You can't tell about Wichita. They
are likely to cause Jack Hendricks a
lot of trouble there. Jack, you will
remember. consigned them to the berth
occupied by the Kaws last spring And

But most of the time at home Hend-
ricks will be fighting the teams that
are lighting him. St. Joseph. Omaha.
Lincoln and Sioux City. Every one of
these games won by the Bears means
one lost by the opposing team. 1t
looks like a mighty good gamble for
Denver. OF course the dope is often
upset and wouldn't it be dollars for
the Kaw management should it take
the last game in the league to de-

With the writer personally it was the

make us feel as bad although it re-
