newspaper man.
Lincoln News: Barney McGrath,
however, should soon be on deck. Bar
ney, who has been at his home at
Carbonate, Kan., under suspension
for the last week, wired to President
Despair, asking how long his suspen-
sion would last. The Lincoln prexy
replied that it would continue until
Barney was willing to report and obey
orders. Barney's offense was in quit
ting the team at Wichita and going to
his home without permission. Inas-
much as he loves the game, it may be
presumed that Barney will be coming
on the first train.
Wichita Beacon: Up in Sioux City
1t was stated before the Soos hit
Wichita that there was danger of the
team letting up when it struck the
weaker teams and that Wichita might
trim 1t after 1t had beaten Denver.
Wichita, to date, has won three out
of four, but it wasn't because Towne's
men let down. It was because Wich-
every department. Had Wichita put
up the same article against Denver,
there would have been a different
story for Jack Hendricks to tell when
and Sioux City still would be healing
the list. Every game was a battle,
and no team in the league has had a
license to win from Wichita during
the past ten days There was no let
up; it was simply a case of two good
for the time being at least-carrying
off the long end of the score. Just be
fair, that is all.
st. Joseph Gazette: Not a base was
stolen on Boles Wednesday,. And the
receiver was there with the stick too.
He drove in one run with a single and
scored himself after getting a two
Dagger. Tim Flood gave way in the
fourth inning to Grand Island Ora
ham, who Joined the team here Mon
| day. Graham has been a member Of
the team long time but has net
| played much this year owing to an old
injury. Manager Jack Holland, of the
Drummers, returned from a scouting
| trip through Kansas and Oklahoma.
| Although he had not signed any men
besides Outfielder Goodrich and Catch
| er Coe, told of in last Sundays Ga
| zette. he said he had got a line on
some promising young PLAYERS for his
who thinks that ball players, that is,
| good ball players, can be bought right
| now they should get out and try 1t, =
| declared Manager Holland. Despite
the fact that the Western association IS
on it last legs the teams simply Wont
part with their good men. Fortunate
| ly their season closes August 16. SO /
| will get Coe and Goodrich then. l saw
| several good youngsters there and got
a line on some of them for next year.
Right now the clubs are holding out
for big league prices. 1 may possibly

| when we get home after our road trip,
which starts Thursday" Manager
Holland is enthusiastic over Coe. He
| declares that he is one Of the best re-
ceiyers he has seen this year. HE
certainly is a mighty sweet catcher,

Lincoln News: Jake Beckley was a
prime favorite with the Lincoln fans
way back in 1887, % years ago. He be-
| gan the season with Leavenworth, but
was purchased for $500 by the syndt-
cate of Lincoln men who were pack
ing baseball = in the old days. JACK
made his first appearance in Lincoln
uniform on June 9, 1887, In a game In
which the Lincolns made four hits,
one of them a two Dagger, and scored
three runs. He played bangup game
at first, having nine putouts and one
assist. Jake wondered If the fans OF
Lincoln would remember him. There
are scores of gray boards, bald heads
and old timers generally who have
coniured Jake's name for many years
while hundreds of the bugs OF today
| were the KIDS OF oi-lne lus WIZ
chased foul balls or sneaked into ths
bali yard by various tricks ant
schemes and then gazed on Jake as
sort of god. Jake Beckley is M
stranger in Lincoln. Unfortunately
however. we have no hall of fame, bu
if memory counts, then Jake's place II
our affections is secure.
Lincoln Star: Cooley has sold stal
!; after star, Kaufman. Harris. Boles
Thomson, and now Wright. But he's
got better team as it stands, except
in pitching, than he has put in ths
field up in the "Holy City" as the
Omaha World-Herald calls US, thi:
season. The Sox played with real pep
) per, streaked to first every time, play
| ed tight ball and were working and
, pulling every minute. We believe it,:
old "Uncle Jake" He's got enough
, fighting spirit to supply two teams
