Where they play Friday:
Springfield at Topeka.
Pittsburg at Fit. Scott.
lola at Sedalia.
Joplin at Leavenworth.

Everyone in the city of Topeka
who wants to see baseball stay here
and be a permanency should buy a
so cent ticket to the initial game to
be played in the new baseball park
on Sunday, July "a. Whether the pur-
chasers go or not. should make no
difference. Five thousand have been
issued and are to be sold at half dol
lar each, Paying the visiting team
twelve and one-half cents on each
league, would leave the Topeka as
ISOLATION nice big, fat bunch of
money with which the deficit could be
paid from the park, and the baseball
association could be put on an even
footing with it's debts. Then with
Sunday games the money end of the
bushes is cinched-it is a dead sure
thing. This is an appeal to the pa
triotism of the fans. If those tickets
are sold it will mean starting things
out on a new basiS-it means that
Topeka will have baseball next year.
If 5000 people each buy a pasteboard
the park and Of the association can
be spread over the whole city and it
will not affect anyone. The tickets are
on sale now and everyone should be
sold by the time the park is COM
-pleted.
GoodearI has been released from
the pitching staff of lola and Milton
K. u. pitcher, was also let go.
Frank Ouinton on the Saints: eff
4 had a team like that, I'd like to
have another, so as to give somebody
one of them to take the other away
/ The management is considering put
ting Robinson the Y. NJ. c.. A. pitcher,
urday in the game against Springfield.
He is employed in the Santa Fe gen.
eral offices, and the rai1roaders would
almost turn out to a man to see him
them. Robinson has made record
this year. After beating the Atchison
semi-professionals three times, Earl
Green stated that he is the best pitch
err who has been in the Corn Carni
val town this year. There is one
thing certain. Nothing can be lost
by the trial.
A meeting of the Thirty Days
Boosters club" has been called for the
grandstand at the ball park every time
there is game in Topeka.
Some day next week President
Shiveley will call together all the
managers of teams in the Missouri
Valley league in Kansas City. Mo-. for
the purpose of rearranging the Sched-
ule so as to give Topeka Sunday
games. Shiveley was in Topeka on
Wednesday and after looking over the
conditions and seeing for himself that
a new park in Topeka would be a
reality shortly, he stated to the man
agement here that the schedule
would be changed at once to give the |
Saints all the Sunday games possible.
1t will not take long to make the re- |
arrangement. At the beginning of the
season when the schedule was made
up which the teams have been playing
under AL this year, second schedule |
was also prepared, in which Topeka |
crix dates. RRV0n6 a
little. patching up, there will not be |
much to do. A few matters of bust |
ness will also come before the man
ayers for settlement.
With the conclusion of Wednesdays
games, the Valley league season was
Just one-half over
Lee Gramley's great value to Sc
dalia seems to lie in the nimbleness OF
his tongue. Every once in a while the
papers rap him for poor work and
then proceed to lay a few laurels on
ing his "chin-talk-'' Gramley used to
play with washburn and his voice
pyrotechnics are remembered.
The Topeka Baseball association
will meet tonight "for the good of the
team" The wretched work of the
Saints lately needs some sort of tonic,
and the question is will the associa-
ton be able to diagnose the trouble
properly and then prescribe the right
stuff The internal sickness of the
team began with the dismissal of Abb
bolt by Manager Alberts and his sub
sequent reinstatement by the officers
of the association. Then Armstrong
acted up and through overtures
from Fort Scott and the cooperation
of Hornaday and President Shiveley,
the Topeka captain became a Giant.
Manager Alberts was then discharged
and Tom Sheard took the pilot wheel
All these things badly disorganized
the team, destroyed their unity, and
hacked team work to pieces. The real
panacea is the employment of a good
field manager-captain. President
Sheard is a good business man and /
