OW THE LEADING FOOTBALL ELEVENS SIZE UP I I By TOMMY CLARK. FOOTBALL, has now taken on a more serious aspect Harder practice and more Important games mark that portion of the campaign when every coach is Becking to harmonize his material into a machine. a The experimental stage is er the elevens are prepared for the nara contests that will follow one anter In close succession until the cnam pionship battles climax this season With the preliminary work over, xne time has come for a development 01 that team play so necessary to "ue8S; and this can be accomplished only oy finding out the weak points. Harvard Looks Strong. Head Coach Haughton and his as sistants are thoroughly satisfied witn the material Harvard has at hand and are reasonably decided upon the men whom they will use in the big game with Tale at Cambridge, Nov. 20. While no statistics have as yet been given out, it is certain that the Har vard varsity eleven of 1909 is going to be above the average in weight. Par ticularly will this be true of the back field, in which Corbett. P. D. Smith and Minot may be regarded as the regular members, with O'Flaherty at quarter back position. Corbett and Smith have both earned their initials in football, and Minot surely would have been a varsity man a year ago had not schol arship deficiencies kept him from the gridiron. So it will be a back field that possesses experience as well as weight. Up to date the line men have been drilled, particularly in defensive play ing. Captain Fish at tackle has not been playing ar brilliantly as in the past, but no fear is felt regarding his ability to hold his own r gainst any op ponent when the time comes. Harvard's greatest need today is for a real good kicker. The eleven is al ready strong, but a punter like Burr and Kennard, who have done the kick ing for two years past, would be a welcome addition. The coaches have evidently decided tha Corbett must do the kicking this fall, and while he does It nicely and shows marked ability in placing the ball, he will never be in the same class with his predecessors. Opposing teams need not have any fear that Harvard will drop any goals from the field when the eleven is any great distance from the goal posts. The fact that Withington at center has not yet fully acquired confidence in passing the ball back for kicks has undoubtedly been a factor In making Harvard's kicking seem som what weak. Whatever Harvard may be lacking in kicking, the eleven will make up in open plays and forward passes. Har vard knows a whole lot more of the new football, so called, than the team has shown thus far, and this new football includes several forward iss formations. Improvement Needed at Yale. In the last few games played Tale has demonstrated that the team is J5j.il in ragged form and that the players have not been putting up as good a game as might reasonably be The Man Who Owns Broadwau." bu Cohan Edward Martindel Changes to the "Legitimate" Hedwig Reicher an Actress at Twelve Years (From Our New York Dramatic Corre spondent.! TWO players popular with New Tork audiences, though in a different line of work, have returned to the metropolitan boards In new guise Raymond Hitch cock in a new Cohan play. "The Man Who Owns Broadway," and Harry Lauder, the Scotch singer and dancer, with several new dialect songs. "The Man Who Owns Broadway" is typically New Yorkesque as well as characteristically Cohanese, but. In spite of tiat the drama is not one that wir long in the city on which Its action is based. Raymond Hitchcock impersonates the expected from material such as Tale has on hand. Eli has a lot of first class material; but. judging from pres ent indications, the team is going to be one that will develop very slowly. The center of the rush line must of necessity remain unsettled until An drus, the big guard, gets into proper shape and demonstrates what he is likely to do this fall. Cooney has been filling Andrus' position. The latter slows up the whole rush line. At first there was talk of shifting Cooney to center, but the development of Hyde and Francis has been .rood enough to sn('' u WEST, OF HARVARD, WHO HAS BEEM PLAYING A STRONG GAME AT LEFT GUARD FOR CRIMSON. make this change Inadvisable, for the present at least. Neither Hyde nor Francis is a physical giant such as Yale in years gone by always sought for this position. Both are more of tha type of Biddle of last year's team, who was a man of good physical strength and a lot of headwork. There has been some talk of making a tackle out of Andrus and keeping Cooney at guard. This would mean the displacement of Lilley, who at present is playing right tackle. Lll ley"s work has been overshadowed this fall by the superior and brilliant work of Hobbs, who up to date has played the best football of any man on the team. There is, howe -er, no reason why Lilley should not develop enough to hold his position, for he has enough' man who has annexed for his own use the main street of the theatrical dis trict, and he appeals strongly as being the owner of the rest of the Tender loin a. well. He Is supposed to be an actor with whose charms a matinee girl has been smitten and whose