FOUR MORE CONE.
Higgins, Blanchard, Weidel
and Sutton Get the Ak.
Monroe Ought To Be Leading
Catcher of the League.

This morning Manager baltimore
got busy with his pruning knife, and
as a result there now are four less
candidates for the Savage team than
there were yesterday.
Pitcher Squire Higgins, Catcher
Blanchard, Outfielder Weidel and In
fielder Sutton composed the quartet
that was decorated with the insignia
of the can. All are to go to the Fort
Dodge club of the Central league, and
it is understood that strings are to be
kept on Higgins and Weidel.
In explaining the curtailment, Lat
timore said that Higgins, the only
surprise in the package, was shipped
because he had not shown what was
expected of him, and it was felt that
it would be better for him and for the
club if he were sent to a place where
he could get regular work and more
experience.
Higgins Local Man.
Many of the local fans regret to see
Higgins leave because he is a Topeka
product, but he is yet quite a young
ster and a little more experience in
company not so fast may be the very
thing he needs to bring him into his
own.
1t was generally expected that SUIT
ton would be among the first of the
recruits to depart. and Weidel, al
d
about as much chance landing per-
manent berth in the outfield as Villa
has of going to heaven after he has
been captured
Blanchard looked like he might
have the making of a fairly good
catcher in him. but with the arrival of
Monroe and three other good back
stops to compete with the odds were
too great for him to even have hopes.
Eddie Monroe came in Thursday.
He is looking good and says he feels
like a million dollars newly minted.
He will be in uniform for the first
time this afternoon.
Has Old Determination.
Naturally Eddie was a bit disap-
pointed when Brooklyn turned him
back from the big show without even
giving him a trial. but he says the ex-
perience has only made him more de-
termined to make good and show the
Ebbetts aggregation where it over
looked a big bet.
Local fans of course, would have
been pleased if Monroe had been Civ
en- a chance and had made good, as
he undoubtedly would have, but there
| is not a one who is not more than glad
he is to be with the Savages again.
Already they are predicting that he
will be the backstop sensation of the
/ league this season, ana there are few
who do not realize that his presence
on the club will strengthen its pen
nant possibilities a great deal

ended up their scoring in the seventh.
With one down Agler got to first on
Jackson's error and crossed the plate
on Sweitzer's drive to left.
The Last Scoring.
The eighth inning wound up the
scoring for the Sox. Murphy, lead off
man, was first up and singled to CEN
ter. Weaver famed, Collins singled
and Eller, who took Jacksons place
when the latter was switched to first
after Fourier had turned his ankle
pushed one into right field that scored
Murphy. Jackson then connected with
a two-bagger that brought in Collins,
and. Felsch lined a triple out to right
center that scored Eller and Jackson.

Today's puzzle picture represents

OF course it might be argued that
the big leaguers did not extend them
selves like they will when the pen
nant race begins, but no one noticed
any of them asleep during the game
and along toward the sixth inning
when Sanders was holding them hit
less their fighting spirit became evil
dent in several localities.
All of the above has been related,
not to disparage or minimize the
strength of Mr.. Comiskey's players,
but merely to show that despite their
greater training advantages and their
supposed class they are not very much
superior to the great outlay of talent
Savage and baltimore have brought
together right here in Topeka
If this column has ever had a ia
vorite in the American league 1t has
been the White Sox, and it would be
gratifying to see them win this year.
But it also is gratifying to know that
the brand of ball they furnish their
Chicago South Side patrons is very lit
tie better than the brand of ball the
Savages are going to furnish to their
Topeka patrons this year
Speaking of the pennant possibilities
of the Sox, it might be worth while to
note the views of Manager Pants
Rowland on the subject
of course Mr.. Rowland sees his own
team first and believes it is going to
be a winner this season. But he says
he considers Boston and Detroit the
most formidable opponents he will
have to race.
Rowland is not bothering much
about the St. Louis Browns, despite
the fact that they have been greatly
augmented by the consolidation with
the st. Louis Feds. New York looks
more dangerous to me than st. Louis, -
he said before leaving town.
Pressed for an opinion on Bonnie
Kauff Rowland said: 1T was unfor-
tunate for Kauff that the Federal
league had to disband, but it was for
tunate for him that he didn't land in

Senatorial Primary
To be Held Aug. 3.

At a meeting of the senatorial
committee of the Twenty-eighth

purpose Of nominating a candidate
for senator for the district.
End. All white democrats of
said three counties composing
said senatorial district, without
regard to past factional differences,
who will pledge their support to
the nominee of said primary, and
who under the law will be eligible
to vote in the regular November
(1916) election, shall be entitled to
vote in said primary election.
3rd. No poll tax receipt or
registration certificate will be
required of the voter in said

WAVE OF PROSPERITY.

Not within the memory, perhaps,
OF the present generation has there
been such a wave of prosperity as
is now sweeping over this fair land
OF ours.
This paper is not claiming that
the democratic administration is
altogether responsible for this
healthy condition of our nation.
Nor do we know that the present
administration has anything at
all to do with it. But if a former
democratic administration was
held responsible for a panic, then
is it not fair and equitable to &C.
credit the present democratic ad-
ministration with good times?
The daily press almost daily
records the advance of wages of
different classes of workingmen.
Factories and mills and mines
that have long laid idle are re-
Stunning operation and there is a
general call for labor Of all kinds
u a living wage scale. The OPP
1eration of soup kitchen is only a
1lory. No more do we hear of
the unemployed. Cattle and hogs
and all farm products are bringing
top.notchprices. Living expenses
are within the bounds of reason.

tending a helping hand to the

little towns beauty. There has
been some small degree Of effort to
improve the looks of the town, but
not enough. There are some
hedges in this town that need to
be trimmed and shaped; some
front yards need identifying;
homes need painting; our streets
are in a miserable state of repair;
the telephone and light poles
ought to be painted to a height Of
ten feet from the ground; whole
carload of lime could be effectually
used on the outbujldings and
fences and trees, etc, All this
should be done with the idea in
mind of attracting attention to
Dresden, the town beautiful. Only
last week gigantic good roads
meeting was held at Jackson, at
which committees were appointed,
looking to a link of the proposed
Davis highway from the lakes to
the gulf, which it is proposed to
extend through this county, and
even if Dresden should not be d.
rectly upon this great highway,
which is to be travelled annually
by thousands Of tourists, we
might, at least, attract some Of
these tourists here by the beauty
of our town. Every citizen, white
or black, Of Dresden can aid in
this matter.

Woodrow Wilson is the presi-

and has for some time been facing
q great crisis. As president of these
United States, Mr.. Wilson and as
suchwill have the hearty support of
every true, loyal American, wheth-
er democrat, republican or what
not, in this crisis. The puny, mar
row, little effort upon the part of
top-waters to belittle the president

testants for the direct nomination
such as the publication of the
primary call, poll lists, ballots and

expense necessarily incident to the
holding Of said election. In order
to provide for this contingency
each candidate shall deposit with

next, the sum Of SIS, and should
only one candidate qualify by
making such deposit by July 20,

may designate his choice for each
