Murphy and Frankenhoff Have Made
Good Showing in Experience.

Kansas City, Mo, March LEO
Murphy and Ferd, not Fred Frank
enhoff, two of the players that Own
er Savage of the Topeka club of the
Western league announced he had
signed Wednesday, are former pas
timers of the City league here. Muir
ply is a catcher and Frankenhoff a
first baseman. Both have had league
experience.
Murphy was signed by the Kansas
City club of the A. A. two years ago,
but each spring he was farmed to a
Northern league club and when the
Northern league season was over he
would come back and pasJime with
the Blues during their last games.
Such was not the case last season.
When Murphy came back to Kansas
City he was told by the Blues man
agement that he would not be needed
until the 1915 spring training. This
made Leo rather sore and he wrote
to Frank Farrell, 1.-THE angel for ball
players telling Farrell that the Blues
didn't want him to be with them the

last weeks of the season, but they
hadn't released him.
In his letter to Farrell, Murphy also
wanted to know if the Kansas City
management didn't have to pay his
salary from the time the Northern
league season closed until the A. A
schedule was finished. Farrell wrote
back to Murphy telling him that he
was being mistreated and that ne
would allow the claim against the
Blues. Another fact that is not known
by many persons is that John Savage
was the one who got Murphy his try
out with the Blues. Savage was then
secretary for the Kansas City club
and when he didn't have anything
else to do he would scout among the
semi-pros here, and after seeing Muir
ply catch only one game he recom-
mended the semi-pro lad to owner

nant F'rankenhoff was with the St.
Joe club of the w. i. while last
season, but in May he jumped the
club and played independent ball the
rest of the season Savage cleared up
the muddle and the st. Joseph leader
offered no objection to Savage get
ting his signature. Frankenhoff, who
is living in Atchison, Kan, had re-
ceived offers from several other clubs.

Englishman against the Californian.
Richie at no time during the bout
gave his hackers room for any doubts
of his being able to more than hold
his own. He rushed all over the ring,
sending lefts and rights to the head
and body. the body punishment being
the most severe.
Welsh Holds In.
Welsh ducked cleverly in the open
ing round and the blows that Richie
landed did not seem to have much
sting to them. In the second round
Richie stepped into a hard right up
per cut and while he forced the pace
the Englishman failed to open up.
In the third round Ritchie did near

away in the fourth, but Richie land

by two short right uppercutS. Welsh
caught Richie with a right hook as
the Californian was coming in but
Richie had the honors of the round
easily.
Welsh's footwork was very clever
and enabled him to avoid a good deal
of punishment in the following round
and in the sixth the British boxer
showed to better advantage as he
landed on the body and head several
times.
Richie Forces Fight.
Richie drove right and left to the
body in the seventh, and Welsh kept
dancing away to boots from the spec
tators and cries of why don't you
fight?" During the latter part of this
round, Richie was chasing Welsh all
over the ring. In the eighth Richie
forced Welsh into a corner and hook
ed hard left to the jaw, then crossed
his right to the head and drove the
same glove into the body.
Richie kept up the same rushing
work in the ninth and tenth rounds,
carrying the fight all the way to the
champion, who never was able to
gain the slightest advantage and failed
to place a round to his credit in the
entire bout. Neither man showed any
marks of the bloodless battle.

TAKE LAST GAME.
Washburn IchabOdS Show Class
in Final Basketball Contest.
Defeat the Ottawa University
Quintet 81 to 26.

