fifth, when asked for an expression re-
garding Brush's statement that the
Giants are satisfied with the honors
they have won, said:
'Brush's statement is not a surprise
to US. He always was a thing
man, and his remarks show that he is
hiding behind bush. McGraw was
in the American league, and he knows
what he's up against when he tackles
an American league team. The pub
lie that has been supporting Brush's
aggregation SO we'll will share with US
in the disappointment his statement
occasions.
"Of course, we have not yet won the
pennant, but / am confident that we
will win it, If we do win it we shall
stand ready to play the Giants or any
other National league team. If have
not the best baseball team in the world
1 want to know it.
"McGraw knows well that almost
any team in the American league can
beat the Giants, so it is no wonder to
me that he is fighting shy of a series
with the Yankees"

Emporia, Kan, Sept. 2S.-The Kansas
City Blues defeated the Emporia Ma
rooms in a smuggling match here by a
score of to 0. Besides numerous ex-
ira base hits the visitors pounded out
two home runs. Warren Cook, an EN-
poria boy, pitched for Kansas City and
played a phenomenal game, giving few
passes and striking out many. Shaner
pitched for Emporia, but lacked support.
The MaroonS were out of practice and
made many errors.
Billy Nance is gathering in some new
material for next years campaign, as
well as winning a few games on mis-
transforming expedition. Both Cook
and Shaner were signed up to play

MORE HARD LUCK FOR YALE.
Morgan Bowman, Severely Injured,
Out of the Game for the Year.


New Haven, Conn, Sept. 2S.-Mor-
gan Bowman, Yale's back, who was in
jured during football practice is not ex-
pected to be able to play again this
fall.
The injury to his left shoulder was
not merely a dislocation, but the
shoulder bone was cracked. An X-ray
photograph has shown the condition
of the shoulder to be most serious.
A displaced ligament prevented a clear
picture of the bone, but the general
appearance gives small reason to
doubt that the bone was injured.
While at Hill school Bowman split
the bone of his right shoulder, and
has to wear an aluminium plate to
protect it. The same guard would
have to be worn on the left shoulder,
and it is scarcely to be supposed that
he could play a creditable game thus
handicapped. Bowman's enforced
withdrawal from the team leaves an
other place to fill. He was the man
to whom the coaches looked for punt
ing, and new man will now have to
be developed. Hoyt and Roome are
the best punters on the squad.
