young Hill City girl who is now max
ing her home in Tennessee. will have

BASEBALL MEETING TONIGHT
Plans VIII Be Made TO Get the To-
peka Club Out of the Hole.


A pep meeting will be held at the
Chamber of Commerce tonight at s
O'Clock for the purpose of discussing
plans of giving the ball club a real
booster day during the series which
starts tomorrow with Bartlesville. Ac-
cording to present indications the day
will be held Thursday but that is
matter which will not be finally de-
termined until tonight.
The booster day is proposed as a
means of pulling the baseball club out
of the hole and permitting it to re-
main in Topeka. Dick Cooley has
made a noble effort to give Topeka a
gether a good bunch of ball players,
and despite the handicap of a late
start, the club is causing the leaders
have taken two out of three from the
series.
But the team is in the hole finan-
cially and Manager Cooley has an
nounced that unless he Is able to meet
his payroll next Thursday or before
the team is due to leave on another
road trip Friday night he will be
forced to turn the club over to the
league to be placed wherever Presi-
dent Barbour sees fit. That being the
case some action is necessary on the
part of Topeka fans and it has been
tentatively agreed by the few who are
showing a Willingness to put their
shoulders to the wheel that a booster
day is the best bet. If some one has
a better plan they should attend the
meeting tonight and spring II.

S. o. S.

Let no Topeka fan or business man
kid himself with the idea that a real
booster day or some other means of
raising a few thousand dollars isn't
necessary to keep Topeka in the
Southwestern Baseball league.
The club is in debt between $1,000
and $1,000, possibly a little more, as
the expense OF rebuilding the bleach
ers early in the spring has not all been
paid. The attendance Saturday and
Sunday was fair but with the visiting
club drawing 500 a day there isn't
enough money in the Golfers yet to
borrowed last week to meet the June
1 payroll.
And there is another pay day next
Thursday and the club leaves the fol-
lowing night on another trip which
also calls for a few hundred dollars.
If this payroll isn't met. Manager
Cooley says he is thru and some OF the
players have also intimated what they
will do if their money isn't forth
coming.
/ Is Topeka going to let the team
blow up?
The first definite step towards a
result will be taken tonight when a
meeting will be held at the Chamber
of Commerce to talk it over. But call
ing the meeting and proposing a boos-
ter day is as far as the faithful can go.
What is needed is a full turn out to-
night and enough volunteers to go out
the next two DAYS and nut Il oYer

so-called parliament at Canton has re-

nouncing General Ii Yuan Hung, as
a traitor to the constitution and pro-
testing against his reinstatement as
president.
PekinE, June 12.-Will the dramatic
stroke of Ii Yuan Hung in mandating
Wu Ting Fang to assume the premier

temperance in Peking to assume the
office of president from which he was
forced to resign in 1917 by the military
coup of Chang Hsun have the desired
effect of re-unifying China?
This was the pressing question to-
day all over this land of surprises.
The position of WI Ting Fang,
China's aged and revered diplomat is
unknown. vi Yuang Hung has heard
from WI Ting Fang, who is minister
of foreign affairs of the southern
China republic and the strong man of
DR.. Sun Yat Sen government.

solved in 1917, and at the urgent ap-
peal of Wu Pei Flu, dominant Chinese

He was at first reluctant to come

against almost frantic pleas of leaders
for a unified China.
1t is believed that President LIS
first effort after he has put his gov
ernment into working order will be
the elimination of the system of mill
tary provincial governors. He origin
ally made it a condition precedent to
his acceptance of the presidency that
these officials should withdraw from

ding with civil governmental matters.
