Joplin Globe: What looked like the
star play of the day was Olson's
extended, glOved left hand, near first
base in the second inning. It seemed
it be out Of his territory. but every
body was too surprised and ticl1led to
knock. Incidentally, nearly every fly
catch of the day may well be consider
ed a stellar stunt. The high wind made
everything uncertain that wasn't tied
down.

we said that they would haunt US.
From the Leavenworth Times: It must
occur to the Topeka State Journal with
some oualns that it predicted seventh
place for Leavenworth and first division
honors for its home team and that
while it suffered decisive defeat at the
hands of the team it picked for second
place, Leavenworth broke even with
and outpoiEted the team it had selected
to win the pennant besides having al
ready shown an equality with the team
by the Topeka wiseacre selected for
third place. There is something about
the man who picks the pennant candi-
dates and tries to line them up which
always brands him as a chump in the
eyes of even his biased home fans

The anvil chorus is working. From
the Springfield Republican: For gen

titled to a chrome. In yesterday
game at League park they gave an
exhibition of dumb playing that would
put amateurs to shame. It seems that
when they got on bases they waited
for the Gold Bugs to tag them out
Even the captain, who was on second
base. walked into the diamond and was
called out by the umpire. A few les
sons in base running are badly needed,
if they want to be in the game.
