Des Moines at Topeka.
Omaha at Wichita.
Lincoln at Pueblo.
Sioux City at Denver

There will be few of the remaining
games on the schedule called off be-
cause of wet grounds The only ex-
the time the game is called. accord
ing to Manager Cooley. There are
already too many postponed games
on the Topeka calendar which are
piiing up in the shape of double
headers.
Johnny Shea whose feet were
poisoned by loud hosiery has re-
covered from his recent aff1iction and
latest reports are that his hose dis
play is now a very tame affair.
Belden, Jones and Standard of the
Denver club are hitting above the
$50 mark. What Denver needs now
however is not SO much smuggling, but
more inside work in the offense.
The Sioux City Tribune is authority
for the statement that Neckinger, I'M
til recently a Des Moines asset, is to
be turned over to the Pueblo club.
Kansas City Journal: Speaking
of ball players. we call your atten-
ton to one Mr.. Boles, late of Topeka
Two hits and perfection fielding was
his share of the game. This boy can
run bases some, too, If anyone hap
pens to inquire about IL.
Sioux City Journal: And the way
that Wichita team keeps on winning
is beginning to cause the fans
throughout the circuit some I'M
easiness. We still think that Wichita
is a good club, but not necessarily a
first division aggregation. Maybe it
is. We hope so. At any rate it has
three cracking good pitchers in
Brennan, Shaner and Aitchison.
Des Moines has good pitching
and Clarke. Miller and Clarke belong
to Comiskey, likewise Bader. Dalton
and Mattick in the outfield
Scissors Ashley who is still twirling
for Enid recently pitched no hit
game for Enid. Scissors may yet get
out of the class G circuits.
Bob Lowe wants pitchers more
than anything else. He says he never
saw such a scarcity of good pitchers
and cannot account for it. What is
are good right-handers who are shy on
spitters. The day of the spitball
pitcher is evidently passed. Many of
the big league catchers have been
strongly opposed to it. and Doom OF
the Phillies won't catch a spitbali
pitcher. Lowe has watched num-
Der of clubs play this season and
finds most of the infielders small men
too small for big league teams.
By the defeat of Wichita and Sioux
CITY yesterday and the victories OF
Des Moines and Denver, the six lead
| ing teams were brought closer to-
gether. There is certainly a pretty
race in the Western league. The two
new Kansas towns have had a
beneficial effect.
| Otto FIoto in the Denver Post:
The article of ball that the Denver
team is playing at the present time
| If kept up, should land them among
| the leaders in short time. They
have demonstrated that no team in
| the Western league has anything on
them when playing together, and
| Jones is as confident now as he has
always been that he will be among
the first two when the season ends
The fans are all roofing hard for the
| Grizzlies, and that in itself is giving
/ the boy much encouragement.
| Bobbie Lowe, the Detroit scout, is
| in Wichita today but will be back to-
| morrow.
