man who learned his first knowledge
Of the game in Leavenworth, has I'm
ally been relegated to the minors. Last
week he was sold by st. Louis, where
he has been for several years, to the
Kansas City team, and is now guard
ing the initial station for the Blue
Legs.
Who would have thought It?
Bunton and Wright both driven to the
woods and Halla taking the same
medicine because there was no one to
keep him from 1t.
Oklahoma City News: The pitch
ing staff looks like Mcfarland and
Bandy would have to do the bulk of
the work. Bemis doesn't seem to
weather. A
The games at the Novelty theatre
between Hutchinson and Topeka
have given a good account of all the
plays in those games. The game to-
morrow will commence at 800 p. m,
and you will have to get there before
that time if you want to get a seat.
The Leavenworth and Wichita
games will also be reported by inn
ings.
According to the following from the
Daily Oklahoman Topeka is figuring
on a new outfielder:
Manager Crow offered to trade Out
fielder Jack Lawlcr for Ar1o Scoggin,
who is playing in the left garden for
the Nets. 1t is likely that the trade
will be contaminated. The same Of
fer was made by Topeka for Lotion,
but it was received the day after Loft
ton was sold to Webb City.
1t is not improbable that Ed Page,
who was released from the Oklahoma
City team a few days ago, will be re-
signed. The Nets are up against it on
the pitching proposition and think
that Page would make good with a
little more experience and another
trial.
Pettigrew sprained his ankle at
the game yesterday while chasing a
long fly. 1t is the same old trouble
which started when the Salt Packers
and Pettigrew in annexing second
stopped too quick and. sprained the
ankle. Wood took Pettigrew's place
near the end OF the game after all
doubt of the result had received a quiz
etus.
Dalrymple, about whom so much
has been said of late. may join the
White Sox after all. Dalrymple was
traded to Decatur of the Three Eye
league, has had trouble about salary
and is to get his release. Dial wants 4
to play here and Crow is now very
ANXIOUS TO get him. he VIII be order
ed to report today and will probably
join the team at Leavenworth next
Monday. This will give Topeka a play
er who can hit the ball occasionally
when men are on bases. He will be
placed in left field in the place of Law
Ter who has got away in poor shape
during the last couple Of weeks.
Talk about the need of pinch hitters.
In the first three innings of yester-
days game Topeka was retired with
the bases full. One good pinch hitter
might have changed the result of the
game.
The next home series will open up
next Thursday, the Fourth of July
with the Leavenworth team as oppon-
ents. There will be two games played
on that date, one being played in the
morning and another in the afternoon.
The morning game will be called at
10 a. M, while the afternoon game
will be called at $3.50 p. m.
