ROWLING SEASON
ON; STAG ALLEYS
TO OPEN TONIGHT

Another indication that summer is
ON the wane and that the days of in
door sports are drawing nigh is found
III the fact that Topeka bowlecs are
getting ready to declare war on the
ten pin.
Tonight the formal opening of the
Stag alleys will be an event of impor-
lance to all who enjoy the strike
sport and Doc Hollinger, the chief
bowling ma gnate of the city, predicts
that a big season is at hand. Inter
estine feature events for the opening
Of the Stag alleys were being arranged
today, and in a short time now the
sport will be in full swing with old RI
walls settling arguments with deeds
rather than words and with the win
ter tournaments looming i'll the vista.
The Stag alleys have been put in
first class condition and a number of
improvements have been made. The
Y NJ c. A. and other alleys of the
city will probably be popular rendez-
vous for the rollers in a short time
now.

Miss Kitchell Wins Women's
Topeka Tennis Title.
Nettels and MacGregor Finish
Their Battle Today.

Darkness prevented Topeka tennis
dom from learning the name of To-
peka champion in mems singles but
there was no question about Miss
Bertha Kitchell being the woman's
champion. Likewise. little Lucille
Smith, the 15-year-old Potwin girl
who has been the seasons sensation
in local tennis, is without doubt No. 2
in the woman's ranking.
Miss Kitchell won by scores of 81,
6-3. Miss Smith was nervous and not
on her best game but Miss Kitchell
worked a plan of campaign that would
have been successful in any event
Making every return deep to Miss
Smiths backhand she rushed to the
net and usually killed the weak re-
turn Miss Kitchen seems to be the
only woman player in the city alive
to the possibility of a consistent net
attack
MacGregor and Nettels battled till
darkness before a big crowd and when
the match stopped MacGregor led two
sets to one and rs on the fourth set.
Nettels played fine tennis, coming to
| the net at every opportunity and pull
ing off some fine vol1eys and smashes.
The gallery applauded him time and
again.
MacGrcgor Disappointment.
MacGregor's play was disa ppointing
in view of his real capahIlity. He
played Hstlessly and without aggres-
siveness, taking the net on barely hall
the opportunities afforded him. When
at the net he passed up chance after
| chance for a kill playing with what
seemed to the spectators needless eau
ton. However, he made some beauti-
| full placement shots on both volleys
and returns and some fine defensive
lobs.
The former Chicago player has a
| finish to his style and stroke lackins
! t.. the average Topeka player, ano
seems to be more thcroly aware of the
strategy of the game. 1t was a disap-
pointment that he did not furnish the
gallery with a more aggressive ano
clean-cut play than he showed. The
match will be finished this afternoon
| The doubles were started, two
matches being played off. Myers and
Michael upset the dope pot by defeat
ing Heath and Burch by scores of ga
10. The doubles will probably be fin.
lshed Saturday afternoon.

diets one of the Oldest big league
traditions. Nearly always when

league the older of the two is the
star. and the younger doesn't come
near his quality. For instance,
Buck Ewing and John Ewing, John
GARRISON and his two younger
brothers: Fred Clarke and John
Clarke: Tyrus Cobb and his broth

er Pfeffer is a better pitcher than

CAN'T SEE White
Menke Does Not Think Chicago
Lad Has a Chance.
He Says Welsh Is an Unbeat-
able Champion.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York. Aug. 30.-Three ring
battles are to be fought on Labor day
that may-but probably will not
bring about some changes in the king
dom of fistiana.
Johnny Kilbane for the first time
since he became champion i'll F'ebru-
airy, 1912, will risk his title in a 15-
round decision bout with challenger
dead kd"-who is really worthy of
the name; Freddie Welsh. after more
than two years of no-decision "bout-
ing" will indulge in a 20-round deci-
sion bout with Charley White of Chi
cago. The third battle of Importance,
will be between Frank Moran and the
mastodon, Carl Morris, in Tulsa, Okla,
if the authorities permit it to be
staged.
Kilbane Not in Danger.
CLANCY is amazingly confident that
his meeting with Kilbane will result
in winning for him the featherweight
championship. But the fight fans. as
a whole do not share that confidence.
The consensus of opinion is that the
speedy Kilbane will outpoint the Bal
timorian by the proverbial mile.
CLANCY has acquired a great repu-
tation as a knock 'em out bloke. He
has floored a host of boys, but most of
them have been littlemore than dubs.
Clancy against a fast, shifty battler,
has not shown up so very we'll. He
may slip over a lucky punch to the
jaw or torso of the Irish champion
but that only is a remote possibility.
Kilbane is a greater warrior than
supposed. He has fought some poor
fights. but it always has been against
poor fighters. The poorer his foe the
poorer Kilbane is. Kilbane never has
of
But he always has managed to out
point the other goofer. The CLANCY
battle will call for Kilbane to put
forth the best that is in him and the
champ may flash some startling work.
Slim Chance for White.
If Freddie Welsh fights the same
sort of battle he put up against Benny
Leonard in their last meeting, White s
hopes for the championship will go
glimmering. Welsh, in perfect shape,
and willing to mix it. is an unbeata bI y
champion: ringster with an almost
impregna BILE defense, and the ability
to cut in time and again thru even
perfect guard-and Whites is far
from that
True White outpointed Welsh in
Milwaukee and would be champion
now if that bout had been to a deci-
sion. But it wasn't-and Welsh didn't
exert himself to gain points then. His
dual aim in that bout was to save him
self from a knockout-and to get the
money. He accomplished both.
But this Colorado affair is different
and White will face a different
champion. Welsh knows he must gain
points+that he must fight or lose his
title. And he will choose to fight.
White is not boxer of the Welsh
standard. The Briton can Outlook him
any day in the week. But White is a
slugger, packing a powerful left. If
he can shoot home that wallop. pro-
PEELED by his powerful body and send
it to the jaw or the heart of Welsh a
new champion probably will be born
ten seconds later.
