Local Fans Fear Savages Are
49, Again Going Down.
Fridays Game Was of the Old
Style Variety.

Did the Savages only come up for
air in their last Topeka series with
Denver? Are they going to settle
back into the rut they have been wear
ing smooth for the last six weeks
again?
Local fans are giving these questions
.due and deliberate consideration as a
result of the two straight games that
have been lost since the Savase-Bear
arguments were transferred to the
home town of Ben Lindsey.
The Thursday walloping in the Mile
High village might have been excusa-
BILE, but Fridays to trimming IoOk-
ed very much like the score OF a TO
peka game before the close of the DIS
astrous reign of Latte baltimore. NOT
onIv did the Engle pitchers fail in
their efforts but the Savages again
were swinging without connecting
Monroe Only Slugger.
Eddie Monroe was the only Topekan
who got more than two hits in the
Friday fracas and the only others 20
get one were Goodwin, Devore and
Agler.
According to the dope, Engle's clan
never had a chance to win, but the
only reason they drew a shut out was
3 because they had no punch when a
i
ming Goodwin and Monroe got on with
no outs, only to die in the paths be-
rcause none of their brotherhood could
drive them in. Again Manser gave
three walks in one inning and then
tucked them out without permitting
a counter.
Bears Hit Hard.
In all the Bears made eleven hits,
eight off Hall in six innings, three off
Henning in one inning and none off
rVoorhies. One of these hits was a
homer, two were triples and one a
double.
Tomorrow the Topeka crew will end
its Denver stay with d double bill and
Monday a new series will be begun
with the Omaha league leaders. The
Omaha series should put EDgle's tai
4ent to the acid test and should give
some indication of what is to be ex-
pected when the final totals are MADE

NO LABOR DAY FIGHT
Proposed Willard-Fulton Bout Is All
Off, Collins Asserts.

Chicago, July 8.-The proposed
fight between Jess Willard and Fred
Fulton, heavyweights, for Labor day
is off, it was announced here by
Michael Collins, manager for Fulton.
Collins said that Willard had failed to
comply with articles of the agreement
which called for the staging of the
fight before the club that offered the
largest purse by July 1. Fulton
claimed the title of champion by de-
fault
Bids fer the fight were to be opened
in Chicago on July 1 and all details
were settled, Collins said. Willard
was to receive two-thirds of the $780,
900 purse offered by Harry Sherman
of Minneapolis, but Willard had re-
fused to go through with the contract,
according to Collins. In addition to
the default Collins asserted that Full
toms pugilistic record entities him to
the title over Willard.

SAVACES CLIMB
Agler Now Leading Batter of
the Topeka Club.
Denver Continues to Hog Indi'
yidual HonOrs of League.

Not yet do the official Western
league averages show a 800 hitter on
the Topeka club, but the statistics
sent out by Mr.. Howe this week at
least demonstrate that quite a few of
the local players are in action, NOV
ing upward.
Joe Agler. already and long since
the class of Engle's team in the field
ing department, has now hit himself
to the pace setting position on the
club with an average of .27S. Coch-
ran has climbed to second place with
PA and Schweitzer Is third with ,27S.
However, the most remarkable climb
made by any player is that made by
Goodwin. Two weeks ago Goodwin
showed as the poorest regular hitter
on the club, with an average of only
231. Now he is the fourth best hit
ter, with an average of 1855. The sta
tistics do not yet include the averages
of Engle and Devore, but it is safe to
say that when they break in they will
be up around the top.
Gilmore Still Leads.
Gilmore of Sioux City continues to
lead the league in batting. but Liv-
ingston, his teammate, has been
pushed into fourth place and John
son of Lincoln is now runner up
Cakes, Denver's manager, has climbed
to third place.
Dyer of Denver continues to lead in
home runs with 8; Shields of the same
club holds on to the stolen base hon.
ors with IS. and Kelleher. the other
Denver star. has scored more runs
than any other player in the league
being credited with a total of So. Kel-
leher also leads in three-base blows
with s, and Butcher Denver, has the
total base record of 1856.
In club fielding the Savages con-
tinue at top. and in club hitting they
remain at the bottom. The averages
in detail follow:

Moran battle. The states tax, he fig
ured, should be paid on the turnstile
count. But when the fight was over
no turnstile count was available fo>
some reason not clear to Wenck. The
state had to accept it's tax on the
statement turned in through the pro-
moters-figures that showed the re-
ceipts to be just about half of what
they were figured to be by men who
rarely foozle in their guesses.
And, in the meantime, Wenck and
his associates are doing q bit of
sleuthing, which may result in expos
ing some crooks to the naked eye.
Also it may bring about drastic
change on ticket collections in the flu
ture; the adoption of a rule placing
all entrance gates at big fights in the
hands of state appointees, who will
see to it that grating is stopped.

SCOREBOARD FLASHES

Fridays hero-Ray Schalk, White Sox
catcher, who stuck out his mitt, dived
into the bench and speared ball for the
second out of the inning. Most catchers
give 'em up ut about the same spot Schalk
dived from.
The Yankees are still going up and Cleve-
land is still going down. Three and one
half games between them now.
Frank Baker took a gamblers chance and
when with one SoX player out and
the bases full in the fourth he played
Shane Collins sharp rap for double in
stead of playing for the plate. 1t worked.
Cobb got three hits, one home run.
The Giants lost their first game west
ern soil when Max Carey, Pirates HEAVIER
got away with them.
Eddie Plank crawled out of the baseball
grave the prophets dug for him at the be-
ginning of the season and beat Walter
johnson and the Senators 3 to o.
Speaker was on the initial end of two
lightning doubles, but that was not enough
and the Indians lost.
Knetzer passed Mike Mowrey with the
bases full. That and two fielding errors
by the Reds at critical times were suff-
Gent to give Brooklyn the game.
