Q1A5 g@Il|y
Where They Play Tomorrow.
Great Bend at Newton.
Hutchinson at Arkansas City.
Wellington at Lyons
Strong City at Mcpherson.
Mcpherson is certainly a paying
proposition in the baseball business.
The share of the home team Decora-
ton day was $3.50. Arkansas City
was the opposing team and took
more money out of the town than
Mcpherson did in the four days in
Arkansas City.
Clay Center has a pitcher named
Brooks. whom the Clay Center play
ers say is unhittib1e.
Abilene has a new tryout Heck
land, who comes from Missouri He
is a utility infielder. Ellis, of Gillis-
burg, ILL.,, is another new one, an out
fielder. ~
Rex WEIGH, the young Clay Center
boy who tried out with the Junction
City team, has been released. The
young boy is some pitcher but also
somewhat shy of the class that Lou
Armstrong wants.
The Clay Center Republican seems
quite proud of the harmony which is
evident in the team which Gramley
has collected together. If Pap can
keep this up all season, he will have
made a record as manager of which
anyone could well be proud
Beloit's team is making a good
record in the practice games. 1t is
almost certain that Bill Mahin of
will SIT In
field.
Manhattan's new pitcher. Stack. is
doing some pretty good work for the
aggregation which Manager West has
collected.
J. Mattson, a southpaw, who has
been tried on various teams of the
Western association, has been signed
by Abilene. He reported for a try
out yesterday.
Bechtold, who was found wanting
in the Kansas State league, has
shown enough improvement in form
team.
Now Bill link will have to cut
down the trees in the Hutchinson
robbed of hit by the bali striking a
tree. Bill has more hard luck with
his home runs than any man in the
country.
White is pleasing the Hutchinson
fans with his work in the shortstop
position. White was considered one
Of the best outfielders in the league
until he was shifted to the inner
works.
Travelling men who have seen the
different state league teams play, say
that Mcpherson has one of the best
looking teams in the circuit
Junction City is congrafulating
herself on the work of Hastings, the
new shortstop. Hastings only weak
ness is with the willow, and Arm
strong is smart enough to know that
II he can keep a good fielding short
stop, he doesn't have to be a slugger
Emporia is getting along fairly
well with her new city baseball
league. Emporia will some day be a
State. and any time the others show
a tendency towards loosening up in
attendance, Emporia will make a
good substitute.
Old Lew Woods is pitching great
hall for Ellsworth. The former Okla
honan has not been scored on in
game yet this season.
Gafford has finally given the fans
over the circuit the solution of the,
ssMid-Kaw Mystery" He has issued&
the following bulletin regarding the
