BoLEs JOINS THE BLUES.
The Former Topeka Player Passed
Through on Way to Kansas City.

utility man on the Topeka team last
season and portions of two other
seasons, passed through Topeka sun

noon. When seen by the sporting
editor of the State Journal, Boles ex-
pressed his determination to play
baseball this season. ST am going to
ask Tebeau to send me to Fort Worth
if he will. / am doing pretty well in
the law business there and wish TO
play where 1 can sort of look after
business on the side. You can't blame
me for it. I won't be ball player all
Of my life, but 1 expect to be a law
year, and one must look to the future.
If I can't go to Fort Worth I would
be glad to play with Dick this season.
Dick is the kind of a manager that

this season than I did a year ago.
feel as though I could play a great
game, and no matter where Cross puts
me, am going to try and do my best.
My thumb is all right again, and am
in fine condition. 1 caught game for
Fort Worth against the st. Louis
that I am in good condition.
Abbott and Forester are both at
Fort Worth and are doing well. Abb
bott has no competition and will stick
all right. Forester was there last
season and is counted one of the best
pitchers on the team"
Boles looks much better than he did
last season, and one would think that
the law business carried some pretty
good eating with it. Here's hoping
that he is not needed in Kansas City
and that he comes back to Topeka.

on the part of the city council, (both
of which were unimportant as far as
dollar and cents is concerned) it was
necessary to bring up at the last spec

ten resolutions to grant the contract for
cement guttering West Eighth avenue
from Harrison to Kansas avenue to
Luttjohan & Folks, and the contract
for hauling and removing the old as
phalt from West Sighth street to John
Ritche. The former firm gave the low

went to Ritchie. But the minor auxil-
