Doesn't it get hard to be optimistic
when a team drops five out of six?
The Cooleysox are on the bum and
there's no doubt about it. Perhaps II
Dick would get a few out of the big
leagues instead of sending his call to
the brush it would help.
The worry which Denver. Wichita
and Sioux City have in wondering
where they Will find themselves each
night, is something which never both
ers Topeka. They never know whether
they should take the first, second or
third. With the Cooleysox it is easy
take the last without question
With Reilly back at short, Cy Young
getting into condition to pitch the ad-
dition Of Reagan and Henry, and the
improvement in Kunk1e's knee, the
Cooleysox may get in shape to win a
few by the time they get home July
l. In spite of the coal dust they are
breathing.

CT umpire. James Flanagan who

Bill Kelley, second sacker of tho
Witches in 1907, who jumped to the
California outlaws from a Wichita re-
serve, is coming back to IsbelI. The
California League burst and the
prodigal wants to come home
Lincoln Star: Cole certainly is ba5Iv
needed. The entire Antelope fnfieI5
with the sole exception of Jack Thnrr,,
as, would be the better for a rest
Cockn1an has an ankle which will give
| him trouble as long as he is getfine
/ il bumped every day. Gag will have =
bum pepper for some time as a res,i+
| of his collision with Fox and Wieder
aaul has a heel that makes rrnnin-
and fielding alike difficult for him ThaS
the whole team, except Wiedensani hss
taken a batting slump and Coles svrst
stick will be appreciated.
