Quigley's foxy Irish lads of ST. Marys
get the first game with the Ikaws Sun
day. Moore received letter from Quig
last evening offering either Sunday or
Monday and as soon as it was learned
game could be played in time to catch
return train. the date was scheduled.
This game will give the Kaws four
straight as the Chicago White Sox play
three games here commencing Mon
day.
A new pitcher has been added to the
Topeka redSkin list. He is A A Kauf-
man of Terra Haute, Ind, and is a dis
covery of Zeke Moore. brother of the
manager and formerly a scout for ma
jor clubs Zeke persuaded his brother
the man was a conner and he was sent
contract. Mr.. Kaufman seemed to be
bent toward Zeke Moore's belief in
himself and he wrote back that he
was on his way with his wife. He is
just that sure of making good. He is
big fellow, six feet and two inches
tall, whips them with his right wing
and is said to have everything a slab
artist could ask.
By the end of the week all the In
dams signed and most of the holdouts
ought to have arrived. Larry Quinlan
is on his way to Topeka, though he
has not signed and Kerns and Nc
Grath are here looking over their pros
poets of a higher stipulation. A new
State, has been engaged by the man
agement and is on his way to work
out while Starnagle and Kerns think it
over.
Albert Thomson arrived today in
the best of condition ready to burn
up the league and leave it. The class
lest bunch to arrive in one day came in
yesterday and numbered Billy Breiten-
stein, Eddie Sabre. Roy Beecher and
j. Buchanan. The appearance of the
Turn NIT oE 49,
make the box staff show up to good
advantage. Buchanan was out timber
ing up yesterday but Beecher did not
arrive in time.
Sabre Is Here.
Sabre has his first workout here
this afternoon, though he has been
training with the majors at Hot
Springs. Merit Whitney, the other can
didate for first base was out yester-
day in a uniform and looked as big az
a house. He clouts the ball most VIC
iously of any of the reported players
and is said. seldom to play a game
with a homer or two. Here is going to
be a hard task for Little Mr.. Moore.
He has two mighty good men for first
and he is going to have to say who
gets it.
The weather yesterday was almost
too cold to whip up but many of the
players were swapping them across the
diamond Just like July. Hopke and
good in their practice. They both are
clean muscular men with whole lot of
recommendations. Around the A. A.
Hopke is known as a gingerly infield-
er whom any club might give a berth
to advantage and Crompton narrowly
missed the big show by being hooked
on by the Cincinnati Reds where no
outfielder has a chance to break in.
Soldier Leak and Barney McGrath
let out their arms in spite of the wealth
er and were putting the stuff on them
in the practice hitting. Buchanan lin
bered up also and though he appears
to have lot of loosening up to do,
the veteran shows he knows what a
ball game is as far as he can scent
one He has habit of singing the
ball too and others who knew him in
his PALMER days say he was one of the
best when family sickness and hard
luck overlook him, upsetting his nerve.
Now, they say, he is back with new
lease of life and that there is no doubt
