about among the icebergs.
Mrs. c. F. Crane of Fort Sheridan,

There was never a crowd on the
Topeka ball grounds like that today
when Wichita met the Topeka Kaws
at the opening of the Western League
season of 1912.
President Tip O'Nein himself was
on hand and he proved that he had
attached the greatest Importance to the
opening game in the Kansas capital
by assigning his chief of umptres,
Jack Haskell, to handle the indicator
The crowd was wildly enthusiastic
and showed a disposition to applaud
brilliant plays whether made by home
players or the visitors.
Charley Crews, the auctioneer, open

addressed the crowd and told them
that President Tip O'Neill would try
to throw the first ball to the catcher.
He also advised the fans to buy the
sport edition of the State Journal and
a minute later O'Neill walked onto the
field and made a mighty heave toward
the plate. Then the game was on.
