Sport Wheezes
by CLUG-

Playing Wichita and Denver, the
two strongest teams in the league, the
Savages have climbed to within one
notch of the Wolves, the league lead
erS.
The fact that this has been accom-
pEished on the road, where all of the
breaks are supposed to be against
them, should give the knockers and
pessimists food for thought.
Also, it should give the boosters an
opportunity to show their apprecia-
ton when the team comes home for a
game Thursday with Denver. If a
demonstration in honor of a baseball
team is ever in order. there are few
occasions more appropriate than
Thursday afternoon will be.
Several boosters have already con-
scented to meet the team at the train
in automobiles, and all who have cars
are requested to do likewise. The two
teams will go directly from the train
to the park, and a parade down Kan
sas avenue, with the Savages leading,
would be a nice thing.
So far as is known, no organized
effort is being made to stage a proper
greeting for the return of the Wolf
sca1pers, but whatever is done to
make the members of baltimore
team feel that Topekans appreciate
their efforts will be voluntary. George
Godfrey Moore, c. B. Jordan. DIR. F.
]. Ernest and a number of others
! have stated that they will be at the
depot with their cars. And others who
/ feel disposed TO help along the warm
/ ing up" are requested to do likewise.
Thursdays game with the Bears
was transferred to Topeka so that the
Denver club could make the jump to
| St Joseph Friday in time to play the
game scheduled for that day. Also
/ Savage consented to it because after
the 3-game series with wichita, end
ing Sunday, there will be no more
games here until the first of June.
The sale of Bugs Grover to Siouy
City came as something of a surprise
despite the fact that many local fans
were looking for something to hap
pen to him.
It was reported that Grover want
i ed to go to Wichita, but he denies thi.
