SHOW GOOD WORK
Playing of Topeka Team Has
Bettered During Past Week.
Slight improvement Made in
Batting and Fielding.
REILLY HITTING 500.
Gel er Real Leader in Smuggling
Since Fenlon's Departure.
The COOleysox Among Leag
Leaders in Defensive Works
SATURDAY.

The Western league championship
season is one week nearer an end
and the Topeka team seems to be go
ing better every week. The work OF
the team in both the offensive and
defensive work, the batting and field
ing departments shows a slight i'm
provement over that of last week
The batting has improved one point.
not very much to be sure, but enough
to prove an omen of better work to
follow before the team leaves the
home battlefield. The fielding-in
which Topeka ranks we'll towards the
top-shows better gain of two
points. This isn't much, but two
points at this time of the season for
a whole weeks work isn't a bad rec
ord.
A new leader has been found in
batting1 one who will take the place
of Art Fen1on who left the team at
the head of the batting class. This
Reilly man has done good work since
joining Topeka and has delivered one
at bat. Boles is cracking the ball
good too. Good for Walter. Fenlon
was the real leader of the club in
hitting when he left, but now that he
belong to Captain Geier who has been
a consistent slugger all season.
Wooley and Geier, the first two
men up, lead in the number of times
at bat. Kunkel comes next, then
Fenlon and Kahl and Kerns. Looks
something like the batting order
doesn't it. Wooley and Geier still
lead in the number of runs each hav-
ing scored sixty-four. Fenlon is but
one behind, and would probably have
been ahead had he played the entire
week.
There are only three players on tho
team who have one hundred hits up
to date. Wooley has acquired just
that number, while Geier and Fenlon
are tied with 119 each.
Abbott by virtue of his position
gets the most putouts. having 461 to
his credit. The first baseman always
gets about rs a week and that helps
out the general average. Kahl and
Anderson are tied for leadership in
the assist column, each having .253,
the majority of Anderson's however
having been cleaned under Wichita
colors. In errors Anderson claims
supremacy with his importation Of
Wichita mistakes. Kunke1 Is a close
second and Kahl is within the money
In total chances Kahl leads with SIS.
The work for the season inclusive
of the past week is shown in the fol-
lowing carefully compiled figures:

Again the question arises, is a player
success as a manager? Before he as
sumed the duties at Cleveland Lajoie
never failed to hit we'll over 300. Since
then he has fallen off both in hitting
and fielding, with the managerial wOr-
ries. Now, after three seasons he has
given it up and wants simply to play
his best to give Cleveland a winner.
Lajoie will come back now and be the
great player of former years. He is
hitting well and will go better.
Too many cooks is the trouble ar
Cleveland. Jim Mcclure was hired as
assistant manager early last winter
He took the place. This may be tile
cause for Cleveland's trouble.
Lajoie Joined the. Cleveland team iii
1902, jumping from the Philadelphia
National league team to come here and
play second base. In 1904 he succeeded
VIM. Armour as manager of the club.
It has been reported that he received
a salary Of $4,000 a year.

Notes of the Game.

Alderman is a much better pitcher
than he was four years ago when he
was with the locals. He doesn't use
as much stuff, but has all he needs and
has this under control. Tessie had a
try with Pittsburg once, but he will,
be up in the big show again in a year
or two.
Thomson was the first local to get a
hit. It was a triple. He also got an
other near triple, but was caught at
third. Thomson was also credited
with a siro1A and should have had an
other single had not Glenalvin made
poor decision.
Bob KahI was on the firing line Of
two double plays which helped Thorn
ason in the early part of the game.
Kiddo Wilson, Ducky'S new pitcher,
worked out before the game and
showed some classy merchandise.
lucky looks like the best bid for that
pennant yet. despite his present posi-
ton in the race.
With WEIGH at the bat in the fifth
and Address on third, the squeeze was
tried. WEIGH failed to hit and Kunkel
and Kerns caught Andreas on the hnc.
