BASEBALL DOPE AND GOSSIP.
Where They Play Tomorrow.
Pueblo at Topeka.
Denver at Lincoln
Sioux City at Ohama
| st. Joseph at Des Moines
The Kaws are home again today for
SIX games, three with Pueblo and three
with Lincoln, after which they leave
/ again Tor 10 games and return to finish
| the season.
The little mountain trip was about as
disastrous as it could we'll be. They
lost all the games but one and only
tied that Des Moines is now only 90
points away.
The four pitchers used by Rickert in
Denver got all that was coming to
them. Clark, Hickman, Buchanan and
Fugate all found the Bears satisfie5
under thirteen bingles.
The greatest play on the trip was
that of Rickert punching Jumps Shoe
maker near where he lived. OF all the
poor umpires assigned to this abused
circuit, Shoemaker is the very worst.
His travelling with Jack Haskell
doesn't seem to help him any.
What hitting the Kaws did in the
second game must have been very
timely. They got their four runs with
five hits while the Bruins got only four
with 13, two of them doubles.
The only Kaws showing up with the
willow were the two pitchers, Bu-
and Fugate one. Pitcher Kinse1la wal

Manning, the miniature second sack
er, continued his speciality of throwing
in the errors. He got both Of them in
the second contest and one Of the first

The quickness of the Gotch decision |
was general surprise. If Hacken- |
schmidt really had a. bad leg, it is no |
wonder the public was not informed !
but, from the attack Gotch made on it. |
publicity evidently had reached as far |
as the Champions camp. Those who |
thought they would have to sit through |
three or more hours of watching the !
big squeeZers tug over the mat were |
very agreeably disappointed.
Omaha World Herald: 1t is deli |
cate question why a man who is sore |
because his home town hasn't a de- |

a public benefactor? He's getting rich |

of profit from him If they were all |
home boys, playing to win for the

st. Joseph News-Press: Tex Jones
dropped a clean thrown ball from
Meinke in Saturdays game with Des
MOines. It was the first error he has
made on a clean-thrown ball since he
opened the season with the White
Sox, and it led to his telling a little
story after the game about the mitt
he is using, and for which he would
Mt take young farm When the
Sox opened in Chicago with the Tig-
ars, Tex left his rnitt on the first
base coaching line, as he has always
been in the habit of doing. When he
went out for the first inning he could
1T find the nnitt, and had to borrow
1ne from the Tiger first-sacker. Be
,ore the first half of the frame was

I'd stop of a wide ball pegged by

rom the crowd, and when the teams
changed places Hughie Jennings came
)ut from the Detroit bench and hand
ID him his mitt Jennings had seen
someone get it and thought it was a
good joke on Tex, but when he hand
ID the init over he said:
ANY youngster who make such
jtops as you do is sure entitled to his
,wn NIT I saw them get it, but that {
oarehanded catch enthused me, and I
'ecovered it for you"
Tex says the mitt has always been
ucky for him since that time.
