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.
