The holder of score card number
1852. which was sold last year, Is en-
titled to q season pass to all western
league baseball games In topeka.
This pass was offered by the manage
ment last year in addition to the free
ticket for single games. Early last
sprinR the management announced
that after the season was over,
number would be drawn from the
acore card list and that such persons
holding the number would be given
the pass.
The management has no method OF
determining who has nieo TINS scoie
card in the deep recesses OF their
home and publicity of this kind Is the
only method known that will reveal
the identity Of the lucky person. ANY
person holding this score card Will
receive the paste board by calling on
A. M. Catlin in the Mulvane builoing.
Pitcher Paul Brown has been Sc
lected to start the opening game and
Sport McAllister will catch. Pepper
Clarke will be ready to go In and
pitch If for any reason Brown can
not start or II the Wichita sluggers
began hitting him too hard. Manager
Gear believes these two men are in
better condition than the others. and
Brown having been on the team last
year, will have better knowledge
Of the batters than any other man on
the club. Brown and Clarke have
been showing the best form during
the practice games.
The batting order will probably be
as follows:
Cochran-third base.
Dowd-second base.
Forsythe-left field.
Koerner-first base.
Riggs-center field.
Tallion-right field.
McGee-short stop.
Neutrality-suspicious..
