SOCCER GAME SUNDAY
PowelPs Team Will Play h. c.
Schmelzers at Santa Fe Park.

If weather conditions will permit.
Topekans will be given an opportunity
to see first class soccer game Sun
day afternoon when the Topeka team
meets the Kansas City Schmelzers at
the Santa Fe ball park at O'Clock.
All arrangements have been made
for the game, but Manager Tom
Powell says he is almost afraid to an
nounce anything definitely because
every time he has mentioned soccer
for the past several months the wealth
er man has brought out his clouds
weather.
for the better is bound to arrive by
Sunday, and with this in view, plans
are being made. The Schmelzers are
said to have one of the best soccer
teams in the country and despite the
fact that the locals have defeated
them once before, hard game is ex-
pected.
The men who will compose the To-
cal team have not yet been selected.
but they will be taken from the fol-
lowing: l.. c. Bishop, Brownlee,
Reed, D. Clark, A. Powell, Tommy
Williams, J. Mcbride, 3. Powell. A.
Mcbride, w. Joyce, A. Joyce, r. Will
liams and MeParkling. All of these
men are good players, and the team
will probably be selected according to
the condition in which they are in at
the time the game is called. No adj
mission will be charged to see the
game, and everybody is cordially in
vited to attend.

topeka WANTS IT
First District I'll. s. Track Meet
May Be Held Here.
Schools Invited to Stage Events
at Fair Grounds.

1t is possible that Topeka will be
awarded the First District high school
| track and field meet this year, as
Athletic Director H. c. Hepworth, of
the local school. has written A. r.
Mack. of Holton, the director who has
the naming of the place in charge, in
| wiling him to bring the meet here
Should Mr.. Mack accept Prof Hep
worth'S invitation, the fair grounds
will be used for the events and every
effort will be made to provide suitable
entertainment for the visitors.
Track prospects at the Topeka high
school are unusually bright this year
and there are many enthusiastic can
didates for almost every event that is
staged at a meet.
Among the most promising of the
men are Miller, a 50-yard sprinter,
and Gates, who is said to be as good q
mile man as the school has ever had.
The interclass meet will be held on
the first pretty, possibly Saturday
week, and this is expected to show
who are the most likely candidates for
following meets.
The first interschool meet in which
the local highs will participate will be
the first nice Saturday. maybe Saturday
held some time in April. Then, on
May 1, team will be sent to Law
renee to participate In the K. U. high
school meet, and on May the school
will be represented at both the state
hlSSt ct ana at the MIS-
souri, Valley meet at St. Joseph, Mo.
Get All Men Out
Plans as they are now arranged are
to get as many good men as possible
out for all events, and then when the
big meets come on May the Sth, to
send as many to ST. Joe as are thought
to have a chance and to send a full
team to Manhattan.
Also. many of the high school stud
entS are anxious for the weather to
break so that they can begin prepar-
ing for the interclass baseball games
Just when the season will open has
not been decided. Baseball will be
conducted under a handicap this year
owing to the fact that school keeps
until 2:3O instead of 1890 as it did
last year. Also, the schedules will
nave to be arranged so that the games
will not conflict with Washburn COL
lege hours, as the college diamond will
have to be used
However, the enthusiasm of the
students is such that it will carry
them over almost any obstacles and
with the assistance and Iong-headed
guidence of Messrs Hepworth and
Mclean, the young athletes are ex-
pected to make a creditable showing
and to derive many a pleasant after
noon from their outdoor spring tonic
games.

LEAGUE IS REORGANIzED.
Old Central Will Be an Eight Club
Circuit This Season

Fort Wayne, Ind, March 25-Ac-
cording to President Louis Heilbroner
of the Central Baseball league prac-
tcaIly everything is settled in the re-
organized circuit for the opening of
the season. April 21
The dropping of Springfield and the
expansion of the circuit to eight clubs
have brought three new local orga nj
cations into the league-Wheeling Erie
and Youngstown-and in Fort Wayne
there has been a reorganization with
local capital purchasing the interests
of Claude H. VarneH, of Wheeling,
who has retired from this city after
seven seasons of ownership.
In the five cities of the old circuit
that remain, three of them will have
new managers-Dayton, Fort Wayne
and Terre Haute-while President Es-
sick will himself manage Grand
tains the management at Evansville.

latter men in Wayne Cook, manager
of last years football team. Cook has
never taken an active part in athlet-

one of the most valuable men in the
institution when it came to laboring
behind the scenes. His efforts have
had a great deal to do with the insti-

in many other ways he has worked
hard and faithfully for the school

limelight or being crowned a hero of
the cause.
