Well, even a $3.50 break in Sooville
will not be so bad. But we do want
at least three out of four from Oma-
ha The Nebraskans need taking
down a button hole or so.
Pipe this exclusive little smile Old
Sandy pulls in the Omaha World
Herald: 1.-The Topekans look natural
in first place-that is if you stand
standing.
When we read this we laughed the
laces out of our shoes. But when we
read the results of the Topeka-Omaha
games we hope to be able to laugh
the leather out of them-they came
from the Palace fire SALE
1t is fine thing for Bobby PEBBLES
to break a golf record. Bobby ought
to break more than he does But
why in the world does he go to En-
pOria to do 1t!
the Sue Suety Tribune says that the
Indians made apes of the Kaw High
brows. The comment on Tuesdays
game has not yet reached town.
Manager Wares of the Wichita
Wolves announced that ne wants 10
sign some real ball players. Also. he
says he is not discouraged in any sense
of the world.
A few deluded Wichita bugs think
they got Topeka's luck when they got
Il, al 1n n
if they did. The Savages win games
because of their ability; not because
of their luck.
Urban Faber, the favorite pitcher
of the White SoX fans, won his sixth
straight victory Tuesday. Faber is the
lad who broke the worlds record as
stingy twirler last week.
Speaking of umpires, the Sioux City
Tribune has the following to say about
Van Sycle: Umpire Van Sycle should
be made to realize what relief he
is in comparison with the late Mr..
Cusick. Van Sycle runs the game and
the game never runs him. That's be-
ing an umpire in the right way.
And here is what the Tribune says
about our magnate: owner savage
of the Topekans is the youngest boss
formerly secretary of the Kansas City
Blues. He claims to like Western
league clubs and company.
Betting forty dollars to ten that the
Topeka Savages won't win is not safe
thing to do until the ninth inning aft
er the last man is out. 1t is under
stood that a Topekan found this out
Tuesday afternoon.

success, but if they are, for goodness
sake don't let them get to the butter
milk can. Let's keep them soused un-
til after the sixth of next September.
The first two-day endurance run of
the Waterloo CAD Motorcycle club
will be held on May 80 and 81. The
course will probably be 5O0-mllc
circuit, and at least SO entries are ex-
pected for the event.
Under a new order from President
Tener National league umpireS are
not alternating this year, but one man
of each pair always works behind the
bat and the other on the bases. Last
year every pair except Klein and En-
size alternated in each game, but Mr..
Tener believes better results are OBJ
tanned by each man having a spe-
cialty and devoting all his attention,
either to calling balls and strikes or
to making the base decisions.
Notwithstanding that Lajoie will be
forty years old on September next,
Connie Mack, manager CT the Athlet-
les is authority for the statement that
Larry is playing the best brand of
ball he has exhibited in several years.
He's down to weight, being drawn
finer than for four or five years past.
He's hitting the ball at a 300 clip
and excepting for game or two has
fielded up to his old standard, and
that's well-nigh perfect.
Things For Them to Dream About.
For John Savage-The additions to
the grandstand and bleachers the al.
home crowds will force him to build.
For Wichita-A sure enough ball
team-one that will defeat Topeka
once in a while.
For Cy Forsythe-His old home
with the Topeka club.
For Walter Johnson-Speed, more
speed. high speed.
For Red Roche-A baseball dia-
mond with six bases on it so he can
steal more.
For Animal Dashner-A meal tick
ct at a certain Topeka restaurant that
would be good for life
For Washburn football players
The game that will be won from Ne
braSka next fall.
