George Godfrey Moore and the
Booster club boosters are working
hard to increase the membership of
the organization to 5000. This will
give them the sum of $1,000 to use in
buying a new player for the team.
This amount will be enough to buy q
player for any position on the team
with enough ability to be the class
of the circuit and such a player may
be needed.
The services of a band has been
secured for the opening game. The
band will go direct to the baseball
park The teams will not parade as
is usual but will go to the park and
get a good workout so as to be able

Gears team will be in good condi-
ton to begin the regular schedule
Friday. The Denver team is due TO
arrive in Topeka Wednesday morning
and will workout at the local park.
The Kaws will hold their final signal
practice Wednesday afternoon.
Gear believes that he has recruited
one, two, three aggregation. The
fans will not have any reason to be
ashamed of the team if he develops
three good pitchers and there is no
cause, at this time, to doubt that he
has four and probably five. All of
the pitchers who have worked in the
practice games look good and it be-
gins to look like Gear will have some
trouble in deciding which he will re-
lease.
The Chinese college game will be
the last regular workout for the Kaws
and the fans should turn out and wit
ness the contest. More than 500 peo-
pie witnessed the inter-team game
Sunday afternoon and more than 800
have qualified to participate in the
contest for the season pass.

NOW YOU'LL BE GOOD.
Recruit Got Fresh With "Brick
Owens; Didn't Last Long.

Owens; Didn't Last Long.
The Boston Red Sox have very
promising young pitcher on the pay
roll, who is inclined to be fresh, if we
are to believe all the reports that came
from the training camp of the Boston
ians. The name of the young man in
question is Foster, and the American
League umpires had better beware.
Foster worked against the Pirates
and showed up in fine style. In fact,
he made such good impression on
Manager Jake Stahl that he is almost
certain to be carried for time at
least. In one of the games with the
Pirates he thought Umpire Brick
Owens had missed a strike on him in
a pinch. In a sneering manner he
remarked:
1.-The umpires in the Texas league
call those strikes

ing is concerned" shot back the Lone

The White Sox left ST. Joe in dis
| gust; not that they were not royalty
entertained in Drummerville, but be-
cause they lost two days of practice.
Added to this they dropped a game to
the HolIanders with Walsh in the box.
Isbell and Holland had a bum bunch
when they elected to train at home.
The Drummers are about as chesty
as they make 'em since they took the
White Sox into camp with Ed Walsh
in the box Little Dick Crutcher was
the hero of the occasion. There GER
tainly is a lot of satisfaction for the
minors when a major league bunch is
humbled. And by the same taken your
average big show boss would rather
have anything happen than have his
team beaten by the bushers, as the
minors are known on the big time.
Cy Young of Sioux City, is picked
for the opening game with Omaha be-
cause he is going in the finest possible
shape and because he has made a re-
quest that he be allowed to do the
opening day honors. In the exhibition
contests against Rourkes men the
elongated hurler has looked the goods.
From their showing in the four games
the players feel confident of taking the
Omahogs into camp in at least one of
the battles to be played before they
go to st. Joe. Modesty forbidS them
to claim any more.
The success of the ST. Joseph Booster
club has stimulated interest in baseball
all over the circuit and in all the West
ern League cities the fan organization
back of the Drummers is regarded as
a worthy example. There are 1000
members of the organization, the
strongest of the kind in the world A
meeting was held in Wichita for the
purpose of organizing a Booster club on
the plan of the st. Joseph club The
chief slogan of the Jobber Boosters
will be swat the Knocker.'
AS has been expected for some time
Charley Wheatley. formerly of st. Joe,
has been notified of his release in the
near future by the Detroit club. 1t is
probable that berth will be obtained
for him on the Providence team of
the International league. Wheatley
showed UP as well as any of the re-
cruit pitchers in the Tiger training
camp, but Jennings was overstocked
with veterans and he tied the can to
most of the younger hurlers. Wheatley
looked so good at Detroit last fall, af-
ter leaving the Drummers, that Ty
Cobb called him a real conner.

How to Work While You Play.

A French collaboration of Thomas
Edison has just invented a sewing
machine which is also piano. Its
mechanism is so arranged that every
time the operator strikes note on
the keyboard. she completes one
stitch. A single waltz will hem three
handkerchiefs-Bee symphony
will sew an entire trousseau. Thus.
the dressmaker can work and play at
one and the same time, and the more
they play, the more they work. To
bring the invention into the vogue 1t
so fully merits, schools will be es-
tablished in many parts Of France
for the training Of young women for
the degree of NJ. P. M.-"master piano
machinists. Music with its charms
will thus be given an undoubted utili-
tartan value, and all the roundabout
societies "for the furtherance of mu-
steal appreciation will be left in the
shade by simple mechanical con
trivance.

It. has been said that Princes street
Of Edinburgh is the most impressive

There is something not only forbid

One meets on the Old North bridge,
which spans the gulf between two

How to Wear Flowers.

Roses are best for evening wear.
Even if they are buds do not wear
three or four of them; that would spoil
the artistic effect, Select one full
blown rose and tuck it into the coil
Of your hair, letting it nestle close to
the ear.
The smart way to wear flowers on
the tailored suit is to attach them to
the left lapel of the coat. Violets look
best worn near the waist line, just a
little to the left side and tied with
soft, narrow, shaded violet satin rib
bon.
To wear old-time garden flowers
with artistic effect they should be
made into small bouquets and fastened
to the chiffon scarf or the dainty fichu,
or a bunch of loose flowers may be
worn at the corsage.
