GEIER DEAL GOES.
Former TOpekan Is Now Hunt
ing for Players.
COOley's Price for Release Is
Not Known.
ON TRAIL OF NEW ONE.
Local Manager Has Fast Second
Baseman in Sight.
A Deal for an Outffelder Is in
Progress.

While the price Cooley asked for
the release of Phil Geier has not been
paid it will likely be paid over soon
as Geier is already hunting new play
ers for the Burlington team in the
Central association. Sporting Life
this week contains a Washington let
ter which refers to his new place and
his hunt for material to strengthen
the team of which he will have charge
next year. And so it is that Topeka
will lose one of the best outfielders
that has ever played on the local dia-
mond.
No one dislikes to see Geier go
more than Cooley himself but Geier
wants to try managing the Burlington
team. A managers berth means an
increase in salary for the clever out
fielder, besides an opportunity to
make reputation as manager and
Cooley has never held a player oack
He could sell Geier for twice the
money asked of the outfielder for his
own release but wants to do every
thing to assist Phil rather than hold
him back. And so it is that Geier
will not be seen swinging his war
club at League park next year
Cooley expects to close a contract
for second baseman for next year's
team within a few years. He is now
in correspondence with a clever and

Frankfort, Kan, Dec. lit looks
now as if this city would sure get an
electric light plant in her Christmas
stocking. or at least the contract for
one, which is just as good. D. "A.
Steiner of Bern. Kan, met with the
mayor and city council and stated to
them that he was ready to meet all
the requirements of the franchise as
offered by the city and was ready to
sign up the contract.

that the deal has not been completed

fast second sacker, whose identity can
not now be divulged, but who has
played baseball in the south. The
new player, if he. comes, is a
youngster, is declared to be fast and
furious and a great improvement
over the second sacker of last year.
1t is believed the deal will soon be
completed.
Correspondence with a number Of
men looking to securing a player to
take Geier's place is now on and there
are two or three trades hanging fire.
1t is declared that in case any of them
go through, a crack outfieider VIII be
secured. Kahl, who played second
base last year, will probably be used
in the trade for a new Outfielder.
Some deal will probably be arranged
by the first of the year so that with
the beginning of 1910 there will be no
worry over who will play second base
and it will be known who will try for
Geier's old place.
Hendricks, who is to manage Den
yer next year. is we'll known by local
baseball players. Jack" Henry
played for him for a while last year.
1t is not yet known whether or not

makes up for his managerial mis-
takes.
