Where thety play Thursday:
Sedalia at Fort Scott.
LeaVenworth at Topeka.

Leavenworth had a 800 fire in the
grand stand at it's ball park on Mon
day morning. An adjoining building
was damaged to the extent of a thous-
and dollars.
From the LeaVenworth Times on
the ball game here Sunday: Topeka
| is sore on Alberts because they be-
lieve he should give them the best OF
I a decision. But he doesn't. ...--A
I pretty good crowd, about the same as
Leavenworth' develops for ordinary
Sunday games, turned out to see the
| new park opened 1t was the best
crowd Topeka has had this year. The
new park is much better than the old
| Wash burn field, but the right field is
extremely bad. .-..... The Topeka scor-
| er managed to give his team three ex-
ira hits ON Lyons errors at third. This
may help the Topeka batting averages,
but sim reality they were not hits
| Now 5Shiveley has trouble with his
new umpire, Mr. Cusack, the posom
| friend of Mr., Clarence Owens. Cusack
| is as big as his friend Brick. But
he does ont want to stay in the brush.
| The tall weeds of the Three-l league
are attracting his optics. On last sat
| urday he wished to shake the valley
| dust from his brogans, but DOC ShlVe-
lev persuaded him to hang up his hat
and stay while longer.

| lola after an absence of week OF
| visiting.
Crum, Joplin's right fielder. batted
| 400 all last week.
The joplin News Herald went out
back in the alley, filled its blunder-
buss, closed its eyes and pulled the
trigger. The result;
because the Joplin team plays
snappy ball on the coaching lines as
we'll as in the field, some of the scrlDes
style the Miners as rowd1es- me
truth is that the Midgets are the dlrt,
lest players in the circuit and the Colo
Bugs a close second. Their present
Standing in the race, however, shows
that dirty ball playing does not al
ways win
~Dud" Risley and Jack Root of the
lola team played the part OF nero
Jointly one day last week at Spring
ers and Umpire Owens, were bathing
in Doing lake when Owens was seized
with cramps. His cries for help
brought Risley and Root, both good
tie difficulty his Jumps" was placed
on dry land. They ought to get in
on the Carnegie medals
Mike welday is back in the Joplin
lineup and Sisters name has disap-
peared from the baseball columns.
Jenries, with Leavenworth. is
cousin Of Jim Jeffries, the famous
Dugilist. The Oriole looks like a pock-
ct edition of his fighting relative.
Leayenworth has purchase a pitcher
named Pardee from Dale Gear. He
has been in st. Louis all season If |
he is as good as the Pardee of the big
league, he will certainly do.
Fort Scott now has a 800 batter. |
1t is Toney Horath. He balanced the |
beam the other day and is keeping
up the pace.
Harry Kane will not join the Midg- |
cts at Springfield, as he claims he is
getting more money from Clarksdale |
than Hurlburt can afford to pay. |
Clarksdale is somewhere down in the |
wilds of Mississippi, where the peo- |
pie are baseball mad.
Here you are from the Joplin News
Herald: Joplin is carrying less num-
Der of men than any team in the |
league and has the lowest salary list"
How about that $1,7O0 salary with |
which the miners are charged?
A spicy comment from a Joplin pa
per on bud Risley, whom the Topeka
association is considering as man.
ager: "Dud Risley is said to be draw
ing $50 mSnth from Tholen at |
lola. He may be worth ito Tholen."
