He is full of ginger, says the repart, and he fs hitting the ball hard, A successful year 18 predicted ‘for him. Arrangements ,are being made by the tans of St. Joseph'for an excursion to be run to the first Sunday game that will be played in Topeka between the Drummers and the Cooleyites, and. the St. Joe scribes. predict that there will be a’larger attendance of Drummer fans at.the game than Topeka fans. Is this a press-agent gag thrown out as a sort of roast by the St. Joe bunch to bring out a big bunch of Topeka bugs?. Raftis, the new inflelder procured by Des Molnes wants to get away from the Boo ers. He has o desire to play with Bing- hamton, N. Y., and inasmuch ‘as Niehoff has reported for.work his desires are liable to be gratified, although he may have to report to Des Moines, Owen, the new pitcher, recently obtained by Des Moines, looks pretty good to the fans who have watched him work and the general feeling is that he will be a great help to the Boosters this year. ‘Manager “Babe” Towne of the Sloux that the practice of stealing balls by boys after they are batted over the fence has to be stopped and the first offender who Is caught attempting to make away with a sphere will be arrested. Manager Towneciosed a deal with Joe Cantillon by which he came Into posses- slon of Lee Quillin and “Kiddo" Wilson. Leo will be & great help to the Sloux' game at short and as Wilson did good work on the slab for the Indians in the last days of the 1909 eeason, the fans of. the city up north feel highly elated over the deal. First Baseman Ozee of the Sioux City team has been turned over to Lew Drill, manager of the Monmouth team of the Minnesota-Wisconsin league. Manager “Babe" Towne farmed him, but on account of the good showing he made In the spring try-out wants him where he can get him if needed. He also farmed Heinle Rossback 10 the Winnepeg club of the Northern league. Rosback looked mighty good ‘to the Sloux City fans and it is expected he will shine as & star In the Northern league. Des Moines still* hopes' fo land Frank Lange for’a member of its pitching staff. Announcement was made. this: week that one of the White Sox pltchers would have to ‘be released and the dope indicates that Lange would be the one to go.. When at Des Moines last week, Frank remarked that ‘the atmosphere. of the. Towa capital looked good fo him, and that if he was to be pushed off the Sox staff there.was no place that would suit him better than Des Molnes. This' announcement on his ‘part comes In the face of a rumor that he did not care. to go back to the Boosters. Cooley says he only fears two clubs in the league this year, Molines and Omaha. He belleves Denver wm'p. weaker than his club, and does not rate Lincoln and Sioux City much above Denver. He does not comment on Wichita. | That Daniel Boone hoy who was picked up off the back lots of Wichita by Irzie It _he can make it stick he will doubtless develop into a’' phenom. 'He handed & cold bunch to the White Sox and the St. Louis Browns, and on' the \Oklahoma. trip he has been doing thin The Grizzlles were walloped by a. plek-up team Sunday ‘and the Denver fans are stepping on_their lower lips as a/ result. At that, the pick-ups were not amateurs by any means, but numbgred some stars d |trom the Pucific Coast league, ex-Western league players and others who know the protessional game. Pitchers Jorstad, " Young and Knowles were released this week by Manager Hen- dricks of the Grizzlles. They did not ap- pear heavy enough and Manager Tack is | now “looking around for material to take thelr places. The slogin. of ‘the Denver | menager seems to be ‘to get the hest ob- tainable. The releass of these three lea Denver with Olmstead, Schreiber, Gillen, Adams, Herbert and Mitchell. An enthuelastic report comes from St. Joseph regarding the predicted success' of the Drummers this season. The fans of the clty are showing a spirit of loyalty to their team that indicates that as far as the financlal end of the gathe is concerned there will be nothing lacking., The at- tendancé at the exhibition games has been exceedingly gratifying fo the management. It looks like some of the other cities of the Western league will haye to’get into the game to run St. Joe & race for the at- ‘tendance mark. and they ‘are Dos [y TABLE TURNED AT CAPITAL | Philadelphia Reverses Things and Trims Washington, 8 to 2.

