| Lyons at Great Bend.
| Arkansas City at Larned.
| Hutchinson at Wellington.
CENTRAL KANSAS LEAGUE.
No games scheduled
Burgenbauch of the Junction City
team has been sold to Manhattan. He
is Kansas City youth.
Old Hoss Abbott has come back to
| Life with the Salina team again. Abb
bolt is pretty good old ball player
at that.
u, Lee Gramley has handed a release to
Hamlin. the young shortstop of the
| team Carhill of Burr Oak, is his sue
cessor Hamlin didn't hit enough.
Abilene is certainly having a bunch
OF hard luck just after the team got a
| good starr. Thompson and Choteau
have sore arms. Mallon is laid up with
an liberation in his jaw, and Williams
|
although the others are trying hard.
Owner Gunthorpe of the Denver team
is scouting through the Kansas State
league for available material He is said
to have signed Bert Haas of the Hutch
inson club to catch. He is also on the
trail of Routt Of the Mcpherson club.
Stanley of Hutchinson and McGrath
OF Larned are two Kansas State league
pitchers who are likely to advance this
fall. Both are good men and several
of the scouts have their eyes on them. |
Gibbs, Beloit's fast second sacker, is |
out of the game with a dislocated
shoulder. This is helping Beloit to not |
get out of seventh place.
Tom Campbell is still hitting the ball
some for the Junktown team. His lat |
Galeno, Writer'S. Vann. Masters, Hunt, |
Gill and Mckenzie follow in the order
named.
1t is now reported that Minneapolis |
won't get Coe. Gafford offered the Ma
room management $50 for his services
for the remainder of the season, but |
Manhattan wouldn't let him go. Coe is
at outs with the management and for
that reason has been RELOCATED to the
bench. He is a rattlnig good catcher
nevertheless.
Abilene Reflector: Lee Gramley, the
Clay Center manager. is playing short
stop for his club despite the fact that
he has not yet recovered from an at
tack of malaria. He certainly is game
clear through. although he is as weak
as a kitten. Yesterday he got clean
hit to right field but in running it out
attempted to crawl to first but was
thrown out. An uphill fighter like that
deserves better luck than he has been
having.
Manhattan Mercury: The Manhattan
fans saw Joe Bonds face on the left
corner Of the diamond for the last
time this season yesterday as he left
Texas. There are few who do not re-
greet to see the gingery little third
sacker leave. for besides being the best
third baseman in the league, he was
the life of the team and made many
friends here. Joe said when he left
that he hoped to be able to return here
next year, and-well. everyone else
hopes so too
Manhattan is trying to get out of the
rut, and if a liberal application of the
destined to fare better in baseball
way ere long.
Junction City Union: Long Tom"
Campbell was a busy man this morning.
At a number of the stores prizes have
been offered for home runs and hits
during a game and of these Campbell
got his share. He has several new hats
coming a number of dollars worth of
merchandise and when it is all collected
he was we'll fitted out. Several of the
other players Jared we'll during the past
two weeks and if the batting of the
team can continue for short time the :
boys will all receive prizes.
Baird, the youngster who was once
with Cooley. has rejoined the Salina
team after two weeks absence be-
cause of sickness and is now ready for
a regular turn in the box.
Manhattan Republic: Anyway, the
Manhattan Maroons hold one worlds
have the worst record of
any team known in the history of or
Der of games played. Away back in
1856 or Whereabouts the Boston Bean
sappers finished the season with a per
Centage of .297 and it was thought that
this would stand for all time. Manhat-
tan, however, is going to make that
record look as big as a million before
the season is over. They now have a
won two games since the Fourth of
July. If this record is continued until
the end of the season, and the evidence
all points towards its perpetual contin-
uance, Manhattan will finish with a
percentage so low that it will take a
mathematical expert to discover it. If
we can't get glory in one way, we will
take it in another-you can't keep a
good town down.
