Serene and imperturbable, Magnate
Isbell leads his team to victory. And
he smiles a winning smile. To see him
stand waiting to bat or coaching at
the base one would think he had, like
JEFF, lost all his former pepper. But
not so. He simply has it under good
control. When chance affords, he has
the jiu jitsu. When he was extended
the credit of winning tuesdays game.
Isbell said: mot for a moment. The
whole team did it. We have no in
dividual players" And that must be
Izzy's everybody pulling to-
is the only team on the entire circuit
unchanged.
1--WE have yet to shift the line UP
or change a player. 1t is the same
bunch we opened with said Isbell.
Ever since June 13 the Witches have
been on the road. In that hard run
they have always kept near the top.
Later. in the season when they get the
settling games at home, perhaps they
can't be stopped. Isbell smiled as he
thought of 1t but was too modest to
say what was evidently on his mind.
mo, I wouldn't say We would win the
pennant-but we will be going some. -
That the Wichita fans are anxious
to see their warriors again is proven
by the fact that plans were made to
give the team and the Cooleysox an
auto ride, speech by the mayor and
a band concert. The thing to do would
be to make Izzy and Dick Cooley talk.
1t is a unique situation when WITCH
tia and Topeka meet. They. are the
fiercest rivals and yet pals against out
siders. The division of the series.
therefore, bears no sting. Each would
rather fatten on other clubs meat.
Cy Young has the goods. He shot
'em up in all sizes and twists yester-
day. His only trouble was in deliver
ing the goods at the spot ordered.
When he gets his direction, he'll be
another of the Kaufman Wright
variety.
Flynn umpired the balls and strikes.
switching with Spencer who then
judged runners Vociferous fans
lowed he was rotten and once Cooley
was so sure of it Flynn had to send
ever, Flynn's work was acceptable.
Mig Perrine has been recalled to the
Omahogs by Pa Rourke. He is a sec
ond sacker of sensational proc1ivities
and once went out of the Western into
American league class. Then he start
ed back and after a turn around the
American association dropped to
Omaha last season and from there out
of sight.
st. Joe News-Press: carney Reilly
has the college spirit sticking out all
over him. 1t takes fast college or
university team to show up with the
pep, and as Barney, used to lead the
Ellis, he knows something about that
aforesaid quality. We've noted that
he makes very agreeable noise over
there at third. Always talking. We're
for you, Barney, for there's nothing
like pepper. Talk to 'em for further
orders.
st. Joe Gazette: Another pitcher.
George Pratt, late of the Colorado
State league, with the Grand Junction
team, a right handler, was signed by
Manager Jack Holland of the Drum
mers and will report FOR duty Monday.
Moreover, Pitcher watson, loaned to
the Larned, Kansas, team, has been
recalled and will report Monday. Man
ager Holland, in announcing this, said
that as southpaws seemed to have hard
luck with the Denver team he planned
to get Watson, Pratt and Johnson into
the series with the Grizzlies next week.
Pratt has been doing great work at
Junction City and forced to pitch three
successive days, he won all of the
games. His batting, too, is said to beS
excellent for twirler. Watson has
been showing great shape at Larned.
