From O'NeiIPs Circuit.
Ladies' put on your white dresses ano
go to the ball game Friday The VIC
tor film company will take moving pic
lures of the first two innings OF tht
ball game between the Joseyltes anC
the Kaws. Not only will you get 10 see
the game but you will also see now
pictures for exhibition purposes are
made. The pictures will go all over
TIE country and mean big aoVer-
tisement for Topeka. Do you Want
the pictures to show long rows OF
empty seats? Hardly. So lets I'LL up
the grandstand and bleachers for the
occasion. The ladies are requested 70
wear white dresses as these snow up
better in the pictures
And now, ladies, listen: The man.
agement has a surprise which 1T hopes
will prove a pleasant one, for you. On
every day except Saturday SUNDAY
and holidays you will admitted 1ree AT
the gate. This is an innovation IN
Western league baseball and while the
other clubs may put it on later the 10
peka club is the first one to make the
venture 1t costs something to do it,
but the management wants the women
to get behind the team and has
made this concession. Remember, you
will be admitted free at the gate but
must pay to sit in the grandstand
President Arch CatIin is expected to
return Tuesday or Wednesday and
when he arrives home will send out the
free tickets promised for the school
children.
The Walkover shoe baseball team
wants games in and out of town. Roy
Hill is manager.
The Bears are having their troubles
as well as the rest of the clubs. Both
the catcherS are now on the hospital
list and Beal may be inserted to do the
backstopping. Lincoln papers say that
Jack remains on the coaching line
when the team is losing now. Quite
change for Jack.
Anyhow it will be good to gaze upon
them again even if it is only for four
games. Doesn't it seem like a long
time since the KawS played at home?
Some way the impression has gone
abroad that this department doesn't
rate Jimmy Durham good pitcher
If We ever said it the statement is
hereby taken back. But l. is not adj
mitted that such statement was
made. vi,
What will become of us if something
doesn't happen to this Healy person?
He seems to have something on all
of them.
The Witches supporters are finding
fault because Hughes prize athletes
won only one game of the series with
Lincoln. The fans of the Pride of
the Plains thought perhaps they could
even up by taking the Kaws to a
cleaning but they only broke even,
taking one game and losing one. Ac-
cordirg TO the dope there the Witches
hit about .315 as a team during the
Antelope series and it does look like
that would win games. But the
Dryers were due for a break in luck
They came near slipping it over in
the local camp. And from the reports
waited in from the north they must
have been shoaling some of the same
stuff at Denver. The Bears, by the
way, are now on the road for a 2Ol
day trip. This should result in their
being pulled down several notches
from first place unless the team is as
good as Denver sport writer's are
claiming. But 20 games on the road
is a long stretch and it is likely the
Bears will have their grief, the same
as other teams.
Sioux City claims to have found
another Pick Hunter in Tommy
Tenant. secured from the Browns at
st. Louis. Which recalls the way Hun
ter burned up the American Associa-
ton the year after leaving Sioux City.
He was the pride and joy of the Kan
sas City fans and went from there to
the Pirates. In return Shay got about
all of the available baseball timber not
firmly anchored to the Pirate camp
And then Hunter went back to the
American Association.
Shaw, Belden and Claire are three
former Jobbers who figure in the Des
Moines lineup just now. Claire, the
latest recruit to the fold of Isbell |
hasn't been pleasing Manager Hughes |
for some time and when the chance |
came to quietly slip him to another
club he took quick advantage of it /
Among other things this indicates that !
Tommy Nee will likely continue with |
the Witches, taking care of the hot /
corner. He is showing there much /
better than he did at third, according |
to the Wichita writers.
Now comes the cry that Des Moines
is not supporting the ball team to the |
satisfaction of Isbell. There as al |
ready talk of transferring a series with I
Lincoln. If Des Moines doesn't come |
out for the games this year it begins |
to look like she simply will not do. |
There has been some disappointment
over the crowds here and Tope ka fans |
port of the local management. And
any better if as well.
Clyde Jarnigan failed to extend the
fair. Unable to come back he will
