That he built a great many more ponds than were necessary at the hatchery. That. tailed to enforce the fish and game laws. That lie expended funds in visiting outside of the state not in connection with the business of the fisii and game "Warden.

That he neglected his duty as fish and game warden. Professor Dyche denied flatly that he allowed any fish to die in the ponds for lack of water, that he ltad wasted any money in (rips and that there had tieon no waste of funds in the building of additional ponds. Even witli the practical loss of the corn crop and heavy inroads into the hay and forage crops, which compelled some fanners to buy feed because their pastuies were brown and dry, the stale has been able to show an increase of since June and in a year in bank deposits. flovernor Hodges and the executive council are planning to save the siate about f.i.noo a year by not paying freight rates on slate in the coal from the penitential)' mines. All the state institutions get coal fioni the prison.

An examination of the coal reeened at the state heating plant shows it. to contain I mm two to three tons of slate for each car, and on a basis of two tons of slate per car the state pays over freight on the slate and then has to pay to have it hauled away from each institution. The executive council will go to Lansing and try to arrango with the prison hoard to have all the slate removed from the. coal before it is loaded on the cars. Hereafter the department of Industrial llesearch at the University of Kansas will he devoted to problems existing within the slate, especially those relaling to municipalities, or communities.

It. is the result of an optimistic and over ad erfised condition that in-I eluded Kansas as a whole. The west-i ern Kansas counties are np against i it for seed wheat and they do need help for next year's crop." That statement was made by a man who comes from lie-re and who ought to know, .1.

Waggs Wbo'i the last? STOVALL Manager Fred Clarke of Pirates Says Manager of Team Must Have Players to Make Showing. "There is a tough thing," commented Fred Clarke, referring to tho dismissal of George Stovall as manager of the St, Louis Browns. "This man Stovall took charge of tho Clove-land club on short notice in 1911, and what did htt do? He performed wonders and had things going in great shape. In St. Louis he could not succeed.

In Cleveland he had the material. In St. Louis he didn't. It all goes to prove that a manager must havo men of ability and temperament to bring out his own talents. No greater manager than Frank Chance ever lived.

A lighter, student of the game and a great player himself, be always had a power over men. But, aside fiom bringing a little Improvement to the New York Americans, he has not been able to emphasize his managerial powers simply because hu has not got the kind of men under him that are best suited to his desires. There are players who can bo driven, nnd others who can't. Stovall and Chance did well with good material, but a dozen managers can not make a winner or a near-winner out of inferior material." TALKS HIMSELF OUT OF A JOB Dee Walsh, ex-Brown Shortstopper, Gat In Bad by Daring Pitchers to Put Them Over. 1'uiplre "Silk" O'Loughliu says Deo Walsh talked htinself out of a job with the American league.

According to O'Loughliu, Walsh's specialty was to strut up to the plato and daro the pitcher to put It over. "Can you imagine a 'snip of a kid like Walsh, who isn't much bigger than a peanut, daring a big fellow like Walter Johnson to stick it over tho pan?" said O'Loughliu. "Tho average American leaguo pitcher would make two of Dee Walsh. Tho kid got himself In bad trying to bluff 'em. Jiu thought It tho proper caper, but It worked the other way.

Tho pitchers tabbed him as a fresh kid, and tipped each other off. Every now and then some big twirlcr would shoot the pill at. Den's bean and scare him stiff. They had him ducking nnd dodging wild pitches until he couldn't hit the pipe. But Dee iH a game 'tin and wilt come hack.

Ho needs experience." Record to Van Haltren. Carroll Brown, the young hurler of Connlo staff who passed fifteen batsmen in a single game, does not hold the record in this respect. George Van Haltren, while pitching for Chicago against Boston In 1x87, walked sixteen batters and was so wild that the players were afraid to stop near enough to tho plato to take a whack at the ball. Johnson Not Dissatisfied. Walter Johnson denies that he would refuse to play ball if the Senators should fall to offer him for next year's work.

