business of changing umpires from
day to day gets me and 1 am opposed
to it.
Oklahoma City bore busy baseball
look this season. Five Western League
clubs, Denver, Topeka, Sioux City,
Lincoln and Omaha appeared there at
various times during the spring sea-
son and the hotels were crowded with
ball players. That the town has still
far to go, however, before it becomes
of Western League class, was evidence
ed by the fact that 100 people was
very nearly record crowd, despite
the fact that he was there a month,
playing nearly every day, Pa Rourke
failed to reach the 1000 mark in his
grandstand. Yet there are some who
think Topeka's franchise should be
transferred!
shift in training camps is a not
improbable move on the part of sew
eral Western League magnates next
year. Texas has been run to death
by major league squads and the CHI
mate is an uncertain quantity. Den
yer had a proposition from Arizona
this spring which was very nearly
accepted and it is not improbable that
the Bears will go to Colorado's sister
state in 1914.
It's surprising how some of the play
ers retain their youth. Lee Quillin
has been in fast baseball company for
II years, yet he admits to not more
than 26 years.
Outfie1der Chouinard, formerly of the
Chicago White Sox and Des Moines
has been purchased by Chattanooga.

good hitter.
The thermometer has nothing to do
with the enjoyment of a sport fan.
If it's in him, he always is one. Up
in Alaska they're whooping it up over
sledge racing with dog teams.
Some fears are expressed that the in
jury to Roy Brashear will put him out
of the game for weeks. Brashear broke
a leg in the morning game between Los
Angeles and Venice on April 6, in a
collision with Ernie Johnson at second
base.
The Texas started right out like it
means to be a pitchers league again.
Taylor of Austin held Fort Worth to
