IS A LIKELY BUNCH
Dale Gear Expresses Satisfac-
ton With Kaw Aggregation.
Strong Team, 1t Is Believed,
Will Land Topeka at Top.

Dale Gear and the Kaws, who are
on their way home, are an optimistic
lot. The bunch includes five infield-
ers, three catchers, three outfielders
and eight pitchers in addition to
Manager Gear.
The weather has not been so pleas
ant as was desired but the Kaws
haven't lost day since arriving at
the training camp. Every man has
older men have been extremely eau
tious to prevent the others from exert
ing themselves and getting sore arms
or limbs. The men are not in perfect
condition, but are near the point, and
1t IS believed they will finish the train
ing season and be down to weight by
the time the bell rings April IS. A.
The team has lost two games while
IN camp. Adams. a young man from
Durant, Okla, was taken on trial and
these games were lost while he was
pitching. Adams is a conner, as Gear
expresses it, and will make a good
man with proper training, but he has
been turned back to Durant for some
seasoning.
Gear is elated- with his success in
gathering bunch of catchers that
can deliver the goods. Crist, who was
purchased from the Philadelphia Ma
tionals, has been a good catcher for
years and Gear says that he is just as
good as ever. He is depending on this
man to set the pace in the Western
League during the coming season.
Billings a Surprise.
Billings is one of the surprises of
the team. He is getting right in on
the inside stuff and shows that he has
the necessary gray mater and nerve
to make a good catcher. The Grant
vile folks will have reason to be proud
of this youngster in a short time. Dave
Harper is the third catcher. He is a
youngster and will be sent to some
smaller league for more seasoning.
Even at that, he has exceptional
ability.
Ollom, as Gear expresses it, is
wonderful big little man at the bat
and will be a valuable man to the
team as soon as he gets more familiar
with second base. This youngster
comes from the Illinois university, the
origin of Jake Stahl, and a number of
other leaders of the major leagues He
played in the Mountain States league
last year but was signed upon the rec
ommendatfon of major league players
who know him.
Gear says the infield and the pitch
ers will be able to go the pace of the
western league and there is no ques-
ton about the ability of the outfieId
Every man on the infield has the
ability to sting the ball and this is
something unusual for a Topeka ag-
gregation.

HE DIED ALONE.
f. B. Smith, Aged Man, Found Dead
in His Chair.

F. B. Smith, so years old, who has
been employed by the Cullom Com
merce company, was found dead in
his chair at his room, 315 Madison
street, about 9 o'clock this morning.
DR.. J. H. Rinehart, the coroner, who
reached the scene before the body was
cold, declared death had been caused
by mio-cardial degeneration and val
vular leakage of the heart. Death
came, he believes, without any sort of
a struggle.
When found the victim was sitting
in his chair as though asleep. He had
risen from bed, it is believed, about
o'clock and dressed as usual. New
orange Feelings indicated that he had
eaten an orange after dressing, and
that he then had sat down a moment
in his chair. Nothing about his ap-
uearance indicated a struggle. He
roomed at the home of Michael Doyle,
whose family found Smith dead.
Nothing has been learned about his
family so far, but Coroner Rinehart
has ordered the body held until fur

passed. she rushed to the street to give
assistance although her own house sur

had an hallucination that they were
nude and they took almost all Mrs.
Stafford's clothing to cover themselves.
She has not recovered any of the
clothing so taken
Thomas Conner, laborer, who was
badly ,jured in the cyclone, was to-
day found in a tent made of gunny-
sacks. With him We're his wife and
