The sale of Donnelly's stock in the team and the faet that his contract expires this fall lends color to the story. W. E. Hollingsworth, formerly Three-Eye league umpire who deserted Pis post to join" Cedar Rapids, has been released and has made applica tion for his old . place on the staff. There is no vscancy for him now, however. George Cutshaw and Roy Snyder went to Dixon on a visit. Monday and while there wired to Manager Novacek that they had signed with the Dixon Biowns. Novacek got busy on the wire at once with a viw of getting Purtell and Rondebush from Decatur and had almost - oompleted arrange ments to do so. .when he learned i:e was the victim of. a joke. ' I Bloomington announces the sale ot George Cutshaw, second baseman, tol last game with the Bloomers, as he is to be delivered at once. . CuUmaw is playing his second; season with Bloom ington, being known last year as "Stanley Stevens."
