SANDERS A HERO
He Pitches Joplin to Tie for the
Western League HOnOrs.
God of Baseball at Last Smiles
on John Savage.

The god who gives out rewards in
the baseball world has at last smiled
on John Savage, former Topeka mag
nate and now owner of the Joplin
Western league club. Sunday morn
ing Savage's team was just two games
from the top of the league and just
TWO games remained on the schedule.
Hutchinson was the only team that
stood ahead of Joplin and the two
games were TO be played with the Salt
Packers.
Savage, who has been directing his
own team since he fired Manager
Jack Dalton, sent Roy Sanders to the
mound in the first game-Roy Sand
ers the Pittsburg, Kan, lad who was
pronounced a flivVer by many Topeka
fans when he was performing here.
By Sanders was no flivver Sunday. He
not only pitched a shut out in the first
game which he won by the score of
to 0, but he came back in the sec
ond and repeated the performance,
winning to 0.
An Unusual Feat.
Pitching two shut out games in one
afternoon is a most unusual feat in
baseball. but it is much more so when
a pennant hangs on the performance.
The remarkable feat of Sanders was
never before done in the Western
league and probably never in any
league Yet Sanders was accused of
lacking intestines when he was in To-
peka.
As a result of the double victory,
joplin and Hutchinson will play off
the tie for the championship Two
games will be played at Joplin and
then the series will be transferred to
Hutchinson where the series will be
continued until one of the teams wins
three games The first game will be
played this afternoon.
Had Good Season.
joplin has had one of the best
teams in the w. L. all season Aitho
the team took a temporary slump
early in August, it was back on its
feet by the latter part of the month
and began a drive that carried it from
the second division to the top of the
first.
The winner of the Joplin Hutchin-
son series will play the winner of the
first half of the schedule for the sea-
sons title.

HUNT new TRICKS
American League Pitchers For
hidden To Use Shine Ball.
Eddie CicOtte Was Inventor of
Mystifying Delivery.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Sept 17.-Big Ban John
son has put the kibosh on the shine
ball"
A recent order sent to all American
league clubs warns against the use
of Tobacco, Hcorice or any other sub
stance which discolors the ball. and
any pitcher caught with the goods
will draw a five-day suspension.
So it appears that the latest wrinkle
invented by the slabsters will no
longer be a bone of contention in the
junior major league while in the
National league steps will be taken
soon to curb the use of any substance
with the exception of a little sand or
dust which a pitcher may use to take
the shine off a new ball.
Cicotte Inventor.
Credit for the invention of the shine
ball goes to Eddie Cicotte. the veteran
pitcher of the White Sox, but several
pitchers in the American league were
in on the secret The wonderful early
season showing made by Cicotte
caused rival managers to suspect that
the foxy veteran was using something
to assist in making the ball do queer
tricks on its way to the plate. And
when Eddie kept right on winning
they were sure of it.
How could a veteran like Cicotte
get by with so many victories if he
I
ing?" 1t couldn't be did, said the
suspicious ones. so they started to
watch Eddie, with the result that his
secret was uncovered
Got Good Results.
Eddie used a little licorice in much
the same manners as a spitball pitch
er uses slippery elm But instead of
using it to create a slick spot on the
ball Eddie used it to make one side
of the ball clean and white, and at
the same time caused a slight swell
ing of the cover as result of the
moisture. And Eddie got results. The
ball performed some uncanny gyra-
tons on its way to the platter and
proved even more effective than a
good splitter.
Clarke Griffith, Fielder Jones and
Lee Foil were the biggest kickers
against the shine ball They claimed
that Cicotte, Danforth and Russell
were all using it, and they attributed
the success of the White Sox to its
use Ban johnson got so many COM
plaints-tho he found nothing radi-
cally wrong-that he finally decided
to put the ban on the new delivery,
so the pitchers will have to invent
something else.

START GRID. men
st. Mary's Coach Begins Fall
Football Practice.
Squad Hard Hit by Graduation
and War Enlistments.

St Marys. Kan, Sept 17.-Hot
weather and precedent failed to stop
Coach O'Rourke from calling one of
the earliest practices St. Mary's has
had in some years on last Friday af-
ternoon- Forty hopefuls were put
thru a severe drill in which football
" as conspicuous by its absence. Gym
nastic work took up the larger part of
the afternoon, as the coach is a be-
lever in the axiom that good condition
is the biggest asset that a grid warrior
can possess.
Despite the lack of actual football
work, several promising huskies were
uncovered. Old Cupid Dubrouillet who
has been long creating a stir in local
athletic circles, arrived back just IN
time to don his moleskins for the in
itial practice. He is almost as big as
his name, for he himself weighs well
over 200. This is the man O'Rourke
is printing to fill the famous Conradt's
shoes at guard.
F'ullback was to have been filled
by Captelect Bannantine, but he
found football too tame, enlisted as
private in Battery A of Missouri, and
left thereby a big hole in a back1ield

tact for another year. Ganey. last
years stellar quarter, has been ac-

plot position is left to three scrappy
contenders- Mckinley and
Curran.
O'Rourke's chief worry at the pres
ent writing is his line. Last year
line has been sorely shot by gradua-
ton, CULTIVATION and enlistment. Good
tho green material he has, however. in
Fife, Lasnier, Cannon, McGl1nchy
and kean.
The schedule includes Wesleyan,
Ottawa, Hays, Midland, Bethany,
WaShburn and York. The latter is a
new dish to be served on Thanksgiv-
ing instead of the time honored Doane
game. The Washburn battle which
should be one of the hardest fought
in the conference, marks the resump-
ton of relations after a layoff of three
years. This contest should afford
quite a treat to Topeka fans, as bitter
rivalry has pervaded all their games in
the past

HERZOG QUITS GIANTS
Will Not Play Again Unless Health
Improves, He Asserts.

New York, Sept. 17.-With Charley
Herzog out of the game perhaps for
all time-the Giants today begin their
last western trip of the season. At
his home in Maryland, Herzog de-
clared that unless he improves great
ly in health. he will not return to the
anne, even for the worlds series. He
said he hoped, however, to get into
the big games.
Finishing up on their pennant fight
should not be hard for the lea ders of
the National league despite the loss
of HerZog. Seven more victories will
see the rag cinched for them. They
have 16 more games to play. The
Phillies would have to win nineteen
straight to even tie them should the
Giants win only six of their remain
ing games.
Bidding the home folk goodbye,
the White Sox again are on the road,
needing seven games to claim the pen
nant as their own. They have twelve
pastimes left on their schedule.
The Red Sox have eighteen left and
must win them all to tie the White
Sox. if the latter win only six of
their scheduled games.

NEW WALNUT FIELD WELL
Another Big Producer Brought in by
Kansas Oil Co.

Walnut. Kan, Sept 17.-Another
big oil we'll in the Walnut field, well
number one on the Glen-L. Bruner &
Company lease on the Jackson farm
six miles north of town, was drilled in

the field. Oil men say it will be the
best producer in the Walnut field and
a much better grade of oil. The well
will be shot this morning at II o'clock.
at which time an official report can
be made as to the actual production.
Oil men are hocking in every day and
bidding high prices for leases.
Walnut has taken on the appear
ance of a real oil town. The COM
mercial club is now making arrange
ments for negotiations with an oil re-
filming company located here.

instead of one. At first it was agreed
to play Sundays game and let it go

changed just before the Elks won Sun
day by the score of 3 to l.
