sa. WHERE THEY PLAY
02 TOMORROW.
Topeka at Hutchinson.
Enid at Joplin.
Oklahoma City at Springfield.
Webb City at Wichita.
Some more hard luck and the last
of the four gone to the Nets. An
other costly error did the business.
But what's the use Of crying. The
boys go to Hutchinson today and the
Cooley star will again be the brightest
in the Western association armament
Here's hoping for good luck.
Red Craig is no longer member OF
the Cooleysox, having received the tin
ware yesterday. Hollingsworth has
been signed to take his place, having
been secured by purchase from Enid.
"Holly" wouldn't play with Enid SO
Oklahoma City got him in some man
ner. But he belongs to Topeka just
the same and Cooley has the proof in
black and white. "Holly" did good
work with the Leavenworth Conv1cts
last season Notwithstanding the fact
that he was with a losing team.
Dr. Walter Pollard has won four out
of five games for the Joplin team.
Wouldn't the doctor look cute in a
Topeka uniform right now?
The locals go up against the Hutch
inson team today. Hutchinson since
spending a few days in Topeka last
week has crept from fifth place to
third and are now q few points ahead
of the Jobbers. Pretty good fight for
Jason after losing the first four to
Wichita.
Mccormick certainly had a busy day
in left yesterday, securing seven put
outs. These putouts ali came at a
critical time. too.
Hagerman had Goes on his staff
yesterday. The big outfielder famed
three times and on the other occasion
popped up a little fly to Kahl.
The attendance figures at the Okla
homa City games in the press reports
are evidently very misleading. Yes
terday's game was said to be attended
by 5000 people according to the OFF,
ciaI score keeper. The operator who
sends the STUFF to the Olympic says
there were about 2.0e0 there includ-
ing the ladies. as it was ladies'. day.
Western asso citation the attendance In
variably was estimated at from 5000
to 5000. when the teams had to take
the guarantee.
The games with Hutchinson, as well
as those with Wichita, are all called at
3:3o o. m. and will accordingly start
at that hour each day at the Olympic.

Nickel. who once decorated the out
gardens of the Leavenworth team anu
was doped to be somewhat OF hltter
is in the limelights again after an an-
Sence of a couple of seasons. He IS
doine meadow work for the Tulsa
team in the o. A. K. league.
Georee Tebeau is reported to have
made Springfield several tempting OF
fers for Dick Kaufman Kaufman me 1 oe he
Games for the Midgets. George would
ike to use him on one of his syndicate
teams and Dick would deliver the
Goods. But Risley needs him too bad
ana he will have to waste MS sweet
ness on the desert air of the w. A.
until September 22.
Doc Shively says that his suspen-
sion of Hurlburt for ten days and the
enc IF $50 which he added for good
measure. is but a starter to what ne
vii do in order to stamp out the
rowdvism which secured such a good
foothoId in the Western association
lost season. And Doc is to be COM
Tended. Any player who Is rowdy
ought to be put out Of the game un-
III he can learn to demean himseiI
IN a decent manner. This applies TO
Toneka pIayers as well as members
of the seven other teams.
The Joplin Globe is going wild
over the work of Pulliam, the new
o,,ttieIder PuIliam tried out with
Enid this season but was not con
sidered fast enough. He comes from
| the Fort Worth team OF the I1as
league and worked for waiter boIes
las season. He Is said to be pretty
| sneedy sort of man.
