tette has been taken on by Webb City.
He did not make much Of q showing
with Springfield but yesterday was sent
in to relieve Roach and did pretty
well.
Millions Tripletts seem. to have taken
q slump. Aftera losing to Springfield
Joplin. gave them drubbing and to
lose to Joplin is a mighty hard thing to-
do.
Kahl has not been using his batting
eye very much recently but In yester-
days game he got next to George for
three hits and his batting helped to
win the game. Some of the other. boys
were hitting, too. Landreth however;
hits. What's the matter with you.
"Cyrus?"
Emory Olson's home run was a.
mighty timely one yesterday and had
much to do with unnerving Mr.. George.
It went over the left field fence for
four bases. bringing Kahl in ahead Of
him.
George, the southpaw who opposed
the Cooleysox yesterday, had a trial
with the Boston Americans in the
shy Of the mark. Webb City found
him last season and after making him
the victim OF a few bombardments he
was released to Joplin. He started out
he was touched up for three runs and
the rest Of the game came easy.
The Oklahoma City team is said to
be scrappy organization and 1t Is re-
ported that while the team was in
Hutchinson several Of the players came
mighty near engaging in nstic battles.
1t is to be hoped that such Is not the
case for If it is the Nets had better
retire for the season.
Wonder if Robert Bandy of the Ok
lahoma City team, isn't just q little
bit nervous when he plays in Kansas 2
There Is state warrant out for his
arrest for getting into a scrap with
Umpire McTnnis at Hutchinson last
fall. While in Topeka last fall Mana
ger Mcfarland got wind of the affair
on the first train.
The Joplin management has releas-
ed Pitcher Evans. Evans had q pref
ty fair assortment. but he couldn't de-
liver the goods when he tried to throw
the ball over the base. With Newton
and Pollard, the pitching stan of the,
Miners should be strengthened.
There is probably some Joy in Miner
vile today. Joplin won yesterday for
the first time since May s. Joplin used
three pitchers, finally bringing in Moore
to save the game. Roach Of Webb CITY
had to be supplanted. What is beein.s
ming to be the matter with Millions
star twirler..
The game at webb City yesterday
had many features. Twenty men
were walked by five pitchers during
the game. Tom Reed again pulled an
a home run stunt OFF Pitcher Roach Of
the Webb City team.
Joplin Globe: What a pity it Z.
that Joplin has no man like Boles ~
Topeka. Arnold pitched HE
first full game for Topeka yesterdav,
The big fellow looks like a conner ana

son. The Topeka bunch loolr.
like the real pennant grabbers ana r.
is a cinch that the team which heats
out Cooley and his pets will win th~
