The recent rains of the past
week have greatly improved
local conditions and the prospect
is now good for an abundance of
forage crops and rough feed for
the winter. In some localities the
crops are excellent while in
others there is not much, but take
it as whole and Colorado people
can truly be thakful that their
crops are better than most places
in the west.

GRIFF HAS THIRD
RELIABLE PITCHER
Joe Enge Completes Climbers Trio of Winning Twers Who
Can Be Depended Upon to Deliver EHectiveB-cOrps
Is Enough to Garry Team to Top.
By SENATOR"

MY Poy Choe' came through again
right handily. standing the Brownies on
their heads for the second time in four
days With this youngster working as
he is now, Manager Griffith is equipped
with three twirIers capable of pitching
effectively every time they ascend the
rubber, Walter johnson. Joe Boehling
and Joe Engel With all things break
ing right, this corps is enough to swing
the team to the top. Three effective
pitcers working regularly Is enough
for any championship outfit.
Engel made three starts in five days
against the Brownies. Last Friday ne
got away to a bad beginning. allowing
six hits for four tallies in three frames.
But he showed on the following at
ternoon that he could come back and
come back strong. He twirled against
Earl Hamilton Saturday and let down
the foe with two bingles, one scratch,
winning to 0. Then came yesterdays s
victory and three hits for the enemy,
only one a real bingle.
When a kid pitcher can come through
in this manner. he is close TO being a
valuabl member of his team In his
last Ave appearances Engel has opposed
the st. Louis Browns. On the l!th ne
let them down with three hits in the
Mound City, winning l to 0. On the
fnal day In St Louis he threw away
his chances for winning by poor peg
to Mcbride when an easy double play
was in front of him. He gave way to
Tomasso Hughes that day.. But even
then the Brownies made only two hits
of the lad.
Here's a capitulation of EngeIs work
for his last five appearances:

.ENGEL STOPS THE
BROWNS IN FINAL
Scores CIean-Cut Victory, Al
lowing But Three Hits.
Score 2 to !.
By SENATOR.

MY Poy Chloe" Engel, one of Griff' s
irecrackers who has developed within
the last month in a giant cannon
cracker, stopped the st. Louis Brownies
in their tracks yesterday. allowing
them one real b!ngle and two near
ones. His to l victory was as clean
cut as a cameo, brilliant as a blue dia-
mond. It showed beyond hazard Of a
doubt that the youngster from Mt. st.
Mary's had come into his own as a
big league finger. 1t was all the more
meritorious in that II was his second
successive victory in four days.
Forced To the Limit.
Opposed to Engel was Walter Lew
erenz, one of the Brownies trio OF stel-
lar southpaws. Leverenz was good
forcing Engel to the limit. but he was
outpitched by the Grlffman in every
way The Climbers punctured his arm
That's how he lost.
Three hits punched in the opening
round gave the Climbers a lead, Noel
Ter rushing across when Milan whaled
single 20 right. The Brownies evened
the clash in the fourth when StovalI
scratched a single to the infield,
reached second on Laporte's tumble Of
Pratt's drive and scored on Williams
real bingle to right.
The Climbers showed over the winning
tally in the sixth, Gandil beating out
a hit to Lavan and going up on that
young mans lurid toss to the dugout,
a passed ball putting him on third and
LapOrte's out sending him over the
dish.
Here you are. boys, for MY Poy

Two lads who will come to the Climb
ers for trials. Tommy Long and Wal
loping Wallie" Smith, respectively out
fielder and third baseman, are hitting
for more than 300 in the Southern
League Long has figures Of .S16 and
Smith .312 in ninety games each and
stand eighth and ninth in the league
race for slugging honors. Long leads
the league in scoring runs having cross
ed the plate seventy-four times.
These records look pretty good" said
Manager Griffith today, but they mean
little in the big show. All minor league
records are forgotten when player
comes up for trial It's what he does
in fast company that decides his status,
not big figures in the bushes. However,
it's pleasant to know that these two lads
are doing well in Atlanta"
Norman Elberfeld, former third base
man here, is leading the Southern
leaguers at the bat with figures of .34e,
but the real leader is Harry Welchonce,
given a trial at Charlottesville last
spring. E1berfeld has played in only
sixty-two games, but Welchonce has
played in ninety-four Welchonce has
made more hits than any other player
in the circuit, 1877 up to last Thursday.

FATE PLAYS QUEER
TRICKS IN BASEBALL
"RebeF" Russell, White Sox
Star, Nearly Went Back to
the Minors.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, July 3O.-The
uncertainty of baseball has made heroSs
Of some and dubs Of others. The
caprices Of fate have made some man
ayers a success and others rank fall
ures. A hunch has often brought q
star, while we'll founded reports have
produced lemons. The ability to judge
ball players is but a gift and year after
year players, who later star. are passed
up for recruits who prove lemons.
Rebel Russell is one of the most
league. The effective work of the
southpaw has enabled the White Sox
to remain in first division with Ed
Walsh unable to pitch. But the wise
leader OF the White Sox was willing to
part with his star before the opening
of the Southern League season and the
Barons had an opportunity to land a
phenom Comisky was especially anx-
ious to place the youngsters with Bir-
mingham.
In March. when Chubby Molesworth
was searching for a twirler. the White
Sox offered the young southpaw.
that possibly Russell could stand the
pace in the Southern. for he had proved
a wonder in the Texas League in 1912.
The price was not an enormous one,
but the Barons hesitated.
The twirling roster was about COM
plete. Prough, Foxen, Hardgrove, and
Boyd were returning. while Thompson,
Sloan, Fittery. Lamline. and a few
other promising youngsters were re-
cruited for tryouts. With this situa-

Russell Thus the Barons lost a star.

GADDY STREET MAY

Veteran Realizes That He Is
Worth More Than the Maxi
mum Salary.

CHATTANOOGA, July S0-Chatta-
noogs fans are already beginning to
look over the prospects OF 1914 The
battle array having exploded all hopes
OF a pennant this season.
The talk Of the future was precipi-
tated by the report that emanated from
baseball headquarters to the effect that
Nike Giddo, who is farmed out to Troy,
may be drafted by the majors and lost
to the locals. Giddo, who was farmed
out TO make room for Hannah. much to
tne present sorrow Of fandom, is now
playing sensational ball and a number
of scouts are looking him over. II
seems certainty that he will be lost to
the Noogans, as under their contract
with Troy they cannot recall him until
the close of the season
The interest in GiddO is accentuated
by the belief that Street will not be a
Lookout next year. There is every pos
sibility that Gabby will be drafted or
sold outright to a major league club.
but II he Is not it is a certainly that
he will not play another season in a
league where the maximum salary is
but $500 per month.
Street is in as good condition as ever
in his life. and he realizes the fact
also that he is worth more than the
icSai ttuO Sdi! pay nlfn- street signed
with the locals this year purely as a
mater Of experiment to determine
whether or not he was really passe or
merely suffering from overwork and the
climate in the east
He suffered a tremendous cut with
philosophic equanimity for the purpose
OF securing the benefits which a season
beneath a hot sun would give him And
Gabby has been amply repaid. He is
now ten pounds lighter than he was

They stay in the game till the last

Hedges had brains, he would sit back

It is to be hoped that Tommy Con-
molly remains here for a while longer.
While he makes his mistakes now and
then, the general standard of his UNI
piring Is high. This year the Climbers
have seen little of Billy Evans, the best
official in the business. but Tommy
