Sioux City Journal: Sioux City took
the Topeka eripples down again
Wednesday by the score of 10 to 5. It
seems almost like a shame to jump
on the broken up club the way the
Packers are doing, but all the other
clubs in the league do it. so the Pack

ita follows Topeka at Mizzou park, and
the locals haven't any games to spare.
st. Joseph News-Press: Those Coo
