to 20. The following are the players
who compose the team: ALI Couple.
Tough, Dave Williams, Howard Gray
and ]. NJ. Davidson.
On returning from Denver. the
team will start on q GlascO to Kansas
tour and will meet any team along
the line that is looking for a good.
fast game.
It is understood that If Topeka re-
mains on the Western league circuit,
which is extremely doubtful, the open
at wichita. Also, the Fourth of July
game will be with Denver in the Mile
High city.
This Information has leaked out
from the league owners who are In
Chicago for the purpose of arranging
a schedule, but who have been held
up all this week pending action on the
Topeka muddle.
Also. it is understood that Topeka
had been awarded the shortest milage
routing in the league which shows
that the League owners are willing
to do everything possible to help the
boss out Of the ditch
A queer situation presented itself at
the basketball game between South
western and Washblrn Wednesday
night. AT the end of the first half
Southwestern was ahead and Coach
Bates was as mad as wet rooster
because his men were not playing to
suit him. At the end of the game
Washburn was ahead and Coach Gray
was just as angry as Mr.. Bates was
and had been.
The fact was that neither team
played an aggressive game. Seven
minutes of the first half had been
licked away before point was scored:
Often, when one of the players would
boil DC
as 80 seconds before "passin' 1t on.
In the second half Washburn did dis
play a little of her old-time Pep. but
even then there was not enough OF 1t
to sneeze about.
Tonight Southwestern plays Baker
at Baldwin City and tomorrow night
Washburn meets the Baldwfnites at
the same place. And. unless both
teams play different ball from the
variety they were peddling Wednes-
day night, Baker will have to have an
adding machine corps to be able to
count her scores.
Guy S. Lowman. athletic director at
the Agricultural college, appeared IN
Topeka as a sport official for the first
time this season when he carried the
whistle in the Washburn-Southwest
ern game Wednesday night. Mr.. Low
man is the kind of official who believes
there is only one way to run a game
the right way-and he comes as near
doing it as any man In Kansas. some
of the players think he is too strict.
but he merely makes them hew close
to the rules and don't allow the play
ers to dictate to him.
Mr.. Lowman says baseball prospects
are bright at Aggieville this year ana
that indoor practice will begin IN
earnest in a short time. No ar
ranEements have been made as yet
for a football coach hext fall, although
there are many applications for the
lob and 1t will be an easy matter to
get a good one.
Mr.. Lowman will continue to coach
baseball as formerly. in spite OF the
fact that he has a mans work In his
regular capacity. But. coaching base
ball is his specially. and there Is not
a man who is familiar with his work
along this line who won't tell you he
is the best in the state. and then
some.
Charley Deal, who has jumped the
Braves for the Feds because George
Stallings would not consent to raise
his salary, really had much to DO
the Athletics last fall. His playing
at third base was nothing short OF
brilliant, and it is questionable II
Red" Smith, whose place Deal took,
could have done as well. In the nrst
game Deal probably paved the way
Schmidt's throw to third after the
latter had gone to right field for
Bakers foul and Schmidts throw
went to stop Murphy. Deal made
remarkable stop of the ball. and then.
by a quick twist OF his body, touched
the runner, just In the nick OF time.
This happened in the first inning. Il
was Deal who made a two base hit
over Strunk's head. and it was he
who scored the only run that after
noon Deal also figured in the play
that day when Schang was retired
while going from second to third on
half passed ball by Gowdy. Deal
handling the throw perfectly. In
the two games at Boston Deal played
without flaw.
