If you will call 2s4 tomorrow after
noon the State Journal will be glad
to tell you by what score the Savages
defeated the Wichita Wolves in the
opener.
To accommodate Topeka fans who
wish to go to Wichita for the opening
game of the w. L. season, the Santa
Fe will put on an extra tourists car
and an extra sleeper.
The College Hill volleyball team has
elected captain for the summer sea-
son. and the first game will be played
tomorrow evening. The R. r. Y. NJ.
c. A. team will have a chance to de-
feat the Hill Dwellers again if it wants
it.
Blunderbus O'NeilI, known as the
president of the Western League, is
sore at scribe or two around the cir
cult. And there are several scribes
around the circuit who have a right
to be sore at Blunderbus if they cared
to bother about him enough to get
sore.
Wichita expects to turn out 5000
people to see the opening game when
the Wolves play the Savages tomor-
row. The president of the Wichita
Booster club has extended an invita-
ton to the Topeka Booster club to
attend the game. And some of the
members are planning to go.
Wichita, by the way, is not doing
things by halves this season when it
comes to baseball. The mayor of the
queSting all stores and business houses
to close during the game, and the most
prominent of these have signified their
intention of doing so.
This weeks washburn Review con-
tains an interesting writeup of the
Blue and White basketball season.
Sprinkled in between the lines are the
Dwight Ream, Merrill Ream, Art
Champeny, B. Drake, Swede Nelson,
Chief Meyers, I. x. L. Beals and a
group of the whole blooming bunch.
Also, a rear view of something that
is said to represent Irish McNeich.
Also, several merchants of Wichita
have offered prizes to the home play
ers for the first hit, first run, first
stolen base, first sacrifice hit, first put
out, first assist, first two Dagger, first
three Dagger and first home run. A
similar action on the part of local
merchants might stimulate a little
more interest, and it would help to
show the players that Topeka is in
tereSted in them and their doings.
Things are looking a bit brighter in
the City League than they did this
time last week. Harry Snyder, the
new president, is acclaimed as a boost
er and hustler by all who know him,
and he is confident that he can make
the league a big Success this season.
One thing that Snyder says he does not
intend to stand for is the killing spec
tacle of one team running away with
the pennant before the seaSon~iS half
over. The teams in the league will
either have to keep in the running, or
else they will have to get down and
out and give some other team a chance
that can. r