"1 never have told aoyo'jie what I wanted for next year's work." be says, "for I don't know mystdf. I expect to sign tho first contract that Manager Urliuth offers me." Ball Players Discredit Rumors of Dissatisfaction and Express Themselves as Contented. Hall players scoff at reports emanating from New York to the effect that they are planning a big revolt against the base ball powers during tho coining Asked about the matter, Jack Miller, who is the Pittsburgh club's representative in the Hall Players' fraternity, said: "The Players' fraternity was not formed to Ftir up strife. Hut it is a sound and solid organization determined to safeguard the interests of the players. The report that the players are planning to revolt, and that a wholesale demand for salary increases ill be backed by the fraternity is rot.

To begin with, such a thing would bo the most impracticable thing in the world. The question of salaries absolutely will not figure in any movement that the fraternity will undertake now or in the future. Any sane person knows that players' salaries were graded and that it would bo an impossible thing to fix any kind of a scale governing them. You can't fix any standard by which to fix base ball salaries. Our organization was not formed to start revolts.

It is a fraternity, and it has some line objects in view and all are in the Interest of the players. It Is a fraternity that is being competently conducted by competent and diplomatic heads, and they are not the kind of men who would take up such an Impossible scheme such as we read about these days. Tho fraternity's object are sensible ones, and will be enforced, but this stuff about a wholesale holdout scheme on account of salaries is bunk." Southern League Managers. Rumors concerning the future of Southern league managers still fly thick and fast. Johnny Oohbs it Is now said will succeed Klferfeld at Chattanooga and Mike Finn has been mentioned as the man who may lead the St.

Louis Browns next year. He most likely will go to Memphis. Kl-ferfield's signing with New Orleans was a great surprise, as it was previously reported he had already been given a contract to remain in Chattanooga. Tho differences seem to have come up in the final week of the season and Elberfeld quit Chattanooga in a huff. If Finn does not stay In Mobile, Charley Starr may succeed him, though there is talk of securing George Stovall from the St.

Louis llrowns. Cobb After New Record. Ty Cobb is a possible candidate for a new record In baseball, batting for or better in three consecutive years. Ho hit for .420 in 1111 1 and .410 in 101'J. Ross Barnes batter for better than .400 in three years, but they were tiot in succession, ile attained marks of ,404 and .451) in 1872 and 1873, respectively.

Tip O'Neill set the high mark for batting at A'i'l in 1887. Many First-Sackers. The Tigers are trying to break the Browns' record of using first backers. Since 11)11 St. Louis has used twenty men at the initial corner.

Hugh Jennings has tried out nine, but ho has about that many more in Una to try out. Pittsburgh has sent Catcher Dob Coleman to Columbus. 4 Boh Harmon has decided to beconnt a lly chaser when his pitching days are over. Villianl Clym.r has signed a contract to lead the Buffalo team ngain next year. Newark's new pitcher, Ollie Britton, conies from the Lynn team of tho New England leaguo.

Nap Lajoie has struck out eight times this season, Hay Keating doing the trick three times. In Cincinnati it is believed that Second Baseman Dick Kgan will next season be found with Chance's New Yorks. The ten leading sluggers of the National league have poled out over DO homers. Cravath, with 18, leads them all. II is the opinion of many American league managers that John Henry of the Senators is tho best, catcher in the hiigue.

New Orleans has let First Baseman Kraft go to Nashville for tho waiver price and he will he with the volun-te-rs next year. Pitcher Jim Vaughn, secured by the Chicago Cubs from Kansas City, is proving even a bigger comeback than George McQuillan. When Brooklyn beat. Pitcher Kobin-Bon of Pittsburg on September It was tho first game the Ixidgers had won from him In three years. Manager Miller Hugglns declares there is no truth in the yarn that Ed Koneichy, the big iirst baseman of the Cardinals, is to go to the Pirates.

Brantford in the Canadian league wauls Kddle Holly to manage its team next year, and will endeaor to get Toronto to secure a reasonable offer. Manager h-tallings of Boston seems undecided at. to what disposition to make pitcher I'ick Rudolph. He ask' for waivers once, only to withdraw iiis request. A'lanta fans wort; so tickled over New Orleans beating Mobile in the final game and thus giving tiie Crackers the Southern league pannant that they started a subscription to buy President-Manager Frank of New Orleans a loving cup..
