today and Smith will take his regular

Earl Cooley and Yendes will get a
chance in the rest of the double bill.
For ten days, Manager Cooley has
been using Pierce, Smith and Luschen
in regular turns on the mound and
they have been getting away in good
shape. Before leaving last night he
said he expected these three to carry
the brunt of the pitching burden but
would continue to carry young Cooley
as a relief extra hurler, with Yendes
ready to come in from right field and
take a fling most any time. Stipp,
who has not been with the team since
the last road trip, will be released to-
day, Cooley said.
Starting today the teams IN the
Southwestern League will play series
of four games each instead of three,
but only until complete circuit has
been made. Then the teams will re-
turn to a run of three again and COM
plete the first half of the season. =
After playing four games at Sa-
pulpa in three days, the, Solons will
be back at Muskogee where they
started the season for a similar run,
but they will take four days to do it.
The team will be back home one week
from today when Hutchinson will visit
Topeka for the first time this season.
The series with Hutchinson will
open on Monday and run for four days.
Before leaving last night, Manager
Cooley announced that Tuesday would
be ladies day.
BY winning three straight from Sa-
lima, the Solons sold themselves solid
with the Topeka fans. The series was

by spectacular fielding. The Solons
went thru the series and accepted 122
chances without committing a single
error. Tho series was also featured

to watch the plays closely and appears
to be absolutely unprejudiced in MAX

possesses a happy faculty of running
the games smoothly and the crowd is
never in doubt as to what he is doing.
Prexy Barbour seems to have three

utility purposes.

II IS said that threatening letters have

reporters who have interviewed her Yet
Mrs. Fraley laughs heartily when she

One OF Mrs. Gibson's neighbors said
that the young man now known as
William Gibson and said TO be Mrs
Gibsons son, went to the local school
and was known as Willie Eastman.
They say that he may be her son by
a former marriage. but they know so
little about the domestic relations Of the
woman that this was merely conjecture
on their part II was definitely estab-
lished. however, that the boy did go
under the name OF Eastman.
II is probable that Mrs. Fraley knows
considerably more than she is willing to
divulge. She has already been ques-
toned By the authorities, who have sue
cessfully covered up the fact and have
instructed Mrs. Fraley TO deny any suG-
gestion that slie knows anything. In
this respect the statement Of Prosecutor
Mott regarding the tendency In certain
quarters to discredit the story would be
significant. as would some OF thsshere-
