release was that he had plenty of pitch
ers who looked good enough for the
W. L. M
Kansas university's baseball team
viii be here for game April g., the
arrangements having been completed
Tuesday.
The St. Louis Browns have decided
not to come this way and hence the
chances of a series with that team are
off The Browns were unable to make
a IS schedule n ss1d through Kansas, all the
ing been taken by, other clubs.
Catcher Schmidt of the Detroit
| Tigers is evidently through with base
ball and viii make good his declared
| intentions of not returning to the
American league pennant winners
| Schmidt sent his bat to Manager Jen-
nings a few days ago, and the latter
thinks that Schmidt is in earnest in
his holdout intentions. Schmidt is
of interest to Topeka fans for he once
played in the old Missouri Valley
| league with the Springfield club and
was favorite here.
Des Moines has new shortstop
| who answers to the name of Oyler.
| He is a brother of Andy Oyler of the
Minneapolis American association
team, and played with Webb City for
PEELED to quit the game on account of
| injuries.
Red Downs left with the Washing
ton team last night. Red is a good
hard working player and should make
good man for the Minneapolis in
field. The Millers should have a
formidable bunch with Warren Gill
on first, Red Downs second, Andy
Oyler short and Jimmy Collins at
third.
Cooley is well satisfied with the
showing which his colts have made
thus far. with q little figuring and
shifting with my present bunch,'' says
| Dick, 81 will be able to turn out a
pected.'
Jay Andrews would certainly be
lying awake nights if he could only
see Young Cullen perform at third
base. Cullen is one of the most high
| ly polished young infielders who have
been seen here in many seasons. and
Cooley thinks he will make a great
third sacker.
Scott, the young pitcher who comes
from Illinois. certainly looks q 8 though
he was Juggling the merchan disc. The
youngster has made about as favorable
an impression with the local fans as
any of them. He formerly pitched for
the Kansas university team.
Maxey is out of the game for few
days with a sore hand, where the too
frequent contact with pitched balls
has swelled the ligaments.
Guy Green's youngsters are not to
report before the end of the week but
already there is a bunch on hand.
Maxwell. a young outfielder, Captain
Fox. Johnson and Evans. pitchers,
Willet. an outfie1der. and Smith a third
| sacker, are already on hand.
/ Lincoln is making considerable i'm
provement on her grandstands and
! grounds.
| Mr.. Danberry has made his influence
| felt on the Topeka grounds already.
! The local grounds have never been in
as good condition as they are now and
Danberry says that he is not through
! with them yet.
| BY batting rally in the fourth in
| ming last Sunday, the Pueblo team won
| from the Denver Yannigans by a score
| of to 5. The Denver team is divided;
part of the team being at home and
the remainder now on tour through
! Kansas.
Red Downey, who played with the
Webb City and Oklahoma City teams
| last season, will be back with the Nets
! this year.
The Wichita Beacon says that If
Holland needs help he has the Kansas
City, Detroit and Chicago White Sox
| teams to select from. By the time he
! gets to select, however, the picking
will be pretty slim. Wichita is depend
| ing on Comiskey for an inf1elder and a
southpaw pitcher
The man who has been sitting with
the Washington nlayers, wearing a
green hat and a black suit is not the
! owner of the teams, as some may have
| imagined. He is native.
| Dick, Walter Queiser. O'Leary and
| Baerwald are former Western associa-
ton players who are with the Mem
phis team in the Southern league.
Here are three names which the
| Wichita papers say will be regulars on
the pitching staff-Westcott, Shaner
and Clark.
| Wait until Ducky Holmes hears of
| Danny Green getting four hits out of
! five times up and handling seven flies
in the outfield.
