President Stahl Says Teams Are All
Going Good.

Lyons, Kan, July 16.-tThe season
is half over in the Kansas State base
ball league said President w. Stahi
here today, land the statistics show
many surprises but a very interesting
race
Larned, touted as a winner in the
early season, is in the cellar, but is
coming rapidly under the management
Of Scrappy McLear.
Lyons, last years pennant winners,
are hobbling around the five hundred
mark and look as if they would stay
there.
Hutchinson is leading comfortably,
but Mcpherson is a dangerous con-
tender and is liable to pull links
team out of first place at any time.
Wellington has had hard luck as
has Lyons, in being forced to change
managers. Both teams have had their
percentage cut on this account
Several youngsters show class and
are we'll worth looking over by class
"a" scouts A few of the following
are made not upon the averages, but
are based upon personal observation,
extending over a number of games in
each case.
Routt, Rosine, Maple. Donovan,
Sizemore, Hassler, Langley, Williams
and Fentress have shown the most
bursts of form among the pitchers.
Routt, Langley and Rosine give
the most promise of development, all
things considered.
Stillwell, Kneaves, Wall, Harriott,
Porter, Edminston and Horack are
the best looking youngsters on the
infield.
The league as a whole shows more
class in the outfield than in any other
department. Riggert, playing the
sungarden for Lyons, is the best ball
player in the league.
Others that will go up are Pitman,
Schoonover, Block, McLuckie, Bates,
Matney, Miller and Weisner.
All of the teams have been drawing
well except Arkansas City, which has
just sold its franchise.
The following are the leaders to
date with percentages:

Chicago, July 16.-If the baseball

'SOX BAR ERRORS,
Brace Up Again and Win From
Grizzlies, 4 to 2.
After First Session Harris I'M
mune Until Eighth.
EHMAN FOUND EASY.
Record Stands Three Strike
Outs and Five Passes.
Waldron Probably All But Saved
Game by Running Catch.

Topeka took the first of the series
from Denver. 4 to 2. in a well played
game The Cooleysox again braced up
on the home field and played errorless
ball. The real stumbling block for the
Mountaineers was Kid Harris on the
firing line.
Denver opened with a flourish Lloyd
pumped over Wooley's head to the cen
ter field fence for three bases. the
third ball pitched. waldron smashed
one to Harris. which careened to
Reilly fast enough to catch the run
ner. Then Lloyd scored on Cranston's
helder's choice, beating Reilly's throw
TO the plate. Dolan then struck out.
After the first inning, Harris was
Immune until the eighth. Pitching
snakes OF almost unheard of species
into the Grizzlies den. he held them
at his mercy. Eight men struck in
vain at his elusive balls. and he al
lowed only three walks in exchange.
Ehman, on the other hand. fell short
OF Manager Hendricks expectations
and was hit opportunity. His record
was three strike-outs and five passes.
At that the earned runs off him
might have served only to tie the
score. The Coo1eysox can thank Dolan
for winning. too. 1t all happened In
the fifth inning. Topeka had only one
safe f1it.' Abbott hit hot to Lindsay
and was safe Kerns drew a walk.
Harris struck out and Wooley sacri-
Heed. Walsh doubled. scoring both
Abbott and Kerns. Then Reilly walked
and Thomson hit to Dolan. In a
quick attempt to get Thomson, the
third sacker threw high to the bleach
ers and Walsh and Reilly chased home
with the winning runs.
Only once thereafter did the Griz-
lilies menace. In the eighth. Gilman
snarled dangerously with double
which quick fielding barely saved from
being a three Dagger. Bean had hit
ahead of him and stood at first. while
Cassidy and Weaver flew out. He
scored on the hit and the run getting
for the day was over.
A feature of the game was a long
running catch of Reilly's fly by Wal
dron He all but saved the game by
a great run for Walsh's double In
his lunge for the ball, 1t tagged his
glove. Nevertheless. he deserves no
error.
The new man Walsh proved salts
factory and all that Cooley thought of
him. He fields and hits and talks like
q magpie.
S. A. Abbott played his return en-
gagement in fine shape, hitting for the
day $50. The old scout always is on
the Job and most Of the time delivers
the goods. Cooley evidently thinks he
can fill the bill. for he has sent Lam
dreth back to his old field. Big Cy's
ankle is getting into shape again, but
slows his speed considerably.
Manager Hendricks and Owner Coo
ley have arranged to play a double
header Sunday. The first game will
be called at O'Clock.

the umpires all the power possible. 1t
would be an awful thing to give power
to umpires who are incompetent and
then allow them to cover up their
shortcoming by some arbitrary action
in ordering the manager who disputes
their errors to the club house. Power
vested in the umpire is all right but
the man must himself know what he is
doing before he is given authority to
discipline others.
