Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 13-Displaying
unexpected strength and an ability to

hawkers won their first conference
football game on McCook field Satur-
day afternoon by overwhelming the
Washington university eleven by the
score of 55 to Z. The big score came
as a surprise to the Kansas rooters,
who thought the Pikeway team might
prove as much of a stumbling block
as did the William Jewell athletes in
the game of a week ago. But with
McCook field in perfect condition and
the Minnesota shift working with
clocklike precision, the Kansas back

WON'T PAY GIANTS
National Commission Holds
Losers Share.
Player-AuthOrs Must Show
Contracts.

New York, Oct. 13.-When the New
York Giants applied to the National
commission for the losers share of the
Worlds series receipts, they did not
get the money. They were informed
that the commission wished first to see
the contracts of the player-authors
that it might be assured their engage
ments to report the worlds series were
entered into before Sept. 81.
Before the start of the series last
week, the National commission laid
down the rule that no baseball player
or manager might write for the news
papers during any future worlds SER
les. 1t was decided, however, that
players who had contracts dated be-
fore Sept. q might go ahead with their
writing this year. Half a dozen mem
bers of the Giants wrote newspaper
articles on the series during the play
of last week. Now the commission
wants to inspect their contracts be-
fore it turns over the series money to
the men of the team.
Last Monday the commission ruled
that play-authors who could not pro-
the date specified would be penalized,
but it did not announce the penalty
As a matter of fact no penalty is
likely to be inflicted and the Giants
share of approximately $2,162 each in
the series money will probably be paid
to them in short order practically in
tact, as it is believed that all the
writing men among them can produce
properly attested contracts ante-dat-
ing the commissions announcements
of its ban on the play-authorship.

DRAFTED THREE.
Manager Gear Picks Up Prom
Using Players for 1914 Team.
Wants Two Good Pitchers and
Pending Deals May Strength

Manager Dale Gear, of the Topeka
team, drafted three men from lower
class circuits for the 1914 team of the
Kaws and has succeeded in picking up
other men who he believes will great
ly increase the strength of the Topeka
aggregation.
Among the players who were drafted
by Manager Gear are Pitcher Fair
cloth of the Cotton State League, who
was given a trial before this season
closed, Higginbotham, a pitcher of the
benson team of the OklahOma-TeXaS
League and the other is a man named
ODowd, an infielder from the Brockton,
Mass, club of the New England League.
In addition to these men, he has sign
ed an infielder named MCGEE, whose
nome is in Mississippi and who has
never played professional ball. Another
IS pitcher named Klontz of Nevada,
MO-, who has been recommended by
Bill Rapps. Manager Gear has num-
Der OF other deals pending, which will
strengthen the club if completed.
The ability of Pitcher Faircloth is
Wen known here as he was with the
kaWs this season long enough to show
the strength of his arm. He worked
in several games and made an excel
lent showing on each occasion.
manager Gear saw Pitcher Higgin-
botham in action last spring when the
Topeka team was south on a training
TRIP The same youngSter, afterWard
pitched in game against the ST. Louis
browns which he won by the score Oh
TO 1. The same youngster finished the
season with record of 20 victories and
two defeats. He is a big fellow and
but 81 years old.
O'Dowd, who was drafted from the
New England League, has been well
recommended. His is a third baseman
big, young and batted above the 300
mark all season. He is an excellent
fielder. Pitcher Fullerton knows him
we'll.
MCGEE is another infelder. He has
never played professional baseball anc
is college player. He refused to en-
ter professional baseball because he
wished to retain his amateur standing
until after he completed his education
but played some semipro-bal this sea-
son. Hhe was declared ineligible in
amateur ranks by the college athletic
board this fall, when he returned to
school and has accepted terms offered
by the Topeka club. He was recon-
mended to Manager Gear by Carlos
Smith and Pitcher Faircloth.
Pitcher Klontz is big right-handed
pitcher from Nevada, Mo-, who was
recommended by Bill Rapps. He is six
feet one inch tall, 81 years old and has
been pitching remarkable baseball this
season.
Manager Gear expects to trade or
dispose of one or two men who were
on the club this season for more valu-
able men. One of these may go in
deal for an outfielder who is well known
in this vicinity although his name is
being withheld. The services of two
more good pitchers is desired, and with
the men who are already on the list,
Gear believes he will give To-
peka a club that will be in the first
division and fighting the leaders from
beginning to the end.
