What Will ISbeIPS IOWanS Do
This Year!

Only 10 days till "Doggie' Hughes
will bring his contingent of Witches
here for the opening of hOStilitieS IN
the O'NeiH circuit and If the weather
continues good the Kaw team should
be in splendid shape. They nave al
ready had more work than any other
Western League club and should be
in splendid condition with another 1C
days of practice. The club will arrive
here in two sections, one coming Sat
urday afternoon and another SUNDAY
morning, according to informa ton
reaching the local officials of the club
The game Sunday will be a family at
fair, only Gears proteges taking part
1t Will afford the local fans chance
to look over the squad at one sitting
There will be workouts at the park
next week with the exception of one
day, when the Kaws will probably &C
to ST. Marys to show the Quigley
school of baseball some of the things
the coach hasn't taught them.
One ticket will admit to the grand
stand this year as well as to the park
The entrance to the grandstand will be
just behind the press pox, saving a
long walk under the stand The exits
will be more conveniently arranged
the bleacher section having enough
exits to prevent the crowd being con
gested about the grandstand apertures
Final work is being rushed at tbs
ball park. Six teams are engaged in
moving dirt and horde of carpenters
are busy on the stands. The KaW
field is going to be little too soft for
the best results in spite of the efforts
of the club owners to get it into good
shape before the opening of the sea-
son. The work being done now was to
have been done three weeks ago but
the weather man would not have it so
Consequently the diamond will likely
be a little slow. The fault, however
will be outgrown and this season
should see the local field as fast as
any OF them

caught more games of ball since he
became a professional in 1908 than
any other receiver in the business
Biily Sullivan, Larry Mclean and

one hundred games to the season since

Street has been in professional base

before the curtain drops at the close
of the 1912 season, Street will likely
have passed the 1000 mark.

Up to this date more guesses have
been received for the season pass to
be given by the State Journal to the
person guessing nearest to the actual
paid attendance at the opening game
than in any previous year. This shows
the growing interest in baseball. No
guess received after April II will be
considered, so you should get your
guess to the State Journal baseball
editor, as the contest closes in less
than ten days. With good weather, n
large crowd will undoubtedly attend
the Wichita-Topeka opening at the
local grounds on the 18th. Some lucky
individual will receive a little piece of
pasteboard worth more than $40.

USEFUL Label CASE
ARTICLE THAT WILL De ApPRE-
GATED ny TRAVELLER.
Directions for Making a Simple Little
Case for Holding Luggage Labels
Art Linen May BE Used
to Advantage.

1t IS curious coincidence that lug.
gage labels never seem to be at hand
when they are required. and for that
reason only 1t Is well worth while to
make case for them that may be
hung up at some particular spot on
the wall in spare room or box-rooru,
where they may be always found
whenever they are wanted, and the
case would make very nice little
present.
We give, therefore, sketch OF a
handy case for this purpose that may
be carried out in art linen, colored for
preference. as it will show marks less
easily. 1t can be cut out entirely in
one piece, and the two ends folded
over so that they form pockets, and
then sewn down at the sides.
The case should be lined and Is
bound throughout at the edge with
narrow ribbon. The two sides should
be stiffened with pieces of cardboard
sewn in between the cover and the
lining.
In the center, for the space OF about
an inch. there should be no cardboard.
and this space is indicated In the left
