The Statesman said this morning: Dad Gimlin has resigned as- man ager of the Boise baseball club, and will no longer have any connection with the Irrigators. He handed his resignation to President Bossner Monday afternoon. Fred Clark, the veteran first baseman, will tempor arily take charge of the team and act as manager until the directors of the club decide on what they want to do. Gimlin's resignation was volun tary. He resigned because in his op inion the fans did not want him any longer. For some time past the patrons of the game have beea sub jecting Gimlin to one of those pan nings that come to a manager at times often from entirely inex plainable causes. On this occasion the fans seemed to feel that Dad was not getting, all he should receive in efficiency from the club. Considerable adverse criti cism has been directed against him and Gimlin heard of it. He imme diately handed in hJs resignation. Gimlin Insists. , President Bossner did not. wish to receive it, but Gimlin insisted and .the president of the club had to ac cept it. Clark will immediately take charge of the club. A meeting- of the directors will be held at once and at that meeting it will be decided whe ther Clark is to be left in charge or some other manager secured. Gimlin refused Monday night to discuss his resignation. He has had several baseball positions offered him, but he will not accept nr.y cf them. He intends to remain in Boise for a week or 10 days and then leave on a hunting and fishing trip to be gone about a month. He will then return to his home in Ogdcn. BASEBALL GOSSIP "Heck" Mclnnis has been told to be ready to come to Boise at a mo ment's notice. Someone on the pitching staff now is destined to be let go it is reported, and if the let go occurs Mclnnis will be called to Boise. ; - .- o With Pittman having taken French leave from the Irrigator's camp, the Gimlin force is short handed leaving it with the same amount of winning pitchers that Ia Grande has so the handicap on both sides should be annulcd and the two teams be on an equal basis this week. One reason why the La Grande outfield is ranked as the best in the bunch is that the three men h"dp each other under stress. A few days ago on the home lot Bock saw a high one coming when ho was playing close in and he turned and beat it for the fence without looking back. He stopped, turned in his track and speared a hard drive. The fans wondered how he turned the trick but Nadeau and Druhot were coaching him and told him when to stop. o Having crawled from fourth place in the percentage column to within a few points of second, the Pendle ton Bauckaroos arrived home this morning on the early train and to day are resting up for the six game series with Walla Walla. McKune and his men won both series they rlnyed while away from home, an nexing foru of the six played . at Baker and the same number at Boise. rendleton E. O.

Six errors behind Foster cost the game, for the old Badger heaver let the heavy hitting Enterprise ' players down with six hits. Errors alone did the business, Enterprise running four runs over in the seventh, up to which, it had been a scoreless game. ' The game at Wdllowa was excep tionally fast, Wallowa winning two to one. The game was a thriller. At Enterprise, the score was: ENTERPRISE. AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Five dollars reward for return of same to 1502 Fourth St., 5-24-0t " Defeated " doesn't round as harsh aa "beaten," but it doesn't alter the score. Maybe the score would have been changed if your hit had gone just a little bit farther, out of reach of the fielder. Anyway, using a Cork Center ball, you would have that chance. Big leaguers say it is 10 to 15 per cent livelier than the old style rub ber center ball, which makes it just lively enough to give interest to a game, but not too much to make the game a farce. Pitchers say the Cork Center is easier to handle and fielders testify that it fiiea more accurately than the old rubber core style, A. a SPALDING & BROS. 156 Geary SL, Saa Francisco Tba Spaldtnc dealer will ha triad to glrs a calaJoKu to an run.
