Bob Talbot of the Sedalia Shoplifters,
while 6. good pitcher, is a first class UNI
pire, He ought to put on the blue uni
form and do it as a business. Gus AL
berts may join the Shiveley staff this
summer yet. He said yesterday that
he might arrange 1t SO that he could
get away from his present place of
business until the season is over. Chic
became very sick while in Topeka and
wills be off duty for a, while.
Owens is all right in Wichita again.
This from the Beacon: Owens umpir-
ing was satisfactory. He made long
talk last night about the feathered kind
and says after the season is over he in
tends to start a chicken ranch. He re-
ceived two elegant fouls yesterday at
the hands of the Jobbers and a feathered
bird of the fair sex poked him in the
ribs while passing by the pitchers box.
Owens has, by this time, collected an
elegant assortment of fouls. He has
seventeen black and blue marks on his
body to show where they touched him.
The first half of the season is now
ended with the completion of 20 games.
and according to the best information
| obtainable, the trophy cup will go to
either Wichita or Oklahoma City. The
standings printed in the various news
papers have either been wrong or wide
" at variance, using the latter state
inent for the sake of charity. So Presi-
| f1GIlL GuiFSlGy mas Deem called upon TO
send out an official statement and de-
ternine the team which is. to receive
the trophy.
This dispatch from NeoEho, Mo-, has
to do with Speck Hurlburt: Neosno, Mo,

City's swarthy center gardener, dropped
| off the. Frisco Meteor as it numbered
| through this metropolis early yesterday
morning. leaving Manager Dud Risley.

hold. : When asked for an explanation,
| Hurlburt declared that the action of
the management in relinquishing Jimmy
Prick to Seattle and refusing to allow
| him to go to Arthur Twins K. c.
'fBlooz' enraged him, hence his sever
ance. He was given d berth on the local
| team. the strong Athletics, and will be
in. their lineup in struggle with Jim
| ME Rronson's Pok-a-Dots at Cox park
Sunday afternoon Hurlburt has been
i leading the Western association in hit
ting the last three weeks and previous
/ to that time was second on the biting
honor roll. It is due largely to the
1 swatting of F'riek and Hurlburt that
the Oklahoma City aggregation has re-
manned at its dizzy height and the Nets
/ are likely to suffer as a consequence.
| Hurlburt is to remain here and man
age the local team.
From the Joplin ws-Herald: The
local management is sorry now that
| they have traded Olson to Leavenworth.
'sI did not know explained President
Baker, when I gave Fiilrnan permits
sion to make the trade that FillInan
was going also. The trouble has beer
all along that Fillman and Olson did
not play together and it has been Fill
mans fault But could not afford to
keep Ole and let Johnny 60 And so !
let sOIe' go but / did not know at that
time that FIJI would go also"
