From a well known thirty-third de-
gree ran who wished to be quoted:
Il don't suppose that 1 know much
about baseball and everyone tells me
that I don't and 1 may not know
what I am talking about, but have
a very vivid impression that the first
eight men In Cooley's batting order
are able at any time to break up a
game"
Bolin. who pitched the opening
part OF the game for Wichita yester-
day, is an old Southern Lacquer and
was at one time eligible for the big
leagues although he never landed any
higher than class A league.
The Wichita team is carving
enough pitchers at the present time
as six men are with the team draw
ing pay on the allegations that they
are twirlers. Scott, Speer, Bolin,
Clark. Dick and Ward Isbell compose
the sextette.
One player on the Wichita team
who Is always popular with the fans
in this city is Arthur Queisser who
Is playing the sub catching role for
the Wichita team. Art is always full
of fun and is making jests which
keep the grandstands in good humor.
He has not appeared in a game here
yet but has cut up a little bit on the
coaching lines
was at one time considered about the
best in the Western association, has a
lucrative position at his home in
Indianapolis and is playing Saturday
and Sunday ball on the side.
lines and in uniform yesterday for
the hrst time since the season opened.
1 have hopes some day of being able
to play" says the Wichita magnate,
and it won't hurt me to be in con-
dition ready to get in the game if that
time ever comes"
Jack. Holland is of the opinion
that Scott, the pitcher who worked in
the rear end of yesterdays game, is
one of the coming pitchers of the
country: He won twenty out of the
for the Oskaloosa team last season.
He only batted .102, although those
who saw him at the bat yesterday
would imagine he was a hitter.
The Nets are a little closer to the
leaders today as they defeated Joplin
yesterday while the locals were being
trimmed by Wichita.
Peg Bemis hasn't lost a game for
Oklahoma City yet but his time IL
doubtless coming. He will have to
work against Topeka next week And
any pitcher that wins from Topeka has
to pitch ball to do it.
Oklahoma City Times: Jack For

wild again. He is not proving effective
III eAiC PAiiOHOS. Dul SNSH When Z OrI6S-
ter was at his best he was not able to
do anything with the Nets" Jack gets
chance at the Nets next week.
Joplin Globe: White, the Triplet out
fielder, looks better every game. The
tow-headed lad is a mighty man in the
shortf1eld. He covers worlds Of terri
tory and whips the ball to first with
the speed Of a rife bullet. White is
also a tidy man to receive the throws
to the second bag. He pulls them out
Of the air or scoops them Off the earth
with equal ease.
The Webb City team is to have a
benefit. The Patterson Carnival COM
pany which shows in that town in a
few days will give a percent of their
proceeds to the team.
Sinister was Off yesterday. badly off
on many OF his decisions, but both
teams had to suffer- At that he runs
the game and Pennell was compelled to
pay his fine yesterday before he was
allowed to play in the game.
President Shively has issued an order
to his Indicator handlers asking them
to use every possible means Of hurry
ing up the game. Among other things
Shively tells his umpires thus: mo
nine-inning game should take more
than one hour and forty-6ve minutes.
| This time is sufficient and If the UNI
pires perform their duty and hurry up
the batters the game can be played In
that time 1t is needless to tire out
