Royal Secrets That Are Stored Away

Royal Secrets That Are Stored Away
In Buckingham Palace.
I'VE may wonder if the world will
ever be allowed to see the private cor
respondence amassed by the late Queen
Victoria says a writer. 1t is stored
away in a strong room built into the
walls of Buckingham palace, and the
queen shared her confidence with no
one.
So long as she was physically able to
do so she opened and closed the safe
herself and arranged it's contents.
When she was too feeble to do this she
employed an old and trusted secretary.
but even he had to work under the
royal eye. He was never allowed to
keep the keys nor to read the letters
that he handled.
Queen Victoria was always a volumf-
nous letter writer, and she was in con-
slant communication with most Of the
royalties in Europe. Every domestic
secret and privacy Of royalty during
half century is said to be represented
by the contents Of this wonderful safe,
and it is easy to believe that the mod
ern historian would find bis hands full
If he were permitted to browse among
these letters.
But probably he will have to wait a
few hundred years, and then his pop
ular audience will be a, languid one. IL
is one Of the ironies Of life that we can!
never have thing when we want it.

NOT A CHARITY
Those Who Help Ball Team
Help Themselves and Topeka.
Ticket Selling Campaign Will
Be Begun Tomorrow.

Be a booster. Buy a book of base
ball tickets. Straddle your trolley
wheel over a live wire and join in the
procession that is going to put To-
peka on the baseball map bigger and
brighter than she ever was before.
These are to be the slogans of the
volunteer boosters who are preparing
to start out tomorrow morning on
ticket selling campaign to help to raise
money to start the Topeka team on
and his club against bad weather and
other misfortunes that might other
wise prove disastrous should the sea-
son be started on the ragged edge.
Sixty workers are to start out from
the Commercial club tomorrow morn
ing at 9 o'clock and before they have
finished their work they expect to
have canvassed every business man in
the city and say that they expect to
find customers every place they call.
Not Charity Work.
The campaign this season is not to
be conducted as a charity proposition.
No one is going to be asked to buy
book for the sake of helping along a
good cause like he donates to relig-
iOuS organizations and the ProVident
association, but the workers are going
to try to convince every business man
in the city that he not only is getting
full value for his money in the tickets
he receives. but that he is helping
boost one of Topeka's most valua BILE
assets and that in aiding the baseball
team he is aiding himself his own
business, his neighbor and the whole
city of Topeka.
To those who are actual baseball
fans there is every inducement for
buying book now in preference to
buying tickets to each game separate
ly. BY taking book of tickets they
not only help the club more, but they
save themselves the trouble of max
ing a purchase every time they go to
the park. and they get their amuse-
ment cheaper. Each book sold will
have bonus tickets in it. In the IS
there will he two in the SO book three
in the $40 and four in the s25.
Value of Good Team.
Business men who are not base
ball fans and who do not go to games
will be asked to buy books and charge
the money expended up to advertis-
ing. The campaigners will attempt to
show them that boosting a good ball
team such as Savage and baltimore
are planning to have is really the best
kind of advertising they can do for
their city and indirectly is a boost for
their own business as well.
Another argument some of the
campaigners are planning to make is
that if those who do not attend games
themselves will buy books and allow
their employees to take an afternoon
off once in a while to see a game they
will find that this will be an added in
centive to their workmen to give them
better service and the recreation de-
rived from an afternoon at the park
will make them physically and men
tally better fit to perform their duties
at work. This argument is being
brought home to all business men
more and more by the accumulation of
proof that no man can do maximum
amount of work without devoting a
certain amount of his time to rest and
recreation.

on Walsh's double. The last three
scores made by the visitors were all
punched in the seventh inning when
Leibold, McMullen, Ness and Moriarity
scored the first three.
Last Savage Run.
The Savages counted for the last
time in the seventh also. Hanson led
off with a single. went to second on
Kruegers hot drive at the pitcher that
was picked up by McMullen just in
time to cut off the runner at first and
then Manager baltimore came to the
front and batted an even 1000. driV

OF the new men who participated
in the game for the Savages, Kruger
and Hanson probably showed up TO
the best advantage. Lambeth's pitch
ing made a very favorable impression
on the fans, despite the fact that he
allowed four hits. He appeared to
have considerable stuff" and used
his noodle well.

