Savage Viii Try To Bring Ty
Cobb To Topeka Next Monday
Many Local Fans Anx-
iOus to See Games
Greatest Player.

Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the greatest
baseball player in the history of the
national game, will probably play in
Topeka next Monday.
The second squad of the Detroit
team will be here on Sunday and Mon
day. and John Savage, owner of the
local club, announced this morning
that he had wired the management of
the Tigers asking that Cobb be sent
here to play in Mondays game for
the benefit of the local fans.
While the second Detroit team is
playing here, the first team will be
playing in Kansas City, and it will
be an easy matter for the Georgia
Peach to jump over here for the Mon
day game. 1t is impossible to get him
here for Sundays game Is he is
already advertised to appear in Kan
sas City. but Savage thinks he can in
duce Jennings to spare him for a few
hours Monday and announces that he
will exert every effort to 90 so.
The telegram. asking for Cobb's ap-
pearance here, was sent to Oklahoma
City. where the Tigers are booked to
appear today, but if the telegram does
not bear fruit, Savage will probably
meet Jennings upon his arrival in
Kansas City and will make a personal
effort to land the biggest treat local
baseball fans have ever enjoyed.
If Savage does succeed in bringing
the worlds greatest baseball sensation
here he will earn the lasting gratitude
of hundreds of followers of the game
who have always wanted an Sppor-
tunity to see Cobb in action. And il

FALSE Teeth FADE NOW

Dentists Much Alarm.

Chicago, ILL.,, April Warning:
Don't send false teeth to the laundry.
They'll come back faded.
The Dental Manufacturers Club OF
the United States will meet at the
Auditorium hotel tomorrow and con-
slider the grave crisis that has been
caused by the shortage of German
dyes. The British blockade, prevent
ing the export of dyes from tie Teu-
tonic countries, has left American dem
fists in a sorry predicament.
The manufacturers say they have
tried in vain to find a satisfactory sub

Sport Wheezes
by CLUG-

The Washburn football followers
who make headquarters at the Joslin
pill shop have unanimously elected
Pete He'll to succeed Coach Gray at the
Ichabod school,
And, without any reflection on any
of the other candidates. it must be adj
mitted that He'll looks as good as the
best. AS to whether or not he will win
out in the scramble for the place, time
alone will tell.
He'll has the advantage of being
fresh from the east where they play
the game differently, even if they do
not play it any better. He has had
an opportunity to study under some
of the greatest masters of the game,
and he has been pronounced an apt
pupil by them.
Also, He'll has a local reputation for
being a hard worker and a man who
can bring out the best there is in a
squad. He already has d large follow
ing among the downtown football en-
thusiasts, and if he should be chosen
would insure larger attendance at
all Topeka games.
But, regardless of the. qualities or
the caliber of the man who is chosen
to succeed Grip Gray it is generally
Washburn circles. that it will be
necessary for him to receive more
support from the faculty than Gray
ever received if he is to restore Icha-
! bod athletic prestige.
| Since the first rumors of dissatis-
/ faction began to be heard around the
! campus it has been asserted that GER

oUENEMO H. S. CHAMPION.
Fast Quintet Took Both Usage Co. and
Fourth District HOnOrs.

Quenemo. Kan. April 4.-The
Quenemo high school basketball team
won the Usage county championship
by defeating the Usage City five Sat
urday night on the Lyndon court 33
to rs.
Ashcraft and Logan, Ouenemo for
wards were high scorers from the
field, each getting six field goals
Shirley of Usage City was high indi-
vidual scorer, getting five field goals
and twelve free throws. Quenemo
scored fourteen field goals to seven
for Usage City, but fell down on free
throws, making only five.
The Quenemo team also annexed
the championship of the Fourth con-
gressional district, having won it at
the tournament held at Emporia
March 10 and IL.

letics more as a necessary evil than as
valuable asset. And Gray's friends
claim that faculty handicaps have
been largely responsible for his fail
ures.
However, most of the athletic en-
thusiasts believe that the change that
is being made is indicative of an
awakening to the fact that creditable
showings on the field of sport are the
best advertising assets any school can
have and that supremacy on the grid
iron and the basketball court are too
valuable not to demand every effort
Washburn can make to attain it.
Another, and probably the last ex-
hibition game for the Savages has
been arranged. On the 18th Manager
baltimore will take a team to St.
Marys to play the st. Mary's college
team. Savage would have liked to
schedule games with K. U. and the
Manhattan Aggies, but an M. V. con-
ference ruling forbids it.
In Monday afternoons game the
yannigans were at bat and Grover was
umpiring when yannigan was called
out at first on close decision. The
yannigan who was called out wanted
to dispute the decision, but one of his
teammates called to him consolingly:
That's all right, he's a regular. you
know" But the man who was called
out retorted: yeah. he's regular
all right-a regular umpire, all right,
all right"
De Fate. the young Kansas City
phenom who looks like a sure conner,
was switched from short to second on
the yannigan squad Monday afternoon
and Bowling worked at short. De
Fate is only 30 years old and the only
real baseball experience he has had
was that of warming a bench for an
American association club iast season.
but he hits, fields, runs bases and
throws just like all of these accom-
plishments were natural with him.

