Base Ball
Dope
Fans are getting In
the game In earnest
Manager signed and
grounds purchased.

honday evening, Ed l.. Chapman
on behalf of the base ball man.
agement, announced that Mr.. R.
A. Killing of St, Louis would
manage the Great Bend ball team
the coming season.
This announcement com S as a
good piece of news to the fans
here, as King has the reputa-
ton Of not only being a first
class player himself. but also has
the knack of getting all the work
out of a player he has in him.
and has developed a number of
young players who have made
good in the fastest kind of COM
pany. King has played with an,
managed some of the best teams
In the Three | and also the West.
ern Leagues, and the management
Is to be congratulated on Secur-
ing the services of so good a
man.
Mr.. Chapman has been in cor
respOndence with King ever sine
this league was first organized,
and after a good deal of urging,
coupled with the offer of a good
salary, finally managed to get
him to sign contract. He will
report for duty April lst, and in
the meantime will be on the look
out for a bunch of fast players,
and he writes he has several al.
ready on the srting who will un-
doubtedly be able to make good.
A four acre tract of ground ly
Ing just east of the Roosevelt
school building was purchased
from Moses Bros, by the manage
ment, and the neew ball park vii
be laid out there. This is just
south from the cd grounds, is on
much higher ground, well dra;na'
eed. and will make a first class
place for a ball park. Is reaso'-
ably close to the business ceen-
tr of tn city, beeing but seveen
blocks from Main street and has
a niece grove of trees along the
west side. The grand sand will
probably be eercteed on the nortI
west corner of the grounds with
the bleachers extending TO the
south. The price paid for the
land was 5000.
Great Bend expects TO have {
first-class ball team the coming
season and will endeavor to give
the fans the worth of their mon
ey. The management is working
hard with that end in view;
they have already spent much
time and money, and they should
have the hearty support and en-
cOuragement of all of our citi-
zens in this matter. 1t is not
a money making graft. the man.
agement do not expect 10 get ricl
out of the deal, and past exper-
fence has proven that they will
do well to break even on the deal
but they are satisfied that they
can deliver to the patrons of
the game a first-class quality of
base ball if everyone will get out
and push. Let everyone help the
boys along, it's better to be a
booster than knocker, anyway.

The new President and Mrs. Taft have
always allowed for the development of
the individuality of each of their chill
dren. In her close personal attention to
her home and the upbringing of her chill
dren Mrs Taft comes pretty near being
a model housewife, but for all that she
has ever exercised the closest supervision
over the schooling of her children and
other main essentials of their training,
she has not made the mistake of hedging
them about with what might perhaps be
called snperfiuous precautions. The result

regularly in the White House back yard.

of that strenuous clan, was captain. Now
it CHANGED that one fine day Charlie Taft
