BASEBALL DOPE AND GOSSIP.
Where They Play Tomorrow
Topeka at Pueblo.
Lincoln at Denver.
Sioux City at Joseph.
Des Moines at Omaha.
The two runs made by the Kaws in
the second fight with the Grizzlies
were both home runs Edmiston got
one in the third and King clouted one
in the fourth. No one was on the
bases in either instance.
Emory seems to have picked up on
his hitting considerably since he
reached the mountains. He got two
safe ones again. He also had four put
outs and six assists without a misplay.
1t was another case of Buck
O'Brien, the Red Sox farmer. who is
making a record in the Western this
year. He allowed six bingles, the two
of them over the fence being the only
dangerous ones. And when the Irish
man pitches the game always hurries
along. They finished in an hour and
0 minutes.
Jack Fugate isn't much poison for
the Bruins. They put him out of it in
the last series here but Rickert evil
IDENTIFY thought he would get right and
let him remain yesterday Pepper
Clark will probably take the last game.
The attendance at Denver doesn't
seem to be so wonderful. The Thurs
day crowd is sent out as 900, which
is little better than a Topeka attend
ance.
Lindsay is out of the game in Den
yer on account of a badly sprained
rav, lyTA TcT, l. 10 ID
in to cover the initial corner and Ken
worthy. the pitching utility man, has
gone to left field.
Lincoln won at Pueblo using UP
three of Isbells pitchers and two OF
his catchers, but we're unable to get
closer to Denver because the Bruins
were winning from the Kaws.
st. Joseph Gazette: George Need
ham. who was with the Drummers for
awhile this spring and later with
Dryers clan for few weeks. has
been released by Waterbury. where he
has been playing since he left Des
| Moines. He couldn't hit. johnny
Baker, the st. Joseph boy who did
slab duty all last season for the Hol-
landers, has advertised for a berth
with any club for the remainder of the
season. He has been taking music
lessons all summer in st. Louis and
pitching independent ball there. ......
Billy Fox, who played second base for
the Drummers for a couple of months
last summer. is now an umpire in the
American association. Fox was with
/ Mobile for awhile this season, but was
released after Duckey Holmes had the
hardware applied to him. Fox takes
the place of Brick Owens in the A. \.
4 Owens was injured.
Lincoln News: Frank IsbelI. the
Pueblo boss, is opposed to a continu-
ton of the 1913 game four trip sched-
ule now in vogue in the Western. Ivy
favOrs going back to the 154 game ar
rangement whereby each CLUB makes
but three swings around the circle. It
can scarcely be denied that the four
trip affair has not come up to expec-
tations. In all probability, Denver is
the only city in the circuit that has
duplicated its attendance record OF a
year ago All of the leagues, how
in 1910, a condition doubtless due to
the financial tightness affecting every
section of the land With crops as
sured, however, conditions should i'm
prove during August and Septem Der
and the club owners in the Western
have a right to anticipate satisfactory
gate receipts to the end of the cam
paign. Surely the attendance at the
Lincoln yard on Friday and Saturday,
when the Antelopes and the Izzies
staged two doubleheaders. looked like
real prosperity.
Lincoln News: Shoemaker. Tip
O'Neill's simp umpire. is back on the
/ job, following a months 1ayoff. The
simp ipterjected his presence yester-
day at Joetown, pairing off with Jack
| Haskell.
A letter received by Hendrix: "St
Joseph, Mo, July 81, 1911.-Mr. Hen
dricks-Dear Sir: You had better look
out when you come to st. Joe, because
the fans have got it in for you any
way. It you are looking for trouble
you viii find plenty of it here, and you
had better stay under cover, because
the fans will not take any pity on you
or your team, so the best thing for you
/ to do IS to keep off the grounds, see
Yours truly, F. S. Polk, General Deliv-
4 cry. P S-You velI%-@DOg.
Don't You wish you had some gentle
men on your team ?"
In reply 70 which the Denver Times
says: IF 5he St Joseph fans and
Jack HOLLAND continue the attacks
upon Hendricks and his men. some
isteps should be taken to have the
