MUTTON PRICES TO Be HIGHER
Shortage in Mutton Supply Predicted
By A Wool Grower

Prices of mutton. now high, be-
cause of the European war, will go
still higher after peace comes. F. j..
Hagenbarth, president of the Nation
al Wool Growers Association, de-
clared in his annual address delivered
at Salt Lake City last week at the
53rd annual convention. The next
census, he said, would show short
age of 80 per cent in the fiocks of
the nation. A two years drowth in
Australia and the inroads of agricul-
ture in South America and New
Zealand, Mr.. Hagenbarth said, would
prevent relief from those sources
while African competition was not
pressing at present. The world g
wool supply is used up, with over
production impossible for many
years to come.
Classification of the public domain,
intelligent breeding, and sane tar
iff for wool protection were recon-
mended. The Forest service and
the Department of Agriculture were
lauded for opening Summer pasture
grounds "a policy credited by the
speaker to that distinguished and
far seeing patriot. Theodore Roose-
velt." Congresses past and present
came in for warm reprimand for
playing politics with the wool tariff.
Just how much it costs to raise
sheep was set forth, in terms shat
tering to a somewhat popular belief
that it costs next to nothing: The
cost involved in providing proper
land holdings (for lambing purposes) 4,
and for Winter feeding, after we
have included interest on the invest
ment and have made proper allow
ance for depreciation and loss, will
range from $5 per head per breeding
eve per year.
To cover this cost we must have
ewes which will shear ten pounds of
wool worth 20 cents pound and
which will deliver to us so per cent
of lambs at shipping time. at 81 per
head. Any excess over these prices
will spell profit. Anything less will
spell loss.

START AT 6 A. M.
Topeka Tourists Will Leave for
Dodge City Tomorrow.
Forty Expected to Make Trip to
Pop-Pop Races.

When most Topekans are getting
their beauty sleep Sunday at the
wee hour of a. M, Tenth street
and Kansas avenue will probably be a
n;ore wide awake spot than i; has
been in a long, long time. At that
corner at the hour mentioned above
between thirty-five and forty local
motorcycle enthusiasts will gather to
start on their tour to Dodge City
where they will attend the pop-pop
classic of the United States on the
afternoon of the Fourth.
The tour of the Topeka enthusiasts
has been prompted by the Topeka
dealers and bids fair to be the most
successful affair of its kind ever held
in the state. Thirtyfive riders have
already signified their intention of
riding in the tour and all plans have
been completed for the pace makers.
Courtney Elliott and Dean Rodgers, to
hit their saddles and throw in their
clutches promptly at bells. Follow
ing the leaders the members of the
party will get off as soon as they can.
Stop at Great Bend.
The first days ride will take the
tourists to Great Bend, Kan, where
an early start will be made the fol-
lowing morning so as to arrive in
Dodge City early Monday morning.
This will give an opportunity to see
the machines in practice and get &C
uuainted with the riders before the
big race starts the following morning
at IL o'clock.
There will probably be as many To-
pekans go by rail to see the big 500
motor race. A great number of mo-
torcycle riders have fourd that they
could not spare the necessary time 10
ride who have had to change their
plans and go out on the train.
The following will ride their motor
cycles, starting from Topeka: l. F.

Others From *. c.
Two or three different parties are be-
ing organized in Kansas City, some of
whom may ride to Topeka this even
ing, joining the Topeka tour here.
The remainder will undoubtedly join
the boys at Emporia. The entire ride
from Lebo, Kan, will be made on the
Santa Fe trail. The new trail will be
used from Lebo to Florence, where
the cutoff to Marion will be made.
From Marion to Lyons the old trail
will be followed. At Lyons the two
trails join and will lead the riders to
Dodge City.
The return trip will be made as the
riders wish. but it is very likely that
all will return on the Golden Belt
road. striking it at Ellsworth, Kan.

GROVER CLEVELAND ALExANDERIS
GOING GREATER Than EVER NOW
He Has Good Chance to
Smash His 1915
Record.
Morton Is Sensation of
American League
at Present.
BY FRANK G. MENKE

