From n. w. FARRELL.
To the Topeka State Journal:
With these extremely appropriate
names being suggested for the Topeka
ball team, such as the Merry Won
ders, Prohibitionist City's, and the
the Boys in Blue or the Invincible
Sluggers suit your epicurean taste ?
Or mayhap the Little Helpers would
be more fit. Or, possibly, you would
Tigers. If a ball team could possibly
struggle through a season alive with
such a preparation as the Merry
Wonders appended thereto, surely
these other names are worthy of con-
sideration. Very truly yours,
A. w. FARRELL.
p. S.: I would also suggest that the
uniforms of the team be decorated
with brightly colored ribbons, and
that the publisher of the State Jour
nal, or some other kind hearted citizen
of Topeka, present to each Merry
Wonder little wrist watch as a token
of the tenderness of his heart.

string of the Topeka baseball team.
Murphy is a glutton for work, as
the baseball dope" books prove. He
caught more games than any other
catcher in the Northern League last
season. He had 15S assists, which
was 80 more than any other back
stopper. His batting average was $50
and he made six home runs and 20
two-baggers.
A new light has been turned on the
deal between Murphy and Owner Te-
beau of the Blues. ]. H. Farrell, who
settles all claims of ball players
awarded Murphy a claim of $1FO
against Owner Tebeau. When Muir
ply went to call on Tebeau he told
him that he could keep the money if
he would only release him from the
Blues. Tebeau gave him an uncondi-
tional release.
Last season Murphy and John Pet
ers, who is making a great showing
with the Detroit club of the Ameri-
can League, played in the Northern
League and they were referred to as
would have been drafted by some big
league club had it not been that the
Kansas City team had strings on him.
Murphy left Kansas City yesterday
afternoon to go to his farm. He will
return here within a week and in
tends to work out with the Blues at
Association park until time to report
to the Topeka MANAGEMENT.

In baseball, as in almost anything
else, a man can fail to get on in two
ways. One way is not to deliver the
GOODS Another way is to be too anx-

such fools that they work so hard they
haven't time to make a success.

 Topeka, November 13, 1915. Honorable Sidney Sapp,
 Superior Court.
 Holbrook, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 The delay in further consider ing your letter of October 22nd, in regard to the Cemetery at HoIbrook. was occasioned by our A. B. Lyon not reaching here as early as I anticipated.
 want to submit the ptcposi- tion of making the deed to the South half of the Southeast quarter of the Southwest quarter of section 31, township IS North, range 21 East, Arizona, to the President but before doing so want to know to whom the deed is to be made, as we'll as the re- sponsibility of management Tn the future, together with something that will go in our records show ing that the burial ground IS to be free to all who desire to sleep there. The leading people of IIolbrook will have to determine whether it is better to incorpor- ate. If they incorporate, then they ought to have some bylaws, and your charter ought to set forth that it is to be free. The railroad company has no desire to dictate or make suggestions further than when the matter of giving the 20 acres is submittsd to our President, that all the business parties relating to fu- ture administration, as well as giving the name of some person who has the power to take the title, is fully determined.
 I think you will fully under stand my position in the matter and what 1 am trying to say here in. and therefore leave you and associates to work out the practi- cal results.
 Yours very turly.
