Before leaving for Kansas City, en-
route to Lincoln, where he will attend
the Western league meeting Monday
John Savage, owner of the Topeka
club, announced that he had signed
bill" Mondy, a double action left
handed first baseman, and Hi West
Pacific Coast pitcher. Mondy is a
double action lefthander in that he
both bats and throws lefthanded. and
he is said to be a fast and promising
youngster. Pitcher West was for six
years with the Toledo club of the
American association.
Also. about the time Savage was
closing the deals for his new first
sacker and pitcher, he received let
ter from Bill Fisher, who held down
first last year, stating that he was in
better condition than ever before and
that he expected to bat and field in a
new record breaking stride this sum-
mer
Last season Fisher was one of the
best fielding players in the league, but
his batting was weak. If he can i'm
prove his stick work this year as he
expects to, he and the new Mondy
will make each other hit a fast clip
in their effort to land permanently on
the pay roll.
Mondy began his professional base
ball career in 1913 with the Ports
mouth club of the Virginia league and
made good showing. That year, the

records show, he batted .293. stole 10
bases and accumulated 95 extra base
hits. At the end of the season he
was sold to the Boston Red Sox.
In 1914 he played in IT games with
the worlds champions and batted
.255. He was then sent to the New
England league, a Class organiza-
ton and hit 1858 while there. In the
New England league he played first
base in 35 games. fielding for a per
cent of .965 and he also played out
field in 70 games for a per cent of
$40.
In 1915 he played in the Buckeye
league, hitting over 800 and making
the best fielding record of any first
sacker in the league. However, his
complete 1915 record is not available.
The signing of Mondy and West in
dicates that Savage intends to carry
out his assertion, made some time ago,
that he is determined to make every
player work for his place, and that
he intends to bring on enough players
to insure a good hitting club and d
club backed by good pitching.
Savage denies that there are any
"hold outs among the players to
whom he has sent contracts. 1T is
true some of them have not signed up
and have asked for a reason for the
reduction in their pay checks, but they
will all be in when the bell rings,
the Topeka magnate asserts.
