Pittsburg (open date).
Seigle, Of lola, leads the league in the
number of home-runs made this year.
He has four to his credit, two being
made in Topeka. Terrence. of Pittsburg
comes next, with three marked UP for
him. all of which went over the left
garden fence in this city in a double
header on one afternoon.
This is the last appearance OF this
item. Pitcher Lawson has definitely
informed the Sedalia management that
this summer. Incidentally the Gold
bugs have let several good pitchers get
away waiting for their crack collegian.
Big Fredericks is making a great
hit at Fort Scott with his playing on
first base The fans down in that cOun-
try have almost forgotten that Earl
Green once graced that bag.
In order to be strictly entomologicaI,-
Sedalia should name its team Cray
backs and not Greyhounds, as has been
decided since new uniforms have been
put on the men. Reason: They have
been called Goldbugs for two years
past.
And still they talk about Roy Bevis
at Sedalia. Here is the latest: Roy
Bevis made the most sensational catch
in left field the other day that has
been recorded in the history of the
league. He made a long run backwards
and to the left. and when he took in
the fly he was standing in a pond of
water almost knee deep. His field work
has made a great hit with Sedalia fan

Here is a bunch respectfully dedica-
ted to the association: Lining is a
second baseman. A trial of the little [
fellow at Freils place, it is believed, !

Topeka and if he can keep up the pace |
will be one of the tOp-nOtchers after /
another season. Fast as a ghost on his |
feet. and with wing like Il slingshot, !
Lining ought to be able to make an
infeld sacker with the best Of them.
1t was stated from responsible sources /
that Captain Dud Rlsley of the lola team /
intends to put plaster on every man 4
who mixed up in the row precipitated by 4
Seigle in Topeka last Thursday and which 4
caused Umpire Owens to forfeit the game 4
to the Saints. A fine on the right place, /

From the sedalia Democrat: THE To- /
peka Journal is in error If 1t thinks Sc i
dalia is sore over the trading of Big
John Schrant for Roy Bevis. Each is a /
ton. Sedalia already had the best catcher /
in the league in the person of Stoner, 1

There was little brotherly love shown 1

three home runs in one afternoon.

President Shively has been called upon
by the Topeka management to straighten
up the Saints. 1t is necessary to do some
thing. The crowds have been good right
along and they should be compensated
for their loyalty. Shively viii do his part.
There is no question about that. Earth

Kansas City Western league and Amer
lean association teams have been asked
to recommend any players which they
can spare. In reality the disclosure OF
the matter in this paragraph should not
be made. but the fans are asking what is
being done, and this Is the answer.
