It's too bad there are not eight clubs
in the Central Kansas League this year.
An eight club league is better. But
there is this comfort for the c. K. L
fans. Baseball is not an experiment
in any of the towns on the Gafford
circuit. Every one of them has with
stood the acid test. When the c. K. L.
was started four years ago by bunch
of fans who met in the office of George
Hull in Salina it wasn't a very pre-
tentious affair, but the league finished
out the season, though not without
difficulty. You couldn't buy a fran
chise in it for love nor money that
season. Next year the scene was
changed. An eight club circuit start
ed. There was more difficulty. But the
league kept pegging along. And it has
unto the present day. Last summer
the State League, formerly the more
three best towns in it were absorbed
by the c. K. circuit which dropped
the towns in which it was difficult to
keep the game going. Baseball in Cen
trail Kansas is now on a solid basis
The men interested in the paStime should
guard against undertaking too much
The towns that did not take this pre-
caution are without league baseball
now. A 80 game schedule, such as is
provided this year, with six good
towns, means plenty of baseball.
proper regard for the salary limit
means baseball in the future whereas
plunging may mean failure later. The
men who have worked hard for base
ball in central Kansas should take
some profit for their labors this year.
And that section of the state contains
more SD degree fans than any other
spot on earth.

Georgetown. Tex, April 5.-Sfckness

the outfield to play short. It is believed
the clever shortstopper will soon be
able to get into the game again.
The Kaws won their game with the

out and played wobbly baseball. They
gathered five errors while they were
accommodating nine hits and seven runs.
Texas made one more error than base
