Baptist church, unsheathed his knife

serted that no effective action against
vice conditions in Topeka had been
taken since Wilson was unseated. He
also sail that Mayor House went to
small Town to choose a police chief
who knew nothing about conditions in
the city, for the reason that he didn't
want anything done in remedying con-
ditions. Then he went on to give the

the cops naughty names and declaring
that they were recruited from the
ranks of the "loafers. gamblers,

BEzDEK IS BUSY
He Hopes To Give Pittsburr
Real Team This Season.
Pirates VIII Not Miss Services
of Mamaux.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, March 4.-Pittsburg fans
are taking lively interest in Hugo
Bezdek and his Pirates.
Unlike the Pirates of the past two
or three years, the Buccos of 1918
appear to have something. They have
been strengthened by trades and pur-
chases during the winter, and they
are looking up.
In other years the Pittsburg team
has been vitality weak in many of
the most important positions. Bar
ney Dreyfus and Bezdek got their
heads together and decided to rem
cry these weaknesses. They have sue
ceeded admirably.
Get Valuable New Men.
The acquisition of George Cutshaw
and Casey Stengel will work for the
uplift of the team beyond a doubt.
With Max Carey and Stengel sure to
fill two outfield positions, and King.
Bigbee, Jackson and Hinchman to bat
tie it out for the third position, Pitts
burg is well fixed. King has shown the
earmarks of a terrific hitter, and he
may bloom out just as Eddie Roush
did last season.
The Pirate infield candidates rep
resent lot of strength as they stand
now. Vic Safer is the leading candi-
get a trial. Pitler and Cutshaw will
be the second base candidates and
Boeckel, Cation, Stumpf and Hans
Wagner will be out for the other po-
sitions.
Not Grieving Over Mamaux.
The Pirates are not mourning the
loss of AL MamauX. The young hurler
did not show Bezdek or Callahan any
class last year, and, besides, he was
dissatisfied. In Cooper the Buccos
have one of the best left-handers in
the National league, while Bob Steele
and Earl Hamlin complete the south
paved branch of the staff. The right
handlers are Carlson, a big. strong
youngster with 1917 experience
Evans, Hill, Jacobs and Miller. who
should be ready for regular duty or
the firing line, and Milligan, Sanders
and Ponder.
Six catchers will battle for the
regular jobs, with Bill Fischer the
leading candidate for first catcher
again this year. The remaining Pirate
windpad artists are Blackwell, Schmidt
Shaw, Smith and Bill Wagner.
All in all the Pirates look much
better than they did a year ago. and
if Bezdek should be fortunate enough
to uncover a crack infielder he could
well afford to rest on his oars.

Saline Co. Oil Company Plans to Do
More Prospecting.

Junction City, Kan, March A.
Drilling for oil or gas is to be re-
sumed in Saline county at once. This
decision was reached at a meeting of

county, and will proceed to erect a
standard derrick on one of the plots
near Salina. While equipment, par
ticularly casing, is difficult to secure.
the directors are confident that they
