Where They Play Tomorrow.
Pueblo at Topeka.
Denver at Lincoln.
Omaha at st. Joseph.
Des Moines at Sioux City.
The returning Kaws bring home
three victories and nine defeats.
The Pueb1os are a hard bunch to
try the new lineup against. The three
games beginning today aTe all for this
visit home.
The Kaws will look quite a little
different, at least in appearance. There
will be Kreps instead of BreitenSteln
at second Moore instead of Hopke at
short, King instead of Thomson in
center. In the pitching staff there are
Durbin and McQuillen instead Of Cook
Kreps is getting his errors along
with the rest of them, but seems to be
fighting the game all the way. Moore
handled nine chances with only one
bobble yesterday. The fans are anX-
ious to see the new infield play. for
one of the needed changes was there.
The Hopefuls stole nine bases yes
terday on Mr.. Frambes and that is go
ing around the sacks at a fearful rate.
Perhaps a good deal of it was the fault
of the three pitchers used. Bachant
of Des Moines, whom Manager Rickert
is dickering for, has looked good on
every occasion in Topeka He is de-
pendable both behind the bat and
with the bat.
Thomason will be missed on the
| lineup because he is SO well known
here. He is a nifty little ball player
and is plugging the ball in great style
this season, but he doesn't like the

the climax and while he has since been
playing good ball. he most likely was
glad to get away. Maybe Rourke will
raise his pay. Rickert probably used
good judgment in letting him go
King, the Rourke centerf1elder for
whom Tommy was traded, has played
a good game. upon every visit of the
| Omaha club here. His record last sea-
/ son and also this one is well up among
the outfielders and if he is pleased
with the change, as it is understood
he is, he will be a valuable man for
the Kaws. Harmony is the great Sc
cret of pulling out the games and any
thing that will get the club to pulling
together ought to be an improvement
Joe Cook, who was traded for BLAZING
Durbin in connection with the Thorn
| ason-King deal, involves no effort al
harmony so far as known, but was
simply a change which may help two
pitchers who were practically worth
less to their clubs. Neither of the
two has been able to deliver. Botf
have bumped into their bad innings
before they finished their games anc
have lost the greater number of those
pitched.
The Western Unions baseball bull
1etin service was badly in error agar
yesterday evening. The score giveI
by innings showed Topeka ahead Of
Des Moines, 8 to z, up to the ninth in
ming. In the first inning it was re
ported Des Moines made one run
when eleven were scored. One ruI
was also reported for Topeka in thu
second inning, when mono was scored
This is the third or fourth time this
season the Western Union has 'sballed'
up the score, and such service is Ger
tainly not to the credit of grea
telegraph company.
Pa Rour1e has purchased Pitche
DeMott from Cleveland. The new
twirler is expected to join the Oma
hogs at st. Joseph today.
Cyrus Landreth, the husky out
fielder, who has allowed himself t.
peeve out of the Western league, tn
American association, and now tn
IeXaS league, IS ABOUT TO take d SUD
ton with Abbott at Lyons in tn
Kansas state. And, nevermore, say
Landreth, will he jump a club. TIL
, big fellow, who certainly is an adep
I at laying the straight grained asl
pole against the horsehide, is goin
into the game again to make good an
stay with it. In fact, he is going t
be a prince of a fellow to get alon
with, he says. There is no doub
that he can if he cares to. Heretofore
