A I i A V. MO. SEVEN MATHEWSON--BEST PITCHER OUTSIDE THE BIG LEAGUE The By "Blanch" A FOR FAIR WEEK. There was at least an even chance "Wednesday that Lincoln would have some baseball for fair week. Manager Ducky vas after Ed Hanlon by wire to transfer the Sioux City games to Lincoln for the latter part of next week.

It was said Sioux City had agreed to transfer a series to Omaha. If that is so it will be hard for Hanlon to avoid switching over for the Ducklings also. The Lincoln manager made the rounds of the league asking for trans fers to break into the last set of road games but without success. Most of the clubs want to stay at home, thus avoiding road expenses. The threatened strike not preventing, the Ducklings are billed for a two- day show in Des Moines Monday and Tuesday, putting on a pair of bouts for Labor day.

Tie schedule then calls for a trip orer to Sioux City and it. is this series which may be transferred. Manager Ducky is not saving his pitchers for the Omaha series which begins here Friday. He tried that the other time and got no results. This time he'll take his chances.

Jack HaJla looked like a sure winer against the but they fairly massacred his fetuff. The manager has a theory that Jack spoiled his pitching with too much autoiug. There's a chance for a nice argument there as to whether or not autoing hurts a'pitcher. Moving pictures, golfing and poker have been blamed for such things and now the automobile is in bad. The Ducklings will light out the middle of next month for the concluding games of the campaign.

If Omaha still maintains her long lead, the team probably will go out under the direction of Captain Hunter and President Stone while the manager hikes out after baseball phenoms. He has several prospects spotted and wants a chance to look them over. A A I EXPERT. Promoters of the Welsh-White fracas scheduled to occur in Colorado Springs next. Monday have -a hard working publicity agent in charge of the advertising department.

Beginning almost two months ago this genius has been providing newspapers with a tteady flow of copy. He has covered so much ground thai he probably will welcome the speedy coming of the end ol" the campaign. First there was the usual guff about the amount of money to change hands. Then ihere was the usual over the referee. Then came the arrival of the men.

at camp--on different days of course in. order to provide two stories. Then there was a story of ''their meeting at a Denver prize fight and a clever line of conversation, proving that the ad man is a conversationalist since if the scrappers met at all their intercourse would be confined to a few grunts. All that was the usual line of press agency. But this expert fixed up a row between the principals over whether they should train in the same building or not.

Another story was of the human interest sort with Freddie's sister-in-law played as the heroine, oting her energies to furthering the champion's campaign. Toward the last there was a column of stufi concerning a group of men planning to watch the battle from the tip of Mr. Pike's Peak, thirty miles away. Last ot" all comes the railway strike as a source of copy. All of it fakey, all the way.

And the dickens of it all is that this review of the fakery is puDlicity also. You can't get away from it. A SERIES. Indianapolis papers have been talking for some time now of a post season series between the winners of the association pennant and the top notchers of the Western" league. According to tie stories there published, plans for an engagement between Omaha and Indianapolis are practically complete.

A prize of a thousand dollars would be one of the things to work tor in the miniature world series. The sale of Rex Dawson by the Indians to the Cubs is of more than passing interest in Lincoln. Eastern comment on the promotion of Rex is: ball game. It also renmnis to be re corded that two liehtninc like plays Hi second by the same -Mullen prevented the White Sox from breiikinjr out in a rush just danger threatened. As a regular C.

Mullen is tho bigg boost that the Yanks have had Bin'e poor Joe Gedoon lost his cunning with the willow and the old club beiran to down lo the middle. There Is a punch in the middle of the diamond now and the Yanks ure forging right along toward recognition as a contender. COUVT O.V SALES. The Sioux City Indians who are making life pleasant for the Ducklings this week are counting on disposing of some players this fall at the draft price at least. The three are Shortstop Rader, Catcher Crosby and Third Baseman Connolly.

In addition to these players who are expected to have another shot at the majors, Paddy Livingston, the plump back stop is said to be slated for the St. Louis Browns as a battery coach. Connolly came to the Sioux from Washington and has been hitting remarkably well in this loop. Folks up there think he'll go back to Griffith. Rader was the property of the White Sox at one time but was sent back for seasoning.

On the coast he went well and in this loop he has been hitting over .300. Crosby was a major leaguer once and the fans believe lie' has improved enough to go back up this fall. His work in the game Tuesday indicated he has come up surprisingly in pegging the bases. A runner off second has to keep his head up with Crosby behind the plate. WOUJLDVT TRANSFER A story from St.

Joe is to the effect that Jack Holland has been asked to take his club out on the road instead of staying at home for the season windup. Jack fairly sobbed his allegiance to St. Joe in waving off the offers. At least you would gather that from the story printed there. Maybe Jack had the offer to change but there has been no hint to that effect in this town.

Jack says he was given a chance to come here September 14-15 for fair week. That sounds all right except that the fair will be held a week earlier. Following Holland's sobs conies the statement: The attendance here has been on the corporal's guard" order, especially since the club returned from its late disastrous trip. The paid admissions at the doubleheader Saturday were only sixty-three and the atendance yesterday was little better, not counting the ladies, who were admitted free. IIUXTIXG SEASOX OPEXS SOO.V.

