The chances are good for Topeka
to stay in the first division Although
Wichita has lewn Increased strength
she has failed to come within two
games of Topeka. and with the To-
Gals at home playing the two Colorado
teams, from whom the Cooleysox can
be expected to take a majority of the
games, there is little need for worry.
1t was pretty scary for while.
Ducky Holmes was displeased with
some statements which fan at Sioux
City was making few days ago, and
proceeded to the grandstand to make
a general cleaning of the objection
able on Holmes broke the fans nose
and inflicted other bodily injuries,
now, and has sued Holmes for ST.
900. The Objectionable bug was a
state official.
The Sioux City press roundly con-
demned Holmes for his brutal attack
The Journal says: His action was
denounced as a disgrace to the game,
and a rank injustice to the fans. in
GLIDING the best people of Sioux City,
who have so ioyally supported the
game, but who can not stand for
such rowdyism, even from the mama
ger of their favorite team"
After fOoling along for two months
without getting control, Shaner has
won three straight games for the IL
zies. And two of these were from
Topeka, who always considered Mig
an easy mark.
Another fight was staged in Sioux
City Monday, which shows that the
closing days of the Western League
race are not free from bitter feelings.
Bob O'Callahan, who has been chap
eroning the team on its recent trips,
and Jack Haskell engaged in some
bitter blows. O'Callahan laid some
of the defeats of the Boosters in Sioux
City to the work of Umpire Haskell
and sought to get even.
The Lincoln club has picked up
Routt, who was with the Mcpherson
club this summer. Routt got away
with a no hit game with Mcpherson
and he was considered one of the
most promising youngsters around
the circuit. He has been holding out
for some time, but finally came to
terms with the Links and reported
early this week. Manager Sullivan's
luck in picking McGrath, who seems
to have the goods, has encouraged the
club to go after more youngsters.
Jimmy Austin of the Omaha team
last season, who made a great show
ing in the post-Season games here, is
putting up great game at third for
New York Highlanders.

order to correct any misapprehension
which may arise from an article recently
published in THE MINER regarding the
planting of fish in the streams on the
west side of the county Mr.. Sutherland
says the old board of commissioners
ordered the fish, and there are to be
three shipments to each district. The
first consignment was sent to Mr. Begg's
district on the west side, and the east or
Third district will have three shipments
within the next 60 days, Mr.. Fountain
designated the points for distribution,
and Mr.. Sutherland has made no
changes in Mr. Fountains plans.
Mr.. Sutherland further says that there
will be plenty of fish for all parts of the
county, and if any one desiring fish in
this district will address him at New
port he will see that they get them. The
county has recently received ninety pair
of Hungarian pheasants for distribution
over the county, and each district will
receive its share and parties wishing to
place them should make application to
the commissioners.
