the Topeka fans. When the st. Paul
team played here In 1906, Geier played
center Held, and his work received fa-
Voraole comment from the local rams.
Has Interesting History.
AS a baseball player Geier has an in
teresting history. He entered the big
league arena at Philadelphia In 1sSf'
when DICK Cooley was captain OF the
team. When his work first attracted
attention he was with the ran RlVer
team in the Eastern league. Billy Nash,
PnlIadelph1a's manager, wanted good
outnelder. and he had heard much OF
IGeier. He made overtureS to the Fan
River management for Geier. He made
an offer of a cool thousand dollars Tor
Geier which was turned down The Fail
River owners, however. made coun-
ter-offer to sell him for $1,000, and prom
ised to throw in a youngster to clinch
the bargain This was a Dig price TO
pay in those days for minor league
recruit, but it was accepted.
A few days later the Fall River mag
nate delivered the goods Geier appear
ed at Philadelphia, and along with MIN
came young unknown recruit, Napo-
leon La Joie. La Joie was at that time
tie bit in most any position, but his
work was rough and awkard no matter
where he was put.
A day or two after Geier and La
Joie arrived the team on an off day
played an exhibition game at Atlantic
City. La Joie was stuck on first.
'It was certainly a sight to watch La
Joie play that day." said DICK Cooley
this morning, in talking about his new
player. ''Everyb body on the team took a
notion to show him up. We had fell
low Shugart playing shortstop VINO
had terrible arm. He would put on
all he could and shoot the ball at La
JOie's shins, but the tail awkward KID
would pick them off the ground with one
hand. We just couldn't throw Dali
past him. He didn't get hit that day
though.
"a few days later his chance came.
Doyle, our first baseman was SICK ana
La Joie was the only man to play hrst.
I was an outfielder then. We stuck
him in and he pulled off some great
fielding stunts but he was awkward and
his work looked like an accident all the
time But he didn't seem to. hit. He
played seven straight days without get
ting even SO much as a ground bail past
the infield. On the eighth day he seem
ed to have an awakening. The first time
up he cracked out a double to left cen
ter. After that all pitchers We're easy
for him, and he couldn't be stopped IN
his hitting. Well. all that remains TO
say is that he has kept up his hitting
ever since. And he has developed into
one of the most graceful felderS that
has ever performed in the majors Ana
to think that he was just thrown IN TO
make a bargain"
Geier got his chance with the Ph1ll1es
at the same time and made good. he
staved there three seasons, after which
he was sold to Boston where he played
several years. From Boston he dropped
hack to ST. Paul where he has Deen
playing for the past five years. ST.
Paul wasn't anxious to sell him, but
Geier wanted to get loose. He had
played there until he was tired of the
town. For that reason Cooley got him.
but had to put up a pretty good price.

Cooley HasPurchased PhilGeler,
an Outfielder, From st. Paul.
Is a Fast Fielder and a Good Bat
ter, Can Also Play Sunfield.
ONCE In BIG LEAGUES.
Philadelphia When Cooley Was
Captain Bought Him.
Came From Fall River With
La J0ie Thrown In.

Phil Geier, who is recognized as one
of the fastest outfielders and best hit
ters in minor league baseball, has been
purchased from st. Paul by Dick Cooley.
Cooley expended a neat little sum of
money in getting this player too.
Ge1er should make a great man for
the Topeka team. He is not only an
outhelder but can play any infield posi-
ton with credit, and should Cooley need
MIN on the inner works he will be shift
ed. Ge1er is short man, built about
like Bob Bandy of the Oklahoma City
team, but he is a little heavier, not the
loose f1abhy flesh but solidly built with
not an ounce of superf1uous avoirdupois.
Cooley has known Geier ever since he
has been in baseball and is more than
pleased with his purchase.
A little of the dope on this new man
might not be amiss. In 1907 while with
st. Paul he was shifted to shortstop,
where he played 101 games. His fielding
average was .906 which is not bad for a
shortstop. Shortstops, who are good
felders too frequently fall below the 800
kind who has played SO long that he is
not afraid of an error and goes after
everything In sight. During 1907 he
played 80 games in the Outfield where
he accumulated an average of $3.50, maxi
ing only one error during the 80 games.
That season he hit 288. This was the
year that Cooley was with Louisville,
and he says that during that season
Geier was feared more than any Amer
lean Association batter by the Louis
vile pitchers.
Last season Geier also had a good
year. He had a fielding average of .95I.
AS an outfielder he secured POI putouts,
Is assists, and made IL errors. During
the 147 games in which he played he
scored 70 runs, 151 hits. averaging 1856
He secured SO two-baggers, 4 three-bag-
gers, and l home run. He also purloin-
ed u stolen bases. Geier is recognized
as a good inside player and always ac-
cumulates a number of sacrifice hits
and stolen bases during the season.
Geier may be remembered by some of

