renounced all claims to outfielder Ace
Downey of Oklahoma City. Downey re
cently succeeded Jay Andrews as man
ager of the Oklahoma City team.
St. Louis' has purchased outfielder
Northen and pitch erg Malley and
Mitchell from Houston. The men will
join the Browns Sept. 7. They were
recommended by first baseman Newman.
Northen is the. man thlrt St. Louis ex
pects the mobt of. He has been doing
exceptionally jCast fielders and heavy
batting this year. The two pitchers
have also ben playing- consistent ball.
i Gus Fisher, of Graham, Tex., is xnalc
jig good as a catcher with the Port
land team of the Pacific coast league.
He is admitted to be the best catcher
In that, league and is batting .290. Sev
eral of the Texas leagues will make an
effort to get him Into this league next
year.
Ahe Jolly, the Fort Worth outfielder,
Is again in uniform. He will not be
able to play for a week yet
Matticks, the outfielder from the
Western association, signed by the
Dallas Giants, has reported for duty.
He comes with a good record.
i
Fans are speculating as to what a
team might do if it had" a batting order
as follows: Yantz, Mclver, Coyle, Stin
son, McDonald, Mowry, Gowdy and
Mitchell. Some are willing to bet thia
aggregation of Texas players could hold
their own in major league company.
It Is announced from Waco that '
Dugey, Waco's crack second baseman, j
has been sold to the St. Louis Americans.
He will report at the end of the, season.
It is known that several teams, in
cluding the Chicago White Sox and the
New Orleans team, were after him but
It seems the St. Louis Americans closed
the deal.
Griffin, formerly with the San An
tonio team, continues his star pitching
with Atlanta. He recently shut our. the
fast Memphis team. Since rejoining
Atlanta he has wonv-more than two
thirds of the games pitched.
a
Bill Bailey, the Texas side wheeler
with the St- Louis Americans, has lost
another game. JThls is no surprise as
Bill has won only one game during the
entire season.x .
M
Eberline, the new "first baseman of
the Fort Worth Panthers, has been
hitting the, ball with a vim since he
joined thcleam. He has an average of
.269. '"

It looks as If Loudell, the Waco
player, was going to make good with
Detroit. A few days ago he was sent
in to relieve Stroud, after the latter had
been batted out of the box. For the
remainder of the game he held Wash
ington to two hits. Detroit paid 3000

Tesreau of Shreveport was the only
pitcher in the league who was larger.
Bumpas, the new pitcher for the Waso

catcher Deak LeBrand, of the Douglas
club. Accompanied by left fielder Kel
ley and his ditty bag, Le Brand left
Wednesday morning for Seattle to join

blow to the local fans and every effort
was made to 5iave the clever catcher
stay during the remainder of the sea
son. He was offered $300 a month in
the Coast league and this v.-as one of
the reasons he decided to make the
change. Deak is also a warm friend
of manager Fred Weed, or the Seattle
club, and is anxious to play under.him.

for the Seattle club.
Manager D A. O'Donovan has had
offers from Fort Worth, of the Texas

bition series with El Pasq these games

Le Brand, the Douglas catcher -who
has gone to Seattle, was without ques
tion the best catcher in the Cactus
league. He handled tne club like a
veteran in the field, bat-ted in pinches
and caugfct a splendid game. He was
largely responsible for Harry Kane's
abilitv to come back, as he knows