first pink tinted dream of love has been shattered by an obdurate father. What these charms are is not quite made evi dent, but Sylvia Bridewell, the girl In the case, who is impersonated by Miss Flora Zabelle, apparently knows. At least she makes enough fuss about it. A professional card sharper, whose business field Includes all the Atlantic liners, and hi. female companion for a time keep the lovelorn actor under sus weight and with proper coaching he should make a valuable man. The work of Hobbs this season has been far ahead of his record In 1908. This fall he has displayed good speed from the very opening of the season. If he keeps up his present gait he should be one of the very best tackles in the country by the end of November. On the ends of the rush line the posi tions are still undecided. There is good material for these places In Kil patrick and Vaughan and in Logan. Haines and Van Sinderen. Naedele must still be counted as a possible i. i i man. In the practice to date Logan and Kilpatrick have played these posi tions most regularly. But Vaughan and Van Sinderen have been crowding these two hard, and Naedele has not yet had an opportunity to do himself justice. There is in this squad great material for these two end places. Haines was playing a fast game until he was hurt and was taken behind the line in order to help out in the punting game. The quarterback material is not coming along as fast as It should. Ford Johnson, who showed good abil ity last fall, has not yet got back into form. He is slow In running the team, and this same criticism applies to both Howe and Bingham, the other two most promising quarterbacks. picion, but eventually he clears him self. This Is substantially the plot, al though It wanders through three acts to the accompaniment of as great a hullabaloo as half a hundred noisy chorus people can make. There are sixteen songs, together with several combinations of them that pass as finals to the various acts. They cleave closely to one or two tempos. Tou can't possibly miss the tempo because the orchestration centers chiefly in the i drums. To be strictly fair to the new piece I and to its author, who combines many talents, chief of which" is dancing, it I should be said that "The Man Who Corey Is still a possibility because of his level headedness and his all round ability as an athlete. Just at present Howe seems to have the most admir ers, because he is faster and gets more snap Into the play. The back field situation is an Inter esting one. with Messenger, Field, Daly, Murphy, Philbin. Kistler, Haines. Deming and Holt fighting it out for the '.wo positions which will be left now that Captain Coy is back in harness. Princeton Has the Material. Looking over the record made by the Princeton eleven to date, one finds it difficult to enthuse, but the fact re mains that the Tigers have the ma terial and the coaches to turn out a strong eleven. Individually the team is very powerful and has fully demon strated it, but the men do not play to gether as it seems they ought to after almost a month's practica. This is partly caused by the quarter back problem. Dawson shows good judgment in running the team and has lots of life, but many times he missed punts, and when he did get them was not able to run them back effectively. The only other available man seems to be Chrystle, and he is weak in just the points in which Dawson is strong, and vice versa. The choice of ends has settled down to four men Welch, Gill, Meigs and King with the first two having the call at present. AH these men are good, but that is all that can be said for them. The most notable thing about the rest of the line is the fight that Bam man and MacFadyen are having for the center position. It is a contest of speed against weight, and an enforced lay-oft of MacFadyen has enabled the lighter man to get into all the games so far, where he has shown up ex tremely well. One guard position seems assured to Waller, and Woehr Is now occupying the other regularly, but Buckingham is a strong factor and does not need to play much better to supplant the other man. Captain Sieg Ung and McCrohan, at the tackles, have been opening big holes and play ing as well as anybody on the squad, but the latter still has a lot to learn. When Read, Hart and McCormtck have been In the back field together they have formed a combination that has not yet been stopped, though most of their gains have been through the holes made by the strong tackles. Both Read and Sparks, who substitutes for him, are backs who are reminders of the great Tibbott of last year, for they are fast and fight till fhey get every inch possible. However, neither one is in condition yet to stand a long, hard game. Princeton's play so far can be char acterized as distinctly ragged, and the faults are so apparent and mistakes so frequent that it looks as if it were go ing to take a long time to eradicate them. Penn Eleven Fast. If the kind of football which the Uni versity of Pennsylvania eleven has been playing the past few weeks Is a safe criterion the Red and Blue team this season will be almost quite as good as that of last year. In the