HUGHES CHOSEN MANAGER.
Last Years Manager VIII Boss
Witches in 1913

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 1S.-George
Hughes was elected manager of the
Wichita Jobbers for the 1913 season
by the board of directors of the Wich-
tia Baseball and Athletic association
here.
The board decided that Hughes de-
served another trial in spite of the
fact that the team finished well to-
ward the bottom. Unforeseen obstacles
appeared in the path of the team
throughout the season and no mana
ger can do justice to himself with a
team in which the lineup is contin-
ua1ly shifting. Sickness and accidents
tell the story of the teams hard luck.
No one fought harder to overcome
this than Hughes.
Hughes Tells His Plans.
The board called Hughes into the
meeting and he explained to them his
views and plans for the coming sea-
son. He explained his position last
season and why he was forced to man
age the team as he did. In regard to
the rumor that the players are against
him and that there would be trouble
Manager Hughes easily proved that
the boys are for him. He has per-
sona1 letters from practically all of
hope he will be manager in 1913 and
that they are ready to do all in their
power to give Wichita a winning
team.
Ellis and Middleton are both anx-
iouS to come back to Wichita and
play under Hughes. The same can be
said of practically all the bunch. Some
of the fans are inclined to think that
hard feeling existed on the team.

Incidentally, it might be we'll to
observe that if there is any position

About one hundred library books

be used in the purchase of library
books.
This is a good law for in Lancaster
it means the addition of practically
one hundred books a year for the
grades. The total number of these
books is now about nine hundred.
The books purchased for the first
primary are very simple readers and
stories which the children like. On
account Of the success with which
The Tree Dwellers' were used in
the second grade last year, twenty
copies of the second book of the series,
The Early Cave Men, are now
to be placed in each of the third grade

grades are most supplementary and
reference books in history and in geo.
