A RUNAWAY

A horse attached to a dearborn be-
came unmanageable and ran off last
Saturday. The horse is said to have
been in the cavalry ser ice and while
the driver was turning him he wheeled
at two forty rate and started off at
full speed, making sad havoc with
gates, fences, etc. The horse was
caught before he d d any further injury.

OFF TO EMPORIA
Savages Start on Last Exhibit
ton Trip This Morning.
Jackson Takes q Turn at Pitch
ing Wednesday.

This morning at 1925 Jimmy Jack
son and his Topeka Savages left for
Emporia on their last exhibition trip
before the season opens.
The Savages will play the Emporia
State 1eaguerS four games, one this
afternoon at Emporia and one Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, either at EN-
poria or FL Dorado. The team will
return to Topeka Sunday night and
will remain here until Thursday when
it will leave for Wichita to open the
season with the Witches.
Owner Savage did not accompany
the team on it's final exhibition trip,
but will probably go down the latter
part of the week to see the Saturday
and Sunday games Just at present
Mr. Savage is busy lining up hash
houses around the circuit for his club
to occupy while on the road.
Wednesday afternoon Jimmy Jack
son held what might be called L regu-
lar workout The pitchers took turns
in the box and were instructed to I'M
cork everything they had. When a
twirler was not in the box he was sent
to the outfield. The regular in and
outfielders did the batting, and some
of them hit and some didn't.
jackson on the Rubber.
After all the pitchers had been
worked the rest of the team took their
regular positions. Boss Jackson
stepped into the box and the twirlers
were allowed to exercise their batting
eyes BOSS jackson put a rev hooks
on his balls, but mostly he allowed
the rubber kickers to hit so that the
proper fielding practice could be had.
Roche, who has been under the
weather for some several days, got the
best workout Of the bunch and han
died himself nicely. Ed Monroe, the
new catcher, did not stick his face in
to mask, but took the rest of the
work and placed a few pretty hits.
Pete LaFlumbois, the native Red Man,
showed conclusively that his hating
eye is getting better, but he didn't
show much pep when sent to the CEN
ter garden. C1unn, who was spiked
playing soccer a few days ago, was not
out. Grover complained of a consti-
pated arm and Catcher Tonneman was
nursing a puffed up thumb that was
presented to him by Wideman. Other
wise the fellows were in good shape.
1t is very probab bile that the canning
factory will be put into operation as
soon as the team returns from the
Emporia-El Dorado trip and several
of the hopeless will be invited to lin
ger no longer.
The only man who has any definite
knowledge of who these unfortunates
will be is Jimmy Jackson, and Jimmy
won't tell. When asked for an opin-
ion as who would be who. John Saw
age replied: That is entirely up to
Jackson. He is responsible for results,
and he will have to choose his own
working tools"
