Here is a photograph of Ducky Holmes' 1913 bnrjd of Sioux as they appeared on opening dny in Omaha. They have shown class, even if they did
drop three straight to the Rourke family durintr the oneiiimc series. Holmes fitruros them as ponnant wiriHM's, and proposes to lead the race all tho xcnyl
after he succeeds iu getting them by the teams that are now ahead of him. The way tho Sioux landed ov. Si. .Joseph after leading Omaha, and the awful
drubbing they gave the Rourkes on Friday at Sioux City, seems to support tho claim of tho scrappy leader that they are the ultimate winners iu the
Western. In the picture they are, top row, left to right: Hartley, Claire, Gorloy, Getchell, Young, Holmes, Klein, Doyle, James, Itapp, Allen. Bottom
