Sioux City Is Hunting Crumbs
Of Comfort.

Where They Play Tomorrow.
Topeka at Lincoln.
Pueblo at Denver.
Omaha at Sioux City.
st. Joseph at Des Moines.
The Kaws after playing the second
double header in two days so that
they might reach Lincoln in time to
play today, got into a Burlington
Washout this side of Denver. The
Lincoln club which had finished up
with the Bruins also were on the
train. 1t is doubtful whether they
reach Lincoln in time to play. It was
this same Burlington road which ran
Denver and Omaha clubs into 4
wreck where many lives were lost
though the players escaped.
There is very little chance for Lin
coin in the pennant race now Their
misfortune of dropping four straight
TO Denver. just ahead. let them far
in the rear and today there are 50
points difference in the standing.
The Lincoln club and it's manager,
Bob Unglaub, were confident of over
taking the Bruins when they were
here last, but Denver everlastingly
walloped them in the mile high town.
There is some chance of Denver los
ing in their road tours. The Grizzlies
hit the road August II, and stay the
remainder of the month. In Septem-
Der they go again for IS games and
in these long grinds it is quite pos
sible that they will find some rough
sailing.
If the stories sent out concerning
the Des Moines club sale are trust
worthy. the Wanderers will resume
their home tomorrow and entertain
st. Joseph. Des Moines papers re-

a new ball yard where they had it

three blocks from the main drag and
the ball lot was in the rear Of an au-
ditorium.
Pitcher Houston of the Des Moines
club, who has had a consistent win
ming record this season got his
bumpings good and hard yesterday
The Packers drove him out of the lot
and piled up IT bingles on him and
Hersche.
That last Lincoln-D Denver battle in
the mountains saw four Antelope
pitchers trying to beat Barney
Schneider. Moreover, Manager I'm
glaub and two of his pitchers were
chased out of the lot by the umpires.
Wen hear more about that.
Pueblo Chieftain: Pitcher Jarni-
gan, IsbelPs only Southpaw, left yes
terday for Iowa, where he will pitch
Independent ball. Isbell stated yes
terday that the pitcher had not been
released but still belonged to the To-
Gals but that he had not been able
to get going and asked that Isben let
him pitch independent ball for awhile
until he could determine whether he
could get his curve ball back again.
IF he does, he will join the locals at
once and help them attempt to win
the pennant- Isbell has still a great
deal of faith in his ability
Sioux City Journal: On their return
from st. Joseph yesterday forenoon
the management and players Of the
Champs told of a decision from UNI
pire Shoemaker which cost them the
game. In the ninth inning stem came
home and was called out by the official
just as the ball rolled from Catcher
fSossetts hands at least five feet out
on the diamond. Protest was made
but to no avail 1t is said that the
spectators in the grandstard forget
their Partially in he rcatter so far
as to hiss Shoemaker. That this cost
the game is indicated by the fact that
the next man up after this decision
hit safely and would have scored an
other run. Larry Sutton, scout
FOR the Brooklyn Superbas, watched
the performance of George Clark from
the press box at Riverside yesterday
afternoon. While he lid not comment