Are all the decoys painted up? Is the gun in order? Got your shells yet? The hunting season is to open September 15, not September 1, as so many hunters and mighty nimrods have been thinking. The regulations for the protection'of migratory birds, issued and signed by the president August 21, contains that statement. Water fowl may be shot, on that date in Nebraska, and the season will last until December 16. The jacksnipe season opens September 15 and re- mains open i December 31. however, will not affoct Nebraska hunters, as the snipe will have loft theso parts long before that.

Plover may be shot after September 1. As for shooting on the river the res- illations make no announcement pertaining to the discriminatory law passed which forbids the shooting ot wild fowl on the Missouri river between Bismarck, N. and Nebraska City. Kusspll Eberstein of the depart meet of justice is of the opinion that hunt' ing on the river will be countenanced this year. The law spoiled some of the best shooting in years, and according to hunters has been a decidedly unfair law.

Ducks have been reported on the river and lesser lakes already this month, and prospects are for some ox- cellent shooting. The first birds down in the fall are usually the pintails, the mallards and teal following soon after. The price of shells this year will be an added expense to the hunters and there will be few wasted shots. Many men have planned hunting trips for the first of the month, and in all probability will continue the plans. They take the chance of arrest and fine and lose the title of sportsmen.

coreboard Yesterday's hero: Home Run Baker. He marched to the plate to deliver one of his mighty swats when two Yanks were on the sacks and struck out just as gracefully as did Casey. The despised Athletics again took a fall out of a pennant possibility when they hammered out a victory over the White Sox. Pitcher Johnson contributing a home run. The Browns defeated the world's champion Red Sox by taking two games right in the Red Sox Oivn bailiwick.

The Phillies hit the ball for seventeen hits in Chicago and. gave the Cubs a terrible beating. Cleveland came back long enough to take a fall out of Washington.

close managers are looking toward prospects for nexi year, i the class of new playing talem picked up In tho minors holding an important place. livery year word conies to the east of phenomenal ball players In tho minors. Usually those are taken up, and sometimes they make sood. Moro often than not. however, are sent back.

This year, perhaps more than any recent season, (hero is a dearth of good playing talent in (lie minors. Purchases, up to the present have been very few and onlj players of extraordinary ability have been picked off by the scouts. Some of these al ready have reported, while others are being held for delivery at the opening of the training season next year. The big minors, the American association, the International league and the Taciflc Coast league, will supply the greatest amount of real material, as usual. In the lower leagues the percentage of ball players who look promising is remarkably low.

In the American association, there are a number of ball players who look like a real flnd. Among these is Pitcher Nick Carter, purchased from Indianapolis by the Cubs for early delivery. Carter Is a right hander who was held by the Cleveland Americans at the beginning of the present season and turned over to Indianapolis with hardly a trial. He was the best pitcher in the association this year. Joe Went Up.

Outfielder Joe Kelly is another Indianapolis player taken by the Cubs and Pitcher Victor Aldndsre of the Indians also was snapped up. Kansas City has sent Chuck Wortman to the Cubs, Midclleton, former hurler for Louisville. l)as been sent to the Giants, and Infielder Joe Leonard of the Columbus club has reported to Cleveland. Minneapolis and Washington are carrying on their usual interchange, with a trial for Earl Tingling and Mike Memoske being assured. Mike Regan, star hurler for Kansas City, is certain to make a trip to the majors, and Pitcher Pierce of Toledo may get another chance.

In the coast league there is a wealth of good material. Portland offers Wilie and outfielders. Louis Guisto, first baseman, and Allen Soth- ron, pitcher. Guisto has been sold to Cleveland. Oakland has Martin, a pitcher.

San Francisco expects to dispose of Ping Bodie, outfielder, and Johnny Couth, pitcher. Salt Lake has Pitchers who bnnn the a in tho bean i the old agate have apparent ly figured out his only weak spot. Last year Weephman a jitney baseball and couldn't got it, but this year the Cubs arc giving it to him. Almost a riol in Pittsburgh last week owing to the fact that tho Giants' umpire and the Pirates' ump differed on decision. Seems the Reds will snare a pennant about the same time that polo becomes a poor man's game.

Although Noah pot the idea first. Jack Holland now has one of every kind on his team. After being out a week Jim Smith figures that Joe Jeannette must have walloped Rip Van Winkle also. Nearly time for the Cincinnati board of directors to take Matty's latchkey away from him. How They Count 'Em Out.

Baltimore--One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen-- Brooklvn--Nine and one is ten! Take 'im away! Marty O'Toole will have to depend on his slow ball for the rest of the season, having tossed his fast one in June and his curve early ill August. One of Joe Jeannette's swings busted a complete set of Jim Smith's ribs, but it's a fortunate thing for Jim that the blow didn't land. Won't benefit the umpires much if Zim goes from the Cubs to the Giants. just like rheumatism jumping your ankle to your neck. First Baseman Pitcher Fittery.

Bunny Brief and Los Angeles offers Catcher Basaler, Pitcher Horstmann and Outfielder "VVolter. Yernon has three stars in Infielders McGaffigan. Risberg and Bates. Of the trio McGaffigan is the least likely to go up. He is an excellent fielder, but his disposition on the diamond handicaps him greatly.

Much discord has broken forth among the Darkweight league now touring South America. Sam Langford wries back that, one of his brunette competitors has developed a new and cowardly shin blow. Ringside fans are trying to dope out how that deaf and dumb fighter can talk to his manager with his boxing gloves on.
