pears that the Hutchinson officials
thought they had cinch and advertised
their programme before it was ready
to be pulled off. Bandy, as result got
word of what was about to transpire
and in a few very few moments was
on his way to Oklahoma City. This ac-
counts for the absence of his smiling
face on the sidelines yesterday.

johnson, who played left field during
the early part of the game yesterday,
is a local amateur and his chief bid for
distinction in the baseball world is the
work he has done with the Midgets dur

Clarence Cole, the Springfield out

return, to Topeka as soon as the sea-
son is closed.
Peg Bemis the Oklahoma City
pitcher who is working against the
locals this afternoon Is probably the
handsomest player in the league. At
least that is the verdict of most of the
ball players in the league.
Cy Young is still holding off with
the Pittsburg management. Cy had
better come through with the goods
or the R1LISDurB management Will
turn loose on him. Cy isn't enough
of a pitcher yet to dictate to a big
league manager, such as Barney Drey-

the dear departed fans. Truly 1t was
most wonderful and almost past the
belief of prosaic mortals, but it ac-i

follower of the golden rule.
vet even worse than that was done
for not only one game. but two were
taken right out of the grasping hands
of the bunch from Webb. Really and
truly that aggregation from the land
of gravel piles and ore mills acted as

nrate the homecoming of the Orioles.
All of the old players are still living
md with but one or two exceptions
ire still following the game. Hoffer
will pitch in the game and is. conf

n his prime Hoffer was easily the
greatest pitcher in the country. Three

lant by his superb pitching. Until he
vas secured by Oklahoma City he
vas pitching for Little Rock in the
southern league.