A BIC FAN FEST
Large Crowd Expected at
Zehrung Meeting Tonight.
baltimore and All His Squad
Will Be There.

Every dyed in the wool baseball
fan. every near fan and every neo-
phyte is invited to be at the Com
mercial club rooms tonight at
o'clock to meet Frank Zehrung, the
new president of the Western league,
who has been induced to make a spe-
cial trip from Lincoln to meet the
Topeka constituents of his league and
to tell them of the outlook of the ma
tional pastime for the approaching
season.
Mr.. Zehrung arrived in the city this
morning and his schedule for the day
consisted of a short talk at the noon
luncheon of the Commercial club and
an appropriately measured address to-
night Also, he was scheduled to go
to the Savage park this afternoon to
look over the classy squad of men
Manager baltimore is rounding into
team.
AIR Zehrung was in Topeka less
than a month ago as the guest of the
local Rotarians. and he made such
favorable impression that John Saw
age and the other Rotarians who are
baseball enthusiasts insisted that ne
come back at a time when he could
meet more of the Topeka supporters
Of the game.
Players There Too.
In addition to meeting President
meeting will also have the pleasure or
seeing all the members of the Topeka
squad in street toys and of meeting
them personally.
This alone should induce quite a
few to attend. as there are so many
new faces on the clubs roster that
there is hardly n follower of the game
who can associate their names and
faces correctly. Also. there will be
other speakers besides Mr.. Zehrung,
and a tanning bee such as Topeka
has not had in years is anticipated.
Manager baltimore and his men are
now busy preparing for the exhibition
games tomorrow and Thursday with
9he Chicago White Sox. AS has been
previously announced, the second
suuad of the Sox will be here Wednes-
day and the first squad Thursday

CHARLEY WHITE TO X. G.
Glass of Lightweights Will Meet Mat
Wells Thursday Night.

Chicago, April Charlie White
and Manager Nate Lewis left Monday
night for Kansas City, where the
North slider engages Matt Wells on
Thursday night, instead of Friday. as
previously announced. They are billed
for fifteen rounds to a decision.
White boxed eight rounds at O'Con-
nell's Monday against three sparring
partners, and pulled up as fresh as a
daisy. Charley is always in pretty fair
shape, and does not need much work.
The weight they are making, 1876
pounds at 8 o'clock, is soft for him.

Today's puzzle picture represents
the name of one of the new Savage
players whose nationality has been a
subject of much discussion among the
fans. But regardless of whether he is
an Austrian, a German, an Icelander
or a Spaniard, it is admitted that he
handles himself like real player and
that he has a good chance to land a
permanent job. Mondays picture was
an easy one; it represented First
Baseman Mundy.

will open the 1916 baseball season
here today with the Kansas City Den

Coach O'Rourke has been putting his
hopefuls through daily practice, and
now has them in good trim for
hard season.
OF last years team the coach had
but four regulars to begin with, but
he has developed a number of players
who will make things interesting for
any of the teams that will ply here
during the coming season. Captain
Canary has been taking all the
chances offered him in left field and
his speed on the bases will make him
even more spectacular than last year.
So far he has been able to pilfer the
sacks almost at will
Sipes, the premier pitcher of last
year, shows great improvement and
the prospects are that he will be Il
hard man to touch for hits during the
coming season. Emert, another pitch
er. will bear the brunt of the work
with Sipes and promises to have the
opposing batters making desperate at

Bowling will hold down the receiv-
| ing position. St. Marys has had some
good backstops, but few of them
showed more class than the lad from
st. Louis. The infield will be fast
anu classy WIN GTlIIltn at lnlru,
Kemp at short, Ganey at second ana

The squad this year seems to be
one of the best smuggling outfits seen
at the college in some time and will
make things interesting for any of the
collegiate pitchers who will show here
during the coming season.
The White Sox game here next
Thursday has aroused great interest
and enthusiasm and the student body
is eagerly looking forward to seeing
Comiskey's men in their playing toys.
