Ha, the Kaws have won another.
The last was on August %. Count 1t
yourself but it is something like Fl
days.
1t remained for Chat Brown, the
Lyons recruit, to get his control in
hand and break the Topeka losing
streak. They hit him often but not
in punches and with ten bingles got
only two runs. He is credited with
showing the Hopefuls some new stuff
in the slabmen's repertory
The Kaws did their first hitting in
several weeks and drove Owens and
Northrup off the hill but Plympton,
who was suspected of having little be-
side a name and a glove. held them
quite safely thereafter.
The ability of Topeka to take one
from the Hopefuls just about indicates
catch up in the race for seventh place.
The Kaws will take some more at
home and-but there's some class to
racing for seventh.
Omaha takes second honors in the
error column. Topeka broke the
worlds record with IL in one game
but the Hogs ran it hard yesterday
when they piled up ten large ones be-
hind Fentress and allowed Denver
eight runs with six hits.
Lincoln and Pueblo both lost, the
Sioux pounding Jackson and Routt
hard and the Drummers calling on
Lincoln for brace of four errors
Jimmy Cockman and Fred Apple
gate have been given the tinware by
Despair and Unglaub. Unglaub him
self has been playing third since pull
ing Cockman off, and it is suspected
Cockman was one of the fellows Bob
considered solid ivory. Both men
drew unconditional releases.
Joe Hendrix leaped into prominence
in the National league pennant race
yesterday when he beat the Chicago
Cubs three to two and kept them from
advancing on New York. The erSt-
while Salina and Cheyenne pitchers
achievement is all the more notable
when it is known that he held Chances
great fighting machine to one hit UP
in this inning. but had succeeded in
pushing two over previously without
the sem Iance of a hit. Pittsburg sent
in Gardner, another new man. for the
second game, but he was batted from
the box, Chicago winning.
ST. Joseph News-Press: Jack Flu
gate, who had kept the Drummers in
=,
was touched up to a fragile in that in
ming. The home boys simply muir
dered the pill for Jack. His shoots
looked to them just as ham and"
does to a tourist" and they pushed
over nine runs on eight hits and an
error. Everybody but Babb got a hit
in that frame and Kelly made two of
the hits and two Of the tallies- 1t was
a marathon affair with the hit-and
run sign hanging out in plain sight and
the Kaws absolutely helpless to pull it
down. Naturally everyone was thank
full when the session was over Jack
Haskell was aching to call the contest
long before he did, but the score would
have reverted back unless the inning
was played and he waited until Reil-
ly made the last out with fly to
King.
Sioux City Journal: After a delay
of month, Robert ("Dixie'') Mitchell,
who has had the question of his status
before J. H. Farrell, secretary of the
National Association of Baseball
leagues, received a telegram yesterday
informing him that he was the prop
erty of the Des Moines team.
Early in the season Mitchell was sus-
pended by President John r. Higgins
of the Des Moines club. Mitchell be-
lieved that this action was taken by
the Des Moines management to save
expenses He appealed his case to
Secretary Farrell, who informed him
that he would be granted a temporary
release. The player then signed up
with the Sioux City club. He was re-
leased three weeks ago because of the
difficulties involved in the question of
ownership.
Sioux City Journal: Peggy Moore.
who was secured through the draft
route by the Sioux City management
from the Portsmouth club in the Ohio
State league Saturday, will be one of
the largest slabbers who has worn a
Western league uniform when he re-
ports to the Packers next spring. In
addition to his size, which is feet
inches, Moore is one of the best
minor league pitchers in the country.
Last season he won twenty-three
games and lost eleven. The Ports
mouth club at that time won the pen
nant. With him were Dick Breen
and Walter Miller, who have been
with the Champs this year. Moore is
omething of a hitter also, having
made a batting average of $40 for the
season. Those who have seen him
work predict that he will set the
league afire next year.
Another recruit from the Nebraska
league appeared in the warmup at
park yesterday afternoon.
He was a catcher with the Seward club
and made a good showing. In prac-
