The Topeka team is in sixth
place today by a narrow margin of
the Denver team will put US up to
the top of the second division again.
We are going bad now, but what's
the use of crying. We viii be at
home next week for twenty-seven
games on the home lot. A long trip
away from home is always dis
astrous Only four more games on
the road and those with Wichita. At
the end of the long home series
watch out for a place we'll up in the
first division.
The Wichita team has certainly re-
covered from her slump and sur
prised the dopesters by getting back
to the top of the race again. One
or the other of the Kansas teams has
honor of the Sunfiower state. To-
peka will let Wichita do it now for
a little while, and then take the
place herself later in the season.
McCafferty got back at Ducky
yesterday by winning his first game

Des Moines has a new catcher by
the name of Ollie, who is said to be
capable receiver. A good catcher IS

got in 1905, the year he pitched In the
old Western Association.
Outfelder Cravath of the Washing
ton team has found his way to the
MINNEAPOLIS farm. The question now
is how long before he will be at Des
Moines.
The sioux City Tribune thinks that
if Pittsburg paid much for First Base
man Kane, it made great mistake,
for he doesn't near fill the shoes OF
Chickering Aubrey.
The Pueblo State-Journal says af
ter having seen both the Topeka and
Wichita teams in action: The Lincoln
Star predicts that the Wichita team,
referring to them as a clean bunch
of players, will make the Topeka team
look sick when they meet. They will
have to play lots of good ball to do
that, and it is doubtful if they are
any cleaner bunch of players than
are the Topekans.
The Nebraska State Journal now
asks the Greenbackers to win one
more game before the season ends.
Pa Rourks has DISPOSED of Swain.
