PIRATES BOAST OF BIG
STAFF OF BACKSTOPS

The Pittsburgh Club has more catch
ers on it's list than any other club in
the National League. The first player
signed by George Gibson since he be-
came manager of the Pirates was Bill
Haffner, who caught for independent
teams around Philadelphia and once
was given the once over by the Phila-
+delphia Athletics.
Pittsburgh's catchers now are Walter
Schmidt, Fred Blackwell. Clifford Lee.
Mig Clarke and Bill Haffner. There is
catcher but he is on the sus-
pension list. He is Ben Shaw, who
jumped the team last season because he
was given less than he thought should
be his share of the fourth world series
prize money of 1918.

be relied on to jump behind the bat in
IAN emergency. and he makes the seventh

was decided to let the game go on

counted two more points. Two tosses
from the foul line by Miss Fennelly
counted the points necessary to give
Ingram the victory.
While defeated, War Risk played

very fact that it kept Ingram's accu-

more than four goals from the floor

done by Lucille Rogers and Lessie

IT IS RIGHT UP TO YOU!
If You Wish to Fight tuberculosis
Your Chance Is Here.


Topekans who have not contributed
to the health bond sale of the Topeka
tuberculosis association for the estab-
lishment of a Bertha Hampstead Me-
mortal clinic here in 1921 may not be
concerned over the probability that
strong arm committee" will call.
The fight against tuberculosis in
Topeka is not mandatory" Mrs. Kurtz
Kellam, sales manager of the asso-
citation, said today. This sale is for
the purpose of insuring Topeka against
the spread of tuberculosis. II is a
matter in which every citizen is in
terested. 1t is not up to the Topeka
tuberculosis association to force
health and happiness onto Topekans.
As matter of fact, it should not be
necessary to conduct an active sale
but we realize that business men are
too busy to take a voluntary interest
and we have called on many of them.
Their contributions and their words
of appreciation have given us inspira-
ton and encouragemnt."
The total health bond sales to date
amount to little more than $500. AT
least 81, 200 must be raised before the
Christmas seal sale begins. The seals
will be sent out by mail and will -
placed on sale at various downto -
points.
The whole plea in a nutshell is this:
There are several hundred cases of
tuberculosis in Topeka. Last year
there were fifty deaths from tubercu-
losis here. 1t is durable disease
that spreads. The money collected by
the local association will be spent right
here in Shawnee county. 1t will be
spent-every cent of it-for just one
activity-the fight against tubercu-
losis.
Mrs. Kurtz Kellan., sales manager.
or Mr. 1. z. Henry. treasurer, Bank of
@Topeka will receive subscriptions.

The will of the late Thomas ].
Check, for whose death his son and
daughter-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Victor
Check, were arrested at Phoenix, Ariz.,
was admitted to record by Judge
Ralph Cav in the Shawnee county
probate court today.
The will was admitted to probate in
the surrogate court of Orange county.
New Jersey, of which Check was
resident. But because of certain prop
erty owned by him in Shawnee county,
it was necessary that a transcript be
sent to Topeka and admitted to record
here. F. w. Freeman was chosen as
administrator.
Said To Be Worth Half Million.
Altho Check was reputed to be
worth a half million dollars, there is
no mention in the will or any of the
proceedings of the value of his estate,
which was left to the Savings Invest
ment & Trust company. of East
Orange, n. j., to be held in trust for
his heirs. The money derived from
the sale of the property is to be dl-
vided in equal shares between his chill
dren and grandchildren.
Checks children and grandchildren,
mentioned in the will, are: Thomas J.
Check, Topeka. son; Ethel c. Porter,
Little silver, N. D., OduSnIeTs bTuCe
w Campbell, Jr.. East Orange. n. j.,
grandson; Thomas ]. Check. East

Webb Represents Executors.
Robert Webb. Topeka attorney who
represents the executors here. said to-
day he had no definite idea as to the
value of Checks estate or where his
Shawnee county property is located
He said he thought the estimate of
quarter million dollars would come
nearer to the actual value.
Following the death of Check at
Phoenix on November 13, Mr.. and Mrs
Victor Check were arrested. 1t was
alleged that they had taken their
fathers life to get their share of the
estate. Victor Check frequently
stopped in Topeka at the home of Eli
Ulamperl, SIT Taylor street The elder
Check visited here at various times
also.
