Base Ball Team For Calmar.


AS has generally been the rule
with the citizens and base ball en-
thusiasts of Calmar, they have wait
cd until along in July when one can
begin to look for settled weather,
before organizing ball team. The
first part of the season is generally
so rainy (and this year has been no
exception) that it is losing
proposition and does not pay until
one can be assured that most of the
games booked can be played. The
base ball organization for this year
was perfected the first of the week
The ball team is going TO be better
than ever and will play any team that
is willing to cross bats with them.
The first game will be played on the
Calmar grounds as soon as possible
when everyone should turn out and
make the gate receipts. Wire net
ting has been stretched from the
grand stand down below the first

BLAMES POOLS FOR LACK
OF BASEBALL PATRONAGE

An International League dopester
who has a penchant for delving into
things has discovered, In his opinion,
the reason why baseball is not draw
ing as we'll this year as in the past.
He lays it to the numerous pools"
for runs which are kept up week in
and week out during the season. The
fans, he claims, lose interest in the
race and watch only to see how many
runs the team they hold happens to
make. In fact, they root for other
teams than their own to win for the
reason that it will bring a few cents
into their pockets. Another good
reason is the fact that the game has
developed few really great phenoms
during the past two years, and the
fans like to see new faces. They tire
of seeing the old. 1t is easy to find
excuses, but to find practical rene
dies is another and far more difficult
problem.

was an excusable accident. however,
though very costly. Titwiler, Fab

three runs. Every one of the hits
were clean-cut. Schultz kept the
Tigers down in fine style from that
time on, though they got two on
one through an error and another on

only one Tiger reached third base,
and Billy Zimmerman was the only
Bengal to get there yesterday. He
stopped on his way around the cush-

hit, but he died hard in each of his
four trips to the plate. The score:

HERZOG SETS SWIFT PACE
FOR HIS CINCINNATI REDS

The S57l advance money given to
Pitcher Schneider by the Chicago
Federal League club before he signed
with the Cincinnati Nationals, to
whom he was sold by the Seattle
Northwestern League club last Thurs
day. was returned by registered mail
yesterday by D. Z. Dugdale, president
of the Seattle club. He received a
telegram from August Hermann,
president of the Cincinnati club, ad-
vising him to send the money to Chi
cago Immediately.
Manager Griffith and Clyde Milan,
of the Washington Club, have been
reinstated following their trouble
with silk O'Loughlin, which ended in
suspension for both.
The Cincinnati Club has lifted the
suspension on Marsans, who is re-
ported to have signed with the St
Louis Feds. The ten days will be up
tomorrow.
Vaudeville and motion pictures will
be given at Ebbets Field every night.
Experts say that Stuffy McInnisi
because of his youth, has finer pros
poets than any other player in the
majors of reaching Wagner's 3,000-hit
record.
1t is funny the conflicting reports
on how the trip around the world
hurt some players and benefited
others. Sam Crawford has been hit
ting harder than ever. Joe Benz has
pitched only one no-hit game and one
one-hit game since he came back,
besides other victories. On the other
hand, Iris Speaker can't seem to hit
in his old stride-so they blame it
on the world tour up in Boston.
Where are the dopesters who
picked the Boston Braves to finish in
the first division?
Jack Klenow, former Yank catcher,
is scouting for Montgomery. and was
at the Polo grounds yesterday. Wants
to draft some of the Giants or Cubs.
Eth? The Southern League may not
be faster, but it is a warmer league
than either of the majors.

Every one of the Gray-Tiger battles
was a hard fought pitchers battle.
The Tigers won the first game-Sun-
day. 81; captured the second, FL;
lost the third, 10 and the fourth, 81.
Providence, therefore, fell one run
shy of Newarks' tally in the run
getting line. The Bengals outfielded
the Grays and the teams appeared to
be pretty evenly matched in hitting
that is, neither met the ball in it's
best stride Clarence Kraft has run
into a little slump, which is causing
him some trouble. 1t was to be eX-
pected that he would not jump right
in and burn up the league, but after
he is in the game for a week or two
more different results may be looked
for. The Bengals went to Baltimore
TO-DAY for a three-game series, and il
things turn out right Bert Tooley may
be seen in the Tiger line-u when re-
suits are flashed in. Bert limps a
little but his hitting is needed, and
needed badly, by the Tigers.

8engals in SIump-Two Men
Reach Third in Two
Contests.

The fourth and final game of the
Providence-Newark series, played
yesterday at Wiedenmayer's Park,
ended in a defeat for the champion
Tigers. The score was 81 For the
fourth straight time Harry Smith
sent in a southpaw and the Grays
got so disguised at hitting left-hand-
ed pitching-or rather batting against
left-handed pitehing-they had not
hit much-Bill Donovan's men got to-
gether in one inning, pounded out
three TALES and stitched up the con-
test. 1t was the first time in the four
games that Providence managed to
get more than one run-that is, credit
for more than that. They did get a
pair of tallies in Mondays fracas,
but the last point was rubbed out in
the ninth because Newark could not
finish the game, due to rain.

club of the New England League,

Nationals in the game with Boston.
He played only a short time. 1t is
probable he will be given a further
tryout, as the league rules allow the
use of a player in three games before
he is signed.
