the
receipt of the draft will prove to this
popular player that the local fans have
not forgotten him. Friday in st. Joe

A ST. Paul writer says Joe Riggert
Saint infielder, is the fastest man in
the league and the best all around ball
player and predicts that he will be in
the big ring next year. Riggert got
his start at Lyons in the State league.

Heinie Zimmerman is 2 ball player
with a German name, a pair of four
teen-h. p. shoulders, epicycloid legs
and an artistic temperament. He
was fetched up in the Bronx, which
made it so famous a cocktail was

plays third base when his tempera-
ment is not too badly inflamed.
These inflammations of the temper
ament cause Evers a lot of worry.
