WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW
Pueblo at Topeka.
Denver at Wichita.
Des Moines at Sioux City.
Lincoln at Omaha.

PAT Fo1bre won't come to Topeka
after all. This discouFag1ng news mas
changed the usual smile or the To-
peka rnagnate to a sigh of remorse:
The way Folbre was lost was heart
| sickening. Finn, the Little hoch
manager, wrote to Cooley telllhg MIN
| of Folbre while the Topeka team was
| in lincoln and the letter was delayed
by being forwarded back. AT the
same time it seems that Finn wrote
| to a certain manager in the IeXaS
/ league offering Folbre for the same
! figure, and this offer was accepIeo'
| prior to Cooleys acceptance. me
| fact that the Texas manager hveo
| closer to Little Rock accounts for ms
| getting in first. Cooley is certainly
| having hard luck with his pitching
staff. One pitcher. VINO Is no" s'aa
| in the Western league, was lost 10
| the Topeka club few weeks ago
| through an error in the sending OF
| telegram, when the player preferred
| mates in the league. But such luck
| can't always last. Cooley has cou-
| pie of other pitchers in sight and ex-
i poets to get at least one OF them IN
/ his net before the end of the week.
The Puebs open a four game series
| with Topeka this afternoon Judging
from the recent showing of the two
| teams, Topeka should take three or
the four. The Indians. however, are
| going better than on their former Wis
it and may spring something surprls-
ing on the natives. The Indians nave
| a good pitching staff. There is one
postponed game between the Two
| from the last series. Cooley, how
Il ever, is disposed to let this game go
until the next visit of the INDIANS;
when a double header will be played
Sunday, September 26, the last sun
day of the season.
The Lincoln fans are thoroughly
| convinced that exhibition games dur
ing the season are conducive to no
good. Frank Jude, the little Indian
outfielder of the Lynx, spralned MS
ankle in an exhibition game Thurs
dav and will be out for some time.
. | Consequently it is necessary to use a
pitcher in the outfield. This prob
ably cinches the eighth place honors
: for Lincoln.
| George Graham up at Omaha says
that he will be able to set into the
game again before the season is end
ed All of which should prove good
| news to the fans OF Rourkeville.
Des Moines has promised young
Lewis a rest as soon as McManus gets
to going. Butch Kerns doesn't think
Lewis rest will be very long, how
ever.
During the absence of Dryer, Will

Rourke expected Richard Taylor,
his new pitching recruit to join the
team in about five weeks, Pa must

won or lost by that time

Cooley is going on a scouting trip
the latter part of the week. While
| the team is at Wichita, he will leave
his proteges in charge OF Captain
| Geier and take q hike to Oklahoma
and Texas, where he has some young
sters in view whom he wants to look
| over There is young pitcher, q
hard hitting first baseman, an infeld-
err and an outfielder in whom he is
: interested and whom he may land for
next seasons team It isn't likely
that any of them could get loose this
: season. The only chance nowadays

scarce and men of any ability at al
