KANSAS CITY WILL
PLAY HERE SUNDAY
Morning and Afternoon Games Will
Be Staged Upon the Fourth of
July, So Great Is the Demand
for Accommodation

What is or will be, beyond all doubt,
the most crucial test ever endured by
two big Colored baseball teams, is the
first three games to be played at Schor-
ling park between the Kansas City
Monarchs and American Giants.
The two monsters of the diamond
lock horns for fve-game series
starting Sunday, with morning and
afternoon scrap for the Fourth, and a
Tuesday and Wednesdays dash to de-
eide who is who.
Heretofore, the X. C's always opened
here on Saturday, but this time, the
initial occurs on Sunday, and that is
their lucky day Army Rogan has
trimmed the locals upon each Sabbath
day show here, while King" Curry,
pitching the best ball of the two, has
always annexed a trouncing, the latter
always opening the fray each Saturday
here
The Kansas City gang play at
GAINESVILLE, Wis, Saturday, so under
such conditions, the great Rogan
should draw the pitching assignment
for Sunday here; with King Curry
doing the honors about Fourth OF July
afternoon Such arrangements would
allow Rogan ample time to be fit for
the big Wednesday windup.
Every seat in the big baseball arena
has been sold out, and one will be
lucky to find a foot OF ground upon
which to place box. The two games,
morning and afternoon of the Fourth,
are for the purpose of aifording every
devotee an opportunity to witness, at
| least, one or two games OF the series
| i'm comfort The first game of the
Fourth will start promptly at l0:lo
a M, and the afternoon game at 3 pm.
1t is expected that this series, will, in
measure, serve to establish the right
full claimant OF first place honors in
the league, which has been presided
over by the Detroit Stars; the latter
will be hooked up in a series with the
| St Louis Giants at the time, and in
case the Wolverines slip cog, then
| the Kansas City-Foster games would
develop into death struggle for first
place honors. All games played may
mean a change in the standing of the
clubs; so each fray will be holly con-
tested, and that indicates heavy at
tendance at all games. Baseball de-
voices are advised to get out early
Sunday, also Monday morning and
afternoon of the Fourth. Tuesday and
Wednesday are expected to be the
most important days OF the series, be
cause it is not probable that either team
will win three straights. so no definite
information as to how the teams really
stand can be CLEANED until the Tues
day "Wednesday fray. and jockeying for
the best pitchers for the finish is
worrying the managers to a much
greater extent than anything else. You
had better see all the games lest you
miss the best.

Queens And Rough
House Wilson To
Try Again

GARY, Ind, June 2S.-Big Owens,
whom many tout as conner IN hstic
circles, is to get another try at Rough
House Wilson, who is credited with
taking the honors in their last go here
some time ago Despite the fact that
Owens looks and acts, at times, to
have the markings OF champ, many
experts who have lamped the work OF
the two bruisers, predict, not only a
victory for Wilson, but there exists
an open declaration that Wilson will
knock the New Orleans heavy for 4
goal. The bout will be held in Gary's
largest and most popular theatre, and
a large crowd of fight fans from Chi

STARS TAKE SERIES
WITH THE COWPERS

DETROIT, Mich, June 26.-The
Detroit Stars maintained their winning
streak here when they downed the
strong Cowpers for three straight
games. The Stars are leading the
Major Colored League, and have only
been defeated in three contests so far
this season. Saturday they open a
series against the St. Louis Giants and
this aggregation is said to be packing
enough ability this season so that they
have managed to make the going aw-
ful rough for all teams in the league
This series, going through the Fourth
of July, is the first meeting OF these
teams this season, and the result of the
series is expected to have an important
bearing upon the present standing OF
the clubs in the league. The games
will be holly contested.

KANSAS CITY AND ST.
LOUIS BREAK EVEN
Great Teams Win Two and Lose Two

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 26-The
St Louis Giants broke even on the
series with the Kansas City Monarchs
winning two and losing like number
of games out OF the four played. After
Drake had won on Sunday, rain in
terferrcd with Mondays game and
hostiites were renewed on Tuesday,
when Kansas City mauled Finner al
most at will and copied the contest
. to 5. Moore hit one of the longest
home runs ever seen at the local park
when he put the ball over the left field
fence in fair territory. McNair also
hit Finner for home run. On Thurs
day the Giants won with Jimmy Old
ham in the box. Oldham held McNair,
Donaldson and Carr Smuggling Co. to
three hits, two of them being OF the
scratch variety St. Louis made six
runs while Oldham was keeping the
opposition away. from the plate In the
nine innings played only one man
reached second base where he persisted
while three other men were stranded
on the initial bag. Oldham famed
eight batters and Donaldson was a
victim on strikes on two occasions. !
The little pitcher sent the opposition
back in order in the third, fifth, sixth,
eighth and ninth innings. On Friday
the Monarchs won from the Giants
and evened up the series, the score
being six to four Fields and Drake
who did mound duty for the locals |
deserved better break in the luck but
the boys had an off day in the fielding
line and the entire inheld with the ex-
ception of Mongin were off color. Holt,
usually reliable fielder, turned two
bad errors at the wrong time, each of
these allowing the Monarchs to score
mearned runs. The old reliable Joe
Hewitt was also guilty of an error
when he made bad peg to first in
the eighth inning allowing Kansas
City her final run.

and went straight to the northeast.

mile, and hard on his heels followed
the Moreiand Coal company's Na'wart

The way was exceedingly rough.
The two men climbed rugged cliffs.
threaded dense thickets of great laurel,

huckleberry bushes. They were one

overhead shut out completely the light
of the sun and half the light Of day.
Fearing panther, or Wildcat, Dale
kept his revolver loosened aud ready in
its holster. Walt Turner armed him
self with long staff-fOr snakes, he
said; and then he proved it by killing
a rattler that had eight rattles to its
tail.
But they travelled rapidly, notwtth-
standing the fact that the going %as
difficult; and two hours after the be-
ginning of the little journey Dale saw
before him a small and almost circular,
level-bOttomed basin walled In by low
cliffs. A small creek ran through this
basin and made two easy ways Of en-
trance. In the hollow they saw clunps
Of laurel and huckleberry bushes, and
wild grasses knee-high; toward the
center stood a solitary big and gnarled
black walnut tree.
They entered at the point at which
the creek ran in, and went to the wal
nut tree. There Turner halted and
faced Bill Dale with a peculiar CLINT

"If ever I have the chance" NUT
tered Bill Dale, "Ill thrash you for
this cute little joke Of yours"
"You won't never have the chanst,"
laughed Walt Turner.
The Balls and the Torreys began
to close In on all sides, and a solid
ring of dark and for the most part
bearded, wickedly triumphant faces
formed itself around Dale. Adam
Balls father, the acknowledged leader
of that band of cutthroats that was
now the Ball-Torrey faction, glared at
Dale with black eyes that were filed
with the fire of intense hatred; then
he seized Dale's revolver and thrust
It inside the waist-band Of his worn
Jeans trousers. Dale felt the grip
of rough hands on his shoulders and
arms. He fully realized his great
danger; but he strove to keep all signs
Of fear out Of his countenance and
he was not unsuccessful.
81 presume this is what you call
taking the law into your own hands,
isn't it?" he said with a smile that
was forced.
"Edzactly!" snapped old Ball. "We
ketched ye fo' the law, and we held
ye fo' the law, and we turned We over
to the law; and 'en, by comics, the
law turned ye loose the very next

fact that another man confessed to

he spoke.
"HelIo, John Moreland"
"Hello yeself" growled Moreland,
who was not at all pleased at the in
