BASEBALL DOPE AND GOSSIP.


Where They Play Tomorrow.
Topeka at Omaha.
Denver at Sioux City.
| Lincoln at St. Joseph
Pueblo at Des Moines.
There they go-five in row.
Freeman evened up the beating the
Kaws gave him here and a little bit
more.
The hard hitting Kaws couldn't To-
cate the underhanded one more thar
twice Whitney pumped out triple
and Hafford a single for all the hitting
the Kaws could do.
Pepper Clark pitched a good enough
game to win with hitting behind him.
I He allowed eight, scattering them SO
that every member Of the Drummer
aggregation got one with the exception
of Butch Kerns. Butch was denied the
pleasure.
For a change and wonder the Kaws
got busy with the fielding yesterday
and were chalked with only one error
which was no more than the opponents
had. Moore fell for that one.
After ten years of continuous playing
and bench warming. always on the
Omahog pay roll, Johnnie Gonding is
slated for release by Pa Rourke. He
hasn't been doing much work this sea-
son on account of younger men who
can stick it better Rourke viii hold
him until he can get fastened onto an
other club.
Lincoln won from Des Moines, to 4.
yesterday, Thomas knocking two balls
over the fence for the Antelopes. The
Hopefuls continue to play close games
and will cause the leaders a. lot more
of trouble.
The Packers crowded onto Mr.. Ellis
from Pueblo for 10 hits in two innings
and took the game away from the third
tribe
Another club in the circuit hit no bet
J ter than the Kaws for the day and
that was Denver. The league leaders
are having an awful lot of worry on
this trip. Robinson, who joined tho
Omahogs here in Topeka and showed
goods but no control allowed the Griz-
lilies but a pair Of bingles.
st. Joseph Gazette: That old Topeka
| jinx, big as ever, was on the job at
! League park yesterday, but the Kaws
gave him rotten support and as re-
one of the most exciting battles Of the
year here. The KaWs played
like bunch of school kids in the first
! inning and the Drummers scored two
run lead. Kelly went out to Whitney.
Powell beat out an fnfield hit. He stole
second and when Hawkins heaved the
ball to center field he raced to third
Jones cracked out a dandy single, scor-
ing Powell Fugate threw the ball to
the grandstand in an effort to catch
Jones off first base and Tex went to
| second. ZWilling beat out an infield hit
I ~ xu1nn Whitney
made a bum heave, Jones scoring
Reilly walked but Gossett flew out and
Meinke forced Reilly.
Sioux City Tribune: There is a ru-
NOR going the rounds in Topeka that
Joe Crisp is to become manager of the
Kaws. He is a catcher, who failed to
report to the club. The deposing Of
Moore would be rank ingraUtude- He
has devoted his best efforts to give To-
peka a winning team and is entitled to
more consideration. Manager
Fred Moore had his usual tiff with
''Umps'' Shoemaker, but didn't get
wrathey enough to be fired
| Ne doubt Manager Moore's protests
were well founded in almost every in
stance. but few arbiters would have
stood for his talk Anxious Fan
We cannot say whether or not Shoe
maker is a graduate of correspond
ence school for umpires. Perhaps they
/ could tell you IN Les MONIES.
/ Towne and Fairweather tried to trade
Moore out Of Hopke, but Moore said
nothing doing. Hopke is a third base
man.
/ Des Moines News: The Hopefuls have
demonstrated in the series just finished
that they deserve the support of the
/ Des Moines fans. Coming off the road
with a record Of only nine games won
/ out Of 50 played, one of the worst sea-
sons, so far, ever passed through by a
Des Moines club, they turned in aud
