PRESIDENT ADVOCATES
WORLDWIDE SUFFRAGE
DEBT OWED TO WOMEN SHOULD
BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND
PAID, HE GAYS.
President Takes Torch From French
Union and Holds It AIoft To Tighten
Pathway of 26 Nations Striving For
World Freedom.

WashingtOn.-President Wilson took
leadership in a movement for world
vide suffrage. In a striking response to
a memorial from the French Union of
Women Suffrage, indOrsed by the suf-
frage organizations of Great Britain.
Belgium, Italy and Portugal, he went
on record that equal franchise rights
for women shall be established def
nitely among all nations as a principal
achievement in the winning of perma-
nent peace. His message, transmitted
through Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
President of the International Woman
Suffrage Alliance, follows:
Il have read your message with the
deepes: interest, and welcome the Op-
pOrtunity to say that l agree. without
reservation, that the full and sincere
democratic reconstruction of the
world, for which we are striving and
which We are determined to bring
about at any cost, will not have been
completely or adequately attained until
women are admitted to the suffrage,
and that only by that action can the
nations of the world realize for the
benefit of future generations the full
ideal force Of opinion or the full hu-
name forces of action.
The services of women during this
supreme crisis of the worlds history
have been of the most signal useful
ness and distinction. The war could
not have been fought without them or
its sacrifices endured. It is high time
that some parts of cur debt of graft
tude to them should be acknowledged
anC paid, and the only acknowledge
ment they ask is their admission to
the suffrage. Can we justly refuse it?
"As for America it is my earnest
hope that the Senate of the United
States will give an unmistakable an
swer to this question by passing the
suffrage amendment to our Federal
constitution before the end of this
session
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson"
The memorial which the President
was answering follows:
In the historic message which an
ncunces to the world the entry into
tho struggle of American force and
thought you declared unfOrgettable
formulae upon which your great re-
public awaits a victOry-the right Of
peoples to selfdeterminatiOn and a
durable peace for generations to
come"

HE'S IN BAD PICKLE
If Weeghman Gives Alexander Bonus
Kifiifer Will Want One.

Chicago, Feb. "a serious problem
in baseball confronts Charles Weegh-
man, president of the Cubs, and
should he decide to pay Grover Alex
amber the $4,000 bonus the crack
pitcher demands before signing to
play in 1918, he will only confront
another money battle with Bill Kill
fer, the other half of the Philly bat
terry. 1t was learned here that no
sooner does Alexander get his coin,
and he will sget it or will NOT sign,
then Killifer will step in with the talk
that he, too, is entitled to a bonus, and
unless he gets $1,000 he will not sign.
The little act might be entitled play
ing both ends against the middle.
The move Is an unjust one from
every point of view so far as the Chi
cago boss is concerned. If Alexander
and Killifer brought 100000 to Phila-
delphia, they are entitled to a share
of the coin, but why make Weeghman
pay more when he already has given
a fortune?
Too bad the Cub boss doesn't say:
"You fellows are signed to the Ma
tional league. Either you join me on
the training trip and under the terms
of the contract, or I will suspend you,
and you do not get a chance to come
back al. season.
Alexander is under contract for
$4,000 a year, and tho he has picked
off several large chunks. he isn't the
kind who would sacrifice that amount
of coin

AFTER SKATING RINK
Todd Says Topeka Will Soon Have a
Real Athletic Club.

E. W Todd who is working with
Topeka Jack johnson to organize an
athletic club in Topeka, announces
that negotiations are on to take a ten
year lease on the old skating rink
building at Sixth and Quincy and that
things look favorable for the closing
Of the deal. All who desire to. enter
the club and to give it a boost while
boosting is needed are urged to re-
port to Mayor House, C. L. Mitchell,
of Crane & Co., Fred Voiland or to
Todd.
Topeka Jack johnson is at present
somewhere in the West acting as chief
trainer to Fred Fulton and he will
PROBABLY remain with the Minnesota
giant until the latter gets tired of try
ing to scare up a fight with Willard
However, Todd asserts Johnson will
continue to take an interest in the
Topeka athletic club and that he in
tends to return here Just as soon as
he gives up his work with Fulton, if
he. gives it up.

JUST ONE CHANCE
Western League Offers Topeka
Only Baseball Hope.
EIks and X. of C. Teams Hard
Hit by the War.

