Topeka Will Have to Hustle to
Hit Pace, Says McCIOskey.
Stock Company To Be Discussed
at Meeting Next Week.

With the fever rapidly approach
ing epidemic form, local baseball en-
thusiasts are now planning to hold a
meeting for the purpose of forming a
stock company to back John ]. Nc
Closkey in his efforts to place Topeka
in the Southwestern league. With the
short month of February slipping
away and the big league teams getting
ready to go south for the training sea-
son the local fans feel that the To-
peka situation must be ironed out as
soon as possible and the meeting
probably will be held some time next
week.
The Southwestern league was
formed last year as a class D organ
ization composed of the following
towns: Pittsburg, Parsons. Coffey-
vile and Independence Kan, and
Bartlesviile. Miami Muskogee and Sa-
pulpa, Okla. The league was remark
ably fast, in fact, some Of the towns
had teams that would look good in a
class B organization. Only two
towns, Parsons, Kan, and Miami,
Okla, failed to hit the pace. AS re-
suit the league has transferred the
Parsons franchise to Hutchinson
where the fans quickly accepted the
offer by pledging the necessary finan-
cial support, and the Miami franchise
which is owned by McCloskey, is To-
peka'S if the town wants it.
AOpchet MuSb Hustle.
With the addition of Hutchinson
and Topeka the league becomes a
class c organization, and according to
McCloskey, if there are any fans who
are inclined to think the league isn't
fast enough for Topeka they are due
for surprise when they see some of
the teams in action, in fact he says it
VIII require every ounce of local sup
port for Topeka to put a club on the
nd that will compete with some of
the others, especially independence,
Plttsburg, Muskogee and Sapulpa,
with the Saltpackers coming strong.
Any of these teams would make a
good showing in the Western league,
McCIOSkey says, besides the present
offering is Topeka's only chance to
break into league baseball of any
class 1t is said on good authority
that at least two Western league clubs
are ready to get into the Southwest
ern circuit at the first opportunity.
While it is true that Topeka will
be the largest town in the league we
will have job of holding our own, -
said McCtoskey, today. The league is
exceptionally fast and I promise the
Topeka fans real high grade, snappy
baseball. I will put the best team [
possibly can in the field and if any,
body is worrying about the class of
the league-well, they don't know how
crazy over baseball some of these
| Oklahoma towns are. Those towns
have money and some of them have
put as much as 100000 in modern,
concrete and steel grandstands"
On account of the price asked for
| Western League park, other locations
are still being considered by Nc
| Closkey. The latest idea is to try to
form an agreement with the manage
ment of the Kansas Free Fair aasocia-
| ton to use the fair grounds where
| there are fine grandstand facilities
and McCboskey says he is also get
ting favorab BILE reports on the plan to
| have the team play in North Topeka

WILL MAR HIGH !.
!. AGAIN TORS
Wilhnar Wins Third Game Of Sea.
son From Hancock on Saturday
f.. Score $50 ....: -. !.

Willmar jOurneyed in cars to Han
cock on Saturday to play the. team of
that place. The score does not indi-
cate that the game was a walkaway
for Willmar as they had to play hard
ell the time. The gritty Hancock
players did not give up until the final
whistle.
Hancock received the ball and they
marched way up the field until their
advance was checked by .Willmar.
Willmar made most of her gains by
playing straight football, large gains
being made on off tackle and off guard
plays with few occasional end runs.
Thirteen points were scored in the
second quarter with Maynard Johnson
making the first touchdown while Mel
vile Johnson made the second one.
Westgard kicked one goal in this per-
iod. In the third quarter Linn had
the honor of crossing the goal line
with Westgard making the extra point
at goal. Dan Olson and Donald Davis
secured two more touchdowns in the
last period with Westgard kicking one
goal. This gave Willmar total of
33 points. The fast Montevideo team
defeated the Hancock team with two
of 'Hancock's star players out Of the
game two weeks ago by a 1910 score.
"A large crowd turned out to see the
game and nearly half OF them were
Willmar rooters who had motored to
Hancock to see their favorites win.
Hengstler and Anger referred the
game to the satisfaction of all.
Dan Olson took Melville Johnson's
place, Falkingham took Larson's, Bak-
ken took Wright's and Coss took Ran
dali Peterson's place in the last part
of the game and they all played like
regular seasoned football players.
After the game the Willnar team
was given big chicken dinner at the
hotel by Hancock. Over forty people
were present to enjoy the delicious
dinner after which many toasts were
given. The best of feeling prevails
between the two teams and the boys
always look forward to their trips to
Hancock.

SPUR TRACK TO BLOCK 20
!: TO BE COMPLETED THIS WEEK
Steel Rails Being Laid to the Fu-
ture Site Of Power House and
City Market

1t is expected that the laying Of the
steel rails up to Block Twenty will
be completed before the end of the
week. Block Twenty is located be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets and
between Pacific and Benson avenues
and is the block recently purchased
by the city as a future site for the
new power house and for a parking,
hitching and market place.
The rails have been laid to Seventh
street at the end of the block and
work is being done at the crossing on
Tenth Street where the track will con-
meet with those of the Great North
ern. The spur track runs along the
and enters the block at the northwest
corner. 1t will extend inside of the
sidewalk along the north side of the
track and thus give three hundred feet
of space for spotting cars. The old
Swillens hotel building was sold to
A. J. Dahl and has been moved back
to permit the balance of the track to
be laid. The two buildings at the nor
theast corner are also to be moved
back at once in order to have the track
completed by the contractor. Concrete
slabs will be laid to fill in the space
about the rails in the pavement this
week. Other small concrete jobs in
connection with the pavement will be
done to complete this big job. The
tenth street crossing will be completed
in few days and then the continuous
paved highway thru the city will be
opened to traffic.
