the 500 City aggregation, winning by
the one sided score of II to 5. Denver
punched hits in the second and fifth in
nings, scoring five runs in each inning
In the eight another rally netted four
runs. Sioux City took a batting streak
in the seventh but it stopped when
Jackson gave way to Corbett. Fells,
the former Cleveland pitcher, was hit
hard.

DOWNEY Is SIGNED.
Kansas City Utility Player Will Play
ShortstOp for Topeka.

Manager Cooley announced last
night that he had signed Downey.
utility player of the Kansas City Blues,
and expects him to arrive here today
to play the shortstop position. Dow
ney is a fast fielder and pretty fair
hitter. He was with the Denver team
for awhile last season and later went
to Kansas City His addition will
doubtless strengthen the shortstop
position, which has been considered
somewhat weak all season. Olson ap-
pears nervous and his work has suf-
fered on that account. Ole will, how
ever, be kept for utility infielder.

Notes of the Game.


Wooley had a great day of it getting
three hits, one double, and pulling off
two sensational fielding stunts. In the
third inning he made long running
catch which. robbed Dalton of what
looked like a three base hit. Lige had
to extend himself to get it and lost his
balance. In the fifth inning after Bader
had started to steal second Kerns
made an overthrow and Lige with a
quick throw caught Bader at third.
Phil Geier had an off day with the
stick Wednesday, but came back with
three yesterday. The little Dutchman
stings the ball just the fans like it.
DR.. Andrews was on the firing end of
a double which ended bad looking in
ming. With two men on and only one
out things were looking pretty dark.
Heckinger stung one down to Jay who
touched the bag and caught the runner
at first by big margin.
Niehoff. the Des Moines third base
man, is a great player. He ran into the
and very nearly got it. He missed one,
however, an easy chance, evidently be-
ing too certain. 1t was a foul from
KahPs wagon tongue but it was a
Harmless error.
LANCE but famed.
Fenlon had four putouts in left in the
first three innings, and after that did
not have a chance. He failed to bag
his usual cluster of hits but scored
twice.
1t was the hardest game of the sea-
son from the nerve standpoint. The
game was not decided until the last
man was out.
Beltz had the best control in the
pinches, barring the first inning when
he forced in run. In five of the nine
innings he retired the last batter with
men on bases by striking him out.
Fitzpatrick went in to play second in
place of Gilmartin yesterday, he evil
IDENTIFY being considered a better infield-
er. Gilmartin. however, got even, when
after F'itz had famed three times, he
went in to hit.
DIR. Jason twice tried to bunt and
each effort produced a little popup.
