leased to make room for him is prob
lem.
The Enid team has vet to win its
first game on the road The few games
which the team has won have all been
won on the home grounds. The daily
returns from the games on the road
must be highly entertaining to TIL
Enid populace.
s. Olson is a plucky little player
the same place-the pit of the StOm-
ach. Yesterday it was by batted ball
which took bad bound. The little
Swede was winded but after waiting
for a little fresh air, he went back into
the game and put up his stellar style
of play.
Hutchinson News: Shuster made
the statement while here that he would
make Andrews and Cooley eat out Of
his hand or he would break up the
league. But the fans noticed how
very nice he was while here and up
until few minutes before he caught
the train out of town. He was the
same way in Topeka and waited until
he got a chance at Dick on the road.
Red Wright, the new manager of
the Railroaders, was here in the first
series of the season as captain of the
Webb City team. Wright took charge
of the Enid aggregation less than a
week ago, but has already made sew
eral changes in the team. According
to Wright when he took the team he
found a good bunch of individual
players but they were grouped in
cliques and Red is trying to work this
out of the team. "Hurlburt left the
team badly disorganized. said Wright,
but / think the cliqueS can be blotted
out and the team made a winner 1t
may be necessary to let a couple of
the best players go, but as long as the
team is disorganized no games can be
won, and 1 think it would be better
to have team work than a few indi-
Vidual stars"
The Midgets have made another
change in the lineup. Atty Wilson,
who played in the outfield for Hutch
inson last season, has been bought.
Wilson belonged to Wichita but re-
fused to play with the Champs and
has been playing independent ball at
Bisbee, Ariz. Wilson is one of the
best base runners and pinch hitters in
the business. The Springfield papers
aver that Wilson will supersede Cole
in left field and that the latter will be
used as utility man.
The Oklahoma News saws that
Cooley swore for a whole hour after
losing Mondays game. If the Okla
homa City press reflects the attitude
of the fans to the Topeka team it is
| little to be expected that anything like
| a fair deal will be given to the locals
when they strike Melville.

Commencement at St. Marys.

st. Marys, Kan, June 19.-St-
Marys academy held it's thirty-ninth
annual commencement here this
week. Bishop Lillis of Kansas City,
who was to have delivered the

twenty-three young men and the de-
gpee Of master of arts upon four. At

Umpire Burke evidently feels the
recent statements in the Topeka pa
pers regarding the work on the trip
in which Cooley's men were given the
worst of it at every turn in the road.
Burke is coming out in some of the
papers with denials and says that it
was Umpire Hoffman who was giving
which is a tacit admission on the part
of Mr.. Burke that something was
wrong and that Cooley did not get
what he deserved.

Assaria, Kan, June 19.-The rains
have again kept the harvesters from
the wheat fields. Wheat is ripening
and farmers are worried at the con-

of 95 acres on the Mrs. May Muir

Walter Frantz is about the best in
fielder on the Enid team. The parson
IS we'll known in baseball circles, hav-
ing attracted attention upon his ad-
vent into the game by resolutely hold
ing out against Sunday baseball and
refusing to play on the Sabbath. How
ever of late years he plays Sundays.
His best work was done during the
two or three years of his connection
with the Kansas City team. Last sea-
son he played with Cooley at Louis
vile.
Red Wright, who is accidentally
called Joe occasionally, says he has
three or four more new players on the
way to join the team in Topeka. Red
certainly needs them and he is to be
commended on his efforts to bring or
der out of chaos on the Enid team
Louis Runkel was repeatedly given
the glad hand by the Topeka fans in
yesterdays game. Lou responded tic
the first outburst of applause with Il
double. Later in the game he drove
in Ends only run with single. Lou
is popular in Topeka and he rightly
deserves to be for a more conscientious
or gentlemanly player never worked in

WCTORS IN AUTO
RACES WELL PAID
Rewards Big Considering Actual
Working Time-Many Sources
of Revenue.

Racing automobile drivers receive
tremendous sums for winning a race.
OF course, If the risk undergone IS
taken into consideration. no reward IS
TOO great. But for the time IN which they
are enEaged-their absolute working
time-the rewards are enormous. In
addition 10 the fees they receive from
the owner Of the winning car, the rae
ing drivers receive large sums from
other sources. Some of these rewards
are semi-confidential, other are publicly
known. For Instance, from one outside
source alone. the driver of the winning
car may receive $1,000.
If the winning driver in the Wander
bilt Cup race drives on NIichelin tires,
the Michelin Company gives him 81, GOO.
The second driver receives $50, and the
third 500. In fact. every driver finish
ing the race on these tires, receives a
substantial prize.
Other rewards fall TO the driver from
other sources.
