Schrant must not be blamed. But
President Sheard must be blamed for
he has given Schrant no authority.
The same was true when Gus AIberts

Topeka has no team. 1t has no head
no one to guide it. There is but one
thing that the management can do
and must do-elect a manager and
let him run things. Get the kind of
a man who knows something about
baseball There are too many now
connected with the Topeka associa-
ton absolutely incompetent to run
a ball-team, and they who are the
most SO, are taking the most promf-
nent part in trying to run it, and this
is aimed straight at Secretary Logan
as well as at Mr.. .Sheard. Here are
a few questions for the management:
Why was a doublehead arranged for
today without any notice in the pa
pers? Why was not the double head
er arranged for Saturday anyhow
when more people are at liberty to
attend ball games or If not then why
wasn't it made an extra feature for
the opening of the new park?- Why
are players not kept on the coaching
lines but then what's the use?
