When straws were drawn wednes-

Manager Hendrick. of the Denver
Grizzlies, has released Irving Waldron,
outf1elder. Walcron was engaged early
in the season to supp1ant McAleese who
had hand broken. Now McAleese is
| to go. Cooley could fill up his garden
with the former Denver player but the
pitchers can push the club across UNI
til the end of the season.
A few thousand years ago the prom
| Using -youEgster, JOSEPH, was sold by
| his brothers to a team in the Egyptian
League That incident has been hand
ed down through sacred history as d
measly trick although Joseph made
good in a decided manner-with- Mrs.
Pharaoh. But those old liners had
nothing on the Western League of to-
day. Frank Isbeli is trying his best
to buy his brother. The thing is re-
versed but the principle is about the
same. gang of Indians known as
the Sioux in these woods hold brother
Albert for ransom and keep him hid
den out in brushy -'ace called Win
nipeg. Frank. the older brother, hail
ed as Ivy journeyed to the Indian
camp and sought to rescue his brother
from enc Fairweather holder under
contract. but the ransom demanded
was far too great and nothing is to
be done. 4aae
Hal Rustenkoven, who is pitching for
the Cheyenne Indians, the team Larrie
Thraiikill is with. and putting them IN
a way to win the Rocky Mountain
championship, has belonged to the Abb
lene Central Kansas League club all
season Wednesday he was sold to the
st. Louis Americans for $3.50. Under
| the name of Rusty, this pitcher worked
| against Casey Hager1nan of the Den
| yer Western League club who for the
| day pitched for the Denver Hofbraus
| and shut them out in a nO-hit game.
| The Denver Post said editorially OF the
1 lnfairness of the Denver semi-pro-
| flesh using Hagerman and also Weaver
| as umpire: mot only did Mr.. Hager-
| mans pitching at once become the OBJ
4 ject of attack. and the decisions of Mr..
| Weaver the subject of jeer and jiDe,
| but the popular love of fair play car
ried the, crowd 50 far thai it began to
| pull for the Cheyenne team to win.
| AS Mr.. Ha german had his highly pro-
/ feSsiOnal curves hammered to various
| portions of the lot, and the cheyenne
| score mounted in spite of Mr.. Weaver S
| decisions, tho cheers increased. They
| Kissed fiercely when young Mr.. Thrail-
| kill was robbed of his home run, and
| when gallant young Mr.. Gibson was
/ called out at the plate And when
| young Mr.. Rustenhoven, of powerful
/ arm and deceptive curves, closed the
/ game without allowing the Hofbraus a
/ hit or a run, completely Outshining
1 cocksure Mr.. Hagerman, he received
/ what politicians term an ovation.
| Des Moines Capital: Dick Cooley is
Isure the queer one. After selling half
! a dozen of his team. bringing the
/ squad down to eleven or twelve. he
4 takes a vacation. There are only four
i pitchers on the staff, but despite this
i fact Cooley's absence forces Abbott to
go on the gate and one Of the quartet

| ST. Joseph -Neasspress: Jack Hol-
| land and family landed Crutcher.
| Ends star. tWirler, for his st. Joe
club. Holland has been trying to corr
raj the diminutive Western association
star for a month, but the price Enid
/ put on him was prohibitive. Several
major league clubs looked him over,
too, but the figure demanded and the
fact that he resembles, in size, pound

/ Lincoln Star: Kilroy. the st. Paul
pitcher, on whom Lincoln obtained an
/ option last week. will not be asked to
l. report. Ine return OF McGTdLn ana
IHagerman to the lineup will make his
1services unnecessary. 1t is said that
Denver is after the player, but Des-
pain asserted before leaving Lincoln
that Kilroy might be found of use to
the Saints and that they were reluctant
| to part with him.
st. Joseph News-Press: Several days
ago, in a small town in New York
state, from which, Outfielder Briscoe
hailed, one of the local preachers be-
came greatly agitated upon reading the
| tin hoard in front of a newspaper Of
| flee: Lord With the Athletics This
well meaning but deluded minister
i rushed back to his desk and wrote a
stirring rebuze to the editor. NO.
said he, "emphaticalIy no-the Lord is
not with the Athletics or any other ball
team while they continue to play ball
on the Sabbath. You should not advise
lyour readers and the public in general
of any such impression. 1t is errone-
Gus and without Christian precedent or
| reason" 8zs
Lincoln News: There is no explain
ing the ability of the st. Joe team to
win a majority of it's games from Lin
coin. The Drummers have a habit of
| reserving their dub baseball for other
towns, but when they come to Lincoln
/ they play the game in bangup style.
That fact is the only apparent solution.
AS presently constituted, st. Joe has no
joke ball club, but considering the rec
ords of the two teams in every de-
partment of the sport, it would seem
THAT the Antelopes ought to have some
thing on this Holland crew. The scores
fail to show 1t, however. which is why
we grieye.
