their way pennantward. Meanwhile
it looks like new deal all around
for Wichita next year. More new
blood will be injected into the team
and the old, high salaried players are
being disposed of. Some of the old
Western League players will have to

goes through.
We're only 10 games behind those
Witches. Let's catch up. The Kaws
have a good bunch of games at home
now and why not have contest of
some kind going on in the village?
johnson is a better umpire since he
has been working with O'Toole. His
eyesight is the same of course, but
he has less to watch and he is more
firm, allowing less noise on the
bench and working to better advan-
tage in a number of ways Johnson,
of course, may go wrong at any time.
1t has been our experience that most
of them in this league do. But he is
working nicely now and O'Toole has
helped him. O'Toole has made some
rather startling close decisions against
the home team here, but should have
a little more time before being CEN
sured. If he treats the Kaws as well
on the road as he does the teams
that come here, well and good. We
don't like homer. But in the writer s
opinion no umpire will ever be a
homer here.
The scribe on the Lincoln News calls
attention to a practice the scribes on
the O'NeilI circuit have of making ex-
is a foolish one. Every team loses
and there is no excuse. In our own
case we can plead not guilty. We ran
out of excuses about June 15.
