WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW.
Omaha at Topeka dwo games)-
Des Moines at Wichita
Lincoln at Pueblo.
Sioux City at Denver.
Bonnie Harris, the incubator baby of
the Topeka pitching staff, has returned
from Junction City where he had been
loaned for few days by Magnate
Cooley. Harris tells some great stories
of life in the far west. and of the
pugilistic battles, burning at the stake,
tar and feathering and bull fights.
That Lincoln team isn't doing bad
work at this stage Of the game. Being
nothing better than hopeless ta1lenders
the work of the team on the present
road trip in which the team had drawn
better than an even break. the style of
game put up is commendable. Really
Lincoln should have been higher in the
race. Good pitching has been the only
negative quality of the team.
Wonder If the Pueblo fans are sore
at the trade Of Spencer for McChesney.
The new outfielder's hitting has won the
last three games.
Denver has failed to make good dur
ing the sojourn at home. The team
had a. schedule of % games, and al
though not through yet, the chances
are that the team won't get an even
break.
Lincoln Evening News: The Dubuque
management of the Iowa State league
have turned Catcher Nunnemacher over
to the local club and he is expected
to report in Lincoln Friday morning.
Nunnemacher has been doing boss work
over in the Buckeye state and 1t is
believed that he will strengthen the
local club much behind the bat. The big
boy comes in mighty handy with Jimmy
Sullivan over on first base and needed

Don't forget the double header to-
morrow. This is Omaha's last trip here
and there is pretty fair chance OF
is now but six games difference, and
although the end of the season is but
q month away there is still chance
to get ahead. that is II the Omahogs
have little bad luck and things break
good for the locals.
Louisville Evening Post: Thanks to
Art F'enlon, the Colonels secured two
run lead in the third inning. The
heavy hitting outfielder singled, was
sacrificed took third on an out, and
scored on Quinlan's hit in the second.
In the third he scored woodruff with
fine single to right but Salm left
him and Sullivan stranded on the bags.
Lincoln News: 1.-THE Lincoln team
as it stands to day would be in the
first division and a pennant contender
had 1t played the quality of ball all
season that it is now putting up" de-
clared President Despair in speaking
of the baseball situation today. Ger
tain scribes throughout the circuit
wrote our obituary in criticising our
sale of Fox expressing the idea that
nothing was left of the team. Sub
sequently results have this early
shown the wisdom of the move. The
team is by far playing better ball than
at any time during the season. Jim
mic Sullivan is showing splendid man
agerial ability; he has the confidence
and good will of every man on the
team and his knowledge of the game
gained by long experience is not ex-
celled by any manager In the league.
The record of the boys thus far on
the road is indeed most pleasing and
satisfactory, and expect to see them
return home with half the games
of this trip hanging to their belts. I
want to promise the fans that from
September 2, when the club enters
the home stretch at home, they will
see the highest, snappest baseball
