cessive defeat for Denver. II lost -FOUR
In Sioux City and two in Omaha. IL mas
mother game to play in Omaha on TINS
trip, and unless the team turns sauaroiy

Rlaoe. The fact lie the teams powerful
4 batting has been carrying It through, but
&eyen that element of strength has not
been sufficient to win against the snappy
ball Omaha and Sioux City have been
playing. Both teams are going at a ter
rifle rate in their desperate effort to land
the p%ennant. -a 20
