holidays, he figures on nothing while
playing away from home except the
bare guarantee of $40 a game. In
making his expense budget he says
he has taken in the railroad war tax
the increased cost of hotel accom-

seasons mileage will amount to $500
miles. Furthermore. he says that I'M

gets on an equal footing he will not

SAYS IT'S A CINCH| STRONG FOR CUBS
Abbott Thinks Topeka Ball
Club Couldn't Fail.
He Says Advance Book Sale Is
Success Guarantee.

Spencer Arthur Abbott, who is be-
hind the new move to give Topeka
Western league baseball again, stated
today that he has already placed more
than 100 ticket books and he is con-
fidcnt there will be no trouble finding
fans to subscribe for the other $50
necessary to insure team. He says
that, in his opinion, the only thing
that can Keep Topeka out of the
league is for some of the other towns
to fall down and the club owners de-
eide not to start the season.
Abbott has waded into the PROPOSE
ton with both feet and he says there
will be no doubt about the city's abil-
ity to support a club, if she gets one.
Running expenses, he says, will be
furnished by the advance sale, and,
in addition to the 24,5O0 attendance
that viii be insured by this book sale,
an attendance of little better than 49,
OOe will make easy sailing for the club.
Books Solve Problem.
''These books that are being Sold"
Abbott explained will give a guar
anteed income that will pay more than
half of the whole seasons expenses,
and with an abundance of baseball tall
ent looking for a place to light it will
not be necessary to pay exorbitant sal
aries"
The tickets in each book, it is I'M
derstood, are to be numbered from one
to seventy and each ticket will be good
only Tor the game corresponding with
the number printed on it, altho it may
be transferred to another party if the
purchaser is unable to use it on that
day This feature prevents the holder
giving baseball party and taking all
of his friends to a game in one single
Gay ana II lnsureS steady attend
ance.
Abbott has gone into the proposition
SO extensively that he has figured out
what he expects the total expenditures
Tor the season to amount to and has
estimated an income that will more
than meet these operating costs. Here
are his figures:

is her practice TO drag the road at
least once after each rain. If the
rain has continued for two or three
days then il usually requires two
rounds with the drag, once dragging
in and then dragging out TO get rid of
the humps. | may say that for two
years have not found the section Of