last Owns Broadway won a success of Its kind before the first night audience, which was almost as noisy at times as the musical comedy itself. Its future prosperity will depend upon the per centage of New Torks population which holds the same views of what constitute entertainment. Some of the performers who were most applauded, beside Mr. Hitchcock and Miss Zabelle. were Stanley Forde. Z -ott Welsh, George Lydecker, Miss Lara Lieb and Mark Sullivan. Four nameless ones danced cleverly, and there was one more chorus that was fairly effective. three games the Quaker back field played well together and the different men showed up strongly In every de partment. Since the game with Dickinson the coaches have been working to develop a team of substitutes In which the sec ond .team will be the equal of the first. This has been partially accomplished, with the result that the competition for places is so keen that hardly one man on the squad feels certain of his position. In developing such a squad as this the coaches have given indica- V itr ''vi 1 :J mHnmm I if y JOCKEY JOE NOTTER, WHO IS TO RETURN SHORTLY AFTER A SUCCESSFUL SEASON IN GERMANY. tion of their determination to have a team that plays at top speed every minute of the game. As for backs, they are having a strenuous time of it. At this writing there are only two men who seem to have their positions sure. These are Captain Miller at quarterback and Hutchinson at fullback, but both of these men are being hard pressed by substitutes. The work of Hutchinson against Dickinson was of the sensa tional order. Hutchinson, in fact, !ooks to be a second Hollenback. His work In running back kicks ani rounding the ends was almost on a par with the best Hol'enback ever did. Hutchinson is a short, stocky player, with tremen dous speed and very hard to stop. He also picks his openings unusually well. Great interest has been aroused in dramatic circles by the change from musical comedy and light opera to straight drama by Edward Martindel, who has toured the country in many i musical productions. Mr.?lartindel is now appearing in a leading role in "The Commanding Officer," by Theodore Burt Sayre, which Charles Frohman recently pro duced and started on a road tour prior to bringing the company to New Tork. "The Commanding Officer" Is a mili tary drama and of a type that affords I Mr. Martindel splendid opportunities to display his acknowledged talents to Hls only weakness Is in his panting. The coaches are looking for one half back of the end running type and the other a line smasher. Sommer. who has been a substitute for two years, looks like a certainty for the line plunging game after the exhibition which he gave against Dickinson. He weighs 175 pounds and hits the line with great force, while he is very hard to knock off his feet. Marks, the center, who has been working In the back field, seems to have the better of the race for the other halfback. Young, Irwin and Ramsdell are all trying for back field positions, so that the fight continues to be an open one. Ramsdell. as he is now playing, looks to be slated for substitute fullback. The coaches are now congratulating themselves over the excellent work of A. Thayer at quarterback. He is a basball and tennis player. He Is al ready making Miller hustle to hold his position. As he is a star punter and and drop kicker, it has been suggested that Miller be moved to right end and Thayer be played at quarter. Michigan's Prospects. Michigan's prospects for a winning team has steadily brightened with the last few weeks. The good work of Captain Allerdice, Wasmund, Ben brook, Watklns, Ranney, Loell, Riley and Casey, eight "M" men trying for the team, is causing Coach "Hurry Up" Tost considerable satisfaction. His chief delight, however, is in the work of the new men, so le of whom are ex pected to give the older players a hard battle for positions. Tost is doing this season what he has long wanted to do playing fast, shifty men in the line. There are likely to be few giants on the Michigan team this year, although Benbrook, Riley and Conklin weigh 200 pouiids each or more. To accomplish his purpose Tost is using former back field men at tac kle and even guard, and, while the team this year will probably average pounds lighter than recent elevens. It will make up In speed what It loses In weight. The surprise of the team up to date has been the work of the new candi dates, Benbrook and Bertrand. Tost has been working Benbrook, formerly a guard on the team, at center since the first (Jay of practice, and. to the surprise of every one, the big Chi cagoan has shown well at the new po sition. If he continues the pace there will be a merry fight for the pivotal position between Benbrook and Loell, who played center on the 1906 eleven, when the faculty kept Schultz from playing. Wasmund at quarterback Is handling those who are familiar with his work In musical drama. Mr. Martindel's new venture is looked on as a test, which he will successfully meet, as he has frequently in his various roles evi denced that he is as much of an actor as he is a 3inger. Scored In "The Alaskan." Mr. Martindel won probably his