WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW
Topeka at Wichita.
Pueblo at Denver.
Lincoln at Omaha.
. Des Moines at Sioux City.
Tomorrow's Topeka-Wichita game
will be given by wire out at the ball
park, starting p. m. This game with
our old rivals will probably be one of
the most interesting of the season to
follow every play by wire.
Topeka is not the only city to re-
ceive bum Geographic reports of
games. In one of the Wichita Pueb-
company reported OF the Beacon Of
fee that Pueblo had made runs in
one inning, when it should have been
none.
Erloff. a former Springfield catch
er. who was drafted by Columbus is
back with Joplin. Erloff was left at
home on one of the Columbus trips
and in playing a semi-professional
game he got hit in the head.
Jay Andrews made good in his first
game at Oklahoma City. The big doc
tor confined his labors to coaching,
but Oklahoma City won over Calves
ton by score of to 2.
The Sioux City Tribune says that
Jude of the Lincoln team Is not the
hitting kid that he was a year ago.
That paper thinks the pitchers are
wise to him. Jude didn't get a hit in
any of the games he has played in
Topeka.
Howard Price who managed the
Guthrie team this spring has been de-
posed and w. J. Cooley, a third base
man of the Wheeling, w. Va, team
in the Central league has taken his
place.
Cy Landreth's great faith in human
honesty is likely to cost him his job.
In a recent game between Louisville
and Columbus on the grounds of the
latter the bases were filled with one
out. Cy was on first and the second
This forced Cy to second. The oppos-
ing shortstop told Cyrus there were
three outs and Cy taking him at his
word started a leisurely stroll for the
bench. 1t didn't take the shortstop
long to apply the ball to him. The
vile stood a good chance of winning.
Cy's trick cost them the game.
The Denver Republican says that
Burnum in the first game hit four
batters and each was solid PUNK

Denver has a new third baseman by
the name of Cooney. He is a young
ster who comes to Denver highly rec
commended.
Eddie zinran, the catcher who was
secured from Lincoln by Denver in
exchange for Irving Waldron, has
been released. Eddie wasn't in con-
dition to play and had not shown any
form all season. This leaves Zalusky
and Hallman as the regular catch
erS.
Des Moines Tribune: The fans of
the Western league will be greatly dis
pleased to learn that DR.. Jay An
sold by the Topeka team, and will
manage the Oklahoma City team in
another league. We believe that the
Topeka management made serious
mistake from a money end If not
from playing when the big fellow
was sold.
F. W Dickerson in the Denver
News: After seeing them all. the
Wichita team looks as good as any
in the league to me. I look for the
Izsies to fight it out with Omaha for
bound to finish in the first division,
fighting with Sioux City for third
place The Grizzlies do not look bet
ter than sixth unless there are some
great changes. Dick Cooley has a
scrappy team of considerable class.
and one that is likely to climb so as
to GUST either Des Moines or Sioux
city. Lincoln is playing fine ball late
Nv. but the Greenbackers are too weak
at the bat to be pennant contenders
The Pueblo team lost lot when it
lost Patterson. It does not look near
ly as good as before the champion
ship season opened.
Wichita Beacon: Peg Bemis. one of
the best twirlers who ever wore a
wichita uniform, pitched Terre Haute
