Hawks Rehire Andre in Right Field After Release
The Hawks bring back veteran outfielder Andre, restoring him to his old beat in right field after a recent release. Rain halted play in Rock Island this morning, with a possible postponed game leading to a Friday doubleheader. Cedar Rapids projects a roughly $5,000 deficit, while Waterloo’s Sunday game against the Bunnies aims to draw a larger crowd. Kenneth Hunt, a Des Moines West heavyweight, is eyed as a potential sparring partner for Jack Dempsey. The Iowa U football team may boast beefy linemen next fall, including Chatterton, a junior at 239 pounds, among others. Ottumwa ridicules Dubuque for past disgraces, hoping the Packers lose to avoid a fight in future meetings.
