Baseball Men Will Try Once
More They Say.
Few Stockholders at Meeting
Tuesday Night.

The stockholders of the Topeka Base
ball association failed to take much in
terest in the annual meeting which was
held at the Commercial club rooms last
night. But few attended the meeting.
However, the few that did attend
heard the report of the officers and
decided to retain the team and fran
chise this season.
Manager Dale Gear was unable to
attend the meeting but Arch NJ. Cat
lin. president, explained the conditions
of the affairs of the association. He
led off by giving a prospective lineup
of the team, the training season and
then urged the few that it was neces-
sary to sell bonds aggregating about
$4,000 in order that the association
might have enough money to operate
the team adVanta geously during the
season.
The team will train at Denison, Tex,
as has been previously announced. The
players will report there about March
10 and Will spend about ten days in
that locality. They will play exhibit
ton games with teams in Denison and
vicinity during their stay. Following
this, the team Will start north and pla y
a number of exhibition games. The
Western League season will open April
Is and the team win return to Topeka
about two weeks before that time. Elk
hibtion games with Omaha at Okla
bona City and Kansas City Blues at
Kansas City viii be the best games
before returning home.
The Blues will come to Topeka for a
brace of games before the American
Association season opens and Fred
Clary Will be here with his Pittsburg
Pirates for a pair The -ocaI manage
ment is trying to arrange other games.

uonalS, viii catch the young pitchers and
coach Billings of Granville, who will
be the second catcher Bill Rapps will

the team. Walsh of last years team and
Ems who belongs to Detroit will contest
for the regular position at the keystone
sack French, who was secured from Sioux
City, viii play at short and Snapp and
Patterson Will contest for d regular berth
at third.
The outfield is expected to be as fast
as any on the circuit. Lee of last years
team will be in the field. McLarry and
Forsythe will fill the other positions. Both
of these men are fast in the field and on
the paths, good hitters and heady.
Among the pitchers Reynolds,
Cochran and Cocreham who were with
the team last year. The others are Nc
Gehee, who is claimed to be responsible
for the pennant at Vicksburg in the Cot
paw with more or less of reputation:
Fullerton of the New England league and
Adams of the Southern league.
The local management has about one
half of the $4,000 bond issue on hand,
which they want to dispose Of One-half
has been sold. If the other half can be
disposed of the management will be
financially able to take care of all affairs
debtednesS which hung over the team
when it was purchased from Dick Cooley. /
1t is believed the team will be in the
running this season and it Is we'll within
the salary limit of s., 500, which was estab-
lished at the fail meeting of the league |

OLD EEUD LEADS TO ARREST.
Man Uses PtchforI in Driving Wo
man Away

Dodge City, Kan, Feb. 26.-Bad
blood between the Long and Kirkstat-
ter families farmers near here, caused
the arrest by Sheriff c. E. Argabright
of John Kirkstatter charged with
chasing Mrs. Long with a pitchfork.
kirkstatter says he was driving I'M
rUly horses along the road when they
broke away from him entering Longs
premises.
Long, he says, struck both the
horses and himself with board. He
could stand this easily but when Mrs.
Long appeared on the scene and de-
livered tongue-lashing he could not
control himself. The charge, sworn
to by Long, is assault and battery with
intent to kill.

ed by hundred and fifty base ball
fans who are anxious to see Clay Cen

are making a decided effort to put the
town back again in the game this year.
Already about fifteen hundred dollars

to work up further enthusiasm as well
as to raise more money.
Most of the young men of the town

be in the game next summer. Prac-
tica1ly all the expenses of the banquet
were donated. Among the guests who
were present was Luther McCarty
