The Kaws have not scored since they
! left home. In the four games they
| have failed to get a man over while
| Lincoln scored IA runs. 1t was to 0,
to 0, i to 0, and to o. Not a run
away in any game and the Kaws had
| a chance at each, provided, of course,
that they could have hit the ball.
But Jack Holland, who is still in the
race for second place, has begun pro-
| ceedings to have the second game of
the double header at Lincoln Tuesday
| declared Illegal. The game was a
postponed one at Topeka and accord
lngly could not be played off anywhere
but at Topeka Lincoln had played
their last booking here but did not
want to lose the easy percentage.
The Lopes wanted another double
header Wednesday to play off the other
game lost here when the Sunday rain
stopped a double bill, but Manager
Rickert could not see any advantage to
his club and decided not to play more
than the regularly scheduled game.
Lincoln News: We appreciate the
visit of the Topeka Kaws, who have
yet to win game this year at the
local yard. In fact, the KawS and the
Des Moines Prodigals have been prime
factors in the achievement of the
Antelopes in sticking in the first di-
vision since the inception of the cam
paign. Des Moines has won only two
games in Lincoln, while the Antelopes
have been victorious in every contest
in Des Moines. In the 20 games to date
between the Antelopes and the Kaws,
Lincoln has grabbed off 49,
Sioux City Journal: Anent guaran-
tees, if the Western league nagnate5
do nothing else at their next meeting
they should raise the guarantee in the
Western league. At present it is $40
in all cities except Denver and Pueblo;
where $50 is the limit. In our opinion,
it should be $50 for the eastern towns
in the circuit and 800 for Denver and
Pueblo. At present it makes little diff
ference what the guarantee is in Colo
RADIO, but the time may come when
visiting clubs may find it necessary to
take the guarantee out there.
The present series between Denver
and Pueblo and the one preceding have
furnished the western fans some of the
best baseball Of the season. Isbells
team seems to be about the only club
in the lea que that can give the Bears a
decent battle. Isbell has offered his
men a bonus of $500 if they finish sec
ond, and it looks like the money is
theirs.
Lincoln News: Manager Bob's hit
ting is invaluable to the Lincoln ag-
gregation. Yesterday he larruped
single and double starting the first
rally and adding the finishing touches
to the other by clipping off his two
sacker. In fact, BOb's big mistake this
year was that he took himself out of
the pastime to manage the club from
the scoacher's position on the bench
At the third corner, Bob is getting
away with it nicely, handling numer-
Gus hard chances and playing without
an error during the past week With
Bob in the ball game, the Antelopes
are 20 per cent stronger.
Pueblo Star-Journal: We want to
repeat what we had to say yesterday
the work of Hendricks and
his men during the past series. Yes
terday we stated that the Grizzlies
played the game at all times, attended |
strictly to business and left the issue
between Haskell and the locals strict
ly to the parties interested. In spite
of what the Denver scribes would have
their readers believe, we never once
questioned the department of the Griz-
lilies, on or off the field, while in this
city, and only gladly give them credit
for playing a high grade of ball. We
had the satisfaction of outplaying
them decisively in two of the con-
tests in which we won a victory and |
of outpitching them in all three games.
Yesterday, for the fourth time, a mem !
Der of the local pitching staff had the |
better of that once invincible staff of |
pitchers that has carried Denver to the /
pennant for 1911. Faber pitched rings |
around Kinsella in the game Friday, (
and Ellis repeated the stunt Saturday /
against Harris Sunday the fans wit I
messed one Of the greatest pitching /
duels of the year. and while Hank /
Olmstead pitched a magnificent game, |
the honors really belonged to Perry, /
