agement of Tony Vanderbilt, the vet
eran catcher, and Tony is doing all
the receiving. Four pitchers will ac-
company the team to Topeka. Doc
Pollard is probably the best on the
staff Doc tried out here last spring
and pitched the opening game of the
season, afterwards going to Joplin on
the trade for Sylvester Olson. Becken-
baugh, a southpaw, was with Joplin
last season. Mershon is another try
out who was with Topeka last spring
during the training season, but who
was quite a bit shy of class. Stewart,
the other pitcher is a new one. Landes,
who debuted as a catcher about the
time Cy Landreth first drifted in. is
playing first and acting as extra
catcher. Mise, with Wichita awhile
last spring, holds the keystone bag.
Ludes, a product of the Central Kan
sas league, is shortstop, while a
youngster. Cochran. plays third. Nc
Kee. Levine and Barnes are in the
outfield. Texas Farrell, who was
traded in the Olson deal. promised to
[ report this spring. but it is said that

Gotch his old hold. Gotch got a crotch
and half Nelson, but Mahmout wriggled
out. The struggle was fast and furious.

Gotch secured the same hold that won
the first fall for hn-a crotch and
half Nelson. Mahmout. realizing the
danger into which he was being pIung-

hold, but it was of no avail. Despite
the Turks great strength and ability
he was pinned to the mat for the final
fall in nine minutes ten seconds.
