Jimmy Cuthbert is doing pretty well
with the Nets and is hitting the ball
hard and opportunely- Yesterday he
hit for home run and has been get
ting on an average of two or three
hits per day since leaving Webb City.
The Webb City team hasn't won a
game for a week, 1t is to be hoped that
Milton will be able. to. break the. ice
soon The Triplets are not going at the
clip they started earlier in the season.
Too many players have been-canned
during the season.
Pitcher Selby has to suffer a reduc-
ton in the won column Of his pitching
record. SeIby pitched the game against
Springfield on July when Springfield
protested the game. Selby pitched a
great game and won handily and it is
q pretty tough piece Of luck to have the
game thrown out on this account.
According to the reports which eman-
ate from Springfield, Louis Woods, the
pitcher of that team is about to receive
a blue envelope. A couple of years ago
Woods was a good pitcher and helped
to keep Oklahoma City in the race pre-
ty much all season. But he sprained his
shoulder and his arm went back on him
and he had to drop out for year. His
arm hasn't come back yet. -
ttdlld is StlllIS away III lSdl Siid pc
over at Louisville. He started the
game Thursday against the Milwaukee,
team and at the end of the sixth in
ming retired in order to give young
ster a chance. At the time of his re-
tirement the score was 10 to in favor
of Louisville.
Tomorrow's important game with
Wichita by wire out at the ball park
starting at p. m. Admission 10 cents.
The race is getting closer again.
Joplin and Wichita are coming fast and
Oklahoma City and Topeka are not in
the lead any too far at the present time.
These four teams are fighting it out
among themselves at the present time.

then can 'Shively." is the way the
sporting editor of the Hutchinson
News expresses 1t. What town is
there in the Western association that
likes Shuster.e
Tom Hayden is trying to buy
Pitcher CLANCY from the Bartlesville
team, and is offering Gus Alberts $3.50
for him. Comiskey once paid Alberts
a cold thousand for him.
Peg Bemis and Secretary Volz of
the Nets had "a little alteration the
other night when the Nets left Okla
homa City. The players were draw
| ing for berths and Peg drew a lower
one. Volz wanted the one Peg drew
| for himself and demanded that Peg
return the number in the hat and
draw again. The train was about to
! pull out but Bemis -enraged, grabbed
| his suit case. and left the team. He
| was sent for next day and got to ride
| in lower.