greatest success in his prolonged tour in "The Alaskan," a story of the gold diggings, by Joseph Blethen. promi nency associated with a well known Seattle newspaper. In that production he played the role of Totem Pole Pete, and his rendition of the well known totem pole song was chiefly responsible for the vogue the play attained. He was also prominent in the following dramas, which had New Tork produc tions: "Mexicana," "The Gay Musi clan" and "The S ho gun." He 'was with Harry Bulger in "The Man From Now" and with Lulu Glassr in "Dolly Var den." On Stage Only Seven Years. He has been on the stage only seven years and mad" his first dramatic ap pearance in "Dolly Varden." although prior to his adoption of a stage career he sang in concert in and about New Tork city. The New Tork, Chicago and Boston critics who have praised Mr. Martin del's performances in light opera ex press themselves confidently in their predictions that he will reach still greater heights in straight drama. Hedwig Reicher. To have made her professional debut on the stage with the emperor of Ger many in the audience at the age of twelve, to have played Nora In "A the signal practice more accurately than ever. Captain Allerdlce's kicking has been the feature of the Wolver enes' earl,- games. Outlook In tha West. The fight for the football champion ship of the middle west is closer than ever tids season. The Minnesota, Chi cago and Wisconsin elevens appear to oe evenly matcned. The showing of Minnesota in its en-maa fhna fa season stamps Coach Williams' team a strong aggregation. A team that can run up a score jf 2t to 0 against Lawrence in twenty and fifteen minute halves with only five days' preparation must be composed of stellar players in good condition. The clever running and dodging of Captain McGovern have been the feature of many of tha Go phers games this season. The Chicago eleven, while not as powerful as they were last season, la -out to capture the western conference championship, but not without a strug gle. Coach Stagg Is one of the closest ob servers of scrimmage work In the west. and he discerns in an Instant the mis takes of the various players and recti- ties them on the spot. He Is a stickler for team play. Right here It may be stated that in every formation which la used by Chicago there .6 a particular function for every player on the team to perform, and Stagg generally seea that this Is done. The work of Captain Page, who is trying to fill, Walter Stef fens' place at quarterback, is being watched with interest. The great little player was taken from his favorite po sition at right end and placed at quar ter. Coach Stagg dlslik- -l to make this move, but there was no other candidate who showed an aptitude for the place, and Page was forced to play the posi tion, un the defense he Is belne imI smashing end and defensive full back.

Now Tork, Oct. .80. Today is the banner day of the year in American automobile circles. It is the day upon 'which the greatest American drivers, piloting: the speediest of cars, drive and strive for victory in the American automobile classic, the Vanderbllt cup race. The fact that the Automobile Club' of America has abandoned the grand prize held at Savannah last Thanksgiving, gives the Vanderbllt full sweep in the fall auto racing cir cles. Can are divided into four classes for the big race, going after different trophies simultaneously. Two classes for tha higher priced and powered car go over the route for the Vander bllt cue. while the smaller cars go Shorter distances for the Wheatley Hills and Maasapequa cups. While the spirit of International rivalry characteristic of the earlier contests is missing this year a number jof foreign cars are participating. They no longer race as champions of the country of their origin, but as cars owned by individual Americans and entered for the love of the sport itself. The passing of the event from an in ternational to a national competition ,wlll probably lessen interest in some quarters, but the enthusiasm of the general public is indicated by the de mand for seats, which is greater than last year. Course la 12.84 Miles. The race is being held over the (Nassau county course, which is 12.64 miles long. The policing arrangements this year re a great improvement over previous years. Sheriff Foster of Nassau county haa organized a big force of men and at short intervals the sheriff and A, R. Pardlngton have estab lished regular police and flag stations e.t which men will be on duty. These stations are marked by a yel low placard and numbered consecu tively. Acting in conjunction with the sheriff, the Pinkerton agency has about 400 picked uniformed men on duty. This force is drawn from all parts of the country and comprises men who have been on strike and riot duty in various cities. Following the precedent set in pre vious Vanderbilt cup races, a com plete telephone system has been In stalled around the course. At each point at which communication is likely to be necessary a station is es tablished and connected with the of ficial stand by its own independent line, and these telephones aru in charge of trained operators.

