TELEPHONE 'TICKLER'
Topeka Company Reminds Preachers
of Red Cross Sermon Sunday.

Every minister in Topeka will
preach a special Red Cross sermon
next Sunday according to a promise
given to the Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone company Wednesday. Acting
in compliance with the request of
President Wilson and the American
Red Cross the local telephone COM
pany called up every minister in the
city Wednesday and notified him that
he was expected to deliver a special
Red Cross sermon next Sunday.
Most of the preachers had already
made plans to do this, but they APP
preciated fully the efforts of the tel
ephone company in reminding them
of the fact
The plan was originally the idea
of the officials of the Southwestern
Bell Telephone company, and the
presidents request came in respone
to their offer of the use of the i'm
mense resources of the company in
quickly carrying the message to the
various ministers. The same proceed
ure was followed in every city where
the Southwestern Bell operates tele-
phone lines.

DOYLE OFFICIALLY GIVEN JOB
AT SECOND BASE
BY Mark Shields

Larry Doyle will play second base
for the Cubs tomorrow in the open
ing game of the 1917 season against
Pittsburgh. Doyle told Manager
Mitchell after initial practice on the
North Side lot that he was in condi-
ton to play and Mitchell promptly
made the announcement official.
This ends a couple of weeks of
false predictions, during which it was
said either Zeider or Yerkes would
be at the keystone when hOstilities
were begun. AS late as yesterday
there was a strong report that lei
der would have the job. To these re
ports we have paid little attention,
going on the assumption that the in
field would be composed of Doyle,
Workman, Safer and Deal.
Doyle, even with his ankle a bit
weak, is needed. He is a fighting,
aggressive type of baIplayer and
such a man is sadly needed to speed
up the first line defense of the locals.
Safer is a quiet fellow, and so is Deal.
Workman makes some noise, but
none of the trio has the pepper and
dash of Doyle.
Larry will be field captain, and his
judgment in the position is excellent.
A man with authority and courage to
give orders on the field is an imper-
alive need of the North Siders. Nit
chelI is putting together a new team
of cogs that have never worked to-
gether before, and there are bound
to be rough spots that will be
smOOthed off quicker with an able
field general in command.
1t is a safe prediction that Doyle,
once the game begins, will pay little
attention to his ankle. In the heat
of battle he will run the bases with
his former speed, take a tOe-hOId
swing at bat and cover as much
ground as is necessary. On the
training trip he was almost as good
