nerve to compare Frank Baker with
iris Speaker and insinuate that the
home run king was as valuable play
er as the wonderful Tristan.
Baker certainly is a dangerous bat
ter and his home runs cause him to be
feared by many pitchers, but ii is
laughable to compare him with the
greatest outfielder in the business, a
wonderful team worker like Speaker,
who is batting nearly 100 points better
than the former Mackman The latter
also is about the worst third haseman
in the league when ii comes TO field

On ODE Side1ines


The Islanders had an excellent
chance to draw up to a tie with Moline
yesterday but it was not to be. The
same opportunity is offered today if
Bays men win and the Plows lose.
Nearly 1900 fans watched the home
guard go down to defeat before the
Blue Sox yesterday. Few Davenport
ers were present.
Mcbride hit in hard luck, OBrien
capturing two of his long drives after
hard runs.
While seven his teammates were
hitting at a 900 clip, Cutey Fritzie
Erlewein swatted 1000. collecting two
blows and being hit by pitched ball
in three trips to the plate.
Ye author of We Sydelines colyum
bethinks he is jinx. While on a va
cation last week the Islanders ran wild
and upon his return a defeat was reg
istered the first day.
Officials of the Bloomington club
were a bit premature in announcing
the purchase of Joe HOvlik from Mil
waukee in the American association.
Joe has been sent to Kansas City in
the same circuit.
Hannibal fans are talking of start
ing a pennant fund, similar to the plan
advanced by the st. Louis Americans.
One rabid bug donated so as a starter.
Confidence is a big asset. The Mules
are within striking distance.
Clarence Jack, late of the Islanders,
performed in his first game with
Quincy Saturday, lamming out a hit
and scoring two runs in a victory over
the DiStillers.
President Ball of the st. Louis Amer
leans offered a bonus of $4,000 TO the
team if it should go to first place for
a day. He also offered a suit of clothes
to every man on the team if they went
into first division for three days.
