Milwaukee to train for bout with

with every sporting editor in Chicago

wrought up to the highest pitch. But
if anyone can make anything out of his

recently suspended from the Joplin
baseball team for the remainder of the
season by President Baker for failure
with the Cherryvale team OF the kan
sas State league The team is now
putting up one Of the fastest grades Of
ball to be found in that league After
leaving Joplin Womble went to Bart
lesville, I. T., and was sick for q short
time. Baker has agreed to let him
play in the Kansas State league or the
South Central league without question,
but steadfastly refuses to allow him to
play in the Western association this
season
Hutchinson fans are still crazy over

lowing from the News indicates. Even
If Dickie Brown isn't much Of a hitter
he gets to first quite often. In Fridays
and Saturdays games, he was I'D only
twice-once in each game. In those
two days he got two sacrifice hits two
bases on balls and was once hit by a
pitched ball.
George Graves seems to have recov-
