TAKEN BY SURPRISE
Mr.. and Mrs. A. P. Butcher
Given Farewell Party,
HAD A JOLLY TIME
Other Events in Wichita's
Social World.

On last Friday night at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. P. Butcher near Hayes
vile their many friends and neighbors
of that vicinity gathered and rendered
them, before their departure for their
new home at Wichita what proved to be
one of the most enjoyable times as well
as a surprise that has occurred to them
in many a day. To say they We're sur
prised does not express ii, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Butcher desires to express their
thanks for the kindness shown them in
giving them this surprise and they ap-
preciate their friends efforts very highly
indeed, and the occasion of this evening
viii cling to the memory and go down
through life with them as one of the
most pleasant and happiest times that
has occurred to them during the nine
teen years that they have lived here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Butcher came here very
early in the SOS and landed in Wichita
when there was scarcely anything at all,
and settled near Hayesville, and during
that time have gained for themselves a
reputation and name that they might well
be proud of and have made many warm
and personal friends, and the many as
sociations and pleasant surroundings
that they have came in contact with and
the friendship ties that have become very
dear to them and it Is with sad regret
that they take their departure for their
new home at Wichita.
After the mingling together Of friends
and talking over old times they all re-
paired TO the dining room where boun-
tiful spread awaited them, which only
the ladies of this vicinity know how to
prepare and TO which they all did ample
justice to. An enjoyable evening was
spent by all when the hour of twelve
warned them that it was time for them
to take their departure, which they did
mid lingering good byes. and wishing
them well in their new home. Among
the invited guests were the following
Mr.. and Mrs. A. P. Butcher, Mr.. and Mrs
I. n. Dean of Wichita: Will Shoemaker.
George Scarth, Homer Wiley, George
Blood, Ross Dandy, Dan Benner, Joe
Eager, VIII Dunkin, Mr. and Mrs. VIII

THE RECORDS.
AMERICAN LEAGUE

II was hot the hinges Of a furnace al the
foot OF Coogan's Bluff. in Harlem. yesterday after
noon, when the New-York and Chicago teams
crossed bats in League championship game. The
terrible heat seemed to have unnerved the visitors
from the West and they played like so many
echoolboys out a frolc. and not at all like a
team Of professionals who receive salaries TO rep
resent !n baseball of Americas largest cities.
The men from Chicago did not know what TO do
with the bat. and their fielding was about what
would be expected from team occupying their
postion in the championship race.
Chicago was once a terror IN baseball when An
son was IN his prime. Now the team is the laugh
ing stock OF the league Even Doyle seemed 20
feel the atmosphere Of languidness, and dii not
show any OF the old time fire. waddel injured his
hand IN the fourth inning. His work had been
poor but no worse than that done by Eason, who
relieved him. The home team played with the Wis
itors as a cat would with mouse. and made runs
untH the players were footsore and weary. Math-
ewson pitched with telling effect and received ex-
cenent support. Mcbride. formerly of the Cincn-
rau team. covered right field for New-York and
dId good work. Score:

BROOKLYN WINS AND LOSES.
DONOVAN Is THE sTEADIEsT PITCHER IN
BROOKLYN AT PREsENT-GooD ALL
AROUND WORK IN FIRST GAME.

Outside Of Donovan. the Brooklyn pitchers seem
10 be particularly erratc this year and little de-
pendence can be placed most Of them. The st.
Louis and Brooklyn teams played two games at
Washington Park yesterday, each team winning a
victory. In the opening game Donovan was hit al
regular intervals, but the drives were scattered
and did not bring in many runs. On the other
hand. the champions wasted none Of their hits
some Of them being good for more than one base.
In the second game McJames went in to pitch.
He apparently aid not have confidence IN himself.
and used little speed He lasted only four innings,
when he was sent the bench. and Kitson took
his place. Kitson hit hard in the fifth inning
when two triples and TWO singles resulted in three
runs After that he pitched with confidence and
effect. Brooklyn scored three runs in the fourth
inning singles by Sheckard and Daily, Dahlen's
three Dagger and a long fly. Scores:
