BELOIT-KEARNEY LINE

Kansas City, March 24.-Two railroad
lines projected from Nebraska to the
Gulf of Mexico are being promoted in
Kansas City. Progress has been made
with both lines to the extent that sur
veys have been made for a part of each
and contracts have been let for con-
struction
The Nebraska, Kansas & Southern
railroad is projected to run from Su-
perior, Neb., to the Gulf Part of the
system is between Garden City, Kan,
and Stockton, Kan, a distance of 162
miles. The contract for the construc-
tion of the line between Garden City
and Stockton has been let. The line
has been graded for 15 miles east of
Garden City and ties and rails have
been purchased to build that part of the
north from Stockton to Superior, Neb.
and south from Garden City to the
Gulf.
The BeIOit- -Kearney Cutoff.
The second railroad is to be built
from Kearney, Neb., by way of Beloit,
Kan, to the Gulf 1t will be known as
the Dakota, Kansas & Gulf railroad. 1t
is the purpose OF the promoters to build
the line north to South Dakota The
contract for the construction of this line
from Beloit to Kearney has been let
The new road will reach the towns of
Lebanon, Bellaire and Smith Center
The promoters purpose to complete the
road in two years. The Offices of the
two companies are in the Dwight build
ing.
SaIina Believes the Report.
Saina, Kan, March M.-For some
time there has been report here that
the Union Pacific railroad was prepar-
ing to build a north and south line, and
it has been strengthened by the fact
that the company has purchased large
tract of land near this city and is ac-
cumulatings railroad ties. Almost mil
lion ties are on the ground now and
more are being brought to the city by
the trainload.
The Union Pacific railroad has line
now from Beloit, Kan, to Solomon,
Kan, that connects with the main line
between Denver and Kansas City at the
latter place The main line passes
through Salina, Kan. The company also
has a line from this city south to Nc
Pherson, and it is reported that the Nc
Pherson branch is to be made a part
of the main line from the north to the
Gulf.

job. Hughes, Kelley, Groom and
Grany do the work in the box. Groom
was with Springfield in the w A. for
several seasons.
The Yannigans will play here Sat
urday and Sunday.
Real Nationals Here Monday.
Monday the regular team with Joe
Cantillon in charge will be here. By
that time the locals will be ready for a
little sitter proposition and will prob
at least one from the Nationals.
The line of the senior bunch is
much the same as the regular lineup
for the season will be. Street and
Warner do the catching. Burns,
and Smith formerly of the western
association, and Johnson are some of
the pitchers who are likely to take a
chance at the locals. Jerry Freeman,
who has somewhat of reputation as
a home run hitter will play first; IN
glaub, second; Conroy third, and Nc
Bride, short. In the outfield will be
found Clymer, Milan, and Ganley.
Clyde Milan who once played with
Wichita strained an ankle a few days
ago and may not be able to play.
Blankenship is taking his place. Ton
nehill is working with the team plug
ging up the holes when needed
With these two teams here, the To-
Gals should get a pretty good start on
the season of 1909, and Manager Cool
ley will have a pretty good line of the
comparative merits of his different
players, enough so that he can pick a
regular lineup for the other practice
games which are to follow.

KERN WILL REPORT.
Texas League Backstop Decides to
Come to Terms

Butch" Kern. the catcher whom
Cooley secured from Dallas in the
Texas league by the draft route, and
who threatened to desert and not
play has come into the fold like lit
tie lamb. Kern wanted more money
and several other things which Cooley
was not disposed to grant, as they
were unreasonable. Last week when
the transportation was mailed to the
other players, Kern received a little
note to the effect that he was to re-
port with the rest, and to be in good
condition or that he would have to
suffer the consequences. Kern re-
piled saying that he would come just
as soon as his transportation arrived,
that he is in good condition and that
he will give Topeka the best he has
this year. The tone of the letter was
commendable in the extreme, and the
unpleasant correspondence will soon
be forgotten. Kern was with Leaven-
worth for awhile three or four years
ago, but has since then become some-
what of a catcher, and last season
was regarded as the best in the Texas
circuit.

LOCALS HARD AT WORK.
Four More Players on Hand and First
Real PRACTICE Took. Place.

With four more of the players on
hand, Cooley and his baseball hands
put in two good hours of practice
Tuesday afternoon. Cole, Nagel, Long
and Beltz were new faces present for
the first time. The practice for the
first time took real definite form, with
both infielders and outfielders work.
ing in position.
Beltz was the only member of the
squad who did not work By some
mistake his trunk did not reach To-
peka when he did, and his baseball
shoes and other indispensable para
phernalia were not available. But the
others enjoyed themselves and worked
up pretty good sweat.
Two Promising Players.
All of the players showed up we'll
real hits of the afternoon and one
which made a deep impression on his
majesty Sir Richard was the way
young Long clouted the ball. Long is
from Tulsa in the old Ok league. He
is a southpaw and hits them from the
south side of the plate. With Hendrix
and Hall dishing them up, the little
fellow stepped into the ball in great
shape and hammered Cooley's new.
Spaldings to the far corners of Skene' s
park, where the practice took place
Another bit of gladness for Mr..
Cooley was the fielding of Nagel, who
was here for a short time last fall
Nagel has an arm that is in midseason
form and his fielding is right on the
heels of that of Emory Olson. The
little fellow picked them up with one
hand, covered a world of territory and
then shot the ball over to first in a way
that made the Boss want to stop prac-
tice.
The Players Lined Up.
The infield in the practice worked
fine, with Cooley on first, Downs at sec
ond, Nagel filling the shortfield. and
Hall covering third. All sorts of stunts
were pulled off, including imaginary
triple and quadruple plays. Every
player seemed to have acquired the
full use Of his arm.
In the outfeld, Cole at left, Fenlon
in center and Long in right, spent a
full hour getting their lamps trimmed
on the probable course of a long hit
and getting their hands accustomed to
the sudden contact with the ball.
1t Pleased the Big Boss.
"It was a good workout for u.s.
said Sir Richard on the way in from
the park. 81 am certainly convinced
that the team will round to in good
shape. I was much impressed with
the way Long and Nagel went at the
practice work. Long meets a ball as
hard as any youngster that 1 ever saw.
and he will give many of the other
helders hard fight for their places.
Just because a man has done good
work in the past, is no reason that he
will play on the Topeka team this
