Des Aoines Tribune: Apathy con
erning the final disposition of the D.
Ioines team is rampant. For Il time,
GLOWING the leaving of the team, t.
arge number of the old time fans We're
interested in the possible change OF
ownership of the team. Since it be-
came apparent that the desire to sell the
team was not great, there has been a
general falling off in interest, and for
the last week there has been little &C.
| casion to renew this.
In the meantime the team, with Hig-
gins remaining in Omaha, has been
playing the best ball of the year, their
being the best form they have dis
| played this year. The Pueblo series
also showed Owens as a winning pitch
| er, and it is hoped that Andy viii be
able to keep up this pace for the rest
| of the year.
NIattick has slunped in his hitting,
losing ten points in the course of the
week. This may in part be attributed
to a suspicion on his part that he is TO
| be sold to the Chicago White SOx and
n diminuition on his part of en-
thusiasm for getting out of the league
Mattick has a fair amount OF certainty
! that as long as he is owned in part or
| in whole by Comisl1ey he will never get
| a fair trial in the majors and If it Is
/ true that he is slated for the Chicago
|
personal one, for him to keep up his
hitting this year.
| Nothing is known concerning the
place the team will play after finishing
! the series at Denver beginning today
/ The team is scheduled to have an off
day and then is scheduled to meet
/ Omaha here on Friday Rumors have
| been plentiful that the team will return
| to Des Moines because of the opposl-
| ton of certain interests in Denver TO
-
Higgins has given out nothing concern
ing the future of the team, but has
made very positive statements that the
team would not return to Des Moines
while he was at their head
| Word was received in Des Molnes
lthis morning that no game would be
pIaved in Denver today, the game
| scheduled for this date having been
played earlier in the year. This VIII
give the team a layoff of day both
I before and following the Denver series.
A great post season baseball series
for the minor league championship of

Los Angeles. He declares his plans are
well under way and confidently expects
them to be adopted by the authorities

| 1T will be the best thing imaginable
for baseball. There is everything in
favor of such scheme, and nothing
against it, and believe it viii do more

thing"
