TO MEET STECHER
Alan Eustice Will Go Against
Nebraskan at Clay Center.
Big Mat Bout VIII Be Staged
on Tenth of June.

Clay Center, Kan, June 2.-Mat
fans of northwestern Kansas have a
big treat in store for them on June 10
when Joe Stecher, the great wrestler
of Dodge. Neb.. is booked to meet Alan
Eustice of Wakefield, one of the best
grapplers Kansas ever turned out.
Inasmuch as Stecher is the biggest
drawing card in the United States to-
day the match is expected to attract
big crowd. Eustice promises to give
the famous scissors grinder a run for
his money.
The Kansan has the honor of having
stayed with Stecher longer than Hus-
sane and a number of other top notch
ers who have gone against him, and
inasmuch as he knows the style of
graphing he will have to contend with
his followers think that he has a fair
chance of winning or at least getting
a draw. Eustice is a clean, we'll built,
quick man and he is reported to be
working hard for the bout

The FIRE EATERS WON
Fuel Department of Santa Fe Defeated
Store Department by to Score.

The store and fuel departments of
the Santa Fe met in their annual base
ball clash Thursday evening at Santa
Fe ball park and the Burners won
by the score of to 1. To the victors
goes the annual prize, consisting of
key of nails mixed with spikes.
Edward DAILY, the old Milwaukee
veteran, spoiled the plans of king"
Brady's men to repeat last years vic
tory. The Fuelites were out for vic
tory and there was no stopping them.
The hopes of the Storekeepers were
somewhat like the recent revolution in
Ireland in that they were nipped in
the bud the first dash out of the box.
"Swede" Simpson was on the mound
for the Fire Eaters and his twirling
was the feature of the game. He was
in his old form and struck out men,
allowing only hits. Clark's pitching
for the Storekeepers also was not bad,
as he held his opponents to hits.

hitting. Thirty-six games nave peen

as no team is expected to do so well

some dangerous artillerymen in the

to be called promptly at o'clock and
an effort will be made to rush them

INCREASE LADY ATTENDANCE.
It is expected that the earlier

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO
BE A SLAVE LIKE TINKER?

Every now and then some ball
player who has been paid a large
salary for playing six months out
of the year and is sold to another
club because some magnate will
not increase the already unreason-
able stipend springs that old gag
about slavery in baseball.
Which calls to mind some such
case as that of Joe Tinker, who
has made sos, 500 in fourteen
years of major league playing and
has more than 5000 of it invest
ed in property at the present time.
All of which shows that being a
slave in baseball is often far bet
ter than being a professional or
business man.

also insufferable umpire alibi is back
on the job and a few managers and

Since the resignation of Andrews,
the league is running with seven
mask men, and no announcement has
been made as to who the fill up
man will be. However, it is under
stood that Bill Brennan, former big
Lacquer who has applied for a place,
will not be the man. Maybe Van

Cleveland American League Club Es-

Jim" Dunn'S pacemaking Cleveland
Indians, in the American league are
making coin as well as history. The
former Marshalltown man who took
over the Cleveland club, notorious for
its poor ball playing and hopeless
organization financially, should realize
handsomely on hts investment this fall.
According to an attache of the club
1t has played to over 100000 paid ad-
missions thus far this season, and al
ready has drawn more cash customers
to the Cleveland park than passed
thru the turnstiles all last season. In
three Of the first thirteen games staged
at home the paid attendance exceeded
10000 In four games at Detroit they
pastimed before $4,000 paid admissions
The club is not only one of the leading
money makers on the home field. but
has proved one Of the best drawing
teams of the league away from home.
Manager Jennings, of Detroit. de-
clares the Cleveland club should win
the American league pennant this
year, altho some Of the other league
bosses have predicted that the great
showing of the Indians was due to the
failure Of other clubs to get away to a
good start, and that the Clevelanders
would blow up before mid-season.
Jennings is of the opinion that the
Dunn club not only has the class but
the stamina to remain at the top.
