ing of four hits by the Grizzlies out
fthe six they secured during the game.
There is but one conclusion. The club
is still fighting and win be coming
strong before the season is half over
Or course there is little hope Of doing
better than getting out of the second
division but If they continue to fight
as they have in the past week, they
deserve the support Of the fans. The
club began to show that they were
coming on, before they returned from
the last road trip, by defeating To
peka two out of three and battling the
Links Is innings for a victory. The
pitchers are showing form and the team
is travelling along at a hard hitting
pace, there is still over three months
and g. half to play yet this season, time
enough to rip big holes in the averages
Of every club in the league. Give them
a little support and a chance to get
out of the mire again.
Lincoln Star: Big Bill Mccormick
was back in the game Sunday against
Omaha, with Unglaub on second and
DundOn on third. Gussie was there
with two hits. likewise Big Bill came
across with two safe blows. Mccormick
did not get single assist or putou.
while Cole and Cobb got only one
apiece. Most of the chances were to
the infield, Gagnier, Unglaub and Dun
don all having busy days of it.
Someone has delved into the dope
and figured that June is the fate
full day for making home runs with
the bases full. Frank Schultz did it
same date Mike O'Neill did it for the
ST. Louis Cardinals and in 1909, same
date, Hans Wagner did it for the Pr
rates. Just happens So
Omaha Bee: Umpire Clark also had
an awfully off day, proving conclu--
Sively his fallibility. At least three of
Denver's runs were made by his mis-
takes. In the second he gave Quillin
base on balls after Durbin had him
struck out A decision at the plate in
this inning would have made the sec
ond out, but Clark gave it to Denver.
In the fourth he gave Denver another
run by poor decision at first and in
the fifth he completed Arbogast's
poor work by another bad decision at
first which let CULLEN score. On top
of this Clark didn't watch the play
in the first when Omaha made it's
first two runs and refused to allow
the second to count, although Will
liams was across the plate before
Schoonover was out. If Clark had
been watching both ends of this play
he would not have made the blunder.
In his three bad base decisions he
made his decision before the play.
st. Joseph News-Press: Why 1t is
that the Drummers play their poor
est game when they hook up with the
Kaws is a knotty problem. but that
they do is settled fact. They have
played loose ball against other clubs,
! occasionally, but as a rule they put
up a snappy, heady article against ev-
cry team in the league except Topeka.
They battled the Kansans to a stand
still yesterday. True enough. But
they were not playing up to form by
a long shot. However, that victory
ought to brace them up for the re-
naming two games.
incidentally. Jack Fugate twirled a
nice game. The Kaw portsider has
one of the most elusive curve balls in
the league and he knows how to con-
troll it. He is going good this year.
Manager Fred Moore played short
yesterday. He isn't looking like him
self and doesn't feel like a colt, but
he will be forced to get in the game
for a time at least. Shortstop Hopke,
who was sold to the Utica club of the
New York State league, was in the
grandstand. He was supposed to leave
for the east late in the afternoon. Just
why Topeka released Hople is not
known for a certainty. He has been
playing good ball for Moore and, in
