 Feet Praises Gooch
 Bill Peet, sporting editor of the Pittsburg Dispatch hurled a nice bouquet at Johnny Gooch, the former Baron catcher the other day Bill, in commenting on the attributes of John Beverly had the following to say:
 If the enthusiastic approval of managers, umpires and fans alike counts as to the ability of a ball player then Johnny Gooch, the peppery catcher whom the Pirates purchased from Birmingham last season and who performed so well back of the bat in a number of Bucco games, he is in for long and brilliant career in the major leagues. While Gooch caught only few games at Forbes field they were enough for the real jury of baseball (the fans) 10 stamp the southern boy as a find and to assure every body that he is going to make them forget many great catcher who has graced the Pirate roster in years past. Gooch is one of the smartest and most active catch CTS to break into the big show in years. He is perpetual motion it. self, and when not actually ne- cessary to remain back of the plate, he is either out near the pitchers mound to receive throw from the cutfield, or even backing up the throw to first base.
 John B. Gooch was born at Smyrna. Tenn, 23 years ago, and still calls his birthplace his home. He is 5 feet 10 and one half inches high and tips the beam at ITO pounds He began playing ball with Nashville In 1916, which club, because of his youth, sent him to Talladega, Ala, in the Geor gia Alabama league.

VOTING ON new CHARTER
New City Code Is Before Kansas City
Voters Today.

Kansas City, Nov. 21.-Desiring spe-
cial attention for the new charter
which they have framed the charter
commission submitted it to a vote here
today, with two alternative water
works proposals. 1t was feared that
it might receive only confused con-
sideration had it been submitted at
the general election, November z.
Proponents of the new document
claim it would make a great improve
ment over the code now in force. The
major changes include provision for a
one-house council, in place of the two
house body now existing; a consid-
cradle increase in the power bestowed
upon the mayor; the organization of
the city's business under six depart
ment heads, aside from the water
works, which is considered in the
alternative proposals the ex-
tension of the mayors term of office
from two, as at present, to four years,
and the revamping of the department
of finance, including the establishment
of a budget system.

NEED GRANDSTAND
Topeka Financial Interests
Agree With Fair Officers.
Financing of Structure To Be
Arranged Soon as Possible.

Topeka bankers and business men
last night were confronted with the
absolute necessity of financing a mod
ern steel and reinforced concrete
grandstand for the 1928 Free Fair.
Altho there has been a demand for
such structure for the last five or
six years. not until the facts and fig
ures were presented last night by Sec
retary PIN Eastman and President
Albert NJ. Patten did the financial and
business backing of the city realize
completely that the demand has
reached a point of vital necessity. The
statement by President Patten that
the Free Fair would have to give up
its races, its night program and its
track features, thereby removing the
fairs only large revenue producer, IN
less the new stand was built. came as
q challenge of Immediate action to the
Topekans who attended the dinner
eonference at Peletier's Tea room.
President Patten and Secretary
Eastman did not mince words They
backed up their words with figures.
Then they laid their cards on the table
and put the proposition up to the city's
financial institutions.

who was in charge of the meeting of
the clearing house delegates, appoint

paper the banks would take in con-
nection with the loan for the grand
stand. The stand would cost 100000
and would seat 1900 persons Five
thousand of these seats would be re-
served.
From estimates made by Secretary
Eastman the grandstand could be
paid out in from six to eight years.
Col John 5. Dean figured that the
secretary was. as usual, too conserva-
tive in his estimates and he believed
with the increased capacity. the
grandstand profits would wipe out the
loan in four years 1t was agreed
that with a grandst2nd safely and

capacity of 1900 persons, the receipts
would be doubled The present wood
