Dick Brown, an old Topeka bali
player who occupied the third station

has gone to Junction City where he
will play third for unknown. Dick
doubtful whether he can hit much.
Dick has been employed since his re-
turn from Texas in April cooking in
Topeka restaurant
GramIey has been playing Art Day.
in the outfield for several days. Day
is one of the most valuable men on
the team, and can be worked any
place.
Atty Wilson, the former Springfield
Midget, is going to take the job of
manager at Abilene. Wilson is far too
good a man to work in that circuit
and it is a wonder that he accepted
the offer. Atty could have landed
job with a western league club last
winter but declined.
Salina is pleased with it's latest
acquisition, Leonard, an outfielder.
Leonard has been singing the ball
and according to the Salina journal
this is one of the weaknesses of the
team.
Salina has sold Martin, the little
third sacker. to Junction City. Mar
tin was superfuous to the Salina team
although a good player.
The Salina Journal is getting after
Quigley and is suggesting any number
of improvements that should be made
on that team.
Cboteau. Abilene's Indian pitcher,
has jumped the team, and his where
abouts is unknown.
Dad Edwards. the old Western as
ISOLATION catcher and umpire, has
the shoes of Armstrong behind the
bat.
Schmidt. Hutchinson's new pitcher.
has fallen to the inevitable and Is now
known as Heinie Schmidt.
Hutchinson has new southpaw.
twirler, Guy Ferris. who looks pretty
good to Sir Billiam link.
watson. twir1er from Illinois, has
joined the Great Bend team and is
the idol of the Great Bend fans.
Wellington Journal: Newton has
laid claim to Wellington's new pitcher,
Hayes, and has taken the matter up
with President Hostutler. Newton
claims that it had secured Hayes be-
fore he reported at WELLINGTON. Presf-
dent Finch says that there Is nothing
to Newton's claim and that wellington
will keep Hayes.
In speaking about the second game
which Salina played with Clay Center
a paper from that town says that
"Salina started out with sKrapps' and
threw similar combinations through
l.out the entire game"
President Hostut1er of the Kansas
State league has released Umpire
Alton. Manager Meade of Wellington
entered number of protests against
Eugene Vols has been appointed in
his place.
Mcpherson Republican: Some of
the newspapers in the league have
ventured to say that Ben Jones, Earl
Mack team are being overestimated.
This report is probably being spread
to encourage Weakened pitchers.
These three have caused more hys8
terra among the pitchers of the league
than any three other players of any
other team. -. George Brannon
played a feature game at third Fri
day. The Mcpherson fans will ven
ture to say that no third baseman in
the league could have equaled him on
three one motion catch and throws
| made Friday. It was also Brannon
who brought in the winning run.
