iris BIG FACTOR
Speaker Put Real Life Into the
Cleveland Indians.
Foil Admits His Club Is Play
ing Championship Ball.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

view DIX, May l9."Le6 ROM Qe-
cfareS-but not boastfully-that his
Indian crew is on top of the American
league heap because it has been play
ing championship baseball.
Team work is the real secret of
ager of the Cleveland squad. 1.-The
boys all are playing together. Indi-
vidual starring is an unknown guam
tty with US now. And, best of all,
the utmost harmony prevails When
you get such a combination you usual
ly find team that is up near the top.
'-Our pitchers ar going good. Some
folks think they will crack later on
1t wouldn't surprise me if they pitched
even better baseball when warmer
weather comes. Two or three of my
slabmen are hot day pitchers. Yet
they have been able to win games in
near zero weather and hold the oppo-
sition to a small number of hits and
runs.
The Lucky Breaks.
Eyes, we have been getting some
of the breaks But isn't that part of
baseba1l2 Furthermore, we haven't
had more than our share. To some
tories have been lucky. But those
who have analysed our record find
that most of the so-called luck we
have had has been nothing else but
offered and then riding through ON it
to victory.
Those who say everything has
broken well for us overlook the fact
that Ray Chapman, our shortstop. has
been laid UP with a bad knee. Chap
man ranks as one of the best short
fielderS in the game. This loss nat
urally has weakened us to some ex-
tent, although Wambsganss has filled
in the gap very we'll
Are you fellows nourishing pen
nant hopes ?" we asked.
Our whole thought now is to win
today's ball game answered Foil.
I'VE aren't dealing in futures. Our
business is that of the present. We
are going after every game just as if
that one game meant the pennant.
That's the only way"
How about Speaker? How much
has his presence meant?''
He's Big Factor.
Much was Fohl's reply Before
the coming of Iris the team itself
ranked only ordinary. But when Iris
got into the lineup it acted like an
electric vibrator on the rest of the
boys They knew what Iris could do.
They knew about his wonderful field
ing skill and great batting hen
they sat down and refigured their
chances.
without Speaker the boys figured
they might be in the fight With
Speaker they decided they would be
| in it. Iris filled them with pep and
| fighting spirit-and the result is APP
parent now in the standing of clubs. .
The Indians in II home games SO
| far this season have drawn "a, 900
Their total home attendance in 1915
was $4,000. Should they go home
| from their eastern trip in first place
| it is certain that during the following
| 10 games the attendance surely will
| total beyond 5000. That would NEAR
, then that the attendance for 20 games
| in 1915 would be greater than fol
all the home contests last season.
AS a road attraction the Indian:
are the real thing in the johnson cir
cult just now. If they keep on draw
ing at the present rate, they will have
| played to more abroad crowds by
June / than they did in all their road
games year ago.

Sport Wheezes
by OUG-

: 1t is evident that the Lincoln Duck
lings intend to make the plucking of
the curl feathers in their tails a diff
cult task.
Before the opening of the season
there were some who doubted that
they possessed curl feathers But
from the way they bucked up to the
Savages, it appears that there is no
further ground for doubt.
However, the Savages made a cred
table showing in the home town of
President Zehrung. The Lincoln Star
says: 1.-The Savages impress critics
daI gerous in the hitting end of the
game, despite the fact that the Kan
sans are leading the league in club
fielding
Wichita's reputation for being the
home of bad men is growing by leaps
and bounds. Recently a candy maker
put a professional wrestler out of
business by poking his toes in the
wrestler's eyes and by trying to chew
him up raw.
Mrs. Top, the Texas woman who
gave a shooting demonstration in To-
peka Thursday, used a 2 gauge gun,
the popular mans size. Another
proof that woman is mans equal,
even as a trigger puller-
WANTS SPRING PRACTICE.
DR.. Kennedy, the new Washburn
football coach, says that he would like
to get the Ichabod material lined up
in spring practice, if only for a few
days, and there is a possibility that
an effort will be made to do this.
IF L could get the men out for a
| few days. Kennedy said, .'it would be
of great benefit to both them and my
self and I feel that 1 could give them
some pointers that they would find
useful next fall"

sands of dollars worth of the big

been manufactured and shipped. Each
machine is carefully inspected and

MUD Never Stops Them
The merit of the four-wheel drive
equipment is the big feature in the
trucks and tractors turned out at the
Morton shops Three wheels stuck
in mud almost up to the axle, do not
prevent the truck from moving even
when loaded heavily, and tests of this
sort are used in the inspection work
of the machines.
