Mcl.ure Building. Lil Sager Purchased; Two Orioles Released KRONAU AND WEST TURNED* BACK TO BALTIMORE. Sager Joins Team Yesterday.—King Sent Home 6n Account of Ill ness—Humphries Better. _ (By Carl. P. Leatherwood.) | The Intelligencer was in receipt of 1 a telegram from Business Manager i Kverett V. Robinson of the Wheeling’ team last evening announcing that | “Rod" Kronau and Third Baseman West hail been turned hack to the Baltimore club: that Chester King had been sent home on account of illness: that Montgomery and K ninety would tie lti the ganu^ today or tomorrow and last, but not leas’ that l.ll Sager i had been signed to take up the duties at the third station. The release of Kronau^ hav been ireely predicted by. the close followers of the Smokes as | he has been showing bur little int provemont of his greatest fault—wild ness. The oriole has spool to burn and a rross lire delivery tTlat is tan , taltzing, but be lacked that one essen tlnl control. Yesterday he struck out .eleven met. but allowed five bases on i balls, besides bitting a player and j throwing the pill away. As for West. Mongottiery states in :» letter to Secretary Treasurer W. W Irwin that he was onl> a k, 1 and was entirely too young for Central league !company. Monty also s'.ilcs In his letter that Hull llurhaui refuses ab solutely to gi*t out of the g.inie r> - gardless of the fact that he i is |i m tootni* 11< 1 to eonsuR n phvsieian two times sin <• leaving here owing to ill. bees King has also been tinder a doctor’s care since leaving Terre Haute and Is in bad shape, lie will likely arrive home todav, and will 1*> retained as a utility man. The announcement that l.ll gager (will play third will no doubt meet with the popular approval of local fan ticni as the lad is a wonder around that station, and possesses exceptional ability in running the sacks, lie is not the slicker that King is. hut will till a hole at third, lie whs purchased outright from Evansville. Willis llumobrles. who pitched good ball for the locals last season, hut who h .s been unable to report this year owing to illness writes Secre tary Irwin that he is recovering slow ly and will Join the Smokes Just as soon as he Is able. Inflelder Kohl, of the American As social inn. will Join the T*-rre Haute club today at Fort Wayne, and as a r -suit Johnny Mark well will he shifted from third base to Callahan's place in the Held. The Hottentots want Thick Stoner, of the lino linos. Wheeler wants to trade Pitcher Reynolds. Catcher War ing and one other player for the Evas' htirler That man Wheeler Is certainly some figurehead when it comes to trading, hut the trouble of It is that he wants everything or noth ing. The Smokes Iwll lineup against the Renders to day, ami with anything like an even break should pull out the victors. Rov Montgomery. boss of The Smokes, b -came very talkative over in Evansville, something unusual, and this is what he said 'We were going I'tie until these accident* overtook us at Terre Haute " \\'e had taken on a •tinning streak and were headed for the top. Then King got sick. I broke a ligament, anil now Hull Hurham is sit's. I have wired for a man from I !hI‘. I more. I don't know what hts name Is, hut they say lie's a crack rhat'll fill one of the vacancies, and | Durham and I are going to get back | into the gam# ns soon as possible." Outfielder McKelvey, of Hellalre. who has been playing with the Frank fort team of the Blue Grass I/eacue. has been released or loaned to the , Maysville club of the same league. Ihirinc the tennis absence the in field at the Island ball park Is being improved by the groundkeeper. Harry Hammond former Springfield i and Fort Way ne pitcher, is In Dayton ; waiting to secure a job with some class A or It team. Hammond has . .ins? returned from the south where he has been playing with Nashville, I and says that the heat is fierce.
