WIN AND LOSE A GAME
Wichita Defeats Atkinson Sunday
But Lost Monday.

The base ball cranks were jubilant Sun
day night. Wichita took the first game
from Atchison on Sunday afternoon by a
score of three to four. The game was a
hard fought one and abounded in bdilliant
fielding, both sides were even for batting
honors, each making seven singles. Wich-
tia had the best of it from the start and
were never caught. Bevis pitched for
Wichita and Menefee did the back stop
work in his usual creditable manner
Parvin pitched for Atchison and Warn
er caught With spirits in the skies over
the first victory away from home the fans
were depressed and in gloom last night
when it was learned that Wichita was de-
feated by a score Of IA 70 4. In Sundays
game Montgomery work on third base
was a feature while Mayer made several
phenomenal running catches in left field.
For Atchison Howe and Miller led at the
bat and in the field. Wolver who found
his arm too sore TO pitch yesterday. set
the crowd wild with his antics on the
coaching line.
The team is not in shape yet. Callahan,
the new pitcher whom it was expected
would join the club at Atchison, has not
showed up and with Woliver's arm out
Of condition the team only has one tw.rler
and that is Kid Bevis. Two games in
succession is too much for any pitcher
the way they have 20 throw these days
and as a consequence he lost. Red Dono-
van left over the Santa Fe for Atchison
yesterday morning and VIII pitch today.
The club will lay off Wednesday when il
is hoped that Woliver's arm viii be all
right 10 throw against Topeka on Thurs
day, the opening game there.

mat this can be done easily. Appuca-

called. All were present excepting Messrs
Tucker and Dunn
The first thing in order was to organize
by electing officers. Mr.. Gehring placed
Mr.. J. c. Rutan in nomination and was
seconded by Mr.. Hatfield Mr.. Stewart
placed Mr.. Anawalt in nomination. Mr..
Husey seconded the nomination. The vote
stood Rutan 8, Anawalt 2. Mr.. Rutan
thanked the members for the honor and
confidence reposed, in a few words.
The next order Of business was the cleo
zion Of a ce-president. Mr.. Anawalt
placed Mr.. Husey IN nomination. Mr..
Stewart seconded the nomination Mr.
Husey declined. Mr.. Jackman placed Mr.
Hatfield in nomination. He declined and
asked that me nomination of Mr.. Husey
be made unanimous Mr.. Jackman moved
that the rules be suspended and that the
secretary cast the vote for Mr.. Husey.
Carried. Mr.. Husey was declared the vice
president. He thanked the gentlemen for
III honor.
DR.. Easton moved that the secretary cast
the ballot for the board for Mr.. Caldwell
for secretary. Carried.
Or. Easton moved that the secretary cast
the ballot for the board for DR.. Furley
for treasurer. Carried
The next order of business was the nam
ing of the standing committees for the en-
suing year. President Rutan said that he
was not prepared TO do so then. In order
that the new committees to be named by
Mr.. Rutan could become acquainted with
their duties, 1t was thought advisable to
adjourn until next Monday night when Mr.
Rutan said ne would be able to name the
committees.
Mr.. Husey said that If the board had no
objections Mr.. o. 3. Crewson would like
to address them for few minutes. He
was given the privilege. He was there
to protest against the closing OF the school
at the Burton Car Works. He said that
there % children there OF school age and
that II would be an imposition TO compel
them to so TO Irving school. He claimed
that the distance would be two and half
miles, which was too far in cold and rainy
weather. He drepacra ted the idea of hir-
ing wagons to haul them there. Mr..
Grewson hoped that the board would re-
consider their action in justice to the resi-
dents of Burton. Mr.. Anawalt said that
the matter had been gone over thorough
" at the time it was considered and he
did not favor taking it up again. Mr..
Hatfield moved that it be referred to the
new committee on buildings and grounds
together with Superintendent Dyer. The
motion carried.
Superintendent Dyer recommended that
the city schools open for the fall term on
Monday, September 70. and that the fall
examinations for teachers be held We'd

NEW LINE
Of Telephone is Started to
Conway Springs,A rgo MIA,
HARPER AND ANTHONY
Work Begins on Rebuilding
of City Exchange.

Yesterday morning a force Of fifteen
men. under Foreman Dixon, began the
construction Of second telephone line
from Wichita to Wellington. From We'll
lington the line will be run to Conway
Springs. Milan and Argonia, Harper and
Anthony. Wichita has just been connect
ed with Goddard, Cheney and Kingman
west and the line is now in service. This
has been noted in the Eagle and Is the
beginning of the fulhllment of a predic-
ton made by the Eagle five months ago
that within year 800 miles more of local
line would connect Wichita with all the
principal towns in southwest Kansas.
And this also is proof of Wichita's Eli
bent as a wholesale city and jobbers dis
tributing base. Only recently Jett &
Wood bought lots near the railway tracks
for the erection of a new building with
double the capacity of their present quar-
tiers. and yet they have been in business
here less than three years. The Wichita
Wholesale Produce company bought Dots
near the same place and are preparing to
construct a four-story brick.
Sunday notice of Johnston & Larimer's
new move and increase of room was
noted Every wholesale house in the city
is prospecting, and those that are not in
imminent need Of greater storage and
shipping facilities have simply been for
tunate in securing locations at the start
that have admitted of extension and i'm
provement of original plans without re-
mOval
Increase Of wholesale business increases
the need for better teJephonic and tele-
graphic facilities and improvement of tele-
graph and telephone helps the movement
Of Wichita to successful superiority as a
wholesale point. In a wholesale way, the
towns along the new phone line to King
man are worth an increase OF $4,000 a
year in business. The new line to yelling
ton, Conway, Argonia, Harper and An
thony is worth three times as great an
Increase, because of the better facility IN
ordering.
Within the last two months the Western
Union built another telegraph from here
into Oklahoma.
In addition to the big force of men put
to work on the Wellington line, Manager
Duggan also put several men to work re-

few months the whole Wichita exchange
will be reconstructed.
Wichita is getting itself together for a
brilliant home-run. Who gets his fingers
over the endgate Of the band wagon will
in the next few years pat himself on the
back for the faith he had in Wichita and
will be able to promenade on the ground

Grape Growing on Little
Land.

1t is surprising how little extent OF
earJn's surface Is needed to root grape
vine. II 1t can grow upward and have
open space enough on one or two sides
W get plenty of sunshine, the area in
which its roots can ran Is a matter OF
comparatively small importance. We
have seen thrifty and productive grape
vines where there was only three feet
OF space between house with its cellar
3wan on one side and the street sidewalk
on the other. Az the sidewalk WAS
made OF plank, the grape roots undOubt-
eddy extended under it. But even with
this there was scarcely a space seven by
twenty-five feet on the Oarth's surface,
and this supported for yORrB two grape
vines, eacn OF which ran up . trellis as
high as tue house, and bore every year
thne clusters OF luscious fruit at tue top.
This was probably an extreme case.
But IL shows plainly that many whose
places are small do without grapes,
when II they would economist what
space they have, they might have this
| fruit in abundance. One thing, hOwev-
or, must be we'll understood, and that is
/ that only the south or west sides Of 4
