enough to sell players every season
and you can't depend upon such an
uncertain thing as this for your neces-
sary expenses. Money received from
the sale of players is just like money
taken in from a source altogether
apart from the regular operations of
a baseball club, and, altho I have sold
several players since l came here, L
might operate for several years before
deriving a cent of revenue from this
source again"
When asked if there were not a
remote possibility that he would keep
other trial. Savage replied:
There isn't chance in the world
If 1 do not find a buyer within the
next fifteen days, you can rest as
sured that the club will be moved
from here before the opening of the
1917 season.
IF there be any one here who wants
to see the club remain, 1 will gladly
sell out at a very reasonable price. But
two years of it have been enough TO
convince me that I would be foolish
to stay here another year and go
against the same kind of proposition
L have during the last two"
In the event no local sale is made,
it is very proba BILE that Savage will
take the franchise to Peoria. ILL.,. Kan

no announcement as to his plans in

Losses Have Been Heavy.
The Topeka club owner stated that
he has no hard feelings towards the
city OF Topeka or toward any one
here. but that from business stand
point it would be absolute folly for
him to continue operations here He
cited figures to prove his contention
Il believe a Western league club is
a valuable asset TO any city, he SAID
"and l believe that Topeka will some
day realize that as an amusement for
citizens of the town, as an entertaln-
ment for visitors III the city and as
an advertisement they had valuable
possession in their Western league
club. But the attendance figures or
the last two seasons show conclusiVely
chat they do lot want the club
enough to support it, and certainly
no one can ask me to go on losing
money year after year merely for the
sake of keeping Topeka on the base
ball map
Savage states that his losses for the
two seasons he has been in Topeka, in
ciuding the money for the sale of
players that he has expended, amount
TO approximately $4,000. His actual
cash losses amount TO more than
$4,000.
Last season $4,000 was received
from the sale of players to the big
leagues and the losses exceeded this
amount by S2,1O0. This season $S.05O
was received for Lambeth. DEBATE,
Hall and several other players sold
and all of this and $1,000 besides went
to pay the running expenses of the
club. The attendance this year was
nearly $4,000 less than last year and
the operating expenses were just as
much.

PUSHBALL GAME
Show Much Interest
in New Washburn Sport.
Many Curious to Learn Details
of the Contest.

The pushball game between the
freshmen and sophomores of Wash
burn college this afternoon as a spe-
cialty between acts for the entertain
rnent of the spectators at the Wash
burn-Cooper football game threatened
to overshadow the gridiron clash in
Importance today and many down.
town sport lovers planned to go out
to Washburn field especially to see
the pushball game.
The big six-foot ball with which
the game was to be played has been
a source of much curiosity ever since
its arrival in Topeka and wherever it
has been put on display has drawn
crowds of curious. incredulous people.
Many Inquiries.
How can any kind of a game be
played with ball like that" one I'M
familiar with the sport inquired to-
day, and many who have not been
frank enough to confess their ignor-
ance have undoubtedly been seeking
the same information in more of
''pussyfoot' manner.
However, those who have played
the game assert that its implications
are very readily mastered, and that
1t IS not as difficult or as complicated
as football and many other popular
games.
In the east pushball has become
very popular sport and many of the
larger schools have regularly organ
lied teams just the same as they have
baseball, football and basketball
teams.
The game is always played on fields
laid cut like football fields. Eleven
men usually constitute team, there
being five forwards, two left WINGS
two right wings and two goal keepers.
AS in football, the object of each team
is to push the ball over the goal line
of the opposing team.
The Scoring Simple.
Play is started by placing the ball
in the center of the field and the
players line up some distance from it.
At the referees whistle both teams
make a rush for the papa pil1' and
then all kinds of tactics including fly
ing wedges and bracing the ball in all
sorts of ways are used.
Scores are made when the ball is
carried across the last chalk mark as
in football. When the ball is booted
over the crossbar of the goal posts
eight points are scored. When the
ball is pushed over between the goal
posts, under the croSsbar five points
are scored, and when it is pushed over
within bounds but not under the
crossbar two points are scored.

CARELESS of the cause for the condition that
made it impossible for the club to prosper
here. the giving up of the club. if it be
given up, is certain to be black eye to
Topeka and it will cause many who judge
from surface indications only, to believe
that the capital of Kansas is not wide

Many undoubtedly will say that Topeka
would have supported the club and made it
