COOLEY's HORSE SHOE.
How It Helped Him Win Western
Association Pennant.

The secret that lies back of the Topeka
team winning the pennant has just leak
ed out. Thousands of fans who have
watched the Topeka team perform during
the past season have seen the little satchel
in which Cooley keeps balls during the
progress of the game. But few have re-
allied that the secret of winning the pen
nant was also contained in the little
satchel. July 18th the Topeka team was
in Oklahoma City. 1t was a Sunday
crowd and the teams were fighting for
first place. Oklahoma City was in the
lead but Topeka only needed to win this
game to fight their way to the top. While
crossing the street car tracks just prior to
entering the park, Cooley saw a horse
shoe lying in the track. I will take this
shoe into the game with me today for
good luck quoth Sir Richard. and forth
with he nut it in his baseball grip. To-
peka went into first place. The shoe was
considered the omen of good luck and af-
ter the game Dick said: Well Just keep
this shoe for awhile and see if we can't
win a few games The shoe today lies
out in the little grip at the club house.
1t has been with the Topeka team in
every town on the circuit save Webb City,
as the team did not reach that town after
finding the horseshoe
Il don't believe in superstitOns." said
one of the players at the game Sunday,
but that little horseshoe was certainly
lucky for US" The horseshoe incident
probably accounts for so many hair
raising finishes which were pulled off all
the way from the ninth to the eighteenth
innings. And it is safe to say that Cooley
will sign this token of good luck for an
othet season.

Every drop of blood in the body

THREE MANAGERS TO GO.

Rumor Says American League May
Have Trio of New Leaders.
New York, Sept. 29.-It would not
be at all surprising if three new man
ayers were seen in the American
league next season. The clubs in ques-
ton are New York, Boston and Chi
cago.
That KID Elberfeld will not be at
the head of the New York Americans
is certainty.
While Fred Lake has been quite
successful with the Boston team, it's
a pretty good bet that he won't be
decorated with the managerial title in
1909.
Last year Fielder Jones announced
his retirement, but it proved but a
wave of hot air. President Comiskey,
of the White Sox, has limited that this
will be the last year of Jones' rule, as
he is determined to give, up the game.
