Baseball Bits From Here and
There on Circuit.

Manager moore Will IOtln the w ASH
burn college team Pitchers Beecher and
Buchanan for the Kaw- -Washburn game
/ tomorrow afternoon and the colleg1-
ates ought to show class enough to
make it a good exhibition game. The
college men have been training out
doors as long as have the Kaws and
with the assistance of league pitchers
will have a good aggregation.
Moore and his men disliked to COM
pete with the regular Washburn tWir-
Ter in the game because OF his color
tone and offered the loan of Beecher
and Buchanan. This slant artist is
Art Hardy, who also is some half back
in the autumn. He is a crack box man
for the college and is eligible among
the schools where athletics are opened
to all students.
Moore is plenty pleased with the con-
dition of the Kaws. 'They look good
to me-" he said today. Now that we
have the infield filed out, big weight
is lifted from my mind The pitching
staff is fine. 1 have much faith in Aid
erman, who has just signed up. NOW,
if I succeed in landing an outfielder
am after, all we have to do is to get
ready for the big show"
Alderman and the manager had a
conference over the long distance yes
terday and Tessie expressed himself as
highly pleased that he would be with
the new Topeka team. The whole
bunch is hard working youngsters with
everything to gain and they undoubt-
edly will fight hard all the way. The
outfielder whom Moore has been trying
to land for some time is Dalton, for
merly with Des Moines but now owned
by the Brooklyn Nationals. Moore him
SELF has tried to keep the Identity or
the man concealed until he either won
or failed in the deal, but stock COM
pany can't keep a secret.
The Kaw outfield for tomorrow will
be Thomason. left; Crompton, center;
Katz and Breitenstein. right.
The infield will be: whitney ana
Sabrie, first; Moore, second; Hopke
short; and Hafford. third.
Syfert, Fugate and Leak will pitch
and Kerns and Hawkins catch.
Washburn will send out McNeish'
Ehman, short; Karns, left; Bowman
center; Bonner. right; Nichols catch
An admission of 25 cents will be
charged.
Bill Breitenstein was around today
for the first time since Ed Walsh was
here. He is good looking once more
and the only complaint he makes is,
81 wish I could eat some meat. This
soup and oatmeal diet is no good"
Barney McGrath has been kept out
of the work for the last few days with
some carbuncle (not Carbondale) pets
on his neck but he has nearly recover
ed and will be at work soon.
McGrath, Alderman, Beecher, Flu
gate, Buchanan, Leak and Syfert make
a pretty nifty looking string of pitch
ers Alderman and Fugate a pair OIL
classy southpaws and the list has var1-
ETY. enough. Ovitz. the Illinois univer-
sity phenom, will not report until June
when the Medic school closes.
Don Despair has added Catcher NC
Graw, last year with Memphis in the
Southern, to his roster buying MIN
from the Chicago White Sox. He Will
fill the place occupied by Kruger pre-
vious to his indefinite suspension for
failure to report.
Baseball fans throughout the so-called
brush are getting wise to the Dig
league exhibitions. Too often they have
gone out to the little local ball yard
expecting to get their eyes full of the
sort of stuff the shining lights deliver
only to find before them bunch of
recruits from the ends of sportdom.
Now they ask for a lineup or pass it
up altogether.
Report has it that Tom Fairw Gather.
resident of the Packer club, is out
practicing with the team for the pur-
