The telegraph announces that Sioux
City may give up the baseball club
and franchise of the Western League.
1t has been an admitted fact that the
Sioux City attendance was less than
any other club on the circuit this sea-
son, and with the loss of the property
by fire, it is presumed that the own
erS of the club hesitate to put up the
money TO replace the burned buildings
with flreproof structures. The people
of Sioux City have not the blood in
their veins which will induce them to
patronize a losing team as have the
fans of the two Kansas towns, who
have supported losing teams and
knowing they were doing it at the very
beginning of one season after another.
Some other town in Iowa may take up
the burden. Some of these towns have
supported clubs in the Three-Eye
League of other circuits and may de-
liver the goods. The Sioux City BUSH
ness men may get together and pre-
vent the loss of this valuable adver-
Using, and if they do, there will be a
chance to put stronger club in the
race next season.
Dale Gear closed a deal Saturday
afternoon for the purchase of Pitcher
Paul Brown, of the Sioux City club.
Brown was born and raised in Topeka
but moved to Minneapolis, Mimi, a few
yeas ago. Brown started the season
well but Ducky Holmes overworked
him and he got sore arm. He has
been out of the game recently and it
is believed that he Will return to his
usual form, and if he does. he viii be
just about as good as there is on the
circuit. He will report at Omaha when
the KawS arrive there.
Arthur Spencer Abbott and Fred
Moore umpired the games during the
absence of JACK O'Toole who was ta-
ken sick in st. Joseph Friday. O'Toole
IS suffering with an attack of typhoid
fever and may be out of the game for
quite Il while.
Jack Holland and his family are with
the team this trip. The family con-
sists of a wife and three, but there is
only one who will stand a chance to
succeed his father. The others are
girls.
The Drummer team arrived with sew
eral strange faces and strange names.
Many of these names might be popu-
lar in Pretzel Alley of Davenport but
not among the scorekeepers of the
Western League circuit. Even at that,
these names are not any worse than
a number that have been collected by
Hughie Jennings of the Detroit Tig-
ers.
Parson Richardson has returned from
Salina where he has been playing on
the Kansas State League circuit. They
didn't need him. Red Snapp, of the
Nebraska State League, wants him and
will probably get him. Richardson will
be just about right for the Western
League next season.

Apple Tree Holds Record.

An apple tree growing in the Walla

200 bushels of apples last season, thus
breaking its own record Of 1861 boxes
in 1907, the highest production, we
are assured, from single tree known
anywhere in the world. This tree bore
20 boxes in 1906, AZ boxes in 1908 and
As boxes in 1909. More than 500 bar.
rels Of fruit have been picked from
it since it came into bearing In the
spring of 1871.
The tree was grown without bri.
cation from Seeding planted in 1866.
1t Is forty-two feet in height and its
branches spread fifty-seven feet from
tip to tip. The trunk is seven feet In
circumference ut the base and meas.
