The Salina team has game sched-
uled Ger May 31,which will be generally
observed as Memorial day this season.
The directors were worried as the Kan
sas laws prohibit playing games on
memorial day and after consulting
some legal talent have decided that the
game can be played on the 31st. How
ever the game will be played at an
hour that will not conflict with the old
soldiers.
Many of the c. K and Kansas State
league papers have declared that with
Armstrong at the head the Junction
City team will carry Off first honors in
the G. X. circuit. Army is some man
ager all right, all right.
Lee Gramley has a good bunch 10
start off with in Brooks, Hayes, Rich
ardson, Allingham and himself. Gram
ley played with the Western associa-
ton and Missouri Valley teams for sew
eral years and is a rafting good play
er. Allingham is catcher who was
with Joplin for short time last sea-
son. He looked pretty good.
OF the Kansas State league teams,
Great Bend must not be overlooked
This western town is keyed up to a
high pitch of enthusiasm and will not
stand for poor team. And the di-
rectors of the club are overlooking no
chances for improvement. Watch Great
Bend.
Out at Newton the fans are still dis
ager on the league. Newton is strong
for her own Harlow, while Hutchinson
is putting odds on Bill link. Better
watch out for Bill link and his big
willow The tall ungainly looking one,
is still remembered in Topeka for his
long distance wallops which were in
terpolated in many games at the
psychological moment.
Lee Gram1ey has signed one good
player in Evan Richardson, an Aggie
vile, Kan, and while in that town
gained a great reputation even when a
small kid. He is small for his age, but
can play either the infield or outfield
and can hit consistently.
Manager Depew Is working hard with
his Mcpherson team and expects to
land high in the Kansas State league
race.
That Arkansas City bunch must have
been going some Sunday, when the
for extra innings, and was unable to do
more than to tie the score.
L. G. Haynes, a K. S. A c. player,
has come to terms with Manager
Gramley of Clay Center.
Judging from the way Ebright's Jay
hawkers trimmed the Nebraska Corn
huskers last week, Ebrigat would do
well to take some of his team to Beloit
when the Central Kansas season opens.
The Minneapolis managers and di-
ISClOIS are kcSPlIS q Sl1Il upper I'D On
the plans of that club. Most of the
other towns are worrying at the
silence
Armstrong, Junction City's manager,
is now playing first base on Johnny
Kings Kansas City semipros.
Chick Wing, well known profess
sional player of Newton, wanted a job
of umpiring in the Kansas State, but
when he found out that the salaries for
such a job were low he turned down
his application.
Up to date Adolph Wind of Emporia,
a well known player. has signed with
none of the Kansas league teams.
What a blue town Blue Rapids will
be this season Ditto Frankfort The
proposition of getting a team which
would beat the other town proved too
much of a financial drain on the town
The Manhattan papers are not telling
very much about the plans of the team
in that town. Most of the other towns
in the state do not even know who the
Manhattan manager Is.
