Dick Cooley left last night for juno
ton City. where he will appear on a
scouting expedition this afternoon.
Cooley has heard considerable of one
Of the Ellsworth players, and is going
to look this gentleman over. He will
return tonight or in the morning and
will take a little jaunt down in the
Western association territory, perhaps
spending the remainder of the week
there. Il am looking for young blood
for next year, said Cooley, land IL
can get a few promising youngsters I
will have a team that will be right in
it from the start 1 won't lose but one
or two of this years team so I will
start the season in good shape. Now is
the time to begin getting ready for
| next year"
Beals Becker knocked a home run
for Boston Saturday which contributed
considerably in one of the victories
over Philadelphia. In the same game
Chick Aubrey got hit in the right eye
| by a pitched ball and will be out of 1t
for few days.
| Hogriever will be in town again the
| latter part Of the week. Saturday Guy
Green closed a deal by which Pritchett
goes to Pueblo in exchange for the
scrappy one. Hogriever will play third
| for Lincoln and not having any team to
tie better than he did on the occasion
| OF his last appearance here.
| Jack Haskell is working with his arm
| In a cast. 1t was hurt in the Des
Moines series by a foul tip.
| The Sioux City team opens at To-
| peka tomorrow. This team is going
better than any team in the circuit
right now. Ducky Holmes is getting
| the work out of his players and will
| show Topeka some real baseball.
Ducky If not the most popular man
| ager in the league is the most talked
of.
| The Denver papers at first praised
| GlenalVin for his work. The last
bunch handed him taken from the
| Times is as follows:
| Umpire Glenalvin got in bad with
| the fans yesterday. He gave Denver
a close decision at first, and because
Fox questioned it he sent the Lincoln
manager out of the game, and then
| off the grounds. The bugs imme-
| diately espoused the suspended play
| ers cause and Glenalvin was promptly
pronounced out of favor by shouts of
depreciation from the grandstand. At
Omaha, G1enalvin was almost mob
| bed by the spectators in a game last
week, and on the last trip he put
Swampy Thompson out of the game
| because the catcher asked whether he
| had called a strike or a ball, and be-
cause he questioned punk decision
| at Third, Mag was given the same
treatment. Every game which Glen
alvin has umptred has more resem-
bled funeral than the great Ameri-
can pastime. The crowd wants q lit
| tie action and spice in the game, and
| this they cannot get while the loud
voiced umpire is running things.
Denver Times: Lindsay, who was
spiked a few days ago while playing
his position at first. is still quite lame,
and he may be obliged to leave the
game for few days. Swampy Thomp-
son had his thumb put out of joint
yesterday by a foul tip, and Billy
Hallman was put in as backstop. 9th
erwise the Denver team is in fine
shape, physically, and all are playing
| good ball. Standard is making a good
second baseman and is one of the
heaviest hitters on the team.
Gus Bonnon recently pitched the
Puebs to victory. All of which causes
| become of RUDE James, who was to
| have reported at Lincoln on the ex-
change for Bonno.
The Lincoln News says that Fox
was not fined when put out of the
1
a man is banished from the games in
| the Western league he is supposed to
| be fined ten dollars. The News is
probably misinformed.
| Danny Green is the official pinch
| hitter for the Wichita club. Danny
hasn't done anything since leaving
| Topeka but get in the pinches. AS a
| pinch hitter Danny is clotting 500.
Bob Groom is working regularly
with the Washington Nationals, but
| on account of the commanding lead
/ which the Cantillons have on the sew
| enth rung of the ladder, Boobies per-
| centage of victories isn't much better
| than Hagerman's batting average last
year.
| McClintock's injured side is mend
| ing rapidly and he will be able to
| work by the latter part of the week.
| This is the last week of baseball
| for awhile. The present stretch of
| home games closes Sunday with the
| double header with Lincoln. The
team then takes the road for quite a
stretch of games during which the
| following will be played: At Lincoln
| July S, 5; at Omaha, July Z, 8, and
| 10; at DesMoines July IL, IL. 10 and
Ia; at Sioux City IS, Is, II and Is;
at Lincoln July 20. 81 and %. This
