JOE WOOD VISITS IN KANSAS.
Former Salt Packer Calls on Friends
in Hutchinson.

Hutchinson, Kan, March 2.-Joe
Wood, former Salt Packer, and Hutch
inson's star pitching contribution to
the big leagues, is in the city, meeting
old friends and recalling old times
when he played with Bill link and
others in the old Western association.
Joe is bigger and stronger than ever,
and, say girls-he isn't married.
That was all a mistake about Joe
being caught out at home by a Phila-
delphia maid.
1T was as much of a surprise to me
as it was to you when I heard that I
was married. said Wood. st was out

More Loyalty Wanted.
Loyalty to Topeka institutions"
should be the slogan of every true To-
pekan- A leading manufacturer in
Topeka recently said that within the
last three years there had been enough
goods which he manufactured and
which he could have sold to the buy
ers in this city as cheap as anyone
could have sold them, purchased out
side of the city of Topeka, to have
enabled him to increase his working
force from $50 to 500, had he been
given the contracts for the goods. Do
the people of Topeka realize what this
means? 1t keeps the smoke from
curling from the stacks of our fac
tories and builds up large institutions
for other cities.
To Help the Factories.
Within the next month it is likely
that the Commercial club Will have
worked out a definite plan whereby it
will be possible to raise a large sum
of money for the purpose of assisting
industries in this city. Secretary J.

cities, to the board of directors in
very few DAYS.
There have been many business
changes in Topeka in the past three
months. Some business men have
moved away from the city, while
great many outsiders have moved to the
capital city, having sufficient confidence
in the future of the town to cast their
lot here. The usual number of retired
farmers have moved to the city, some
of them with the intention of retiring
from active work altogether and others
with the intention of using their sur
plus capital to get a start in some buSi-
ness. To the latter class undoubtedly
belong a number of the % men who
have taken charge of grocery stores
in the city.
Many Business Changes.

NEW LEAGUES MAY BE LEGAL.
Hermann Has Plan to Make Friends
of Them,

Cincinnati, March "A new deal in
baseball whereby the new Columbian
and possibly the United States leagues
will come under the protection of the
national agreement is intimated in a
story published here today. The story,
said to be semi-official, states that
Chairman Hermann of the national
baseball commission, will present the
matter to that body for official con-
sideration. It follows in part:
"a new deal in baseball whereby the
men who have been trying to break
into baseball limelight will come in as
auxiIiaries and warm friends of the
old magnates is under way and under
fair discussion.
"The angles are: Utilization of the
ball parks in the one-club cities of the
major leagues for the younger league
games during the absence of the senior
teams; acceptance of a club on the
north side of Chicago balanced by the
Withdrawal of the Junior league from
st. Louis.
1.-THE new league to have chance
at the extra players who are now
turned back by the majors.
1.-The new league to be run and
managed wholly by its own promo

The start of the training season at
hand means something new in local
baseball circles. Never before has
such an effort been made to get the
local team into winning shape before
the pening of the season. Trips
to Kansas City and st. Marys have
previously been the extent of the
training trip. The management is
nothing if not deserving of common
dation for this effort to bring Topeka
into championship baseball class. Not
another club in the league is operat-
one during the training period.
Leavenworth and Atchison are af-
ter the Lawrence franchise in the In
ter City league. Lawrence fans are
ripe for baseball, but the manage
ment has been denied the use of the
park eSta bliShed last year.
