Lincoln Chiefs
Against Colorado Springs
The Lincoln Chiefs, after los
ing 11 out of their last 15 games,
and the last four in a row, un
loaded all their bottled up emo
tions on Colorado Springs Mon
day night for a 9-4 win at Sher
man Field. .
This victory .coupled with a
Denver loss, put the Chiefs only
two games out of first place. It
was a definite psychological
stimulant to the faltering Lin
coln nine, which was suffering
from inferiority feelings due to
11 losses from the three tail-end
teams in the league.
.',
UNTIL THIS win, the only
consolation for the bewildered
Chief audience was that at this
time last year, the Capital City
club was in eighth place instead
of second. Now, with their con
fidence reaffirmed, the Chiefs
are in much better position to
barge back into first place,
where they once resided, much
to the delight and amazement
of local . viewers.
The standings find Denver
leading the league with 31 wins
and 21 losses, Lincoln second,
Des Moines third, Omaha fourth,
Sioux City fifth. Pueblo sixth,
Colorado Springs seventh and
Wichita eighth.
ONE REMARKABLE differ
ence in this year's Lincoln team
