Holyrood is clamoring for admission
| in the State --~~ue. This season the
town has supported a strong amateur
team which has won fourteen out of
sixteen games played and which drew
good crowds all season During the
tournament in that town during the
latter part of July baseball proved q
good money maker.
The race in the Central Kansas Is
pretty close between Ellsworth and Sa-
lima. Salina had a big lead ten days
ago. but recent reverses cut it down.
Qulgley is trying hard. however and is
entitled to it in one way from being
the best town in the circuit.
Estel Single Barley has left Topeka

Hassler lost his first game in several
weeks at LYONS Thursday when tbs
Wellington team won by a score of 1
to 0.
It's a wonder that some of those
scouts haven't picked up Routt of the
Mcpherson team who has the credit

Wellington News: The question Of
manager for next year is one now OF
interest Many are in favor of Mason.
If Mason would be allowed to pick his
own team and in this way get rid of all
dissension. we believe he would make
good. There is some talk of trying to
secure Walter Frantz for manager anc
Catcher Pinkerton is also being consid-
cred
Masters. the Junction City catcher
who was injured a couple of weeks ago,
is getting better and will return to the
job some time next week
Mike Ahern. the coach of the Kansas
Aggies at Manhattan, is handling the
indicator temporarily in the c. K cir
cult and is considered the fairest Of

Manhattan Mercury: Owner West
made a deal last ni~ht whereby Center
Fielder Davis of Clay Center and Me-
ers the ex-Clay Center utility man, be-
come his property. Outfelder Barnes |
was traded for Davis. Meyers was
bought outright and will play second |
base. As both Davis and Meyers are |
heavy hitters and Barnes had not been
going very good lately. this will greatly |
strengthen the West bunch
Surely run will materialize from an |
order like Davis, Stewart, Meyers ant
Wilson
Bob CasSelI has been secured to re- |
ceiTe one of the games today so that
the outheld would not be so greatly
Weak ened by the loss of Stewart
