with 1895. Rapps is third with 1857, and
Speer, the little curly headed pitcher is
hitting the ball at a gait of 1888. Arm
strong is doing no better than .z05. St
John is also low, having an average of
only .233. But then the fast shoFtstOp
has been sick and is not in form.
Boozing in the Leavenworth team is
a past matter. 1t has been cut out.
Double effort has been exercised to
keep the men clear of the dram-shops.
Some of the heavy drinkers we're weed
ed out entirely, and some of those who re-
NAMED received tacit instructions that
no more of it would be tolerated. 1t is
a pleasant thing to realize that the
Western Association now is without
a booking" gang. It is worth some
thing to be able to say this.
Guthrie's team is still quarreling
away internally. Berry and Downs
were the factors in this row when the
Senator's played Sedalia the other day:
In the fourth inning there came near
being something bidding that would
have added interest to the game. After
Cheek had walked RoIlings hunted and
was safe on first, there being no one
there to receive the throw from the
pitcher, who had fielded the ball. Berry
ran up with the pitch, as is the usual
custom, expecting Red" Downs to
cover first. Downs failed to cover the
bag and there was a war of words and
=
came together with clinched fists, and
the prompt interference of other play
ers was all that stopped a fight. Berry
seemed to be the cause Of the argu-
ment by some remark he made to
Downs after the play had failed and
the fans h0Wled long and loud to have
the Senator's big first sacker benched
by the captain of the team. Such work
as that displayed by the Guthrie play
ers yesterday is disgusting and viii kill
any good bail teams chances and
should not be tolerated at all It show
ed the fans the feeling that exists be-
tween the players of the Guthrie ball
team, and as long as there is hard feel
ings existing between the players of
the team it will be impossible to get the
desired results.
The White Sox did not play today, it
being an off day in the schedule. On
Tuesday they begin a series of three
games with the Miners at Joplin, and
then go to Springfield for a trio. Next
Monday is also open. Guthrie will come
here on Tuesday to be followed by ok
lahoma City.
