The team stopped at North Platte Tues

Washington American league team, was
expected in during the day.
Tracy Johns, the s%outhpaw whom Pa
received in exchange for Noah and then
traded to Wichita, is another who came
back" He was released by Wichita. Johns

afraid he won't do the right thing. and
this makes him too tlmid for league caliber
at present.

the players say they expect to be all right

Out I'm the Eighth.

LINCOLN, July 1.-The G-reenbackers
came up from behind today and defeated
Denver, s to 4 in a game that seemed
fierceiy on Jones, who was touched for
by Cassidy and Charley Jones,
followed by singles by Standard and MaaB,
with a walk on balls to Lindsay switched

third and cinched the victory In the eighth,
when hits by Sullivan, Thomas and
Gagnier, aided by two gifts or balls, sent
four runs across the plate. Aside from
McCafferty's fine pitching, the batting OF
Hogrlever and a Jumping one-hand catch
by Gagnier OF a line drive from Belden's
bat were the features. Scores;
