BASEBALL WAR
AT ITS HEIGHT
Yankees Stronghold Forti-
fed With Coin While Ban
Prepares to Saw Wood.

A war problem of major Importance
is keeping the baseball strategists
busy these days for the issue between
the conservatives and the radicals in
the American League is big enough
for the league of nations. Numeric-
ally the forces of Ban Johnson, riled
by the Mays injunction, are superior,
but the opposing faction, headed by
Coils. Rupert and huston, of the
Yankees, are reinforced by oodIes OF
coin and plenty of money will come
near winning any war
The battle is now raging The
Yanks and Red Sox committed the
overt act that started hostilties-
switching of Carl Mays, a pitcher in
bad repute, from Red Sox to Yankees
Ban Johnson's long distance gun an
chored in Chicago. fired a broadside
into the Yankee bailiwick, the charge
consisting of indefinite suspension for
Mays. Col. Huston, veteran Of the
world war. brought in his allies
Comiskey from Chicago and Frazee
from Boston. They hired some pro-
fessional soldiers (attorneys) and went
Ban one better by firing back an In
junction preventing Ban or anyone
else in the American League from IN
terfering with Mays pitching. John
son lined up sharpshooters from Cleve-
land, st. Louis, Philadelphia, Detroit
and Washington and advanced on the
east front.
Typewriters and megaphones are
playing a prominent part in the battle.
Guerrilla warfare has broken OUT
and minor leaguers are entrenched
along the battle front firing at both
sides indiscriminately.
Baseball had to halt and watch the
other world powers fight it out last
summer. but now that the other world
powers are exhausted and are resting
the baseballers have started a war or
their own.
Ban johnson is fighting for his life.
He's afraid if he loses his enemies
will try to exile him and he doesn't
want to chop wood the rest of his
days as the Kaiser is doing

Murder Farm is Revealed
In Town of Many Thrills
Up as Skeletons Are Dug Up and
Man Is Jailed.

Maple Hill. Kans., Aug. A-Concefv-
ed in a town site fight. born with a
murder, Maple Hill has had many
stirring days. but the excitement since
the settlement by the whites never
eQualled the present succession OF
thrills and horrors.
Several ranchmen fought over the To-
cation of the townsite when the Rock
Island Railroad was built through
Wabaunsee County in the eighties.
George Fowler. a member of the pack
ing firm. won and the town was
located upon its property known as
the Middle Ranch" The day the
lots were sold several special trains
were run from Kansas City to Maple
Hill. A few minutes after the first
train arrived a dozen gambling games
were going. Someone shipped in a
car load of liquor. There were fights
without number and in one of them
young man was stabbed to death.
Regular Movie stun.
The life of the town the next sew
eral years was turbulent In the
nineties the settlers had become so
numerous the ranches were much
smaller and of the original only one,
the old Fowler ranch, now known
as the Tod ranch. remains today.
The last thrill furnished by the
ranches was in 1898 when John
Thomas, cowboy, was discharged.
Returning from Kansas City a
few days after losing his job. Thorn
as rode to what was called then the
West Ranch" and opening a door to
room in which several men were
sitting. fired dozen shots with II
revolver. wounding five persons, two
of whom died.
Thomas fled and never was cap
tured.
There are hardly a dozen living
in Maple Hill who were here in the
earlier and more stirring days. The
motor cars honk has displaced the
wild shout of the cowboy. Pretty
girls and their beaux. and farmers.
their wives. and the once cow
punchers who gulped their whisky
straight. are all that remain.
Housing Shortage Even Here.
1t was the friendship Of two old
women. one a widow and the other

Mrs. Louisa Sans, wife of William
A. Sans, was sick. The house short
age prevailed even in this little town
of go persons. Mr.. Sans could not
find suitable house for rent in which
his sick wife could be cared for.
Grandma" Sarah Clements, widow,
owned five-room home. For weeks
she talked over their troubles with
Mr.. and Mrs. Sans. She and Mr.
