Several Magnates in P. C.
League Want Our "Bugs."
Savage Admits He Has Been
Asked to Set Price.

That Bugs Grover, one of the best
pitchers on the staff of the Topeka
Savages, may be disposed of before the
opening of the season is the latest con-
tribution of Dame Rumor to the hop
per of baseball's local talking ma
chimes According to the rumor, sew
oral clubs of the Pacific Coast league
have their eyes on Bugs and are
willing to part with some long green
OlIs of more than slender proper
tions to get him.
John Savage, president of the local
club, did not seem inclined to want to
dis close any of the facts in the case
when interviewed on the subject, bp-
admitted that he was asked to quote
the price he would take for Grover
when on the coast recently, and also
that he had had some Correspondence
since returning home.
According to the rumor, Ham
Patterson, ex-Wichita manager, who
viii have charge of a Coast league next
season. carelessly dropped the remark
when talking to crowd of magnates
that he considered Grover one of the
best. if not the best pitchers in the
Western league. And this remark Is
said to have lea several of the mag
re ties to enter into negotiations for his
purchase
Grover, at times last season, pitched
a brand Of ball that was invincible,
and it was thought that he certainly
would go up. In fact, the local club
was the recipient of a proposition
from the American association that
was not accepted. Then Grover and

| policies Jackson was using in regard
| to changing pitchers, and for quite n
while Bugs did not do SO we'll
However, towards the end of the sea-
sen he hit his stride again and was

US to maintain a state tax rate of $l.25

15 per cent (s436, 721.1S5) is owned
by the various public utility compa-

of mere thu n 100000. 600 of proper

States Property.
The state itself owns property in its
various public institutions valued at
$21, SOC, O0o-more than double the
value of the states property when
these bonds were issued twelve years
ago No doubt we have not expended
all the money for public institutions
that many OF US would like to see ex-
pended; but doubling our state prop
erty and the expenses of it's admins
tration in a decade can hardly be
called nigsardly policy. Nearly $2,-
100000 was distributed during the
year through our hospitals. asylums,
orphanages and other public and pri-
vate charities.
Kansas municipal bonds are as sal
able and at as low rate of interest, as
any municipal bonds in the nation. Al
least half of the municipal securities

GROVER TO COAST OPEN RACE Meet
Tiajuana Events Start Today
With Bright Outlook.
Carranza Sanctions COnces.
siOns Made by Gov. Cantu.

Los Angeles, Jan. 1.-The opening
of the Tia5uana races this afternoon
is an assured fact, according to no
less a parsonage than the governor of
Lower California, E. Cantu. In a tele-
gram sent Thursday night to his bro
ther-in-laws Fred Dato, who was stop
ping at the Hotel Hayward in his
city, Governor Cantu wired, 'I will
meet you ac Tiajuana for races on 81"
These facts were given out by Dato
in an interview before he and James
Babcock had left for Tiajuana in a
machine. P. Dato. father of Fred
Dato, met Governor Cantu at Calexf-
Governor Cantu has already sent his
band to be at the opening ceremonies
which the governor will conduct in
pei son.
Fred Dato explained that an agree
ment had been drawn up between
General Carranza and Governor Can
III. In return for recognizing the Car
rama government Cantu insisted
that his officers be recognized and
that all concessions granted by him
be respected by the Carranza govern
ment. Carranza agreed TO this and
thus the concession for the Tfajuana
race track was officially sanctioned
by both Carranza and Governor
Cantu.
Hundreds of queries have come to
US asking whether the races will be
run on New Years. on account of
stories current that Carranza will not
allow US to Open," said Coffroth, head
of the jockey club of Lower Califor-
mia Il want to state, however. that
the track will positively open New
Years and that the Lower California
Jockey club viii carry out its promise
to open on schedule time and that
everything is in readiness for the visi-
tors"