Up and going all the way; Porte! Porter
Cra1gs Ottawa quintet and GRIP
Grays Ichabods wound up the bas-
ketbaH season at Washburn Thurs
day night with one of the closest ana
mots interesting games that has been
seen on a local court this year.
At the end of the first half, the
score stood 5 to IL with Washburn
in the lead. But at the beginning of
the second session, the OttaWans
made desperate rally and four goais
they were going to sweep the lena
bods off their feet. However, Ream
and Trobert, the latter playing for
ward for the first time in his career,
came to the rescue and each bagged
four field baskets, giving Washburn
the big end of the final score, which
was 81 to 26.
The first blood was drawn after
three minutes of play had elapsed
when Ream threw a free goal, the
opportunity having been presented by
later Beals found the basket for a
field goal, and Hanson followed with
the first score for the visitors
IchabOd Team Work.
Washburn's advantage came from
the superior team work OF her play
erS and their accuracy in playing the
ball up and down the field The work
of Ream and Beals was specially good
in this respect, and Beals undoubt-
edly played in better form than he
has shown in any previous game of
the season.
Trobert and Ream led in field goals,
both getting a total of five. E. Taylor,
Ottawa's all-KanSaS football player,
and Ream both made high averages
on their free goal tries, both count
ing five attempts. HanSon's field
goals were responsible for ten points
of the visitors total score, and he
was by far the best player they had
on the floor.

Wichita Paper Says Ex-Catcher May
Wear Topeka Uniform.

The following article appeared in
Thursdays issue of the Wichita
Eagle:
rs Johnny king of Kansas City,
retired ball player and of worldwide
fame in sport circles, interested in the
Topeka club of the Western League
drifted into Wichita The report has
it that King owns a half interest in
the Kaws, and when the season opens
he will be found on the firing line
.'It is said that King is one of the
hackers of Savage, reputed owner of
the Kaws, and that he is keeping in
the background until the season is
about to open. Then, so the report
goes, King will be signed by Savage
and will appear in a, Kaw uniform and
act as main backstopper for the team
Last year King was out of base
ball, but several weeks ago he an
nounced that he was contemplating a
comeback in the national game. He
said he was open for offers. To date
he has signed with no one, at least it
has not been announced
Purchase of the Kaws by Savage is
believed to be but a move to trans
fer the club to Kansas City, Kan The
report that King is interested in the
club lends more color to the trans
state that they believe the transfer
will be made. before the season is over,
or at the close of the season for a
certainty
When asked for statement regard
ing this story, Mr. Savage said this
morning: THE only thing 1 have to
say is, wish they would quit kick
ing the club around. Johnny King
does not own any more stock in the
club that Kaiser Wilhelm or the
Prince of Guberpatch does. The last
time I interviewed Mr.. Killing he said
he would not put on a uniform for
less than $4,000. a year. That is all

DEMOCRATS TO KEEP POWER
Record of Legislative Achievements Will Assure Party Future Vic
 tory at the Polls.

Frank B. Doremus. congressman from Michigan and chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign committee, said recently
 "The revision of the tariff. the new banking and currency law, the income tax, the development and extension of the parcel post, and numerous other constructive measures have increased the confidence of the people in the Democratic party. and have formed a record of constructive legislation un- paralleled in the history of the coun- try.
 What will it profit the people to re- turn the Republican party to power?
 What constructive program has it to announce?
 How much of the great work of this administration will it undo?
 "The American people have confi- dence in Woodrow Wilson. They re- joice in his patriotism and rrselfish devotion to duty. They will in the coming election return a Democratic congress to support him in his con- structive policies of progress and re- form. They will net elect a Republi- can congress that for two years would only embarrass. harass and antagonize him in the great work of restoring this government to the people,"

FIXED IT IN HER MEMORY
Ingenious Method by Which Lawrence Hutton Cured Waitress of Her
 Forgetfulness.

The late Lawrence Hutton used to say that having to take a little trou- ble would impress a fact on anyone's memory so that he would never be able to forget it. In illustration he would tell this story:
 "Our waitress, Maggie, could never remember to put the salt on the table, and time after time Mrs. Hutton would remind her to do 1t. One morning it was absent, as usual, and I said. Mag gle. where is the stepladder?'
 It's in the pantry, sir
 "'Please bring 1t in, Maggie I said, kindly.
 Maggie brought 1t in with a look of wonder on her face.
 "'Put it right beside the table, commanded; and when she had done so added, Now, I want you to climb up to the top of it, look all over the table and see if there Is any salt there'
 Maggie never forgot the salt again. n."-Youth's Companion.
