Dashner showed a wonderful lot of
stuff to be on the losing end Friday,
and if he had been given the proper
kind of support, the game might have
been going on yet. Hovlik also pitch
ed great ball.
The fans who fell in love with Lin
damore the first time he made his
appearance here were not SO strong
for him after Fridays game. He did
not hit to suit them
On the last trip of the Drummers to
Topeka, Catcher Fusner got in Dutch
with the grandstand by blocking Man
ager Engie off the plate on a close de-
ciSion. He pulled the same stunt Fri
day when Devore injured himself slid
ing in. But Fusner's tactics apparent
1y do not strike the umpires as being
illegitimate
On the whole Fridays twin bill was
not a very satisfactory entertainment
from a local standpoint. But what can
you expect with Monroe on third base,
Engle on first and a pitcher in the
outfield?
In the last inning of the second
game it was deemed advisab BILE to send
in a pinch hitter for Sanders and
Bernie Doyle who has a batting aver
age of about .023 was the only avail
able man.
There is this much to be said for the
playing of Monroe at third base-it
isn't any worse than the playing of AL
len behind the bat.
Mr.. Felix Cooper may make a val
liable mound artist in time Certain
ly he has the physique. But before he
becomes a star he will have to learn
not to take too seriously the COM
ments made about him by the oppos-
ing players.
During the fair the Savages will
play their games in the afternoon as
usual. In addition to the street car
service that will be furnished, there
will be a five minute jitney service to

incompetent person, filed suit in the
| district court against A. T. McGhee,
The petition of the plaintiff alleges
that in the year 1912, or the latter
! part of 1911, the said f.. B. Cooke
| entered into a written contract with
A. T. McGhee and others whereby it
was agreed that the said Francis b.
| Cooke should locate a certain oil
! field, situate in Carter county, make
geological survey thereof and that
the said A. 7. MCGhee and others

the necessary funds to take leases.
and would take leases for the bene-
fit of F. b. Cooke, A. 7. McGhee,
equally. That the said plaintiff To-
Gated the Healdton oil field while
said contract was in force, and the
leases were taken for the benefit of
said persons in accordance with the
terms of said contract That there
after the said Francis B. Cooke be-
came incompetent to manage and
control his business affairs, and that
he is still unable and incompetent
to manage business affairs, and that
while the said A. II. McGhee and
others signing the contract referred
to appropriated the interest of the
said Francis B. Cooke, in all of said
leases: that the said Roy NJ. Johnson

ment with the plaintiff for the inter-
est of Francis B. Cooke appropriated
by him: that the said Francis B.
Cooke is now the equitable owner OF
one-fourth of the interest of said
A. T. McGhee. That the lands and
leases have been transferred to the
Crystal Oil company, and that said
A. T. McGhee received 26 and % per
cent of the stock of the said Cry
