form the rest of the season. The local
fans will await with interest the popu-

The Leavenworth Times introduces
another new umpire: Umpire Malay is
and he is a good man. He should be
/ given a job on the Shively staff next
year if he continues the good work he
has commenced. He got away badly
! in the first games in this city, but ne

feet satisfaction in the future.

Amos Morgan, last year with lola in
the Missouri Valley league, is now play
ing on Tebeau's first team" Perhaps
that last phrase needs a little explana-
ton. Tebeau owns the Kansas City
and Louisville franchises in the Amer
lean association. The Colonies are
pretty good, or at least were up to the
time of their unfortunate accident at
Kansas City. The Kansas City team is
very bad and have been for two years.
So the newspapers. have been calling
the Louisville gang the first team"
and the Kansas City: contingent the
second team Morgan is now with
the Colonies.
From the Kansas City Times: The
game sch eduled at Association park for
yesterday afternoon between the Guth-
| RE and Oklahoma City clubs of the
Western association was prevented by
| wet grounds. The rain of Tuesday
night and yesterday morning made the
bail grounds so soft that it was impos-
sible to pull off a game. The failure
| of the game to take place was the
Isource of considerable disappointment
| to a great many fans. Several car
loads of the hungry" fans went out
to the park in spite of the unfavorable
aspect of the weather. but they were
disappointed. The game was called off
at noon and neither team left the
hotel. The Oklahoma City club went
to lola lest night and will play there
today and tomorrow. The Guthrie
club left for home last night. If
weather conditions do not continue I'M
favorabl Kansas City fans will yet
have an opportunity to see some West
ern association baseball. as President
Shively has arranged to have the Sc
dalia and Leavenworth clubs play here
Friday afternoon. These two clubs are
| first division teams and Leavenworth is
considered to have a long change. at
the Western association pennant.- The
clubs have both been playing splendid
ball this year and have been fighting a
greater part of the time in the first
tdiyision. There are several we'll known
Kansas City boys on the two teams and
a few promising youngsters as we'll as

familiar. There are four Kansas CITY
