first in the fifth heat. As it was I'M
der the regulations of the local track
ali races were to be finished in five
heats. This gave the Wichita horse
first money.
Frank Fosters Happy Jack after
going a three heat race Friday in the
2:30 trot and winning fourth money,
started again Saturday in the 2:19
trot and made a better account of
himself by winning third money. He
showed himself to be horse of
wonderful endurance, and it is the
opinion of the horsemen here, that
he will give still better account Of
himself after he has had a few more
races. He has been trained by o. D.
Hart, the veteran Topeka reinsman,
who drove him in his races here.
Mr.. Hart also placed second money
to the credit of another Topeka horse
in the 1924 trot. His mare, Corinne
LudIum, seemed to be placed second
with ease in this trot.

Baseball fans and followers alike
through the west and in fact all parts
that Jake Beckley, veteran first base
man of the minor and major leagues,
had been appointed manager of the
Kansas City club of the American as
ISOLATION. Just now he is laid up
with malariaI fever, but sticks with
the club. Jake has been playing ball
for rs years, and during all that time
has made a wonderful record in the
minor and major leagues, and it is
with some satisfaction that he now
assumes the role of manager.
He succeeded Monte Cross, the
former shortstop of the Philadelphia
American league club.
Beckley was born in Hannibal. Mo-.
August 4, 1857, and is now nearly AZ
years old. He started to play as a
professional in 1885 with the Leaven-
worth (Kan.) club, and in the spring
of 1887 was sold to the Lincoln (Neb.)
club. After finishing the season
there he played through the winter
of 1887 at Stockton, Cal, where he
made quite a record for himself. In
1888 he was secured by the st. Louis
Whites, there being two teams in st.
Louis at that time, the Browns and
the Whites. On June % Of that year
he was sold to the. Pittsburg club of
and famous players of those days.
Beckley remained with the Pitts
burg club until 1896, when he was
sold to the New York Giants. In
1897 he was sold by New York to the
Cincinnati Reds, and he remained
with them until 1903. when he was
sold to the St. Louis National league
club. He played there until 1907,
when George Tebeau bought his re-
lease, and played him with the Kan
sas City club, where he is still play
ing.
Beckley was also considered a great
batter and during his long career in
the major league he always batted
near 800 or over. 1t is a remarkable
record when one stops to consider
that this man has been playing big
league ball % years. During the
spring Tebeau of the Kansas City club
secured a young hrst-baseman, and
tried to hold Beckley as utility
player. but it soon became evident
that Beckley was far superior to the
youngster both in the field and in bat
ting. Captain Arson of the Chicago
National club has always been con-
sidered a grand old man of baseball
but still his record as a player does
not shine much brighter than that of
4 BecKIav.
