The Y. NJ. 6. A. Tenn beaten at Capt.
tol Park.
The Pension Office nine administered an
other defeat to the Y. NJ C. A. team at
Capitol Park yesterday afternoon, in the
Independent Amateur League, by a score
of Ii to 8. -.-s., .... ...,-.. q. , Ia
The Pensioners had a remarkably strong
team on the diamond, but their playing
was very rocky. Bolway and Beall were
about the only ones who put up any kind
of a game, the former making running
backward one-hand catch that was met
with a hearty applause. Lewis did the best
work with the stick, although every man
made hit, with the exception of Cutcheon,
who reached his base on balls three times.
For the Y. NJ. G. A. Kellar and Brown did
the star playing. the latter accepting all
chances but one at third base. Harms did
the twirling for the first three innings. but
in his inability to locate othe plate he re-
tired in favor of MorrisonSwho, consider
ing his spraned hand THAI he received in
the game with the d. c. o..s, did very well.
In the fifth inning Cutchepn, while at the
bat. had his finger mashed. and Raedy
was substituted. ii
Considering the short notice that Man

ceived to get his team together a great
deal of credit should ber9given him. He

COIored Young Men Get Up "a ReallyFunny
and Musical ENTERTAINMENT.
What was without doubt the most or
iginal minstrel show that Topeka people
have had an opportunity of seeing for
manv years, was given last evening at
the Bijou theater. 1t was genuine negro
mnstrelsy. The snowy Autographs in
the windows announced that Kirk s.
Hedges mammoth aggregation could be
seen at the Bijou. The B jou was crowd
ed last night The olio was at once
pretty, and decidedly funny. On the
right were Walter Wade, Henry Edmonds
and EaO Slaughter, who manipulated the
tambourines. The bones were John
Walker, Ed McHarlan and Bud Golf.
The interlocutors, "Mistah Tuhnah"
(Turner) was dressed in gorgeous or
iental robe of yellow. He wore a yellow
turban.
Ed McHarlan was the star of the whole
show. He was the funniest of the end
men. Walter Wade was a close second
to him. The olio began with a chorus
sung with harmonic effect. Then the
end men entered and went through a
fancy drill, ending with representation
of a baseball game. The jokes were all
good and>the songs well received. The
qUartette consisted of such celeb rities as
Andy Williams, Milt Hammond, Henry
Wade and Cecil Smith. There were
some excellent specialties, and the
performance was concluded with an old
fashioned cake walk. This was the fun
niest thing of the evening. The WHOLE
performance was a creditable produc-
ton, considering that it was given by
amateurs.
All the members of the show are col
ored men living here in the city. At 6
o'clock last evening parade was given

ant The boys who took part in the
Sixth avenue affair yesterday were
brought mp before Judge Ferry.
The boys were arrested at noon yester-
day, at the request of the clerk of a dry
goods store on East Sixth street
One of the boys had stolen some cloth
ing and given some of it to another boy.
J. W. Brokaw was the boy that received
the stolen property. It was shown that
he did not intend to do wrong, and he
was discharged.
Cliff Moffatt was fined SO for having
stolen the clothing. Dennis Dunford
asked for a continuance, which was
granted and the hearing set for tomor-
row morning.
There is an old warrant against Dun
ford, which the police will probably use
after the present case is settled. It is
for disturbance of the peace. Dunford
is also under another charge; for it is
claimed that during the bicycle races at
the fair grounds he snatched pocket
book from Miss Matte Payne of North
Topeka. The pocketbook contained
1925. Dunford said that the pocket
book was under the grand stand.
This morning Sergeant Donovan and
Officer Haisch took him out to the fair
grounds in Haisch's patrol buggy to
search for the missing article. The
young man is such sly fellow that the
officers put the nippers on him. Arriv-
ing at the fair grounds Dunford led the
officers to place under the east end of
the grand stand, and in pile of rubbish
was the pocketbook. 1t was returned to

A Midnight Cry that Raised the People on

The whole neighborhood in the vicini-

North Topeka was aroused one night
this week by cries of Help, murder,

The peaceful and quiet North siders
had just gone to bed when this cry of
fright assailed their ears.
a Monroe street man rushed from is
home in his slumber robe and stilled the
frantic cries for a moment by yelling
"Where?"
"Over. here at Rlunk's," screamed the
voice.
All the able bodied men in the vicinity
were now astir and hurrying to the scene
of the murder.
Mr. Bunk WAS standing in the yard
with his six feet of sta ture partially CON
cealed by his night clothes. He and his
wife do not live happily together, in fact
they have disbanded since then. After
listening to his family troubles for a
moment, the crowd separated and each
one went sorrowfully home. 1t is
doubtful if he could raise a crowd now
even by yelling sire" He is the "new-
est" man up to date.
