cause of an injured ankle. This is not
expected to keep him out of the game
long.
The management can not find
Wiedensaul, the second sacker with

fered him a job and he accepted terms.

What the Lincoln News says of
Chapman: Chapman, the Topeka re-
chuit, who yesterday hauled down
drives by Manager Bob and Big Bill
Mccormick and robbed our athletes of
pair of three-ply swats, halls from
Concordia in the Northern Kansas
league. His regular position is behind
the bat, but few more sensational out
field stunts than his contributions Of
yesterday have been witnessed this
year at the Lincoln park.
The Topeka club is loud in its de-
nunciation of the treatment accorded
them by Umpire George Clark and
Chief Jack Haskell on the road Clark
is the one who refused the one more
ball in Denver. The report is that he
admitted he had not been to Denver
for year because they had all but
mobbed him at his last visit Maybe
he was taking no chances. Rickert
says Haskell threw him out of the
grounds at Pueblo for merely asking
"a fvs nj rzrIafT Il T1T
threatening to choke the jumps. do
We get nothing out of this?" Rickert
asked after putrid decision. Get
out O. the grounds and see whether
you do or not" was Haskell's civilized
rejoinef.
Now 1t becomes known that Bar
ney McGrath was sold by Lincoln be-
cause Of his temperament-nothi
more. Says the Lincoln News:
Meanwhile, the Kaws are asking
President Despair to let them have
one or two of his surplus of pitch
ers The local magnate is willing to
help the Kaws, who are in dire need
of aid, and it should occasion no sur
prise in case an Antelope twir1er
switches clubs and becomes a Kaw
but there can be nothing doing unless
! the Topeka management cuts out the
nonsense of kicking on the McGrath
deal. The Lincoln club is not at fault
4 ed to deliver the goods for Topeka.
The only reason for this sale was that
he was not easily amenable to club
discipline, statement which is no re-
Election whatever on Barney's habits,
but pertains to matters entirely tenn
perarnental. The Kaws might we'll
hold fast to McGrath. The Carbon
dale athlete may yet get to going and
repeat the sensational pitching that
featured his toll while he was wearing
a Lincoln uniform.
Fred Beck, the utility outfleIder of the
Cincinnati club, will wear a Phi1adei-
phia National League uniform, as the
result Of a deal just closed. Outfielder
Wilson, recently purchased from Phil
adelphia by Calgary and Pitcher Hum
phreys will go to Cincinnati in exchange
for Beck.
''Speck" Hardness, pitcher, has been
released by the Cleveland baseball club
to the Portland, Ore, club from which
he was obtained.
The FL Dorado baseball team in the
Kansas State league has blown up.
The association is broke and is unable
to raise enough money to keep the
team going, so the business manager
received orders this morning to turn
the team over to President Stahl at
Hutchinson. The dry season here has
| caused the LTOuDl6 as people are dIEalC
| to invest any money. The other towns
/ in the league have had poor support
at the games. This lost money for us
as we only received the forfeit aaG
that wasn't enough to pay the expenses
| while away. The franchise goes to tbs
league and they Will probably sell 1t tx
some other town which wants to entel
the ball world.
