WOULD JYKAWS
for Purchase of Team.
Deal Would Not Result in Re
moral, However.
Jimmy Manning Is trying to buy the
- Topeka baseball team, franchise and
all its holdings for a wealthy real es
tate man. He has been correspond
ing with the local management for a
month or more and a deal may be
closed in the near future. Manning is
a former major leaguer and Is beet
known here as manager of the Kansas
City Blues for a number of years.
Manning is engaged In selling Texas
land at present and Is associated with
a Chicagoan who wants to put some
money in a baseball team. The local
management has made them a propo
sition and a decision is expected in a
short time. However, they expect to
keep the team in Topeka and build
up a strong aggregation. The local
management places a value on its
holdings which range from 20.000 to
$25,000.
Manning was once a part owner of
the Washington team before the Amer
ican League was organized. He is a
hustler. Gear was a pitcher for the
Kansas City team while the former
was employed as the manager. It is
probable that Gear would be retained
as active manager, although Manning
would dictate affairs.
Players Look Good.
AH of the players but Lee have re
ported to Gear at Denison. Lee cannot
get away from his present position un
til April 1. He will come direct to To
peka at that time.
Gear Is well pleasea with his crowd,
but has not had enough time to get a
definite line on them. He is working
Dulin at thlrS and believes he will
make good. Dulin is down to weight
and tips the beam at 180 pounds. He
weighed 205 last summer. Forsythe,
McLarry. Rapps, Snapp and Ollom
look mighty good to Gear. All are big
fellows and have shown up mighty
well In the short practice they have
had.
Gallager, Fullerton and Adams have
shown excellent work as pitchers. The
old men who were with the team last
year are showing up better than be
fore, and Gear acknowledges that he
will have trouble In picking the regu
lar men.
- Gear has arranged some more games
and the team will play every day ex
cepting March 31, while in the Texas
camp. The regulars will play the Deni
son team trday.
tun. Clay Center, Junction City, Sa- j
Una, Great Bend, and Lyons. There I
had been much talk that Hutchinson
would purchase the Minneapolis fran
chise but Clay Center slipped in and
took it. The schedule committee will
meet at Sallna March 28 to frame and
adopt a schedule. The season is ex
pected to open about May 15.

ATHLETIC MEET IX TOPEKA.
Date Has Not Yet Been Set fop First
District Contests.
The first district high school meet
will be held In Topeka this year. It
will probably be held on the last Sat
urday in April, but this will be decided
later. The meet was held in Holton last
year. Winners of events In this meet
will represent their respective schools
and district at the state meet. None
will be entitled to represent their schools
at the state meeting excepting the first i
and second winners. The local high
school has some good track material !
this season and those who are inter- j
ested expect to make a good showing at i
the state meet. There are a large num- I
ber cf students who are good in run- 1
ning, sprinting, jumping and weight
throwing. There is a shortage of ma
terial in pole vaulting and high jump
classes.
Six Teams in LeaRne.

been definitely settled that the Kansas
State league will be composed of six
towns this season. They are Manhat-

SPORT NOTES.
If Emory Olson shows the speed that he
did with Louisville. It Is predicted that
ne win iana a Denn witn tne St. j.ouis
j Browns. He Is showing some speed but
j his fate has not been decided.
J Luther (Dummy) Taylor has drawn his
! release from thi Montreal team In the In
ternational league. Dummy has been a
prominent figure In baseball for a num
ber of years. He was one of the main
stays of the New York Giants when
Christy Matthewson broke in the game
and stayed with the McGraw squad sev
eral more years. His home Is at Baldwin
He has saved enough of the worldly goous
tnat he floesn t need to care about pucn
ing baseball but he just naturally can't
keep out of the game.
Taylor is coaching the baseball team it
the. deaf and dumb institute at Olathe
and the summer season will find him
pitching amateur baseball if he fails to
land on a last minor league team.
Selby has oVawn his release from the
Louisville Colonels. He went to the Ken
tucky town from Topeka, with the assist
ance of Dick Cooley. He was an excellent
pitcher at one time but is clipping.
Polly is the cognomen which McMurray.
the Texas league outfiider with the Kaws,
will answer to this season. He is some
hitter.
McDonald, who was with the Kaws ami
at Manhattan last year, will be with
Houston In the Texas league during the
coming season.
Among the familiar players of tha
Kansas State leaeue who will be with
Kearney in the Nebraska State this year
are Ben Aqock. wno was witn nuicnm

Red Hariott. of Lamed, who was sold to
Port Wayne: Synek, wno was witn Mc
pherson; Berte. who was with Lamed;
Bechtold, who was with Great Bend, and
was sold to Pueblo. Berte will manage
the team.
John Beall. who was sold to Cleveland
by Denver, is being given a trial at the
initial station and Is gettlner away wi n
the job. Beall played first on the Pacific
coast at one time, but that has nothing t.
do with being given a trial now. tjirm

The double squeeze play is Connie
Mack's latest. Playing against San An
tonio, Collins was on third and Strunk on
second. Barry laid down a bunt. Collins
scored easily while Barry was beta"
thrown out, and Strnnk having taken a
tremendous flying lead, came all the way
from second, crossing the plate less than
a second after Collins, so great was his
burst of speed.

their plan.
In the spring of 1909, Duck Holmes took
his Sioux City ball club on a barnstorm
ing trip through Kansas to season the
plavers for the pennant race. One of Ins
pitchers at that time was Eddie From.
The Indians, or Packers, as they were
called at that time, were to open the sen
son in Wichita, so they made their last
stop at Hutchinson. 42 miles from the
"Peerless Princess." When registering
the members. Tom Fairweather, who was
secretary then, placed From's name on
the register at the top of the list, neg
lecting to write his Christian name, and
in the proper colmun opposite he wrote
the words Sioux City, la. Following
From's name were those of the other
players with ditto marks under the Sioux
Citv " When it came time to tall In tne
hay" that night, From found that he had
no bed. After making inquiry he found
that the hotel clerk had taken his name
for the preposition indicat ng, that ti e
men were "from Sioux Cit. The big
pitcher finally procured a bed all right
but not until he had roused Fairweather
from his bed, and the latter In turn awoke
the clerk, who was compelled to s ve p
Ills roS to make a place for the slighted
pitcher.
The team certainly made no mis
take in going south for the training
season. Many teams trying to train
around Kansas City and Excelsior
Springs are having anything but ap
propriate weather.
You had better send in your guess
now to the Baseball Editor of the
State Journal on the paid attendance
at the opening game April 18 between
the Topeka and Denver teams. This
paper will give a season ticket valued
at more than $40 to the person coming
nearest the actual figures.
Bat Wins Another Round.
Denver. Col., March 21. Battling
Nelson has won another victory and
bcome reconciled to his wife, who was
Miss Fay King, a cartoonist on a Den
ver newspaper. The couple have
agreed to live together for one month
a trial marriage for that length of
time and if then Mrs. Nelson is sat
isfied with matrimony, they will try
and live happy ever after. Mr. and
Mrs. Nelson talked over their troubles
and their differences alone. It was
given out that the former world's
champion had won out and that his
bride would forget all about divorce
and agree if her month marriage
proved happy to stick until the last
bell was rung.
Fishermen Rescued.
Grand Haven. Mich., March 21.-
Nineteen fishermen, after suffering all
the terrors of hunger, cold and the
menace of the ice crags of Lake
Michigan could bring upon them,
