Notes Of the Game.

Red Sox again today and tomorrow.
The two errors chalked against the
tribe yesterday were in way, easily
excusable. Hensling was given a
dement, for dropping fly ball in left
field when he and Pennington collid-
ed. Hunter booted Meinert's ground
er in the second inning, Lunte having
passed between him and the bali q
second before 1t reached him. It shut
off the second baseman's view OF the
ball just long enough to cause him
to muss It.
It was a rough battle, tina. Of yes
terday. Sweet was hit on the foot by
vicious foul tip. early in the game.
1t was evident that 1t bothered the
big catcher for a long time. He was
finally relieved in the seventh by
Marshall
In the fifth inning Gennins was In
jured in the same way, q foul tip
striking him on the shin. Gennins
said after the game that the ball had
hit him In exactly the same spot tina.
another foul tip had struck him while
he was umpiring a game at Ottumwa
the other day. The pain made him
sick and he was unable to continue
the game for several minutes.
Whitley Hensling took dangerous
roll In the first inning. He had
grounded to Lowthers and was trying
to beat the throw to first. As he
reached the bag, going at terrific
pace, he tripped and took bad spill.
It was lucky that 1t did not hurt him
as he brought back from the road
trip bad hand and spiked leg.

ABBOTT CUTS OFF
HEADS Of THREE
Leydeeker, Donovan and Herring
Given Blue slips by Boss
Before the Game
Yesterday.
WERE WEAK AT BAT
Five Men Available for Use in the
outf7eId at Present and
Others Expected
Soon.

Leydecker, Donovan and Herring
were releas ed yesterday. The frst
named, Leydecker, Is q young catcher
from st. Louis. In many respects he
looked very good, but he lacked the
knowledge OF the game that q catcher
should have above every other man
on the team. Leydecker played in but
one game during the championship
season, that being the last three in
nings OF game 1t Waterloo.
Donovan reported but recently, he
and Hunter coming together from
New Mexico q few days before the
season opened Donovan was placed
at once in right field where it was
expected he would make good. His
batting, however, WIS not up to ex-
pectations, the fact which accounted
for his release.
Herring was among the early OF.
rivals of the training season. He
was used in left 1ield from the start.
and until recently has worked IN
nearly every game. His one weak
ness was with his stick. and like
Donovan, that accounts for hts re-
lease.
Five Men Available.
Rogerson, Marshall. Pennington,
CHM, and Mccullough are Ill avail
able for use in the outfiel0 1t pres
emit, while Dale, = new outfielder, IL
expected In short time and others
may also be secured.
In his drst appearance hero, Mar
shall made . very favorable impres-
sion. He worked in right field for
the first six innings, taking Sweets
place behind the bat 1T the start Of
the seventh. Marshall is big EEL
low, aggressive and full Of pepper.
He handles his bat as II he and It
were on good terms He got two
hits, one a triple, and walk in nvs
trips to the plate yesterday.
Those who have been following the

Sporting Views
By tie Editor

Abbot planned to work Mccullough
again in today's game. Mack worked
only long enough to get warmed up
yesterday and the boss figures that he
will go back in today and clean up.
With any kind of control Mack can
hold the visitors to one or two runs.
After Burlington, comes Clinton for
three game series. Clinton Is about
ready to give Burlington a close
chase for the top of the percentage
column. Hough seems to have one Of
tha strongest clubs in the league this
year, his men being for the most part,
old heads who know the game. Smith
son, one Of his pitchers, is find of
the season. He holds the strtke-out
record for one game so far this year.
and Sc ems headed for no-hit game
record, as well.
Cedar Rapids comes here immedi-
ately after Clinton. giving the In
dams nine stright games at home with
first division clubs. After that they
hit the road for six games with
Cedar Rapids and Clinton, after which
they return here for engagements
with Muscatine and Ottumwa.
After Saturdays game, fans will
get their first real chance to get q
line on the relative strength OF the
teams in the league. Before this
series with Keokuk, Burlin gton had
played but two clubs. Judging from
the results Of those games, the Red
Sox were clear out of this leagues
class. They look different. however,
when playing against the Indians.
Sunday they meet Cedar Rapids. If
the Red Sox can clean up on the
Dummies, Ottumwa, Clinton and Mus
catine like they havs on Marshall
town and Waterloo we will hand
them the roses, but not until then.

Whitaker and Pennington rode home.
Miller supplanted Watson and Gott-
schall, the first man to face him,

of the inning, mussing the ball till
Abb reached second. Giffin rolled out,
but Marshall, batting for the second
time in that inning, singled, bringing
the agony Of joy for the bleacherites.
Get More In Sixth.
OF the remaining periods of tho
game only the sixth proved eventful
for The locals. A walk and five hits,
one triple, brought in five more
runs in this period. Hensling lead off
with single, stealing second. Gott-
schall walked and Abbott laid the
ball in center field for safety, scor-
ing Hensling. Gottschal1 stopped on

Unbounded Joy.
Owing to the bad weather the crowd
was small, but the game was as good
as any that has been seen here this
year. When the Red Sox. made
by their reputation, took
three runs in the .hird and another In
the fourth, giving them two run
lead over the Indians, hope practically
died in the hearts of the fans who had
hoped to see Mccullough repeat his

nothing bu. unadulterated, unbounded
Joy that continued in evidence during
the rest of the game.

Not long ago the world sat back an called Fred Merkle first prize "Jack"-the kind with big, long ears. He pulled big world series bone, caused 3O,OO0 fans to groan- some cursed an some shed tears. Poor Fred was sure in deep dis grace when he forgot to touch that base-it sealed the Giants doom. The wise ones whispered: Bye, bye, Fred. your playin' days are done" !"

 He's mighty careful of his feet. There aint much chance that hell repeat the famous bull he made.
