western League baseball team.
Out of the mass. of Suggestions re-
ceived by the two Topeka newspapers
during the~past few days, the term
Topeka Solons." submitted by Miss
Lucille Maze telephone operator for
the Topeka fire department. was
adopted by. the sport writers this af-
tsrnoOn as the name OF the Topeka
club this season f
From the start IL was evident that
. name identified with either the state
house or the Santa Fe must be the
popular choice Most of the sugges-
lions hinged upon these institutions.
altho many persons were in favor of
some Indian name being used. 1t was
hard for the sport writer's to get away
from the name "Kaws'' because it is
both short and practical. But that is
an old name and finally went into the
discard.
'Railroaders'' was considered too
long and Santa Fe" has already been
adopted by a semi-pro club. When it
came to the state house the sport
writer's had everything before them
from Senators to the ''Dandelions"
on the lawn. Legislators was
popular choice but not for the news
paper men, who want a snort. snappy
name. For that reason Statesmen,
Governors" and Politicians would
not do.
When it came to a final choice. the
Capital sport writer held out fer Sen
ators." but The State journal repre-
sentative swung TO ''Solons'' because
it was shorter and included all of the
legislative body, and for the further
reason that clubs in the American
league and the American association
are already known as Senators" In
a deadlock. coin was tossed and The
State Journal man won.
80 Solons they arc. and Miss Maze
will receive her season ticket from
Manager Cooley this afternoon.
