Mr.. O'NeiH announced that Topeka
would be given one more chance this
year and that the Wichita series. Sept,
rs, q, % and 20 would be played in that
city,
reserved by the Lincoln club and for
warded to National Secretary Farrell is;
as follows: J. w. Sullivan, Arthur
Kruger, Wilkia Clark, ]. N Gagnier,
James Cockman. Frank Jude willis
Cole, Paul Cobb, G. V. Farthing, Levi

Hagerman, w w. Wolverton, L. D.
Bennett. Archie Turpen, c. c. Crews
(suspended), Fred Owen (suspended),
Lewis West, Milo Stratton, Harry
Smith. S. Campbell. Lincoln fang are
familiar with most of these MINES
Crews is the former Pueblo pitcher for
whom the local management early last
year traded Gus Bonno. Crews has
never reported but in order to validate
its claim the Lincoln club was COM
PEELED to place him on the suspended
list. The same pertains to Fred Owen,
the Trinidad, Col, third baseman, who
failed to report last spring. Owen had
a bad arm early in the season, but later
played semipro ball in Colorado and
should be in shape to join the Ante
lopes Of 1911. Competent judges say he
is a highly promising youngster AMI
that hitting is his forte. Gagnier and
Farthing, while sold to the Chicago
Sox, are placed on the reserve list as
the Lincoln management is assured that
both will be returned to the Antelopes
If not retained by the Sox. Stratton
and Campbell were drafted recently by
the local management, while Smiths
release was purchased from Fremont
outright. Lewis West is a semipro out
fielder, this year with the Blackfoot,
Idaho, team, whose terms have been
accepted by President Despair. West
is touted as a Slugger and his stick
work has attracted the attention of
several professional clubs. He for
warded his terms to President Des-
pain, who gave notice of acceptance,
which cinches the player, and then
placed Vests name on Lincoln's list
of reservations.
ST. Joseph Gazette: Umpire HurI-
burt, who is officiating at League park,
seems to be afflicted with the fear that
he is going to be accused of being d
homer. At any rate his work Satur
day would indicate such. He called
three ST. Joseph runners, Powell twice
and Jones once, out at first base when
they at least got there at the same
time that the ball did. 1t looked like
they beat it and it is certain the ball
didn't beat them. On strikes and balls,
Hurlburt wasn't perfect, either.
Sioux City journal: Lincoln fans are
planning a banquet for the Antelopes
at the clase of the season. WHINE
bago'' Johnson, sold to ST. Joe by Sioux
City, has proven his worth to the
Drummers. It has been one of the best
seasons the Indian has ever had Also
he has been particularly effective
against the Packers. Only 10 more days
and the Western league season of 1910
will be a thing of the past. 1t has
furnished its usual quota of joys and
disappointments, but withal it has been
a great race Soon we will be looking
forward to 1911. The eleventh hour
squirt Of the Rourkes is one of the
features of the closing days of the sea-
son. If PA Rourke could have had
that bunch going as it is six weeks ago,
some thinking. His pitchers are going
better now and they are getting good
support. Little is known of Breen and
Miller, the players drafted by Brooklyn
