fine of $25 before the case was called.
"As long as I am sitting in this

TWO TWILIGHT
TEAMS TO PLAY
CARWICOS AND ALAGAS WILL
CLASH BEFORE REGULAR GAME
AT MA%ENT PARK.

Another game between Twilight
League teams will be witnessed today
at Maxent park just before the big
game, if the weather permits. The
Carwicos and Alagas, Twilight clubs,
will play the first of series of games
arranged between those teams.
A great deal of interest is manifest
ed in these games at Maxent park, as
both teams have met three times this
season, the Carwicos winning the first
to 0, Alagas the second 1 to 0, and
the third was tied in the first half of
the last inning, which sent the game
back to the previous inning, giving
the Alagas the third game to 2.
Today's Alaga- Cariwcos game will be
called at 2:45 o'clock and the All-Star-
Pensacola game Immediately there
after. The following players compose
the two clubs:

HUMORIST MAKES FLORIDA BUTT OF
WITTY COMPOSITION IN ABE STYLE

Following the style of a school boys
composition, Georgia Fitch, who is best
known as a writer of humorous auto

Here it is:
Fiteh's Idea.
Florida is a vast expanse Of water
and climate, which sticks out about
400 miles into the ocean at the south
east corner of the nation, and is as
hard to dodge as a sore thumb. For
many years it was the vermiform ap-
pendix of the United States. No par
ticular use for 1T was known, and

constant state of Inflammation. 1t is

PRACTICALLY ALL OF THE MAJOR LEAGUE
CLUBS WILL MAKE MONEY THIS SEASON

New York, Aug. 24.-According to
information cleaned from baseball men
conversant with the financing status
of the various major league club, none
of the club owners will lose money this
year, in point of receipts versus ex-
penses. But 1t is openly stated that
several magnates win find when ac-
counts are balanced. their profits are

letcis. It is estimated the Giants viii
yield nearly s25o,000 In profits, which
in part will pay for the new Brush
stadium. The Boston Red Sox have
done a phenomenal business at home
and abroad and may provide a net
profit OF 100000 not including the
worlds series rake-off, If the team
takes part in the big series in October.
The Chicago White Sox, while lead
ing the American League also early in
the season coined money for Comiskey
and EtfIl draw big crowds at home, the
profits being estimated at $175.0o0, il
not more. The Cubs didn't do so well
at the outset, but since Chances men
have braced and are regarded as pos
sible winners of the National League
pennant they have been playing to
big money both in the Windy City
and on the road. The lowest estimate

Athletics Fall Short.
1t is said that the Pittsburg club
may earn 100000 or more and that the
great work of Washington will net a
similar amount, more than any pre-
vious washington club ever made.
The champion Athletics have not
drawn as much money as last year,
it is said. which is due to the uncer-

Wagner Pivot of Rcd Sox.
Wagner is the pivot of the Red -Sox
leaders. He is the key of the infield,
and without a stonewali infeld, or
something like one, the Red Sox could
never have approached first place.
Some critics even claim that Wagner
is the best shotstop in the American
League.
The Red Sox have had the best de-
fensive outheld in the league-proba-
bly, the best in the world-for a long
time. Last year the pitchers did not
work up to championship form, and
the infield was a patchwork all sea-

had to play second base, when he
played at all.

Mr.. Ernest S. Rice and his daughter,
Miss Mildred Rice, of Chicago, will be
guests of the Masons of Topeka Tues

Ernest Spotwood Rice was a pupil
in the Topeka grade schools in the late
eighties. Circumstances compelling him
to be a breadwinner in his family, he
applied for a position in the auditor
of disbursements office of the Santa

ment, it was discovered that he had
a natural bent for drawing. This tai
ent was so marked as to attract the
attention of an official who provided

only a short time until young Rice
found himself installed in a position
