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

Lincoln has a new pitcher. He is
Hank Carson secured from Denver.
This is the same lad who debutted in
professional ball with the Springfield
team on the Topeka grounds on the
morning Of last Fourth of July.
Denver is going to release a couple
more pitchers. There are plenty of
seasoned men on the club now and
some of the youngsters will have to go.
Gillen and Olmstead seem to be doing
the best work, although Patsy Bohan-
non is said to have cut out some of the
fat, and some other things for which
he is famous.
There are three dry towns in the
Western league and in each of these
towns there will be no excuse for poor
ball playing. Both Topeka and Wich-
tia are dry by virtue of the state law.
Lincoln recently went dry by virtue of
the state local option clause.
Otto F1oto in the Denver Post: Our
Grizzlies leave on their first eastern in
vasion after today's game at Broadway
park with Lincoln. They will go away
in the first place, and their first OPP
ponents will be the Sioux City bunch.
If we play the kind of ball we have
been playing for the past ten days we
need not fear for the safety of our
Cubs abroad, as they will win as good
as 60 per cent of their games while
away. Charley Jones has surely got
that bunch of youngsters playing fast
ball, and that the fans appreciate the
goodly sum of real Leash spent by Mr..
Burke and his partner, Gunthrope. was
illustrated when the largest crowd that
has been in the park for two years was
present to witness the game yesterday.
And what is better still, we are going
to see even larger crowds If the boys
1xnr -1and Nv
loves a winner. We have seen enough
of Western league ball this year to
leave no further doubt of the fact that
it is the fastest caliber that has been
presented to us since it's organization
in 1900, and the youngster that makes
good here this year is fast enough for
any big league company that may
choose to draft him. I feel that there
are at least four or five on the Denver
team that will be among the majors
when the next season rolls around.
DOC" Miller has been ordered to
join the Pueblo Indians at Sioux City
Sunday Miller has been attending
medical school at Toronto and asked to
be allowed to remain there as long as
possible.
Lee CULLEN, an old Western Lacquer,

son and who played with the No. 2
team during the spring, is now doing
the utility work for the Minneapolis
team in the American association.
Rhodes, who pitched last year for
Omaha and who figured in the pennant
series in Sioux City, is fighting Lush

Thompson. Denver's third baseman.

Rusty owens, the player who was

where he will fling for the outlaw team
of that place.
Outfielder Curtis of the Des Moines

the Lincoln team, has been sold to the
