Where They Play Tomorrow.
Topeka at Omaha.
Wichita at Des MoineS.
Denver at Lincoln.
Pueblo at Sioux City.
A message from the team in Desl
Moines to the State Journal gives the
of the death of Left Field
er Arthur Fenlon'S mother, which will
necessitate the absence of the Topeka
heavy hitting outfielder for a few days.
Fenlon'S mother lived in a little town
in eastern Nebraska. Fenlon will re-
join the team in Omaha.
Cooley is trying to strengthen the
pitching staff. You may look for ono
or two new ones any day now" is she
way he writes the State Journal.
Judging from the sale of Swain by
Holland to Rourke, it is evident that
Holland considers he is we'll fortified
with pitchers, while Omaha needs a
good man or two. Holland will need
all he has when the pitchers on the
other clubs get working.
Teddy Mattick who tried out with
the Pueblo team and was found wait
ing has received an offer from the
state league and will report as soon
as he gets his transportation,
Manager George Hogriever has
wired to Harry Hatch, a Pueblo
pitcher of 1907, to report to the team
depended on for some good work for
he was considered a star in 1907.
Hogriever had previously tried to
trade Hatch for Bonno of the Lin
coin club, but Green didn't look on
it with favor.
When Hatch reports to the Indians,
one of the other pitchers will be
looking elsewhere for a job. 1t lies
between Martins and Coates, but will
likely be Coates for the Indian man
agement has considerable money tied
up in Martins.
Des Moines Register and Leader:
And young DR.. Jason Andrews was
stationed at third base. Say, but 1t
seems natural to see Doc Andrews
out there said one gray haired fan
in the grandstand. ''Why, I can re-
member seeing him play before the
war" But the sprightly old hunk of
yesterday, getting the first single of
the game from Miller and putting
ginger and pepper into the Topeka
team from the start. He had the
crowd with him almost Immediately
He weighs in the neighborhood of 195
mounds and it is certainly a treat to
see him come in after hunts. but he
does the stunt all right. Topeka's
outfield seems fairly good.
Everybody plays but Lincoln,
And she won't even try;
Can't hit the ball, I'm thinkin',
Dodges the outfield fly;
Pitchers don't pitch little,
And that is why we weep
Everybody plays but Lincoln
She's fast asleep.
Nebraska State Journal.
Pueblo star-Journal: According to
the record, Nick karsten, the
pitcher purchased by Lincoln from
Denver. merits something better than
a trvo,1t Karsten was with the
Springfield, Mo, club in the Western
association last year Springfield
finished next to last with an average
of .361. Karsten pitched in ten VIC
tories and eleven defeats' more IMAM
100 points better than his team
pitcher Brennan, who has been max
ing such a cleanup at Wichita this
spring, won eight and lost eight last
season with Springfield, while kaui-
man. who has been making good this
wear with Dick Cooley's Topeka team,
also was at Springfield in 1908 and
did not do so well as Karsten, winning
twelve and losing fifteen. Karsten
has pitched only a part of one game
for Denver, but acquitted himself
creditably. the Grizzlies coming up
from behind and turning an almost
certain defeat into victory. Karsten
was at bat three times and got as
MANY hits. If Brennan and kaufman
can make it go in the Western league,
Karsten certainly has an equal
chance.
Tomorrow's game with Omaha will
start at 8 o'clock and Will be re-
produced by wire out at the ball park
Admission 5 cents.
The Lincoln Star is delighted with
the manner in which Corhan of the
Pueblo team covers the ground. In
Lincoln Corhan ranks next to Gagnier
as a shortstop. And Gagnier is some
shortstop too
Rick Adams of the Denver team es-
tablished a record of his own last
Wednesday at the opening game in
Sioux City, when after hitting the
first three men in one inning, he
famed the next three.
