JOHNNY EVERS STILL HAS
HIS OLD HOT PEPPER BOX

Jawn Evers, one of the Cubs and
Braves, but now wearing the uni
form of the Phillies, may lose his
batting eye. Jawn may also lose
his ability to scamper around sec
oond base, scooping up everything
that is hit in his direction, but
Jawn still retains his peppery
nature.
During the recent lamented ser
les between the Phillies and Giants
-lamented in Philadelphia
Jawn was not in the lineup. Bert
Niehoff was holding down the key
stone sack for Moran, and -Evers
played his game on the coaching
lines.
Every time Evers amb1ed out to
the coaching lines the fans were on
him. And every time the fans got
aboard Johnny chawed and wran-
gled back at them. The chewing
matches between Evers and the
grandstand bugs were almost as
interesting as the ball games, for
Evers was as full of pepper as the
world is of trouble, and well say
that's some full.

OUTLOOK Is GOOD
High School Has Five Full
Football Teams Out.
Faculty Talent Will Help
Bearg To Coach.

c. H. Hepworth, athletic director
of the high school, is not worrying
very much about the depletion of the
ranks of his athletes by the war.
With five full football teams out for
practice and every man equipped
from head to heel. why should he
worry?
I'VE have lost some of our best
men and may have a hard time lind
ing players to fill the positions at CEN
ter, quarter and full back, but with
the wealth of material on hand, l be-
lieve we. can do so and am confident
we will be able to hold our own with
the best teams we meet"
Elmer Bearg, coach, is just as opti-
mistic and as enthusiastic as Mr..
Hepworth, and he is going into the
practice season with oidtime pep that
made him one of the best players
Washburn ever had and that made
him the all-state full and half back
two years.
Have Able Help.
Bearg will have able help this sea-
son in F. W. Mccoy, an old Missouri
Valley star who played one year at
K. u. under DR.. Kennedy and three
years at the University of Oklahoma.
Mccoy also coached the Oklahoma A.
and M. team one year and is well
versed in all matters pertaining to
the gridiron. He will be Bearg's as
sistant tEruout the season.
The high school this year has more
of an athletic faculty than ever be-
fore and in addition to Bearg and Nc
Coy, there will be Page, an old Wis
consin star who coached the Cold
water high school basketball team
last season; Leslie Partridge, former
professional baseball player; and I. J.
Bright, who played three years on the
Emporia Normal football team at
quarter and who has played profes-
sional baseball in both the Kansas
and Nebraska state leagues. All OF
these men will assist in coaching all
branches of athletics and with theil
help green men should be turned into
veterans in the shortest possible time
First Game Oct. 6.
The first football game on The
schedule will be played here with the
Frankfort high school on October 6
Frankfort had a crack team las
season and claims to have one this
year. Among the big games of the
season, the ones with Kansas City, st
Joe and Manhattan are expected tt
prove the hardest.
The high school boys are now rrac
ticing at the Western league baseball
park and expect to play all of theil
| games there. Bearg, Bright and Nc
| Coy expect to do considerable official
| ing during the season, both in higf

that were not justified.
When Fohl took the reins at Cleve-

club. and the rumor Jmongers pre-

Cleveland had to have a manager, they
said, TO insure the future success of
the club.

Fohl's work for a few months he was

Battery Boys Night.
A soldier slept on his short cot,
His feet hung DER the end,
He dreamed of battle fierce and hot,
His line would give and bend.
He tossed his blanket to the ground
And Rugged his pillow tight;
Here came the enemy on the bound
HeadIong into the fight!
Our hero kicked his canvas bed
And made a mighty lunge;
Here came the Kaiser out ahead,
For him he made a plunge.
The scenes were shifted in a wink
The Kaiser was football Gink-
He lugged the ball right down the field,
The opposition had to yield.
Our hero took another snore-
Made a flying tackle
He dumped Old wilhelm DER and DER.
How his bones did crackle!
Old Kaiser Bill, knocked out dead,
Could not keep from fumbling
He went a-tumblin' on his head,
Mumblin', grumblin', tunblin!
Hero scooped the ball and scooted
Right on for . touchdown,
Crowds cheered him and also hOoted
wilhelm without his crown.
The game was over. the war won,
But just before election day
