All Eyes on MerkIe.

Fred Merkle, the man who popu- larized the nickname 'Bonehead after failing to touch second base In a worlds series and thereby losing the pennant for his teams was present Merkle is captain of the Rochester team and showed the big league train ing he has had for about 15 years.
 Our own Rodriguez was not up to his usual form of pulling off spectac- ular stunts and even gave the fans an unusual sight of seeing him drop a fly ball.
 Starr, the catcher, played d good game utnil the end of the eighth in ming when he threw a ball wild to second. However. he showed the fans that he is right in the game at all times and kept the shortstop and sec ond baseman on their toes with his unexpected attempts to catch a nap hing runner. When Starr hits the old apple hes teps right into it, usu- ally sending it for a distance that makes the fielder do a hundred yards in double quick time.
 Fiedler, the New Orleans repre- sentative. is a rangy boy and from all appearances does justice to the dizzy corner.
 Gene Martin was feeling fit yester- day and obtained a, timely hit which helped the locals to score.
 Stauffer, who relieved Leasure in the tvyirling position, pitched in mid season form. His batting was ex- ceptionally good. Stauffer has as stunned a new stance at the plate this year which makes him look as though he meant business.
