Sport Wheezes
by CIU6-

Thursdays game was that of seeing Jimmy
beefed and let the bars down for a rag
ging.
Cochran's one handed stab of Abstein's
full and lettings fly that Tydeman took
off the grass tops in the sixth were the
fielding sensations of the third Wichita
fracas.
Poor old Bill Abstein is getting so that
he just has to take nap once in while.
ing on his bag, Bill was snoozing when
Davis threw to him and Trainer romped to
second before he could wake up.
The disasters that avalanched on West
came after he had made a balk with Fox
on first Placing Fox on second put him
and this was the opening run of the game.
ninth inning it looked like rally might be
coming. but Davis gave way to Koestner
and Allen hit into a double play right off
the reel
In his first game at Lincoln. baltimore
certainly got away in great shape. Three
and two stolen bases made up his record
for the day.
The fight for leadership in the American
league and the American association re
sembles the Lincoln Savage fight of a few
weeks ago. Cleveland and Detroit should
have an interesting time of it for the next
few days.
! Next week will be a big one for the To-
I peka Gun club. In addition to the be-
/ ginner's program that will be staged, the
old members of the club will begin a series
of shoots for a DUPONT trophy

the members of the Topeka club and in
dicationS are that he will soon be in a
class by himself if some of the other cracE

What effect will war with Mexico have
on baseball in the Western and Other
leagues? Some seem to think it will prac
ucally kill the game while others believe
it will increase the attendance because ex
citemont naturally produces a desire fol
amusement.

ENCLE, OF W0RLD rs SERIES fame,
TO MANAGE THE Topeka SAvACES
Local Magnate Lands
Nationally Known
Big Lacquer.
He Will Be Here for
Sundays Games
With st. Joe.

Clyce Engle. former Boston Ameri-
can and ex-Federal Lacquer, who can
play any position on a team except
pitch and catch and who is a 300 hit
ter in the big leagues. has been signed
by John Savage to manage his Topeka
club. A telegram was received from
E,ngle today accepting the terms Of
fered by Savage and he will be here in
tine 20 take charge of the club for
Sundays doubleheader with the st.
Joe Drummers.
EngIe has been with the Cleveland
Americans this spring. Last year and
the year before he was with the Buff
faIo Federals and played third, first
and outfield. Engle was with the
Boston Red Sox before joining the
Federals and he won the 1912 worlds
series for his club when he knocked
the famous $4,000 fly ball that Snod-
grass dropped.
Engle is about 80 years old. but he
is still an aggressive fighter and Saw
age believes he is just what his club
needs to put it back on its feet
To Come at Once.
Savage has been negotiating with
Engle for several days, but it was not
until this morning that he was sure
of landing him. The telegram ac-
cepting the Topeka magnate's offer
said: viii get ready to leave at
once. Will wire when I start
This is the latest message Savage
has received. but if the new manager
leaves Cleveland today he ought to be
able to get here in time to assume his
duties for the games Sunday.
It is very probable that Engle will
play third base, at the start at least,
and that Goodwin win be switched to
Latin ore's old position at second
Goodwin is a regular second baseman,
and many believe he will go better
there than at any other corner of the
1ndeld.
Big Hero in 1912
The signing of Engle undoubtedly
viii create great deal of interest
among local fans. and the fact that
he is one of the famous individuals
of baseball should make him a big
drawing card all over the league. In
1912 Engle was the hero of hundreds
of thousands of fans. and he is said
to be a natural leader of men. In
1913. his last year with Boston. he
hit $50. and he has been hitting good
ever since.
In fact Engle is such a reliable
hitter that the Cleveland Indians have
been using him as a pinch hitter this
spring. It is thought that he will
step right out in the Western league
and that he will have no trouble set
ting the pace for Gilmore, Livingston
and all the other heavy sluggers in the
loon.