New York, July 1.-Grover Cleve-
land Alexander is aimed just now Tor
heights even dizzier than those he
climbed in 1915.
Alexis heaving a year ago was the
mightiest factor in the uplift of the
/ Phillies. He hurled brand of base
ball that few men ever have eQualled.
He worked like a Trojan. His Won
derful arm was called upon out of turn
very frequently-but it never failed to
serve.
Many there were who figured that
the 1915 strain on the pitching wing
of the Philadelphia phenom would re-
suit this season in loss of effective
ness. Not one fan in $4,000 cared to
predict that Alex might achieve a
record beyond that of last season. But
Alex has upset the dope by pitching
work of year ago.
The side wheeler worked in 40
games in 1915. He won 81 and lost TO-.
The other eight were no-decision at
fairs. as far as he was concerned, as
he appeared merely in the role of re-
lief deceiver. His 1915 average was
1856.
Already Won H.
Facing greatly strengthened clubs
all around the circuit, Alexander has
ploughed his way through them to IA
Victories in his first II starts, for the
amazing average of $50. That is a
mark that ranks alongside the great
est ever turned in up to mid-June by
regular pitcher. And Alex shows no
signs of skidding. Instead of his arm
weakening, it gains power. His most
recent efforts, in the main, have been
more wonderful than those in April
and early May.
With Alex going strong-and ever
stronger-and the whole team playing
air-tight baseball. is it any wonder
that Phillies fans are preparing to
gaze upon another world series with
in the confines of their drowsy city"
Morton A. l.. Sensation.
Keep your optic upon Guy Nor
tom enjoined Ed Bang, sporting eli
tor of the Cleveland News, a year or
so ago. If that boy ever gets even
a fair ball team behind him he will
blaze the trail for all the pitchers in
the Johnson circuit"
Bangs prediction has come true.
Guy Morton, the rookie" twirler of
1914, upon being accorded some pretty
good support by his Indian mates this
year. has been pitching at an almost
super-human clip.
He today ranks as one of the great
est pitchers in the game-and he has
MT reached his real crest. He is only
% years old and still improving. Civ
en- another year or so. he may set
pitching mark that may survive
through the years.
Morton this season won ten out of
his first twelve games. One of the
two games he lost was a hard luck
affair. He has wonderful speed,
some perfect curves, great control and.
in baseball parlance. "a noodle" He
lacks nothing in natural pitching skill.
Hes SOuthcrner.
Morton began his professional ca
reer with the Columbus, Ga, team in
the Cotton States league in 1915,
when he was 20 years old. He won
five, lost five games that year. In
1914 he was secured by the Cleveland
club and given training camp trial.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-07-01

Then he was sent to Waterbury. Conn.,.
in the Eastern association, for more
seasoning.
The youthful phenom pitched nine
games for Waterbury during the
spring and early sumner of 1914, and
won eight of them. Cleveland recalled
him during midsummer and set him
to work. Morton won nine out of
fourteen games for Cleveland in1914-
average .642. In 1915, with a miser-
able team behind him, he triumphed
sixteen times in thirty-one trials for
an average of SIG, which was far be-
yond the 1915 average of his club.
And now in 1915, aided by some
timely batting and backed by fine
fielding club. Morton's chance has
come-and, gosh, how he is whizzing
along,
POP Perritt has returned. He was
conspicuously absent, in a pitching
way, last season. John McGraw, as
you may remember, parted with
bundle of cash to secure POL" from
the Cardinals. While with the Missis-
sippi river outfit, POL performed
Pol" would do likewise-and a bit
more for the 1915 Giants.
But Pol" OF boy. flivvered badly
last season. He won twelve out of
thirty games, for an average of 400.
He was one of the best little in-and-
cutters of the year. John became quite
disguised with Pol before the sea-
son was over.
Now. however. POL is redeeming
himself. He started off in 1916 at a
nice elip-and he has been clipping
along very well since then, thank you.
He ranks as Johns most dependable
hurting person He has pitched some
awfully good game-and not very
many awfully bad ones. Which has
gladdened John, who has about con-
n1I n6 hnt of 1,a l,xs%
such a bad bargain when he lured
"Pol' into a Giant uniform.

The announcement of the sale of
lambeth was made by Savage at
Wichita Before going to Wichita
Savage stated that under no conditions
would he dispose of Lambeth before
the close of this season, and if the
present deal falls through he may
stick to his first resolve and keep him.
1t Would Hurt Team.
Local fans consider that it would be
putting Engle's men under big nam
fiicap if Lambeth should be let go ana
CulIamore should be brought on and
made to play against his will. Culla-
more undoubtedly is a good twirler
and should have an easy time winning
games in the Western league, put
there are few players who give sat1s-
faction when they themselves are DIS
satisfied
As to whether or not Lambeth's
poor showing Friday had anything to
do with Fastening the deal is not
known. It may have had. or the fact
that he knew he was going up may
have thrown him off his stride and
been responsible for his poor showing.
@But, regardless of the cause or effect,
s1he promising youngster certainly
Booked worse in the second Wolf game
Than he ever has and it was due to his
wildness and ineffectiveness that the
jackson pack was permitted to win
= to 3.
5 Lambeth walked ten men and al
1oVed eleven hits in five innings which
gave the Wolves all they needed. The
Topeka players also accumulated
eleven blows. but they were only able
to make them good for three counters
= The feature of the game, from To-
speka's standpoint. was the pitching OF
1rion after the game had been given
away by Lambeth. Irton took the
mound in the sixth inning and went to
the finish without allowing a hit or
score Goodwin led the Savages in
their stick work, getting three. Coch-
ran and Schweitzer came next with
awo each.

result of an injured leg and the un-

an outfield position was presented.
Monroe scored one run, but aside from
that he did not figure in the game i'll
any way.

stay tomorrow and will play Denver
here Monday afternoon.