Both contests were lost to the Akgles; the first went to the tune of to 3 and the second 11 to 3. Nebraska's flelding was better than Man- hattan’s, but fts batting was much weaker. In the game yesterday the Aggies made seven errors and the Cornhuskers regis- tered only three..

With the strong or weak batters that ls now on the nine the Cornhusker aggrega- tion can hope to win but few games this year. Nebraska's pitchers showed up fairly well, though one of them was a dlsap- pointment. Mathers made the best show- Ing of the three twirlers. In the first game 5 he held the Aggies to less than elght safe hits. Coach Carroll returned with a large quan- tity of evidence against the University of Kansas players who earned money by play- ing summer base ball last year. that he secured will be turned over ‘to the Nebraska _athletic board for use In case the Cornhuskers decide ‘to' protest any of the Jayhawker men.

The Nebraska gymnastic team is at Min- neapolis tonight for the annual gymnastic meet of the western conference teams. The Cornhuskers do not expect to land many prizes, as the team.is one of the weakest that has represented the local school in several years.

Langford Knocks Out Tim Barry ston Demon” Whips White Foe in Sixteen Rounds of Fierce Fighting. LOS ANGBLES, Cal, April 15—In a battle which demonstrated anew the abllity of Sam Langford of Boston as a human fighting machine, added to the reputation of Jimmy Barry of Chicago only a tribute to gameness and ability to withstand pun- ishment, the “Boston demon' sent his white antagonist to the mat for the final count in the sixteenth round at the Vernon arena today. It was & viclous go from start to finish with the negro well in the lead after the first six rounds. From the tenth, in which Barry twice went down for the count of nine, until the sixteenth, then a straight left to the chin ended the comb: it was wholly one sided, Langford landed upon his man almost at will and victory by the knockout route appeared only a matter of time. Barry surprised the ringside crowd with the strength he displayed, despite the ter- rific bombardment and a rally in the fif- teenth Inspired his backers with the hope that he would yet outlast Langford. In the clinches the white man showed the stronger of the two, being cautioned by the referee several times for rough tactics at close range. In a clinch near the end of the third round, Barry almost threw Langford through the ropes.

Jeffries Puts On Mits with Bob Armstrong Fights Three Rounds with Colored Heavyweight—Pugilist Worried Over Wife's Illness. BEN LOMOND, Cal., April 15.—Refreshed by his relaxation and diversion yesterday afternoon James J. Jeffries returned to the training grind today with mcre ginger in his work. The first stunt on the program was three rounds of boxing with Bob Armstrong, the colored heavywelght. Commencing with defensive tactics in the first round to im- prove his speed and foot work, Jeffries, who 1s not much given to'backing away, was soon chasing the big negro all over the ring. Armstrong was glad when it was over, Jeffries' speed was a trifle better than last Monday, but it was evident he still needs a lot of boxing practice to be anything like his former self. Bag punch- ing and hand ball followed and when the stunts were over the perspiration falrly rolled from him. Fast as Jefties appeared, Manager Sam Berger thought the undefeated champlon | was & bit off in his work. “He's worrled,” said Berger, “and I know his heart was not in anything he aid this afternoon. It may have seemed to the casual onlooker that he showed plenty of ginger and lite, but I know him too well.” Jeftries s much worried over the im- pending operation on his wife. Mrs. Jef- ferles, accompanied by Dick Adams, left tonight for Oakland, where she Is to go under the surgeon's knife ‘Saturday morn- ing. Her iliness and departure has cast a gloom over him and puts an end to plans for a party ‘tomorrow night in Honor of Jeftries birthday. He will be 35 tomorrow, at least that is his age, as given out by Berger. Under the circumstances it is not likely that he will enter into any festivi: ties.
