Why Omaha Didn't Win.

Sandy Griswold in the Omaha
World-Herald: Why didn't Omaha win
the pennant? That's easy. She didn't
play good enough ball. On the road
she was holy fright. But she had
the players, didn't she. Yes, but cou-
pie of them lay down on her. Sure?
Sure.
It is a good thing to souse the ball,
but bad to get soused yourself. Base
ball has made mighty strides in the
past decade or so. It used to be the
vogue to get full every night and pose
as a tough man. But that was long
ago-before baseball became a strict
ly business proposition.
Nowadays the player who is ambit
ious to reach and shine in the big
leagues must have a moral character
pennies. He must know that all booze
is good for is to make trouble.
We had players come to us this
season with great reps-great reps,
alas, for both spit and highballs.
Boosting, promises and petting failed,
SO did cajolery and threats. Hence
Omaha lost the pennant. The ball
player never lived who made old John
Barleycorn take the count.
Bouquet From Wichita to Topeka.
For Wichita, there is nothing to it
but probable fifth place, and pos
sible drop back to sixth. It makes
little difference which, for the mar
gin in either case would hardly be
enough to boast of, while the first di-
vision has been missed and that was
the goal for which botn the Jobbers
and their champions were pulling.
They missed, and Topeka won it. Here
are congratulations to Cooley and his
crowd, for, as this department stated
last spring, Kansas ought to be repre-
scented in that first division, and if we
can't be there we are satisfied to see
Topeka hold up the reputation of the
state.
Watch US next year, though, for
we are going to be in the race.
