Until the middle of the last period the final McGinnity was in TopeKa a wee ago yesterday and looked over the books of the local baseball association and the ball park and city.

Hs was well pleased with the conditions hs found, despite the poor financial showing made by the books of the association, and Informed the officials of the Kaws- that he thought he would buy the controlling Interest in the club and manage It. But at the Milwaukee meeting several nearsighted Western league managers Informed McGinnity that Topeka was hopeless as a ball town, adding a few more hard blows from their hammers. As a result McGinnity changed his mind and decided to buy the Tacoma club la the Northwest league. Had "Iron Man" Joe McGinnity come to Topeka It would have been the best thing for the town and tire Western league that could have happened. Although a veteran.

McGinnity is far from being a hasbeen. Last season he managed the Newark club In the International league, but drew his release when Ebbetta. the Brooklyn magnate, purchased the Newark club and belongs to the husky eleven from Madison', Wis.

During the second and third quarters the ball see-sawed across the center of the field. Neither goal In serious danger. Pollom, for the Aggies, tried two drop kicks, but failed in both attempts.

In this quarter, a Colorado man tackled the ball after it had been whistled down and ran 50 yards for a touchdown, but was called back. In the last quarter the Aggies commenced to show their full strength. They rammed like bucks and tackle swin- a forward pass from Gillette, on both in one point of the red and blues total. This, however, was as near as the redmen could get. Thorpe's running with the ball was the best seen here for many a day.
