Horton Makes Her Initial Bow and
Plays Good Ball.

Horton plays pretty good ball. but
she isn't in it with Topeka. The game
yesterday afternoon at Athletic park
was close one, and full of interesting
plays. Horton gets ratified easily.
Seven errors are charged up against
the visitors, while Topeka has to an
sWer for but one. Horton was not even
allowed a run by the Blues. Nichols,
Topeka's new pitcher, made his first
appearance before a Topeka audience,
and he pleased everyone. He is a great
improvement over the tall Switzer. Hall
caught in his usually excellent way.
Hoffmeister and Fox occupied the box
for Horton, and did better than some
of their companions. The following

The games this week are not league
games. Horton wants to come into the