If Topeka gets back into the West
ern league there will probably be nj
tie serni-pro baseball here this sum-
mer. And the chances of another sea-
son of exceptional success like that
enjoyed by the Elks and Knights or
Columbus last season are slim in any
event. The war has taken too many
Of the local stars for the Sem1-proS TO
turn out high class teams.
II Tommy Brennan, who ran the park
last summer while managing the K. of
C. team, was asked what he thought
of the prospects and said:
'If there is no league team here you
may safely say that the Knights OF
Columbus club will be ready, willing
and eager to defend the city cham
pionship. However, quite few of the
players who were on the team last
season have gone into army service. 1t
may be possible to turn out team of
the caliber of the 1917 team and it
may not be, I can't tell just now"
Brennan to War Soon.
Brennan himself is not likely to be
here. When he filled out his ques-
tionnaire, he waived all exemption
claims aItho he could have been ex-
empted because he had not taken out
his second naturalization papers. Com
ing here from Ireland in 1909 he took
out his first papers when student at
ST. Mary's college but never went to
the trouble of taking out his second
until the war broke out. His order in
the draft insures him not being called
for quite a while, but he says he does
not intend to wait for the call and ex-
poets to enter the ordnance depart
ment if he can just as soon as he re-
ceives his second papers, which have
been applied for.
II left Ireland, one of the prettiest
countries in the world, to seek a land
of true democracy" Tommy said elo-
quently when discussing his probable
entry into the war, land now when
this democracy is in peril am willing
to do my bit and expect to do it,
Abbott Has No Plans.
Spencer Arthur Abbott, who ran the
Elks team last season, has made no
definite announcement further than to
say that if he does not get back into
organized baseball and Topeka does
not have team he will try to get
together club that will take on any
opponents looking for games How
ever, the Elks have also lost most of
their athletes to the army and may
find it hard picking if they decide to
put out a club just as the Knights of
Columbus will
There is little likelihood that an eff
fort will be made to revive the city
league and it seems that if Topeka
is really anxious to have the sport
there is only one thing for her to do
pay the price of bringing a Western
league club here and maintaining it.

ARE FOND OF TEXAS
Major Leagues Will Send Seven Clubs
There to Train This Season.

Plenty of major league baseball will
be given to the fans of Texas this sea-
son. At least seven big league clubs

HORNSBY IS BEST
Statistics Show He Is the King
of Shortstops.
Good Infie1ders for This Posi-
ton Hard To Find.

New York, Feb. 9.-Good short
stops are just about as scarce as coal
There is never spring training sea-
son that passes which does not see
from two to a half dozen big league
managers 6nkering with shortstop re-
cruits, for the good ones do not bloom
out very ofteff=~
When a new shortstop of first class
big league calibre does spring up he
is generally a bear, and such is the
case with Rogers Hornsby, of the st.
Louis Cardinals, who stands out as
the most valuable shortstopper in the
big show today
Hornsby is rated as the most valu
able short grass performer because,
unlike a majority of the players in
his position, he can hemmer the skin
off the ball He has not proven him
self to be the most finished fielder in
the business, but he ranks high among
them. and he is just at the top of his
career.
Chapman Is Second.
In CHASING the shortstops as they
stand today, Hornsby is placed at the
him comes Ray Chapman, of the In
dams. Chapman is d great fielder, a
clover base runner and a good, con-
sistent hitter. With Hornsby, he was
the only other shortstop to hit better
than 800 aast season, and Ty Cobb
ing something for Chapman as xalu-
able performer.
Third on the mythical list comes
Ownie Bush, of the Tigers Bush for
number of years has been the most
consistent scorer of runs in either
league. His ability as a fielder has
always been a strong point in his ia
vor and he is a good base runnercand
d dangerous hitter A batting average
of Psi is not to be sneezed at for a
shortstop, and that is what Bush hit
last year. 1t was his best hitting year
since he broke into the big show and
altho he is a veteran, he deserves rank
among the topnotchers.
Fletcher Placed Fourth.
Artie Fletcher, another veteran,
celebrated for his baseball ability in
is rated fourth. Fletcher is con-
sistently good shortstop, who seldom
changes from year to year. Rabbit
MaranvilIe, now1n the scrvice, comes
fifth. The Rabbit is a highly polished
fielder and a wonderful workman
around the bag.
Roger Peckinpaugh, of the Yankees,
is awarded sixth place in the list as
we have rated the players, with Dave
Bancroft seventh, Everett Scott eighth
and Witt. Of the Athletics. ninth. The
II tier player is a conner. Scott, a great
fielder, is not a terrific hitter. His
PA average last season was his best
since breaking in.