TO OPEN AT HOME.
Green's Changes in the Schedule Re-
ported Adopted.

EOAeCu 1AuOkptCus
Advfces received indirectly from
PRESIDENT O'Neill, announce a change
In the schedule. the change which was
provided by Guy Green, owner of the
Lincoln team. According to this
schedule Topeka will open the season
at home with Lincoln instead of open
ing at Lincoln. This will do away
with the transfer of a later Lincoln
series to Topeka, and will necessitate
the long trip of twenty-eight games in
May and June.
This, however, is not SO bad. The
worst part about the new change will
be that Topeka will have to jump
from Sioux City to Topeka, Sunday,
September 5, for one game with Lin
coin, and then go to Lincoln for a
double header on Monday. The
changed schedule gives Cooley an
additional Sunday at home which
evens up for the undesirable features.
The changes which were suggested
by Mr.. Green are as follows:
Wichita at Lincoln, September
2-3-4
Topeka at Sioux City. September
2-3-4
wichita at Sioux City. September
5-6-6.
Lincoln at Topeka, April 29-S0-May
I. September 5.
Topeka at Lincoln, September 6-6-7.
July % open for Topeka and Lin

Kansas City Gets StopOyer PriYi-
leges ON All Roads.
Tickets viii Favor That City
After April /.
is AHEAD OF CHICAGO.
This New Order Also Includes
Tourist Rates.
Other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.

Kansas City March 17.-Kansas City
is to be a stopover point for passen-
gers travelling on through tickets after
April 1. This privilege has been grant
ed by the Western Passenger associa-
tfon. The order is that a stopover of
ten days will be allowed here on all
tickets. This applies to the colonist
rates now in force to Pacific coast
points; the homeseekers rate effective
the first and third Tuesdays in each
month; the allyear tourist rates eff
fective June 1, and all other special one
way or round trip rates that are now or
may later be in force. The order is ef-
fective the first week in April.
Ever since the more or less rigid
regulation that followed the enforce
nent of the Hepburn bill there has
been an effort on the part of several
cities to obtain stopover privileges,
especially cities in the direct path of
transeontinental traffic. Few cities
have succeeded. The railroads general
the cities and have only put in the
stOpover privilege when there was an
insistent demand of the travelling pub
lie for the stopover.
Chicago does not have the stopover
privilege and it was only recently that
Denver and St. Louis obtained the
privilege. The railroads that have con-
CURED in the order include the Union
Pacific. the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cifc. Chicago & Alton, the St Louis &
San Francisco, the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy, the Kansas City Southern,
the Wabash, the Chicago Milwaukee
& St. Paul, the Missouri Pacific, the
Chicago Great Western. the st. Joseph
& Grand Island, and probably the
Katy" The following regulation has
been made:
In order to obtain stopover ticket
must be deposited with joint agent at
Kansas City union depot within twen-
ty-four hours after arrival in Kansas
City. for which receipt will be given,
and when passenger is ready to resume
journey, within ten days from the day
ticket is deposited, receipt should be
presented to joint agent, who will re-
turn ticket to original owner and ex-
tend the transit limit of the ticket by
paSter contract.
