pitchers at the beginning OF the season
and added several more. Just now.
Weidman, who was recalled from the
brush league. is the only man ON the
club who was here at that time. and
he appears to be capable of developing
into q great pitcher. Among those who
were cut loose because they failed to
come up to expectations are Pepper
Clarke, who has since proved to be one
of the best with the Sioux City club:
Ralph Glaze. who failed to show with
the Drummers; Louis Drucke, former
ly with the New York Nationals. who
was injured in street car accident
and attempted a comeback stunt: Mike
Flanagan. youngster; Barney Nc
Grath, q former Western Lacquer. who
was trying to come back" Fullerton.
who came from the New England
League and was with the Topeka club
in 1913; Higginbotham. who was draft
ed from the Texas-Oklahoma League;
Haislip. another from the Texas-Okla-
homa League.
Cooley as Manager.
The fans and officers Of the associa-
ton were not satisfied with the show
inr made by the club and sought to
improve conditions by replacing Dale
Gear as manager. Dick Cooley. who
formerly owned the club, was chosen.
He obtained pitcher who enabled him
to make a better showing. and the club
has done better ever since. Cooley
took charge late in the season. and
has been Handicapped by lack Of money
with which to buy other players. pre-
venting him from increasing the
strength Of the club.
The activities Of the Federal League
have caused an unsettled condition in
baseball and other distracting affairs
caused a big reduction in baseball re-
ceipts. The turnstiles have not clicked
as they should.
All things considered, the Topeka
baseball public has met with big dis
ppointment-possibly a bigger disap-
nointment to the manager and the club
owners than to any one else.

Germans Shot Down

Paris, September 1.-The diary of an English soldier who fell in the retreat on Paris has been brought here. Some pass ages are
 ''The Germans came on in huge masses. Two thousand of us rained bullets at them, and as we had been taught to aim and not merely to shoot from the hip, they went down like wheat before the reaper. Did 1t bother them? Apparently not They still came on like sheep to slaughter.
 After dark We heard trumpets assem- bling them. The Germans lighted lan- terms to collect their men, and all we had to do was to fire at the lights. It was fun to see how often our bullets extinguished them.
 By midnight it was estimated that IS,- GOO British were holding 5000 Germans. As this was an impossible feat in day light. we retired to a wood four miles away and slept two hours till dawn, when. would you believe 1t. the same fellows rudely woke us up by smelling our cover
