BY CLUG--

Goodwin, Kruger, WiesinS and AG-
Ter were kept busy upon their arrival
in the Hilly City shaking hands with
their old friends.
Kruger spent last winter in Kan
sas City, attending an auto school. and
he has many friends among the local
auto enthusiasts.
In Kansas City they are still relat-
ing how much money the X. c. Feds
made last season, despite the fact that
the club forfeited its franchise at the
close of the season.
Pitcher Voss, who is Il native of
Georgia. reported that his arm was
of Sundays game. Noss was in good
condition when he reported to Topeka
but the cold weather had a bad effect
upon him.
1t is now generally conceded by
members of the club that Hanson and
Kruger will land permanent berths
in left and center field and that the
fight for the right field job lies be-
tween Tydeman and Sweitzer.
Tydeman it is figured. will outhit
Sweitzer. but the latter is held to be
a better fielder, header base run
ner and almost as good a hitter The
showing these two men make between
now and the opening will likely de-
terrnine which is to set the steady
/ job.
1t is a shame to let such good
player as Trainer go from the club,
a member of the team-not baltimore
remarked when discussing the pros
poets in Kansas City after the game.
But" he continued, Il don't see how
he can beat out the other men who
are being given a trial"
Trainer is very steady player. He
is a certain fielder and ought to be
a 800 hitter this year. But he is up
against the toughest competition To-
peka outfielder has faced in several
years. If he does not land a regular
berth. it will not be because of lack
of ability, but merely that there was
too much talent pitted against him.
The Topeka players are stopping at
the Densmore hotel while in Kansas
City. In the dining room they have
girl walters. and Voss, a son of the
south, says that he would enjoy his
meals more if they had good old
southern darkies to dish out the hash.

player who did not get up in time
to shave before coming to Kansas City

here to even look in the direction of

Mt. Top Orchard.

i'll the county this year were practically failure and this is the kind of year when such an orchard comes in handiest. For what could be nicer than to have a few loads of apples to haul to town on the side so to speak and fetch in several big fat dollars at the present price. Several of the farmers in the Mountain Top neighborhood will have nice crop of apples this year and many of them make free use of spraying machines which they have purchased for their own use. There is more interest every year in spraying and caring for orchards and the old time method of allowing the orchard to take care of itself is almost thing of the past. The county agent is doing much to bring this about and people are gradually breaking away from the old methods of farming and fruit growing. There is no finer fruit country in the world than Arkansas though hundreds of orchards are shamefully neg lected every year.
