IA PROUD MOTHER
Josh Billings Success Brings
Joy to Kansas Home.
Former Topekan Makes Good
With Cleveland Indians.

Out on a farm near Granville, in
Jefferson county, there is a mighty
proud woman. Her name is Mrs.
Katharine Billings. And she is proud
of the one thing that fills the heart
of a mother with more pride than
anything else in the world-her son.
Mrs. Katharine Billings is the moth
er of Josh Billings, the ex-Topeka
Western Lacquer who is catching for
the Cleveland Americans this year
and who gives promise of becoming a
lery of the be ball hall of fame.
Josh was first brought from the
jefferson county bushes in 1912 when
Dale Gear signed him with his old
Kaws. During his first year he show
ed signs of developing into a good
ball player and at the end of the sea-
son was turned over to the Quincy
club of the Three Eye league.
And it was at Quincy that he began
to find himself and to show the quail
ties that finally landed him in the big
show. His record at Quincy shows
that he improved both in batting and
fielding to a remarkable degree.
In the Big Show.
The result was that at the close of
the 1913 season he was taken on by
the Cleveland American League club.
However, he still needed a little more
experience and the club turned him
over to the Cleveland Association clu b
under an optional agreement.
At the BEGINNING of the present
season Billings was recalled by the
Indian manager and has been making
good in a way that insures him a per
manent berth. The following clip
by Mrs. Billings this week and brought
by her to Topeka show what the
Cleveland scribes think of "Our JOSH ::
''Most star pitchers owe great deal
- Is2 Iv1cy rNr1n a n
catch them most of the time, but Guy
Morton is an exception.
1.-The Indian star is just the same
no matter who is behind the bat, as
long as the catcher can hold his fast
delivery.
Ben Egan, generally considered to
be Morton's catcher this year, has
backstopped for him in three games.
Steve O'Neill has caught him in four.
Josh Billings caught Morton sun
day for the first time this year Guy
looked better with Josh behind the
plate than at any time so far.
1T was quite a feat for Josh, a
youngster who has not been playing
regularly, to jump in and handle Guy
delivery, but he did it as we'll as could
have been asked of the most hardened
veteran"
And Then This.
"Say what you will, there's no get
ting away from the fact that Josh Bill
lings fairly caught his heart out in
Sundays game. It's no snap to catch
the speed and twisters of Sir Guy Nor
ton, but although it was his first game
of the season, Billings came through
with flying colors And after the
eighth, Morton's curve ball was break
ing sharper than ever before.
Its true that Josh tired somewhat
near the close and it's no wonder, as
it was a nerve racking contest from
start to close. When the game had
passed into history Josh was just about
as limp as a dishrag. He had given
his all, the same as Morton

between the Omahogs and the Topeka

Then she pulled this right out of the
