Denver Times: 1t is unnecessary to
repeat that Denver is one of the live
lest sporting towns on the map. The

bay tree, the fans fairly eat UP any
thing that offered them, but there is
limit to all things, and we must have
a team this year. The team needs
about three high class players. It is
Colonel Burke's move. Don't lose
sight of Heinie Mag. He should have
full credit for his work at the bat. He
has been hitting the ball every day,
when the other members of the team
have been falling down. Mag is one
of the real good Cubs, and the same
may be said of the outfield and one
Lindsay, as we'll as Hartman.
The team will be back home in nine
more days opening a week from We'd
nesday with the Denver team.
Denver News: Walter Good, the
Denver boy, who played the first three
| weeks of the season with Omaha, is
making quite a hit with the Joplin club
| of the Western association, which Is
under the management of w. S. Buck
les of Cripple Creek. Walter writes
the most hustling and up-to-date towns
he has ever been in. He is not at all
/ displeased at being sent there.
| Too much credit cannot be given Pat
| ricio Bohannon for his pitching of late.
The big fellow from Kentucky has
pitched five games this year and won
i four of them He should have won the
| other one, as he held his opponents to
two runs and seven hits in that game,
| the Grizzlies being unable to bat
enough in that game to win any game.
| When it comes to speed, or curves, for
| that matter, Patricio may not be any
| thing out of the ordinary, but he
| pitches with his brain in a mastery
way which stamps him as an artist. Up
| to date he is the teams winning pitch

most popular members of the Grizzlies

action the sporting editor of the Pueblo

| The Denver papers certainly stood
by Manager Jones during the recent
slump of the team on the road. The
| papers are unanimous in the opinion
| that he is doing all that he possibly
| can for the team. Denver wants a
| good team and the papers are urging
| the signing of a couple other players.
| Denver is entitled to a good team, and
| the excuses that have been offered for
| years, should terminate, and the fans
| of the Colorado metropolis should get
| a touch of a pennant winner for once.
The Wichita team seems to be get

could stick in the first division to the
end, and upset the dreams of the
| Western league dopesters who before
| the season started prophesied that the
| two teams would fall shy of class

i Lincoln Star: Well, it can truthfu1ly
be said that even if Wichita doesn't
land higher UP at the end of the season

| Cooleyites. Taken all round they are
as clean bunch of players as could be