CHAS. P. TAFT AS PEACEMAKER. Establishes Harmony Between Murphy and Herrmann. Cincinnati, Oct. 30. All the differ ences and managerial abrasions re sulting from the sharp correspondence betwen President Charles W. Murphy of the Chicago National league base ball club and Chairman August Herr mann of the national baseball commis sion, have been smoothed over and healed by the diplomacy of Charles P. Taft, who owns a 25 per cent interest in the Chicago club. When the dispute between Murphy and Herrmann over the purchase of Pfeffer of the Toronto club, and Cole of the Bay City club, by Murphy, re cently became acute, Mr. Taft ar ranged a conference betwen Murphy and Herrmann. In Mr. Taft's office Murphy and Herrmann shook hands and renewed old friendships. As a result of the meeting, however, the $500 fine im posed by the national commission arainst the Chicago club over the Pfeffer matter remains intact and also Murphy must pay $1,500 for Cole as a direct purchase instead of $300 on a draft.

MAN AND BABY CAUGHT BY CARS, Father May Lose a Leg and Child Will Die irom Injuries. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 30. One of the most horrible accidents that has occurred in Lawrence in many months took place when Elijah Gunther with his two-year-old daughter in his arms, was caught beneath the wheels of a Union Pacific freight train and crushed to the ground.

Gunther's left leg is split from the kne to the ankle and all the flesh torn off. It is not thought that the baby can possibly recover, and it is feared that Gunther's leg will have to be ampu tated. ANXIOUS ABOUT CASH Negro Wanted to Know What Wa& Done With "the Coin." The Side-Bet Will Be $10,000 Per Man: New York, Oct. SO. The details of the Jeffries-Johnson meeting and agree ment to fight were interesting. The points agreed upon, are as follows: They are to fight 45 or more rounds. to a finish, not later than July 5. 1910, before the club offering the best finan cial Inducement. The winner is to take a side bet of $10,000 and 75 per cent of the' purse, the loser to take 25 per cent. The preliminary discussion was scheduled for 3 o'clock in the banquet hall of the hotel at New York. Jeffries and his manager were punctual to the minuto, but Johnson elbowed his way diffidently through the crowd ten min utes late. At the table, as the men took their places, sat Jeffries with Bob Ver- on at his left and Sam Berger, his manager, at his right, Johnson, George Considine, "Honest John" Kelley, Sam Harris, Sam Nelson. Bob Murphy and other well known sporting men. Jeffries eyed the negro curiously, but id not meet his glance. Johnson was affable, but showed his nervousness by lis frcxiuent grins and his constant clicking of two red dice, which he car ried half concealed in the palm of his right hand Pose for Photographs. Both DrinciDals DC3ed for the photog rapher and when the smoke of the flash lights had cleared promptly got down to business. Jeffries let Berger do h:s talk- re, but Johnson broke in frequently on his manager with suggestions' and ob- ections. Nevertheless., It was remarked as the articles took form, that Jeffries was winning nearly., fevery point for hich he contended. It was agreed without dispute that the men would' box for the heavyweight championship of the world. At this point Jchr.:on insrlstea that tne -present champion's name should precede the re tired undefeated champion's name in the written agreement. To this Jeffries quickly assented. Mer ger then suggested that the fight go to the club making tho highest responsible bid within the next thirty davs. L ine agreed, but Johnson, shaking his head dubiously, asked that each bid be ac companied by a $5,000 forfeit as a guar antee of good faith. T Jeffries nodded and Berger gave his assent. Anxious About "tho Coin." And have a man on the ground with the com." stipulated Johnson. U he sten c graph it inserted a clause to that effect. So far it had been easy sainng, Dut when the question of a referee was raised the crowd edged forward expec tantly. Little for Johnson,, wanted to name his choice. For the nrst time Jeffries broke in. Let thecltvo that gets the bid nave-a word." he ordered. "They've got as much at stake .as we have. Let it wait." Little was for arguing the point,- out Johnson was all conciliation. "Well, let it go," he urged, "that's all right." The "number of rounds was next in craer. So far as I eo." said Jeffries. "1 oon t care if it is six, ten. twenty or a hun dred rounds; but I know what the public will demand and I am going to see they get it it means a finish." At this the crowd cneerea, dui j arm- son was not satisfied. He feared a San Francisco club, where only twenty ound bouts are allowed, might get me bid. and in that event insisted mat twenty rounds should be specified. Then 'Frisco won't get tne ugnt. an nounced Jeffries;; decisively. "Make it forty-five rounds or more." Swallowing his objections previously voiced, the negro agreed volubly. Ko Trouble About Division. There was still the rock on which most agreements split tne division of the purse. To the surprise of the crowd, both men protested that they were will ing to fight winrer take all or 60 and 40 per cent or 75 and .25 per cent; and on the last named basis it was settled. The side bet caused more difficulty. Jeffries wanted to wager $20,000. John son, more cautious, offered ,uuu. initio, h! manager, wanted to lay. the money at ringside odds, "as a business proposi tion as a csmpromise. tney agreea 10 let the $5,000 already posted to secure to day's meeting stand, with $5,000 addi tional to be added forthwith. All right, assented jertnes,- plain tively, "but I wanted that r-twenty thousand. Johnson Still Particular. A great roar of laughter went up from the crowd and even Johnson grinned. Bob Murphy, manager of Hotel Albany, was chosen as tempor ary stake holder, the final stakeholder to be chosen by tne ciuo. No suh," said Johnson, "l has a

