WHERE THEY PLAT
TOMORROW.

Topeka at Joplin.
Wichita at Enid.
Hutchinson at Oklahoma City
Webb City at Springfield.
The local aggregation left last night
for old Missouri and they will linger at
the foot of the Ozarks for nine days.
At Joplin the locals open this after
noon. postponed game will be played
tomorrow as one of the games of a
double header. At Webb City where
the team will perform before returning
to the local lot there is also a post
poned game to be played but it is not
known as yet what the arrangements
will be regarding this game. The home
talent left in good condition and with
the addition of Selby ought to awaken
the natives of southeastern Missouri to
some of the finer points of the great
national sport.
Pittsburg has traded Cy Young Of
the Wichita team of last season and
Pitcher Mccarthy to Boston for Pitcher
Irving Young. Hereafter the tall syc-
amore of Wichita will perform with the
Beaneaters. Boston is shy on pitching
talent and Cy will probably break into
the limelight soon.
A morsel of truth from the Daily Ok

Scott, who is spit ball pitcher, has
to have about three days rest before
he can. be effective. The Jobbers will
have to hurry some II they keep up
in the race. But don't discredit the
Wichita team. There are some of the
best hitters in the circuit on the Hol-
land squad and they will make trouble
any time.
The Enid team has added two south
paws. One Of them Simons, comes from
the Pacific coast league and has
great reputation. 1t is really beginning
to look as though the Enid bunch
would be heard from yet Here's hop

Wonder what the sporting editor of
the Oklahoma City team is thinking
