1T is easy enough to see why the
White Sox are losing remarked
Topeka fan last night as he stood be-
fore the bulletin board In the window
of the State Journal. 'sThey started
into the season with the best team in
the league without any doubt and since
then they have made some changes
which to say the least have not
ence is a ball player Cooley was able
to jump out at the beginning of the
season and pick out a bunch Of play
ers of more than ordinary ability. Most
of the managers were compelled to
use the try and fit process before they
could get the men they wanted Cooley S
bunch proved to be winners almost
! from the first and there did not appear
should be increased or any changes
made in the team. In the meantime
the manager of every other team in the
league has had his eyes open for new
timber with which to strengthen his
team and as result they have built
up teams while the White Sox are as
far as playing is concerned the same
bunch that opened the season"
After making eight hits off of Shaw
the Salt Packers new find from the
twirling world, the Cooleycrows failed
to cross the home plate for a single
score and the game wound up as far as
they were concerned with a row Of
beautiful round ones.
Downs, the White Sox's auburn top
ped second baseman still has his bat
ting eye with him, and touched the
sphere for three safe ones in the game
with the Salt Packers yesterday.
Kramer. the White sox's new ac-
QUESTION who played first in the game
with Hutchinson while Cooley played
right field, seems to have a timber eye
with him and three times during the
horsehide for safe ones.
The White Sox seem to have struck
a losing streak for sure, and judging
from the pace that, they have gone the
streak must have been creased some
time recently. Out Of the series of four
games which they have played with
Hutchinson, which 1t must be remem-
bered is the tail ender, they have lost
all but one That is the same record
that they made on their own grounds
just before they left for Hutchinson.
The loss Of the three games with Leav-
enWorth could be partially overlooked
but when they struck a bunch that
seemed SO much inferior as far as their
playing went and laid three games out
of four on the altar, it really looks like
something should be done. Friends and
pals on the ball team are all right as
far as the pleasure of the situation is
concerned but they will neither get the
crowds nor help settle the salary list.

that he IS tackling a lad who is natur-
