The kaw players will work under

drawing the full salary allowed them
most of the men will draw the pay
scheduled in their contract and if the
team finishes in the first division a
bonus will be given them. This bonus
is inside the salary limit of the league
and is offered in the hope that it may
tend to promote better team work
among the players. One or two of last
years men are signed to work for less
money than they received last year
with the prospect of the bonus to bring
their salary up to the 1912 mark.
There are now 15 signed contracts in
the possession of the Topeka manage

The chances are that Topeka fans will
see many new faces when they first
