impressed with the belief that the sal
walton of the club lies in Lee Quillan,
formerly of Sioux City, whom he has
just procured and who will report in
Lincoln. Yohe couldn't show the class
required and Connie Nee has been
designated a utility man instead OF
third baseman.
In view of the fact that most dope
sters are picking Denver and Lincoln
to fight it out for the Westerns bunt-
ing, the opening between these two
clubs is attracting a great deal OF at
tention.
Jack Hendrix announced his lineup
for Friday while here as follows: Lind
sey, first; Lloyd, second; Coffee, short;
Quillon, third; Cassidy, right field;
sella, pitch and McMurray, catch.
The Denver infield seems now to be
all claimed for it and looks like a
| mighty fast one. Ray Scanlon will as
sist McMurray behind the bat and the
pair are fast men.
Ben Harris, last season sold to Nc
| Gill by Cooley, is engaged in pulling
down his weight a little. He is big
| as a house and admits he can spare
| some eight or ten pounds. Harris
seems to be the one best sold by Cooley
last year. He has made good with
Denver and is a good man on a club.
| Ehmah OlmStead, Kinsella and Hag-
| erman complete the Grizzly firing
| squad. That isn't an extended line but
| they are last seasons tried successes
| and that's a lot in the face OF new
year.
Owner James C. McGill, of Denver.
| and President Woodward of the Topeka
| club, had a heart to heart conference
yesterday concerning lot OF inside
ern League. The trouble noised yes
| terday between Tip O'Nein and the
| Western Union was one of the 1ncen-
| tives. The telegraph managers nave
been ordered to refuse to install m
| struments in the circuit parks and the
| club owners have been ordered by
| Prexy O'Nein to accept no terms with
| the company. That makes 1t t1ne Tor
| the newspapers which expected TO nam
| die a running account of the games.
| Some settlement of differences may pe
| forced before tonight.
| Just to show how desperate he is
| to nail an outf1elder to take the place
| Of Kenworthy, Manager Jack Hendrix,
| of the Denver Grizzlies, left Topeka last
night for Chicago to pray with Con1s-
key and Murphy for player. He will
| be in Lincoln Friday morning to lineup
| his team for the opener.
! Washburn and Kansas are engaged
| in a baseball battle on the college
| grounds this afternoon. These old riv-

! draw a good crowd. The dope is heavy
| on Kansas.

| Des Moines News: Dwyer has picked
his lineup for the opening series and
| will start them this afternoon unless
the weather is too cold to take chance
| on some Of the arms. Owens OF Hue

Cores, the Milwaukee infielder, seems
! to have made an early impression on
Dwyer by his speedy work at third and
| that mighty whip, and will get the call
at third over F1annery. Dwyer will
cover first, Kahl at second and Coli
gan on short Pete Curtis and Mat
tick will play the left and center gar
| dens, and it is a tossup between De-
| Camp and Hemphill for the right gar
den. DeCamps work in the field has
been fine, but the lack of a batting eye
may give Hemphill first choice.

protector which is an imposing edifice
of rattan and plush. 1t has been Gus
