BASEBALL DOPE AND GOSSIP.


Brewer -shaughnessy bout would be held
as soon as the reorganization was effected
BASEBALL DOPE AND GOSSIP.
Where They Play Tomorrow.
Topeka at Sioux City.
Denver at st. Joseph.
Lincoln at Omaha
Pueblo at Des Moines.
Lotz got even for the former hard
luck he has had against the Kaws by
allowing them only three bingles. He
walked eight which is a great many
but overshadowed that with IL
strikeOuts.
In contrast to Lott, Hickman, the
vest pocket speed boy, walked only
one and struck out only two. They
took nine bingles from him, Gus VIII
liams getting three, two of which
were for two sacks.
The three little wallope for the
I<aws were by Emory and Ricl1ert,
who seem always to hit and by Chap
man who is shaking off the reputa-
ton of not being able to get the safe
ones.
Topeka had eight men left on the
sacks, the same number Lott walked.
Topeka got three singles. Lott struck
out IL Topeka batters- That just
about tells why Topeka did not score.
Neither were there any errors which
/ further explains why none came in
| Just like chess, but suppose one of
those hits had followed three walks
in a row, or suppose two hits had fol-
lowed, etc.
As long as they can keep on trim
ming the Hopefuls, Topeka is assured
OF it's place in the league. Still Des
Moines has gained seven points on
| the Kaws in the last week and now
there are just 80 points separating
them.
The poor old Sioux were another
tribe to get only three hits and those
were all granted by Ellis Of Little
Pittsburg. Needless to say, the Sioux
were shut out.
Now that the st. Joseph furry is
past it looks like the Western race
has settled to its final residue with
| Denver, Lincoln, Pueblo, St. Joseph
for the first division.
