| Topeka had a chance to win yester-
days game in the first inning if lit
tie better coaching had been done on
! third base. Davis was on third and
Landreth on second with two out. Hen
ry sent high one out to Murray who
dropped it and Davis scored. Landreth
could have scored but was allowed to
stop at third and a score was lost If
Landreth had scored Topeka would
have been a run ahead in the ninth.
Uhren, who was left at home on the
present trip. The lad was said to be
a promising yOungster but Hacked ex-
perience "A year in some smaller league
would fit him in good shape. ELLIS has
not made good showing this year and
it is probable that he will feel the sharp
edge OF the ak before many days.
Leavenworth does not seem to be able
to get out of the rut. The trouble
seems to be with the pitching staff
which is woefully weak outside of Ash
ley, who has won the only game for
the team. They either lack the goods
OF else they haven't got to working
yet.
The Springfield team left on the fast
mail this morning for Wichita where
they will try, to stop the winning streak
of the Rabbits. If they have as good
luck as IN Topeka they will be able to
take a fall. However, they will not be
feeling very much like it this after

On the fast mail which robbed the play
ers of lots CT sleep right at the time of
night when it is most needed.
The following tells something of
Pitcher Banta who worked for the Nets
yesterday and is from the Oklahoma
City Times-Journal: Transportation
has been sent by President Heyman to
Pitcher Banta of the Little Rock team
of the Southern league. Banta is being
farmed out to the local team because
of a surplus of pitchers on the Arkan-
sas team. He will report tomorrow
and will likely be used in one of the
Webb City games.
Oklahoma City Post: The games that
have been played in this city this sea-
son appear to have been more Of an
experiment than anything else. The
somewhat uncertain. Three men are
proven however. They are Mcfarland,
Gibson and Benis. Woods made poor
showing yesterday, and Pizel and Geist
are yet to receive actual trials.
That Jay Andrews Is a popular man
ager is shown by the following from
the Joplin News-Herald: Jay Andrews,
manager of the Hutchinson Salt Pack
ers. is an optimist from the bottom of
the spikes in his heels to the button on
the top of his cap. Yesterday his team
won it's first victory. but from the
cheerful manner of Doc during the
preliminarys practice, and from the
jovial manner in which he encouraged
his players, one would have imagined
that Hutchinson was leading the league.
Andrews is popular with his men; in
fact, it is no exaggeration to say that
he is the most popular manager in the
circuit not only with his men, but also
with the fans, at home and abroad. If
Joplin has to lose game once in a
while everyone is glad to see Hutchin-
son the victor in such cases.
Dick Cooley is leading the Louisville
team with the willow, having percent
age of 1855.
Manage Joe Cantillon of the Wash
ington Nationals has decided to make j
change on his infield. Mig Perrine will
be shifted to second and Soldier Boy
Altizer will be brought in from the out
field to cover short. This will give Mig
a better chance to distinguish hi-a@eif
as he is a much better second basenan
than he is short stop
In a recent game at Milwaukee Cooley |
was benched for disputing decision OF
the umpire. However, it was but a
mild protest uttered by Cooley and the
Milwaukee papers say that the umpire
was in error in benching the most pop
ular manager in the American Associa-
ton.
Just to show how much a days play
