Sport Wheezes
by CLUG-

Wichita's mad, wild rush continued
Monday in spite of the best efforts
of the Savages, and now the Wolves
have ten victories to their credit out
of 2 days playing.
The weakness of the Savages that
has been apparent since the spring
training began was the cause of Thurs
days result. Ineffective pitching tells
the tale.
West who started Thursdays game,
is considered one of the best twirlers
the Savages have, and when the best
pitcher allows 10 hits and heaves away
a run or two on the side by his Wild
ness, then the remainder of the team
no matter now good it may be- can't
do very much.
OF course, there is still chance for
West and one or two of the other
pitchers to improve with the good
weather, and there is no doubt that
Topeka will have a fighting team all
the way. There is still a possibility of
stopping Wichita in this series. But
needed just now.

football coach. is quoted as saying he
