I'VE remaining games on her schedule.

Wichita comedies the pennant to To-
peka as IS shown by the following from
the Eagle: Topeka, by winning yester-
days game, destroyed the last possible
chance Of Wichita holding the pennant
another year AS it now stands, If
Wichita should win every game and
Topeka should lose the remaining con
tests Topeka would still be one in the
lead Wichita's chance for second place
is decidedly brighter. IF 1t should win
today's game and the remaining games
OF the season, and Joplin should drop
two, Wichita would come in for second
place. The chances are pretty even,
for both teams are to play Topeka and
Oklahoma City These are foremost
teams and the battles viii be hard ones.
Joplin has bare chance for first place.
Its present standing is ,554 and Topeka
is .59l. Should Joplin take all of the
coming games ana Topeka lose five of
the seven, Joplin's per cent would be
.5I6 and Topeka's SIS. It would be an
unheard of record to finish on top with
one point difference.