LEARN THE DUCK wADDLE."
Purdue Football Players Are Being
Taught Some Brand New Tactics.

Lafayette. Ind, April 6.-The Ger
man army's famous Goose Step" has
nothing on the new Purdue duck
waddle" introduced to the members of
the football team by the new coach,
Cleo O'Donnell. The duck waddle"
is no parade step but a new mode of
battle advance Tor the rush line
Crouched until the knees almost
I touch the ground and with one hand
dragging and feet far apart the mem
bers of the Purdue spring training
squad are learning the step rapidly and
resist all efforts to overturn them or
force retreat. When the grotesque
figures first appeared on the gridiron
they caused much merriment among
the students but when placed against
an opposing line using last years tao
tics the smile of derision changed to
one of appreciation. The old style play
ers were overwhelmed
O'Donnell will place eighty per cent
of his confidence in the advance
guard in all games next season.

six good men still in the running for
three positions. However. if there are
any favorites to date they are Krue-
ger and Hanson, both of whom showed
good in Wednesday afternoons game.
In the infield it appears that Coch-
ran will be retained at short for the
time being at least with De Fate act
ing as a reserve possibility. De Fate
has shown so much class and natural
ability. in spite of his lack of expert
sible to let him go. Even if he does
not land regular place, he looks like
a mighty strong candidate for a util-
ity job.
In a short time now the pitchers
will probably be worrying about their
places as much as any of the MEM
bers of the club. Some of the young
sters will be expected to produce
something worth while in the near
future or offer evidence to show why
they should not be decorated with the
can. The pitching staff will be cut
half in two. before the season gets
under way, and it is to be expected
that the ranks of the youngsters will
suffer most in the cutting operations.
Just at present Manager baltimore
is not putting out any dope about his
mound prospects, but it is safe to say
that Dashner and Grover are not in
any immediate danger unless they lose
an arm, and there is every reason to
believe that Cy Marshall will make
good, although he is the latest acQui-
sition to the staff and has not had an
opportunity TO display his wares or

will be held at the Commercial club
Friday night to adopt schedule and
to arouse interest among more of the
men.

Sport Wheezes
by CLUG-

Mclean. of the Chicago Post, says
that the Sox second squad has been
playing better ball than the first
squad, so don't be surprised if this
afternoons score shows Lattimore's
team the winner.
When the Topeka admirers of Ty
Cobb learned that they would not get
to see the Georgia Peach in action
next Monday, most of them decided to
go out this afternoon and see Eddie
Collins, the next best man to Cobb in
the American league.
The statement that Collins is next
best to Cobb is based solely upon the
records. No doubt, there are quite
number of gentlemen in town today
who will assert that the statement is
incorrect and who can show that Col
Inns is really the greatest man in the
game.
Those who place Collins at the head
of the list do so by making a compari-
son of all around qualities. They
frankly admit that r. Raymond is en-
titled to the batting honors. but claim
that Collinss stick work is almost as
effective in deciding games and that
as a fielder, a base runner and a heady
player Collins has no equal anywhere.
Collins. by the way. not only is a
great baseball player but in his COL
lege days was "some pumpkins on a
football gridiron. And it's said that
even now when he is the idol of more
human beings than any crowned mon
arch upon the face of Mother Earth
solely because of his baseball ability
Collins considers football a greater
/ sport than baseball.
Two weeks from this afternoon the
eight clubs in the Western league will
lineup against one another for the
first regular games of the season. A
fortnight is not long time when a
man is waiting to be hanged, and the
/ pennant race will be upon us almost
before we know it.
Manager baltimore, however. does
not intend to let the getting off time
I slip upon him, and he says that his
men will be in the pink and ready for
the foe when the time arrives. About
j the only men now who are not in the
