Where they play tomorrow.
Webb City at Topeka.
Leavenworth at Wichita
Springfield at Joplin
Hutchinson at Oklahoma City.
Emery Olson, the young infielder
who Joined Topeka yesterday, Is re-
puted to be the most promising young
player IN the league at the present
time. During his short stay at Okla
homa City he won a home and was
considered one Of the most reiiaoie
players in the team. Risley, too, hated
to give him up, but he was needed IN
Topeka, SO Iud had TO bow to the in
evitable and "Ole" is now with Inc
locals lie is only nineteen and has a
very promising future before him. He

Dickey. who played second base for
Webb City yesterday is a young player
and got away in good shape IN ms m
| itiaI game against the White Sox- He
comes from Sparta, Ill, and played on
| the independent team at that place
with Holmes of Leavenworth and
Carr of Webb City. The latter two
also claim Sparta as their home
Daily oklahoman: White would
tprove q valuable addition to any team
lin the association. He IS, without
doubt. the best snortstop in the assoc
citation. and II runners are correct may
be found wearing an Oklahoma City
uniform next year.
Daily Oklahoman: Al Seabaugh of
the Springfield team, has received g.
/ letter from President Murphy OF the
Chicago Nationals. notifying him that
his release has been purchased and he
viii be expected to report at the close
of the season. Seabaugh is anxious

cago team next month.
Leavenworth Times: The forfeiture
Eof a game to Topeka by Hutchinson
last week has made President Shively
bit red under the neckhand, and
with good cause. The only two games
forfeited in the league this year have
gone to Topeka. and probably for no
other reason than that the Topeka
| bunch can chew more yards of rag
within a given time than any organi-
zation in American baseball Cooley
seems to have his bluff in on umplres
and Shively has long realized it. The
wonder is that he has stood for this
I kind of work 50 long OF course, IN
Topeka they regard Cooleys attitude
as legitimate. or at least pardonabIe
aegressiveness, but it must be remem-.
bered that league is constituted Of
eight cities and OF these none is en-
! titled to less consideration than that
which has the lead and every advan-'
tage.

! Howard Price. the outfelder who
was injured in the former series IN To-
peka by colliding with baltimore. is
| still unable to play. At Oklahoma City
could not finish his turn because Of the
/ INJURIES in his side. baltimore still
feels the effects of the accident some
what but continues to play.
Abe Lazotte. the heavy hitting out
fielder Of last years team, is now play
ing ball on the Mansfield team Of the
Ohio-Pennsylvania league He IS

/ two Of the I'VE hits secured by his
team.
baltimore, who is working for Webb.
| City this afternoon, Is a southpaw who
halls from the Muskogee team of the
South Central league. He is ordinar-
! lily a good pitcher. but has been over
worked lately owing to the shortage Of
] outhelders on the team. He has played
/ in the field and nearly every other
position on the team so that he is out

NJ. Sullivan, an umpire from the
/ American association, has been a spec
I tator at the two last games IN Topeka.
He is looking for players who are Of
sufficient caliber to hold down Jobs in

The following from the Leavenw orth
Times furnishes a good piece OF dope
on the final status Of the Moulders IN
I the pennan1 race: The Leavenworth
team opens q series OF three games
with Wichita at that city today and
goes from there to Oklahoma City for
4 the Labor day double header and one
/ other game. On Thursday, September
4 s, the team returns and win then be IN
/ Leavenworth for fifteen straight
fgames. the longest unbroken run Of the
season. The result OF the coming six
games with wichita sTSd Oklahoma
4 City viii be a reasonably good indica-
ton Of the final status Of the Moulders-
If the team can break even or do bet
] ter than that on the trip south, II
stands an excellent chance to land IN
4 the first division before the end Of the
season. The fifteen games at home,
Il the signing Of q shcrtstop ana catcher
ard the fact that the windup will be
| with the trailers all tend to the belief
that the team will finish strong. It has
been playing better ball right along
