The loss of Blades will be a great
one to Bill Hardie, coach of the

every game TO date. The team will
be minus Blades for about six
weeks, according TO. Coach Hardie.

COSCARART FINISHES
FINEST IN SOUTHERN

- { OSCARART probably was the
best player in the Southern
Association the last two months
OF 1888 season" asserts Thomp-
son, who has played plenty OF
second base himself.
He was coming along rapidly
-. getting hits off the same stuff
that fooled him earlier in the sea-
son"
Coscarart wound up hitting .317.
IF he hits .260, he'll stay in the
majors, says Thompson.
How he can make that double
play!
He certainly knows his way
around second base.
4 don't believe he made more
than two or three errors"
With the keystone combina-
ton of Leo DurOcher and Cos
carart, the Dodgers ought to
please even Mung0 defcnsivcly.
And Thompson is certain that
Coscarart will hit enough.
He was getting three base hits
to right and left center" Fresco
explains.

Clarence Rowland of the Cubs and
Hank DeBarIy of the Giants,

as 10 games.
And the more hecr he drinks
