Where They Play Tomorrow.
Topeka at Wichita.
Lincoln at Sioux City.
Omaha at Des Moines.
st. Joseph at Denver
Sir Richard disappointed the ex-
pectants by not going into the game
yesterday. But Rasty Wright some
pitcher whom he sent to first got away
with 1t without an error. Cooley
promises to get in today.
The second division teams are in a
mad race for players, So far Jack Hol-
land leads with Des Moines, Omaha
and Topeka hiking close behind. OF
course somebody has to be in last place
but no club will stand for it with any
recourse open. New players and re-
organization is the cry. Higgins has
taken a few days eff and Cooley has
taken up the pace. But one of his OBJ
jects. Suter Sullivan of Louisville, has
Just been taken on by Omaha. Besides
Sullivan. who is an outfielder, Rourke
also got William Morarity. an infielder,
from the Louisville club and supposed
ly has strengthened materially.
Jack Holland still has hopes of get
ting Eddie Hahn, White Sox outfelder.
President O'Neil and Comiskey are
both said to be trying to persuade
Hahn to try the Joe town but he rath-
er inclines toward the management of
a city league club in Chicago.
It is now said that Pitcher Leo Sage
was not released by Des Moines but
simply took French leave. Sage was
formerly a railroad conductor and the
theory may be that he has felt the call
O. the rails and the ham and" counter.
Those proud Grizzlies whom nobody

Ehman were not the best in the league
must have been sorely Inundated on
their return to mountain air to have
both Of them beaten from the box and
lose the opener to no others than the
lowly Drummers.
oh. OUGHT See what the Witches did
to Bolivar. Can you imagine anything
like it? Four home runs, two of them
in one inning. And three three baggers
beside a choice assortment of singles
How could they be so mean to our good
old Bolivar. And Kaufman has had
their goat all season, too Now they
Egyptian will have to work up his
hoodoo all over again.
Old Man Fox, whom Holland took oft

time Dick Cooley was thinking of him

extremely kiddish over at Joe town.
He is quite the town topic both at St.
Joe and at Omaha joy to the first,
pang to the latter. Fox is running
bases like a colt and fielding like a hay
'em all. He hits all the
time, his last noteworthy stunt being
the crimp he put in the Grizzlies with
a homer on the final day,
An original home run by the Lincoln
News: Wilkie Clark accomplished the
rare feat yesterday of scoring a home
run on base on balls. Working
Pitcher Rhoades for a free pass, the
Lincoln backstopper cut loose on the
first ball on a steal of second. Cad
man, the Omaha catcher. heaved far
over second and Wilkie rode all the
way to the rubber. 1t was the fourth
and final run OF the tenth inning, and
Omaha knockers nearly smashed their
anvils.
St. Joseph Gazette: What would
happen in Sioux City if a nine inning
game was played there in which but
five or six hits were made by each
team, such as often occurs here? This
believes the spectators and
sporting writers would think the end
of the world was getting near. There
is never game played in the Iowa
CITY when less than ten or eleven hits
are made by each team. Just to Illus
