BASEBALL DOPE AND GOSSIP.
Where They Play Tomorrow.
Topeka at Pueblo.
Lincoln at Denver.
Omaha at Sioux City.
Des Moines at St. Joseph
The Kaw boys left Wednesday night
for an invasion of the Rocky noun
tain district. First they stop at Pueblo
and then go to Denver. At Denver
| they play three games in two days,
playing a double header September T.
Labor day is said to be a big affair in
the Colorado capital and the date
seems to be about all the cream To-
peka got out of the entire schedule.
After the five days away, the Kaws
return again September 5 for a six
/ day stop.
It is Fugate's turn in the box today
against Izzy's bunch. Now that King
| is back in the game and Manning get
ting lined out at second, the team
ought to put up a better fight.
The recall Of Brown and Dali from
Saginaw seems to have meant the de-
mise of Red Donovan as Kaw.
Brown has not yet been sent in, but
may have a chance this trip.
The Sporting News notes for the
Western league have Joe Kneaves of
Omaha released to the Rock Island
club in the Three-I league, but he still
appears in the Omaha lineup.
Marty O'TooIe beat Boston, allowing
them four hits. 'He ought to beat
'em,' said Mert Whitney; they're a
minor league team. Denver could whip
them every day."
Des Moines lost and backed away
from the Kaws a little. All local fans
have left to do is to consider the
Hopefuls.
| But even if Marty did get away to
the good. Look what old man Young
did. It was a day for the new and
| the old. After O'Toole had taken the
Doves measure, Cy turned around and
shut out the Pirates
The Sioux got to going again with
their war clubs and trimmed st. Jo-
seph right merrily. They totaled 16
bingles and used them for IL runs,
while Mitchell. formerly of Des
Moines, held the Drummers safe.
Sioux City Tribune: Shorty Fitz-
gerald, who left the Champs Saturday,
played with the New York Americans
yesterday. He made one hit
The Rourkes will be here Thursday
comes Des Moines for three games,
two being scheduled for Labor day.
The first game will be played In the
morning Both games will be staged
at Mizzou park. Otto Vogel has
been sold by the Rock Island club to
the Tacor.a club of the Northwestern
| league The purchase price was $1,000.
. Everybody will be glad to see
Eddie Gagnier of Lincoln get a tryout
in the big show. He has been bought
| by Washington. Last season Comiskey
of the White Sox purchased him, but
never gave him a chance, as he had
Roy Corhan.

Pueblo Chieftain: From a financial
standpoint the recent trip of the IN
dians in the east was not a success. ST.
Joseph was the only city visited where
the attendance was good, and at Des
Moines and Omaha the attendance how
cred close around the guarantee marx.
At st. Joseph on Sunday the Indians
QTSW a CIOWO OI OOOO WllA6 &c
crowds were also present on Friday
and Saturday. ST. Joseph is drawing
better now than any city in the circuit
The fans there are also the rowdiest
in the circuit, resorting to throwing
stones at visiting players while they
are taking chances in a close game.
Pueblo would have won Sundays game.
had not the crowd raced over the field
and prevented Danny Claire from taxi
ing what would ordinarily have been
an easy chance.
The fans in Omaha are said to be
the worst knockers in the league this
season and as the team there is piling
up from five to ten errors a day, the
result can be plainly seen.
st. Joseph News-Press: 1t is gener
ally believed around the Western
league circuit that Bob UnglSub's first
season as manager of the Lincoln ante
lopes is going to be his only one. The
Washington veteran has not made
a bad showing as leader of the 'Lopes
from all outward appearances, but it
has leaked out that the inside work
