day and was given a chance to show what he could do against his former mates when he was sent in to bat for Red Day in the sixth inning. Tex couldn't ever touch the pill and was sent back to do some more bench warming. Tex is slated to be the Crackers third sacker, and it would not be surprising to see him on the hot corner in today's fracas.
 It is expected that Charley Frank will put Eddie Lennox on the ineligible list and sign Finis Wilson and at the same time place Tex on third With Tex in the lineup, the Crackers would have a strong bunch of hitters. Finis Wilson was in a uniform yesterday, and it is thought that Frank will give the former Pelican more time to round into form before he shoves him back into the battle
 Charley has about 16 or r players travelling with the team at the present time. He has but one catcher, Perkins, and that accounts why he can carry both Tommy McMillian and Tex Me Donald. Joe Clancy is occupying the bench on the ineligible list, as is Finis Wilson. He has but four pitchers, however, and that gives room for an- other player. Southpaw Ad Brennan will be his choice against the Barons today, while Dick Robinson will be Moley's mound selection.
 The victory yesterday pulled the Barons within three games of the 500 mark. A couple of more wins from the Crackers in as many days will mean that the Barons' advance into the first division. Gosh, but that would look good. And we believe that the Barons can do tiff it don't rain. That's our only enemy now.
 Joe Tinker has come forward with a wild whoop against Bill Klem, the Tener arbiter, and insists that the baseball business is not wide enough to harbor both gents. Either Tener must decorate Mr. Klem with the well known tinware. so Tinker states, or he will quit the game.
 There has been no noticeable rush to comply with the wishes of the Cub pilot. just as was the case when Charley Herzog had his runin with Charley Rigler and allowed as how he would go back to his Maryland canteloupe farm, unless the umpire was cast aside.
 You will note that MT. Rigler goes along arbiting at a steady clip While there are no end of rumors bobblng around that Buck Herzog's days as boss across the Rhine can be counted on a few fingers.
 It may or may not have escaped your notice, but this brother act or the Coveleskie brothers just now IS knocking them from their seats in the Stanley Tiger Harry, the famous Giant killer, are racing along like swan of fast gaited thoroughbreds. Which they are.
 With ii wins out of Is stars. the vo,1nger member of the Coveleske family is topping his Polish brother by a single victory. And the junior member of the brother act has col lected the biggest part of his flying start to fame from brother Harry teammates. Three times has Indian Stanley ripped open the hide of the ilngaleer, although twice the Tiger horde has clawed the Clevelander to bits.
 The former wrecker of Giant bunt- ing hopes but once has turned Stan ley's mates back, though but once has he taken the count from Lee Fohls outfit.
 The down and out Cubs are falling for a lot of criticism these days, espe- cially when the White Sox are travel mfg at such a merry clip. One Chi cago scribe is guilty for the following; "Last night,'' he said with shining
 eyes,
 q dreamed that Chance was back; Iraop,ad that Steiuy's wallOp
 Once more led the old attack; I seemed to see Joe Tinker make
 An old-time Tinker spear,
 And hear J. Evers barking in
 The shaking umpires ear; And like a dream of heaven,
 Where the feathered angels sing, I heard the shoots of Brownie
 Hit the mitt of Johnny King" "I cheered for Circus Solly
 As he cracked one on the nose; I saw old Jimmy Sheckard pick
 A wallop from his toes;
 And with the old-time flash Of speed, Agility and science,
 We mauled the Phillies to pulp
 And stamped upon the Giants. He closed his eyes in retrospect,
 He sighed with jtNy-and then I kindly shot him through the heart
 Before he woke again.
