The Wichita team is in hard straits.

the Kansas. State league, has jumped

Brennan has been left at home on

shackleford and Hassler in good
ita won't get any higher with a
couple of brushers pitching. Holland
and Weaver are alternating at first.
Wichita has certainly had a run of
hard luck.

uniform awhile. has faded away. He
was released several days ago. but
wards, trying to get into communica-
ton with some team in the Central
association. Whether he was sue
cessfuI or not is not known. Any
how he has left the town.
Thomson will scarcely work again
this season. The little southpaw is
in bad shape and will likely rest up
Cooley is going to give him a
thorough trial in the outfield next
season. With his ability to hit and
run bases. he should make a valuable
man in the outer defense, II he can
only learn to field.
The Wichita Beacon thinks the

the weakness of the Denver and
Wichita teams. Maybe SO. But be
that as it may the Cooleysox look
pretty dangerous.
Des Moines Tribune: It has been
stated before that Cooley has a
strong team and it is reiterated again
here. 1t is a team that is going to
is going to come mighty close to
landing the third place in the West
ern league this year. All season long
the Des Moines team has found the
with the exception of Sioux City to
defeat. Yesterday the Topekans per-
formed a gracious act, winning from
Sioux City and forcing the latter team
known all over the circuit that Del
Alderman is weak in fielding. He is
mighty inaccurate in throwing to first
after picking up hunts. That is the

big leagues up to this time. Yester-
day the Cooleysox won because of
this weakness. If Alderman gets a
bad start and the players get to lay
ing the ball down at him he is pretty
sure to throw the game away. He
certainly did it yesterday.
Sioux CitU Tribune: There's moth
ing to it-those ToDekas are hard to
beat They never quit and stay right
by the guns until the last man is out.
That's why we like the club They
are worthy opponents for any team
in the circuit.
Jack Holland in the Lincoln Star:
To my way of thinking the Rourkes
have more than fighting chance to
win the rag in the Western league
this season. Omaha has proved more
than a winner of "at home" games
this year, and unless the boys lose
their nerve Just at the moment when
nerve counts most, I am picking
them to beat Sioux City out. 1 don't
believe Des Moines can hold UP at the
pace they're going. For Wichita I'm
hoping as high a place as possible;
at least fifth place. Ny main object
is to beat out Topeka

Perhaps one of the best evidences
of returning prosperity was made
manifest the other day by the crowds
Of we'll dressed people everywhere. The
streets were throHged and the prevail
ing style of dress for men and women
was to be seen on every hand. The
trolley cars were loaded down all day,
the amusement resorts received Wis
itors in almost unprecedented num-
bers and at Savin Rock. the leading
Connecticut watering place, the crowd
was estimated at $4,000 people. Wher-
ever there was anything going on the
spectators were numerous, all were in
holiday attire and proved conclu-
sively that they appreciated the holi-

they had dollar to spend.
Business may not have recovered its
normal strength in every branch, but
labor is being fairly well employed
and there is no better evidence of 1t
than in the appearance of the average
man and woman. 1t is a bit Distress
