Big Plans Being Made for the
GridirOn Season.
Team Probably VIII Play Ok
IahOma City Eleven.
(BY San.l

The Topeka high school will open
it's football season in september with
plenty of veteran material and a
world of pep, and with the prospects
of being backed by a high school
athletic association. Plans are being
formulated for the return of the old
time enthusiasm, which has not been
notable in several seasons. The new
men who will try out for the squad
look good and the older ones have
developed their muscles this summer
with manual labor. The outlook is
promising.
W. P. Mclean will coach the team
and it will be his business to round
out an eleven that will win state
laurels. He has had several of the
boys out this month in two different
practices. The first game will be
played against the junction City team
at that city. Topeka will not travel
to Lincoln or Beatrice for the Thanks
giving game, but will meet LeaVen-
worth on that date at the prison city.
Are After Lawrence.
Lawrence may get badly trimmed
when the team comes here for its an
nual battle, as the capital city punters
and tacklerS are in a revengful mood
for their opponents scalp. This time
honored game will be played before
a huge crowd at Washburn field, as
the Lawrence boosters always come
here in a special train.
The Topeka lads are going to book
a game in Oklahoma this fall, prob
ably with Oklahoma City. Failing
in this they may play Tulsa or
Muskogee. Wichita has not met
a Topeka aggregation in num-
Der of years and Will be given an
opportunity to do so within the next
few weeks. Emporia, ottawa and
other rivals of many years standing
will play McLean's bunch of husky
football players this season.
Before school opens, Mclean will
take the boys to Wakarusa for a
camping trip of several days, in which
a large part of the time will be spent
in working on the pigskin.
Missouri Valley Captain.
Ed Kennedy will captain the
team this year, succeeding George
Rodney Nettels, the all-star Missouri
Valley high school tackle of last year.
Kennedy was all-kansaS tackle. His
experience on the field will help him
in running the team. Other veterans
who will don the high school uniforms
will be: Mclean, halfback; Young,
guard; McKibben, halfback; Ander-
son and LortZ, ends; Kouns, quarter
back; Wilson, center
A new fullback to take Jim"
Perry's place will have to be selected
for this position is Barrett, a big fell
low who played with Sumner school
last season and made the mythical all
star grade school team selected by
athletic directors of the different
schools

A. A. CLUB ON THE ROCKS.
Poor Attendance Forces Owner SOM
ers to Take Drastic Measures.

Cleveland. Ohio, Aug. 26.-The
American association team Will be a
road team for the remainder of the
present season. President III. A. SOM
ers announced today that all the
teams remaining home games have
been transferred and will be played
on foreign fields. Poor attendance
here is the reason given.
Somers had tried to sell the team TO
Toledo capitalists since early in the
year but every effort failed. An ef-
fort will be made to transfer the team
elsewhere this winter. The team was
transferred here from Toledo at the
start of last season to Illustrate en-
trance of the Federal league here ana
because of lack of support in Toledo.
1t is said that Owner Somers plans
to take other members of the assocla-
ton team in an effort to bolster up
the Cleveland American league team,
which he also owns. He has already
taken Outfielders Willie and South

New York Nationals Dispose of Their
Eccentric Lcft-hander.

New York, Aug &c. Richard
"Rube" Marquard, left handed pitch
er, was sold by the New York Ma
tionals Wednesday to the Toronto
club of the International league.
Under the terms of the transaction
the Giants are to get Pitcher Herbert
from the Canadian team.
1t is understood that all major
league clubs waived claims to Mar
guard because of their unwillingness
to pay the high salary which his con-
tract calls for. This salary undoubt-
edly will be paid off by the two clubs.
Marquard declared his unwillingness
to join the Toronto club and wants
his unconditional release.

COBB CELEBRATES TO-DAY.
King of All Players Has Been in Big
Leagues Ten Years.

Detroit, Mich, Aug 26.-Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, often referred to as
the greatest baseball player in the
world, today celebrated the tenth an
niversary of his debut as a major
league player 1t was expected that
Cobb would receive an unusual dem
onstration from his friends this after
noon when he stepped to the plate in
the last game of the important series
with Boston.
Cobb's path of fame has probably
never been equalled in the history of
baseball. For eight successive sea-
sons he has been champion batsman
of the American league. His average
for the present season is about $50
and it seems almost an impossibility
for any of his rivals to wrest the
crown from him this year. No batter
ever made such a record.

New York, Aug. 26.-The Grand
Circuit race meet which was to be-

track in Yonkers, will not take place,
according to a statement by director
of the Empire City Racing association.
1t is alleged in legal proceedings

at the Empire City track before ship
ping them to Europe for the war has
so infected the stalls and track that
it cannot be used for six months.
