Read how Rickert hit the ball. In
six times to the plate, the manager OF
/ the poor old Kaws swatted six safe
hits, two of them for TWO sacks Nelth-
er Crutcher nor Chellette could head
him, and that's about the record of
hits for a single game this season.

Three runs in the eleventh won the
game and that is some longer than
the Kaws usually stick to their knit
/, ting.
Danny Dreamer did it by keeping
the Drummers off the sacks but an
enlivened hitting spell by the kaws
put the three runs over. Durbin got

but he hit a batter.
Poor old Lincoln. After launching
a pennant contender at great expense,
Don Despair saw his money making
games postponed and his big league
manager at war with his veteran play
ers and his percentage sinking to the
tune of his treasury and now ne IS

| While Lincoln has slipped to sixth
place, the Rourkes by a squirt have
i dashed out of the second division and
are fighting to remain with Sioux CITY,
who is also on rampage There is
still plenty of interest in this race at
Pueblo, st. Joseph, Omaha and Sioux
City.
Sioux City-Tribune: Tom Fairweath-
er is endeavoring to have the Topeka
lSioux City series scheduled in Topeka
next Saturday, Sunday and Monday,
transferred to Sioux City Under the
circumstances this would be q good
more for all concerned. Because OF
the great showing of the Champs, IN
terest has been revived, and the at
tendance would probably be better here
than in Topeka.
Lincoln News: This is Jack Haskell s

pire Frank Isbell, boss of the Pueblo
club and one of the leagues directors,
| has served notice that Fat Jack must
| 60 Izzy admits that Haskell can do a
| | grand Job of arbttrating whenever the
notion seizes him. but charges bluntly
that Jack has a habit of getting away
: with a raw one when it is apparent to
| a blind man that the fat jumps didn
} call it the way he saw it-in other
| S1a-i -iSfG hat often
} deliberately partial. Numerous Lincoln
fans are convinced that the Pueblo
mogul is singing the right dope II
J was plain as could be yesterday 10 the
fans in the b1eachers that Big Bill Nc
| Cormick was safe on his slide into
, third. In fact, Haskell first moUoned
that the runner was safe and then
. switched, calling Bill out. Two runs
were over at the time and nobody was
out With Bill on third, there was
every promise that the Antelopes would
at least tie the score. There is no oc-
! casion for stalling-everyb body witness
ing the play knew that McCormlck was
! not out, and Haskell was in the same
!, | boat It was Fat Jack-not the
Rourkes-who beat the Antelopes out
of yesterdays ball game The Western
league simply can't afford to permit
| continuation of that sort of ump1rlng
| during another season. The patrons OF
the game have a right to be assured
: that baseball is an honest sport ano
l decisions such as the one on McCor-
mick yesterday can have no other re-
suit than to besmirch the game.
! Bolivar Kaufman hoped into the
| iron man class yesterday by twirlins
two ball games for the Hollanders
. against the Isbells. Bolivar bagged the
opener to 3. but could only get away
with a to 2 tie in the final bout.
Des Moines has been so easy for th'
Grizzlies in the recent series In Denve
/. that the latter finally took to playing
horse. Lee Quillin switched in his bat
Q ting to the left side of the plate ant
actually hammered a liner to dee
| right which netted him home run.
