Sioux Cit, la., July 23. By driving
three Sioux pitchers all over the lot
yesterday the Izzie's won the final
game of the series by a score of 14
to 6. From started the game, but
was easy and had to be taken out.
Burnnm, lately secured from Topeka,
then took up the burden but was wild
and he too was sent to the bench.
Chabek finished the game but he was
but little better. For the Izzies
Aitchison started the game but was
forced Into retirement on account of
extreme wildness. Brennan took his
place and held the locals to one
scratch hit durinsr the remainder of
the' same. The Sioux warriors ac
corded their pitchers poor support,
errors being frequent and of such a
land as to put the pitchers in the
hole.

Tho Puiblo team is in another hard
row. The grounds on wmch the team
plays are not owned by the club own
ers but are merely leased and the own
ers of the park threaten to sel lit at
auction. If sold the grounds might be
rented for other, purposes.
Reports from Joplin say that the fans
in that town are trying to raise enough
money to buy one of the Western
League franchises. Joplin couldn't pay
expenses with a winning team in the
Western Association, and hence would
be nothing short' of a dismal failure in
the Western League. Epid, Springfield
and Pauline will- be talking Western
League next.
Frank McManus left - Topeka this
morning for Omaha, where he will join
the Des Moines team.
.Omaha. World-Herald j.. . Here in. one
week, tho'Topekas and '.Wiehitas have
introduced-- the , bughouse glide, tne
flarcback sacrifice, the infield sacrifice
fly, the two-base hunt and the two-bagger
to the pitcher's box. yet they have
received nothing but the most vitriolic
condemnation from tho fans. Wonder
what these .foolish bugs want?
Bonno, who was a star last season,
seems to be woefully shy on control this
year. The Sicilian hasn't pitched a
game in which he displayed any symp
toms of getting control.
Witherup, who ranked as one of -the
leading pitchers of tho league, with the
Des Moines team last season, has finally
gotten into the game with the Wash
ington Nationals. Witherup was pur
chased from Dea Moines last fall, but
contracted fever this cpring and hasn't
been able to get into the game previ
ously. Corhan of Pueblo, is out of the game,
due to an operation for a bone bruise
on his left hand. Pritchett is playing
the shortstop position and Locke is do
ing stunts on third base. Corhan is
easily the star of the Indian infiejd
and his absence from the game is re
sponsible more than any other cause
for th? dropping of the team in the
lront line for the cellar championship.
Harrv Welch. Omaha's right fielder,
has taken part in 900 games with tha
Omaha club, has accepted 1,800 put
outs, nnd has a batting average of
over .300 and a fielding 'average of over
.flSO for his six years of work for Pa
Kourke.
Why all this fuss in the Lincoln pa
pers over Jack Forrester. Forrester
was never considered more than an er-!

very much. Fcr the benefit of the

Lincoln News. Forrester's real record
in print-ad here. Jack came to Topeka
in 1905, having been released by Leav- j
enworth because of wildness. He stay
ed here during the year of 1306, during
which time he pitched the best ball
of his career. Cooley sold him to De
troit and he reported thcr-s in the spring
of 1907. In a few weeks he came back.
like th-3 proverbial cat. but cou'dn t
deliver the goods and was released by
Tonefca. He wandered around the
country that season and finally landed
at Springfield, where he pitched a few
games. fcpriiigheld a;dn t want mm
in 1908 so he came Dack to Topeka and
alter looking him over for three or
fc-ur games. Cooley decided he didn't
want him and sold him to 'ort worm.
Counting this last time, as he was
really signed by Topeka, Jack has been
signed by Cooloy four times, released
once and sold twice. Quite a record.
Topeka sort of took a back seat at
Louisville Wednesday, when Milwaukee
took both ends of a double header.
Halla and Selby were credited with the.
had three errors in. the two games, and
failed to get a hit out . of eight times
up.
Lincoln News: This Thomason chap
with Topeka is one of the speediest
nerformers in the Western League
There are very few players in any cir
cuit in the land able to beat him out
in a sprint to first. And Thomason
can hit a bit. If he were only a bet
tei outfielder, his hitting and speed
would win him a fat job in fast com
pany.
Graham, who just can't give up the
Idea of playing ball, is again in uni
form and is working out with the
Omaha team. It isn't likely he will
get into the game very soon, but it's a
cinch that if he nadn t been hurt.
Omaha wouldn't have lost a number of
the games which now swell tho lost
column.
McGregor, Des Moines new pitcher,
is now with the Boosters, and Higgins
expects him to take a regular turn on
tne rubber.
According to the Lincoln Journal
