Vol. yin FALLS CITY, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JUNE, 16 IVII Number 32 BASE BALL COMMENTS Written By One of The Most Ardent Bare Ball Fans. See How Your Favorite Player Stands in The Line-up. After seeing i'll the teams in the league except Shenandoah, the local fans are convinced that Falls City is in a class by itself. Auburn has a good fielding team but as batters they fall far below Clarinda Marysville, Ne braska City and Falls City. Woods of Falls City and John son of Shenandoah are the best pitchers in the league. I - Clarinda’s second baseman is a courteous fellow but a very dan gerous man with thejbat. If Bob McCabe keeps on bit ing at his present stride lie will he hard to keep in this company another year, lie not only leads the local team ir base hits but lie is far and away ahead on extra bases Trainer lias been the most con sistent hitter on the team. lie has failed to hit in but one game on the home grounds this year. Andy McNeil is not only the finest third baseman in the lea gue but with possibly one excep tion he is superior to any third baseman in the western league. Drum has taken a bad slump in his batting but lie continues to field his position to the limit. Without Jack Forester the pres* ent team could not have been got ten together, neither would the team have learned the inside game as well as they play it if Jack were not at the head, but at the same time the manager lacks a great deal of being a good first baseman, lie has been crippled a good deal this spring and may go better after awhile. Eddie Finch has not been well and as a consequence has not been pitching in his true form. The fans have not forgotten and will not forget that Finch won the penant for us last year, and to a man they believe that he will help us win another one this year. Tappen has not as yet hit his stride either in the field or at the bat. Last year lie was the leading second baseman in the league and when be rounds to form lie will be at the top again. Tony Yanderhill is one of the most valuable players Falls City lias ever had. lie knows the game from the beginning and bis coaching of the pitchers is a con stant delight to the home fans and equally confusing to the op position. Steno has received the most bases on balls, McCabe lias made • he most hits and hit for the most bases, Tappen has made the 1110s sacrifice bits and Trainer has. hit in the most consecutive games. Our team has received the kind est treatment in every’ town ex cept Nebraska City. There they were called roughnecks, robber; and like names. Nebraska City charges that Falls City is aheai because the patrons of the game; are such rowdies that the umpir es are afraid to decide againsl us for fear of being mobbed am mistreated. Black, the outfielder that we let Marysville have, and Sackett the second baseman we let go are l.otl hitting above three hundred. Strange as it may seem Mnrys villt is developing into a danger ous team and one that our boys will have to watch. They are hitting the ball out of the lot and have murdered some of the best 1 ’M ers in the league. Duran, whom we released, has won most of his games for Shen andoah though he has been hit very hard in every game. Nebras ka City made but one run with twelve hits off him. That is eer i.iiuly lucky pitching. The following are the batting averages for the home games.
