Wpdupsday's Races,

The statement in some way got out
yesterday that there was to he q ball
game at the Park instead as was
really the case race. The crowd
was not very large and so there were
not many to dissapoint, but the ball
management should he careful TO con-
tradict such false reports early in the
day hereafter.
The record OF the days sport is as
follows:
Fredonia 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
lola 5-0-3-5-l-ll-6-3-43
Now could you call that a ball
game? Nay, nay! Those boys from
the little town down the pike couldn't
play one old cat and they had their
first nkllng of that fact thrust upon
them yesterday. Somebody in their
latitude had read about lola having
won no games this year in the X. C.
WOrld and the boys had heard that
Topeka and Emporia had beaten US,
and they thought they might win
some glory and little practice by
taking fall out of the local team.
They took tumble. Only one of
them ever saw third, and he died
there; only three times did more than
three of them bat, and never moro
than four; three hits were scratched
bV them during the game W hen the
pitchers would make them hit the
ball to give the tielders practice, and
then when they were out they didn't
tackle one fly out of ten, but caught it
on the bounce or ran after it.
And lola batted around several
times, made half dozen home runs,
dozen wo-baggers, and refused to
run on singles. Pyne pitched three
innings aud ives merciless so Free
land was put in. He was as bad or
worse. He popped them over the
plate and once in long time man
would hit a ball and get on base.
Then there was trouble for the next
three hatters. lola never made an
error, and batted and ran until the
boys were tired.
The boys are nice boys but they
can't play ball and the management
arranged and sent them home today,
wiring last night for Erie to come up
this week instead of next as planned

Or course they are all good fellows
and all that. But it does sound just a
little bit queer to read that Baker and
Leland have decided that Bailey shall
run for Congress in the First district
next year and that some other leaders
have contrariwise decided that Curtis
shall be the candidate. Aren't there
any PEOPLE in the First district?
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1899-06-23

WHETHER Charlie Curtis wins in
the First district or not will probably
depend ON whether he can convince
the people that he did not agree nor
authorize any one to agree for him
that he would not be candidate this
year. Ifhe can show that there is no
broken faith in this matter hewill win
out without much trouble.

or in the least encourage you in your
noble efforts. 1 would have felt that my
highest duty was in close company with
my greatest personal qualification.
1t has frequently occurred to me
that in the present condition OF our
free negro population in the south and
the incidents often surrounding them,
we can not absolutely calculate that
the future of our nation will be always
free from dangers and cOnVu1siOns,
perhaps not less Iamentable than those
which resulted from the enslaved ne
grOes, less than forty years ago. Then
the cause of trouble was the injustice
of enslavement of 1900, 900 negroes, but
we have to deal with millions who,
though free and invested with all the
rights of citizenship, still constitute,
in the body polite, a mass largely af-
fected with ignorance, slOthfulness and
a lack of appreciation of the obligations
of that citizenship.
4 am so certain that those condi-
tiOnS can not be neglected, and so con-
vinced that the mission marked out by
the TuSkOgee institute presents the
best hope of their ameliOratiOn, and
every consideration makes immediate
action important, whether based upon
Christian benevOlence, a love of coun-
try or selfish material interests that I
am profoundly impressed with the nee
eSsity of such prompt aid to your eff
forts, as will best insure their success.
Il cannot believe that your appeal to
the good people of our country will be
unsuccessful. Such disinterested deVO-
tiOn a S you have exhibited and the
suits already accomplished by your un-
selfish work, ought to be sufficient guar
antee of the far-reaching and benef-
cent results that must follow such
manifestation of Christian charity and
good citizenship, as would be apparent
in a cordial and effective support of
your endeaVOr.
I need not say how gratified I am
to be able to indicate to you that such
support is Forthcoming. 1t will be seen
by the letters which L enclose, that al
ready an offer has been made through
me- by a benevolent lady in a western
city to contribute $4,000 toward the
endowment fund upon condition that
other subscriptions to this fund aggre-
eating the amount required With so
good a beginning I cannot believe it
possible that there will be a failure in
securing the endowment which Tusko-
gee so much needs.
