like Mrs. Cooley, secretary of the
Cooieysox club. In fact, they say Lady
richard knows about as much base
Dali as her illustrious husband. Sir
Richard.
Cyrus Young III has been sent back
to Oklahoma City. Young showed
signs of being top liner, but missed
the plate SO many times when he tried
not to his case seemed almost hope
less.
Bobbie Kahl. whom Cooley sus-
pended recently for lack of Judgment
Off the diamond. has found a berth
league. Kahl was hitting at a point
close to the top for Topeka when he
was let down.
Des Moines News: Sioux City con-
tlnueS to hit the ball like a house
afire and at the present gait it won't
be long until they have the Western
pennant cinched, but they are expected
to take slump when they hit the
road and will not have the little park
IN winch to bang the ball against or
over the fence.
Lincoln News: Mitchell, the Boos-
ters' new southpaw, who won from the
!Antelopes Tuesday by a to 1 score,
is colleglan from the southland. be-
ing loaned to Uncle John Higgins by
Charley Comiskey. The Chicago mag
nate has been sort of "angel' to the
Des Moines boss for the past three
seasons; Something like twenty White
Sox ball players have been turned over
to Des Moines during that time.
Lincoln News: A few of the Lin
coin fans are wondering why next
scheduled for Rourkeville. The switch
was made by the schedule drafters at
the annual meeting in Chicago in or
der that the Omaha club might have
its share of the Sunday games. of
which each club is entitled to twelve.
The fact that Lincoln was awarded the
morning game on the Fourth also
figured in the general accounting. The
game of next Sunday was not a con-
eession to Pa Rourke-it was his just
due and the Lincoln management has
no shadow of complaint.
ST. Joseph News-Press: That
Wooley person is some outtielder.
Make note of it. In the second game
he grabbed a long fly off Shea's bat
while running at headlong speed to-
ward the fence, catching the ball at
his waist line with a gracefulness that
fans Some of the Packer long fly hit
tiers are going to be sorry that Wooley
is in the league when Sioux City and
Topeka meet at Cooleytown. And, for
LndL matter, the Packer SluggerS Will
have the same trouble almost every
where they go. The outfields of the
Western League clubs are all mighty
strong. We wouldn't attempt to pick
the bunch of gardeners individually,
but take it from us the Drummer trio
is ace high with the rest.
Two star stops featured the first game.
Corhan got away with a stellar stunt
in the second when he COPIED a Texas
Lacquer off Thomason's bat, and
Thomson turned a sensational trick in
deep left by pulling down a long line
drive and robbing Barney Reilly of
what would have been good strong

Denver Post: The limit in umpires
is the staff that President Tip O'NeiI
has under his charge. If there is one
high-class umpire. with the possible
exception of Mullin. on his staff we
want to be shown. Take yesterdays
game, for instance. Pitcher Jarnigan
made a deliber. tie balk and Lloyd was
allowed to take second on it. Then he
made three more moves of exactly the
same caiber and players going to Sec
ond were called. out. Other leagues
have competent officials to look after
the games. Why not the Western.l
