DR.. SHWELY HERE.
He Says That Umpire Lewinson Wants
to Come Back

DR.. d. NJ. Shively, the president of
the Western association, dropped into
Topeka about noon today and will be
spectator at the game with Leaven-
worth this afternoon. He came up
from Kansas City to see Jacobs the
new recruit. handle the indicator.
Shively is very much pleased with
the pennant race that is now on in tn
league and says that no team has any
cinch to the pennant as yet and that
the team that is al the top on the last
day will be the one to get the rag al
though no tea M Will have much of a
margin at the end of the season.
There are no tailenders in the race,
said Shively and he is about right.
In Spea king of the chances for the
Topeka lads to land the flag he said
that Topeka has the strongest team
right now that she has had at any
time this season.
DR.. Shively has had nc little trouble
with umpires this season and is very
much angered at the treatment he re-
ceived from Lewinson This man Is
now after a job on the Shively staff,
but DOC has turned deaf ear to all
his entreaties for reinstatement.
There is a rumor going the rounds al
though no confirmation can be secured
that his visit to Topeka is OF more than
passing importance 1t is said that the
LeaVen worth team is to be transferred
to Atchison owing to the poor attend
town during the last few games. At the
last of the Joplin series there were thir-
ty-five paid admissions to the grand
stand. But Shiveiey denies all rumors
OF this sort and says that they are with
out foundation.
A letter which he had just received
from J. H. Farrell. president of the Ma
tional association in regard to the
Cheney case was shown to q State Jour-
nal reporter. It appears from the letter
that no official record exists Of cheney's
being farned out to the Indian Terri
tory team and that from all the files in
his hands Bartlesvi1le is entitled to the
pitcher. However, Mr.. Shiveley thinks
that the action of Gus Alberts III the
case is little short of contemplate.
A message received by Mr. Shiveley
This morning from Pug Owens states
that his case comes up for hearing IN
Chicago tomorrow. Mr.. Owens says
that if he is exonerated, as he thinks he
will be, that be win resign his position
and forever steer clear of the game
Jack Nash was offered a position on
teh umpiring staff but refused TO accept.
