The popularity of East Lake park was evidenced in a startling manner last night when, despite the ugly mood of the ele- ments a large crowd saw the magnificent pyrotechnle display at the park. It didn't rain a drop at the lake, either, a pretty fair indication that his excellency, J. Pluvius, watches the destiny of the park with a spirit of charity
 On the level. though, East Lake is go- ing some this year. and last night 1t just went a little more than usual Wiggins' Daffy House, the very latest in the luna tic line is making more converts in a night than the ticket seller can keep &C., count of.

Higgins of the Des Moines baseball
club of the Western league, has admit
ted that the club was on the market
and that he had received at least three
offers. none of which were satisfac-

now in winning form and would make
a good showing from this time on. He
said that its finances were in good con-
dition and displayed paper evidence to
support his statement.
There is no deal pending for the
sale Of the club at this time,'' said
Higgins. IT have told President O'NeiIl
that I would sell the club If I received
an advantageous offer. I have received
three bona fide and several tentative
offers but have not seriously consider
ed any of them"

the value Of Des Moines as baseball
town as well as the other magnates.
None of them need be told.
The Western league isn't overrun
with cities the value OF Des Moines and
the league viii be the loser if the fran
chise is transferred from Des Moines.
Any time that Frank Isbell, 'Ducky''
Holmes or Jack Hendricks is ready to
buy controlling interest in the club.
you can bank on it that the controlling
board Of three will not consent to a
transfer Of the club unless other forces
are brought to bear besides the lack Of
attendance under present conditions.
The writer can easily answer the
question, why doesn't O'Neil1 come to

O'Neill knows the park is too far out,
he knows why 1t was removed from
down town. He knows the caliber OF
the Des Moines club. In fact he knows

Pueblo Chieftain: Topeka's infeld is
weak sister if yesterdays exhibition
is sample. Durbin's splendid pitching
made the Kansans look pretty good in
the morning game, but they did not
look so good in the afternoon. i.
Topeka had IA men left on bases in
the first game which shows just how
good jackson was when he had to be.
The only bad piece oe luck
occurred yesterday was an injury re-
ceived by Phil Koerner which will pro-
badly keep him out Of the game for a
wekk or ten days. 1t occurred during
practice and consisted of a Iacerated
finger and nail on his whip hand. Koer-
er's injury necessitated the appearance
Of IsbeI in the game. The old star
made good showing on the initial bag
and secured q couple of nice hits in
the second game, but the old scout
can't pickle them like the big man
from Walsenburg. At that he is not
in the best of condition and may beat
Koerner out of his job yet. The man
ager yesterday proved that he is still
enough of colt to steal second with
out half trying.
