REDS THE WINNERS.
Santa Fe Ball Team Easily Defeats

A few dozen Topeka people assembled
at Washburn athletic field Saturday to
watch the Santa Fe Reds chastise the

For person who enjoys witnessing a
close ball game, the first inning was a
sickening sight The visitors retired with

players braced up and nine of them COM

The Reds had IA runs to their credit.
Henry had his foot on the slab for the
Reds and Sherman, the former pitcher,

MUCH GAME KILLED.
Shooting Match in Which II. n.
Keith and Frank Hendricks Lost.

A shooting match was held Friday
which was rather severe on game in this
part of the country but great sport for
the sportsmen.
Lindon Hazen and VIII Shaffer agreed
to shoot more game between 3 and IL
o'clock in the morning than H. H. Keith
and Policeman Frank Hendricks could
bag in the same length of time. Keith
and Hendricks went out one morning
and incidentally took a good shot along
to carry the game and perhaps kill a
few. Plover, pigeons, blackbirds and
doves We're to count in running up the
points. Keith, Hendricks and friends
scored 476. That was pretty good rec
ord but the next day HaZen and Shaffer

Title of "Brakeman" to BE
Abandoned by Railroads.
Has Been a MisnOmer Since Air
Brakes We're Adopted.
ADD DIGNITY TO WORK.
Men Will Be Known Hereafter
as "AssiStant Conductors"
Brotherhood of Railway Train
men VIII Push the Idea.

Chicago. July 3O-Of1cers of one Of
the railroads operating in the territory
west of Chicago are considering the ad-
visibility of abandoning the time-hon-
ored title of brakeman on passenger
trains and substituting the names, first
assistant CONDUCTOR second assistant
conductor" and so on down the list.
1t is argued that brazing, particularly
on passenger trains, is no longer done
by muscle, but by air, which makes the
title a misnomer. The change may be
extended to freight brakemen as soon
as all cars are equipped with air de-
vices
The name brakeman is entirely out
OF place." said an officer of the road
that is considering the change 1T has
been missioner for years, or ever since
brakemen ceased to be brakemen. which
is since air brakes came into use.
Twenty-Five years ago brakeman
meant a person who set brakes to stop
trains. Now it may not be applied in
that way correctly.
"A brakeman has nothing whatever
to do with brakes except to connect the
air apparatus between the cars of a.
train when it is being made up. Even
this work is not done by them in large
terminals. These men are assistant
conductors They attend to the signals,
call the names of stations and assist
in many other ways about the trains.
THE change would help raise the
calling; it would tend to add more dig
nifty to men in this department of rail-
reading. On many roads passenger
brakemen are promoted to conductors"
Brakemen have long been in favor of
having their titles changed to some
thing besides brakemen. not because
they are ashamed OF their department,
but because the name no longer indi-
Gates their line of work 1t is under
stood that the question will be taken
before the next meeting of the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen, which is
made up principally of brakemen. and
all roads viii be asked to adopt the
change in nomenclature.

Word for Fort Scott Ladies.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
In your editorial on the Fort Scott
conventions you give all credit to a few
gentlemen. AS a visitor let me say that
much credit for those fine conventions is
due to the ladies of that city. Their ell
egant decoration of the new hall, making
and selling hundreds of Sunf1ower fans
for the building fund; furnishing reserv-
ed seats in the gallery at 81. each for
the speaking to help pay the bills. and
their CHEEKY reception at the doors as the
delegates entered, lent much enchant-
ment to the occasion. Long live and
success to the ladies of Fort Scott.
