What would have been the score had
the team quit as quickly and complete
ly as the fans in the grandstand?
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-05-02

Kaws are men who have showed
in smaller leagues that they have the
goods, and they are fighters all the
time.
Although the Denver men maintain
that Topeka is more unpreferable
(Which means less preferably than
Wichita. the arrival of the capital city
of the glorious Kaw commonwealth
was more pleasant. The team awoke
Saturday morning to find their car IN
the Topeka yards and drove to the
hotel and breakfast. Bright and early
in the forenoon appeared representa-
tiveS of the Journal, the city'S evening
paper, to welcome the Grizzlies to the
Kaw. That seemed more like it. At
Wichita the Bears received the well
New York, which can hardly be charac-
terized as an overwhelming effusion in
the welcome line. But in Topeka things
were different, and the papers mention
that Denver's club was in town.
1t may be because the Kansas capital
is located here or It may be for any
other of countless circumstances which
distinguish Kansas as state but the
fact is that, whatever the reason, if Il
twenty-mile wind were not blowing in
this town the citizens would think
would thtnk-that-well, the Lord only
knows what they would think. but
they would be pretty much alarmed.
But it must not be inferred that the
wind is limited to twenty miles. That
speed is merely the minimum impetuos-
1ty adopted by the zephyr. The maxi
mum limit is unattainable because
there isn't any limit The rate of the
wind is the one thing not limited ny
the multitudinous laws of this state
1t is the only thing in Kansas that is
fast.
call the attention Of a number of peo-
pie who think they are both fans and
sports to the tact that some of the tao
tics beginning to appear in both bleach
ers and grandstand at the local ball
lot are just the same as what has put
Pueblo out of the Western League to
stay. 1t was a bunch of cheap, two
bit gamblers who couldn't stand tc
lose like the sports they imagined they
were, who drove Clyde Jarnagin and
Jimmie Durham out of Pueblo and
made 1t so unpleasant for the rest of
the boys that no one wanted to go
back there this year. Wichita has
been decidedly free of this paltry
gambling heretofore, and it is to be
regretted If it is beginning to develop
here now. A home man who goes out
with the intention of knocking the
home team if they happen to play in
hard luck, can never be a true fan,
and the fellow who bets two bits on a
ball game and then goes out and roars
over everything that happens in the
game, may be a good financier, but he
lacks a whole lot of being true sport.
If there is anyone who thinks he is a
good fan and can't stick by the home
team through one defeat out of three,
he better journey to st. Joseph, Dee
Moines or even Topeka, and take few
lessons. This doesn't apply to very
many people in Wichita, but it will
hit number who were in both grand
stand and bleachers yesterday. And
if those people want to see a winning
ball team in Wichita, they will do well
to think this over.

that the pleasure car trade demanded

crack in the cylinder, circulation system

the slipping fan belt Is the cause OF
