Doweh- While one or two decisions
may have been Off color, there was not
the glaring showing of incompetency
that distinguished the work of their
predecessors. Things broke right
with Stem when he came to bat yes
terday. He was walked three times
and twice he hit safely.

Sioux City Tribune: Pueblo is MAX

road teams in the league.
Sporting News: 1t required some
thing like % straight wins to unto that
hard knot of the Texas league pennant
race and the remarkable squirt made by
Austin, which probably assures 1t the
flag, is fitting climax to one OF the
most sensational struggles Cor cham
pionship ever staged in baseball. AUS
tins list of stright wins is not a record
and it so happens that the Texas
league is the organization 20 have
made that record, the COrsicana team
in 1902 having won 2S games without
miss.
Here it is-from the ST. Joseph Ga
zette: The youthful Mckee, who is
umpiring here, seems to be carrying a
chip on his shoulder for the DFummers.
The Grizzlies, however, apparently,
have him on their staff. CULLEN yes
terday, when a bad strike was called
on his. called Mckee every neme he
could lay his tongue to and Showed
up the jumps by tossing his bat in the
air walking away from the plate. Nc
kee said never a word to CULLEN.
When Jones said just one word to him
over a more rotten deal thar CULLEN
got, the jumps flared up and called
Jones Names. Tex had even more 10
contend with than anyone else, as Nc
kee made the crack at Sioux City
when the Drummers were there, that
he would call everything that came
over on Jones a strike. He did, too.
and Tex had to hit at bad ones. When
the Drummers were home the last
time with Mckee here, the kid showed
his authority by chasing Borton just
because the first baseman tossed his
glove into the air. CULLEN did even
more than that and Mckee didn't say
word to him. Fine umpiring, that.
Denver Times: James c. McGnI,
president of the Denver Baseball club,
left Denver for st. Joseph to attend
the series of three games. The bitter
feeling which exists between the Drum
mers and Grizzlies inspired the trip. He
does not anticipate and trouble, but he
wants to be on the ground in case any
| difficulty arises The Drummers have
given Denver the hardest battle of any
team in the league this year and Nc
| Gill realizes that the series is a crucial
| one. Victory in q majority of the
games viii put Denver ON easy street
and will practically eliminate st. Joe
as a pennant contender. President Nc
| Gill may not return to Denver for
week or two. He is planning to so to
Chicago immediately after the st. Joe
| series to close several deals fo~ new
| players and endeavor to clear up If
possible the tangle which involves the
transfer of Chick Mattick from Des
MOineS to Denver.
