Sport Wheezes
BY CLUG-

DR.. Naismith al K. U. says that talk
ing to women during the afternoon
hours ruins many promising Jay
hawker athletes. Talking to women is
precarious pastime at any hour
sometimes.
Louis Disbrow, the auto racer who
promised to give up the game when
he married a few months ago, is said
to be hankering for his old love again.
They all do, sooner or later.
The Chicago Herald is planning to
establish a baseball school. Probably
Comiskey will take advantage of this
and enroll Eddie Collins and the rest
of his White Sox in the night classes
when the team is at home.
The court of appeals of Maryland
has decided that Sunday baseball can
injure no mans morals. But the lack
of game to go to has caused many
man to do things he wouldn't like
to have the world know about.
Last winter it was noted that the
Indians were becoming less and less
prominent in big league basel ball. But
it must have been falsetto note
look at the Cleveland Indians.
In their days of trials and tribula-
tons and gloom Eddie Monroe is one
of the few Savages who are playing
their standard brand of ball. Eddie
not only is showing good in the mask
but he is hitting better than he did
last season.
In the Is inning game at Sioux City
Monroe got total of four bingles. IN
Saturdays Omaha combat he got two
and Sunday he annexed another.
The common query among local
fans is, Whats the matter with the
team" And probably Savage and
baltimore would like to know as much
as anyone else just where the ailment
| lies.
| OF court, it is admitted by all that
with the exception of Hall and West
the pitching staff is far below the cali
/ Der of the rest of the team. However,
any team that can play an opponent
| to an Is inning tie and that loses
games by one and two runs cannot be
| SO rotten.
And it must be admitted that the
| last three weeks have been as trying
as any period of the whole season will
be. A long trip Saps up a whole lot
J of life, and bad breaks have been the
| portion of baltimore and his men ever
since they left home.
However, if they come home with a
! 800 per cent average, they will de-
serve more credit than they probably
will get, and they will have done well
| in the face of the circumstances. The
pennant prospects do not glow like
| they did three weeks ago, but if the
team comes home as high up as the
| 800 mark and if the management sue
| ceeds in getting one more pitcher as
| good as Hall, then you can bet your
socks Topeka will be in the first divi-
| sion at the end.

ages in His Clutches.
FOrsythe Big Factor in Oma-
hogs Sunday Victory.

The JinX that has pulled the Saw
ases down out of the first division
seems to be tightening his hold in
stead of releasing it and he did about
his worst Sunday in Omaha when he
assisted the Rourkes in taking the
third straight contest and in admins
tering the first defeat of the season
ito "Highpockets'' Hall.
For the first time now the Savages
are below the 500 mark and unless
they cop from st. Joe in the series that

Friday with a gloomy outlook ahead
Saturday Dashner worked for the
Savages and during the seven innings
on the mound he allowed nine hits, in
Guiding a home run, and permitted the
Omahogs to salt away the contest be-
fore he could be relieved. The final
sscore of the Saturday contest was

Sundays Game Close.
However, Sundays game was much
closer and it was not lost until the
eighth inning. when Krug's FASTENERS
came from behind and amassed three
counts.
7s7 Cy Forsythe. former Savage, who
was sold to the Rourkes last season,
was the principal factor in the Sunday
battle. Although he has been in
batting slump all season. old Cy
seemed to get his eye to working with
his arm as it should Sunday and out
of three trips to bat he got three hits
that counted three runs. Two of his
hits, by the way, were triples
Hall pitched a good game and the
team hit fairly we'll behind him. Kru-
ger. Ag1er and Cochran getting two

stlOwned and a bobble in the eighty
when Monroe and Hall allowed a base
runner to reach third while they were
holding a consultation gave the Old
Jonah the opening into which he drove
the rallying wedge that gave the game
to Omaha.