say where my money goes. The club has more to say man either of us," put in Berger. No man has more to say about my money than I have," affirmed Johnson, shaking nis neaa yei no yielded while protesting. Now only one crucial point remained: "When would they fight?" As a finish fight had been agreed on, it was the consensus of opinion that either Nevada or California must get the winning bid. With thirty days for trie bids to come in and sixty days more for the men to condition them selves in. the weather at the earliest would be too wet in California and too cold in Nevada. Both men agreed that. to accommodate the huge crowds sure at attend, the bout must be held out of doors. Berger further urged the necessity for ample train ing time. And it was formally settled that a day "not later than July 5, 1910," be chosen. The deal was closed. Again the principals posed for the flashlight men, champagne was serv ed while the articles were being type written, and at 5:40 the binding sig natures were affixed and witnessed. Death of Dr. R. L.

This City in Line for Mammoth' Christmas Shopping, y Next Month Will Mean Much to Commercial Trade. According to information received; at the state board of railroad commis sioners the Union Pacific will; soon place on two new trains, both of which will afrt V. nM .V. -,mr lar trade traffic to Topeka." One of the trains will be a through train running from Topeka up through Onaga, Marysville and eventually to Lincoln, Nebraska. The other train will run straight through from Leavenworth to Miltonvale, covering the territory now covered by the plug from Leavenworth to Onaga and giving them much bet ter service than they have at the pres ent time. And this is where the great benefit Is derived by the merchants of Topeka. The train will leave Miltonvale in time to meet the Rock Island St. Joe trains at Holton and the Santa Fe incoming trains at Valley Falls. It will then re turn to Miltonvale to meet the time card of those trains going back to their respective points. To realize how much this means for Topeka It must be taken into, consid eration that this same territory has been the bone of contention for all of the cities of the northeastern part of the state for some time. Leavenworth has almost prayed for this territory to their advantage and they are formulat ing plans to make this-line their big income along commercial lines. Topeka Shopping Center. Say that the distance from" Leaven worth to Miltonvale is 15C. miles. This territory lies in the- richest; and the best populated portion of the state of Kansas. St. Joseph, Mo., Leavenworth, Atchison and Topeka have- always fought over the right traffic for the people from .these, rural districts and strange to'say the people of. this dis trict have been as anxious for the bet terment in service and the better ad vantages- for shopping-as the commer j cial clubs themselves.. Topeka will naturally be the, big point -for this shopping district and the addition of -these trains will mean another spoke in the hub of commer cial trade which is now being strength ened every day. The next month is going to make ToDeka one of the best railroad cen ters for shopping and visiting purposes in Kansas. The Rock island puts on their big new train the seventh of next month. This will only stop at the larger towns but it means a lot for the city on account or tne iact mat tne towns between this point and 100 miles west are railroad- centers and attract the shoppers to this gateways-to larger cities. For instance,- at. Heringien tne people are figuring on the Kansas City and Topeka evening papers and on using Topeka instead., ot,,-. Wichita as their, trade: center. t'i Slore Motor-Cars. TheEmporia motor car will soon be followed, up' by other such cars oh a number- ot brancn, lines, ine missoun Pacific is planning, much better service in this city, for the accommodation of their garden spots. The Rock Island with their northern outlets and Inlets is doing a big business and the Union Pacific is attracting all of the traders in. their territory out of Topeka. f From tho looks ef-the actions on the part of the railroads at this time, the Topeka Commercial club is ont: the only organization working for the good train service the city will soon e.nJoy. Without the aid or the requests ot the Commercial club the railroads have planned trains of their own. All of these things together with the persistent work of the state railroad board in working for the interests of the people who have petitioned them make it possible for excellent service into this city before the big Christmas buying season sets in.
