Lincoln at Omaha.
Pueblo at St. Joseph.

The return of the clubs off the road
for a home series finds many changes
from when they left. The Soos lost
again yesterday, making it IL lost on
division simply because Topeka beat
st. Joseph. Denver had tFounced
Omaha four straight. double header
Wednesday, and the Hogs consequent
ly are showed below Topeka. Denver
has acquired a lead of nearly a hum
dred points and some one will have to
hurry after them or give up the chase.
There was great excitement on the
local lot Wednesday when Butch Kerns
abused Manager Moore and drew to-
gether a crowd of players with Umpire
Gardner in the center. Rickert was
just limbering up for his home run and
drove a long one out to the left field
foul line. Gardner called it foul, which
was right, and Moore ran in from the
coaching line to protest. Butch, under
the protection of mask and protector,
gave vent to his hatred of the Topeka
manager and the atmosphere became
SO superheated an explosion was
feared. Butch was incensed particular
ly because the fans had been roasting
him all during the series. He seemed
to want to pile the blame on Moore.
The squall passed without damage, and
Rickert came back to get his home run
and bring in the two ahead of him.
BY getting a single which scored two
when the bases were full Pepper Clark
Practically won his own game. He al
lowed only the one run to the Drum
mers, and that a home run which
might have been caught before it
bounced the fence.
Borton got that bounder over the
fence and two singles beside out of the
six hits which the Hollanders bagged
He was at bat four times.
Both Thomson and Hopke got three
bingles, Hopke in four times I'D and
Tommy in five trips. Frambes singled
and doubled and was hit in four times
up and Joe Rickert got a homer and a
double in three times up.
Crompton showed a flash of field
ing form when he sacked drive off
Hanifan's bat to right center. With
two on the bases and two gone he
caught one by Zwilling with such a
display of grace thatth fans suffered
a mild stroke of apdplexy in the fear he

work of Umpire George Clark. who it
was stated called the balls and strikes.
Frank Gardner was the man working
behind the plate that day and so the
two indicators are trying to figure out
which has the joke on the other.
Kerns dared some one or any one in
the grandstand to fight him after the
game but no one accepted the chaI-

was justified in his demonstration.

fervid oratory, or any of its accessor-

speaker appeared to be without any
great amount of self confidence. Yet
he was earnest and apparently sin.

he was pleading was catching, SO that
when he declared to the cigar makers
that it was absolutely essential to

local union, a ready assent was given
and an organization was perfected
then and there.
After the meeting was over hunted
up my new acquaintance to congratu'

his trip to South Bend. He received
what l had to say with becoming mod

made a confession to me.
