In spite of the fact that the man

made no announcement regarding the

catching on to the idea of rechriSten-

uously.
The plan as outlined in the Journal
the first of the week will probably be
adopted, but Mr.. Savag gee has not stat
ed positively that it will. Just as soon
as something definite is given out, the
plan will be announced by the State

TOpeka'S Baseball Fate in
Hands of Jackson and Savage.
They Will Be Responsible for
Seasons Baseball Showing.
BOTH ARE CAPABLE men
They Have Had Much Qualify
ing Experience in Game.
First Exhibition Games of Sea.
son Here X. c. Blues in April.

In large measure, the man to
whom Topeka will have to look for
the success of her baseball team this
season will be Jimmy Jackson, the
player-manager. Upon his shoulders
will rest the responsibility of the field
generalship, the actual handling of
the players, and his ingenuity in keep
ing all the men fighting all of the
time will be the secret of success if
there is any success to have a secret
In order that the fans may know
more about what Jackson has done
in the past, his record since 1901,
when he entered the big leagues is
given as follows:
In 1901, played with the Baltimore
Americans.
In 1902, with the New York Ma
tiOnals.
In 1904, with the ST. Paul Ameri-
cans St Paul won the pennant both
these years.
In 1866, with the Cleveland Amer
leans.
In 1907 and part of 1908, with the
Columbus Americans.
In the middle of the season of 1908
he took charge of the Lima team in
the Ohio State league when it was in
last place and finished the season
runner-up for the pennant.

With Wilmington.

league
| With Wilmington.
In 1928 and IA, he was with the
Wilmington team in the Tri-State
league. His record at Wilmington has
been given before. In 1912 the Will
mington team finished fourth. In
nant, and in 1914 he claims that he
had the team in second place, just one
game behind the leader, when the
club broke up and he resigned. 1t
| had previously been given out here
that Wilmington was in fifth place
last season when the team disbanded,
but Jackson claims otherwise.
| Taking this record from first to last,
| it is not a bad one. If Jackson is
now 33 years old, it shows that he
| broke into the big leagues when a
mere lad of 10. Since that time he
has been with teams that were pen
nant winners, and as manager he has
produced a pennant winner
| Probably his most remarkable feat
was in 1893, when he took charge of
the Lima, Ohio, team when it was in
last place in midseason and led it to
second place position before the
wind-up. Running baseball team is
great deal like running an engine
Any kind of a blockhead can run
either when everything is working like
it should and there is nothing to do
| but keep things oiled up But the real
skill of the engineer or the baseball
manager is brought out when every
| thing is going wrong and the different
parts have to be torn to pieces and
! put back together again Lifting a
| ball team out of the deepest rut when
the race is half over and driving it to
! a money place in the finish is a feat
that very few managers ever accom-
plish. That is just the reason that
men like Stallings are almost as scarce
as hen teeth.
| However, one of the most important
| features about Jackson's past career
| is that he comes here as a man who
is still a producer, and not as has
been" Last year and the year before
he was good producer in Whining
ton and it is almost impossible that
he can have lost all of his grip, even
if he has lost any of it since then.
The Owners Past.
Next to Jackson, the most impor
tant factor in the clubs destiny is
John Savage, the owner and the man
who is most vitality Interested in it.
Savage is the man who will dictate
the clubs policies. His principal
duties will be to pilot its financial
course and make it a business success.
And for this job he seems equally
as we'll suited as Jackson is for his.
Mr.. Savage is 81 years old, and his
actual baseball experience dates from
the spring of 1908 when he became
associated with George Tebeau, own
er of the Kansas City American Asso-
Citations.
Mr. Savage was born and raised in
Kansas City. While going to school
and while yet a lad he played semi
professional ball, and had several
chances to enter the old Missouri Val
ley League, but the financial induce
MIN on, and he entered a bank where
he worked for several years. Later
ne gave up the banking business and
was engaged in railroad construction
