FairmOunt Beat the High School

Faculty Yesterday.
The faculties of Paramount and the
High school played a game of baseball
yesterday afternoon on the Paramount
athletic field. The score stool 80 to 20,
in favor of Paramount The game will
go down in the baseball annals of this
city as one of the greatest games ever
played on any field. There were grand
stand plays of so great number that the
score book was filed at the end of the
fifth inning and the scorers did not try
to keep track OF them after that time
Not one error can be charged UP against
either team but the way the ball was
fumbled about the diamond was a eau
ton For some cause the players could
not get their hands on the ball very
often and when they did and had
chance to throw it, every one sent the
little leather-coveeed sphere either too
high or did not throw it hard enough to
get it across the diamond. The game was
a smuggling match and there would have
been several home runs made but the
wind blew the BAN back. There was on
the ground an ambulance with all the
necessary supplies but was not used
to any great extent
Paramount went TO the bat and Miller
opened the show by knocking a grounder
between PProf. Dyer's legs. Clark got
hit and after a series of base steals 8Iil-
Ter scored. The faculties did not set

MUSSELMAN WINS EASILY
In the Match Game OF Gclf with
Howard 5IGffat.

Al Musselman won an easy victory over
Howard Moffat yesterday at golf. Mofat
played one Of the poorest games he ever
played. Musselman drove the ball around
the links in a masterful manner, adding
to his fine record in the tournament. as
he has already beaten several of the best
players in the club. He is the only
scratch player and so far none of the han
dicaps have reached him. Though there
was a high wind. both men did some ex
ceptional driving. Moffat's hitting was
poor, while Musselman Gid excellent ap-
preaching and putting. Two very difficult
holes, three and eight, Musselman did in
five each. Nothing out of the ordinary
was achieved on the long hole, Mussel-
man doing it in ten and Moffat in 1S.
So far Musselman is one Of the few
players on the links who during the tour
nament has not experienced an 'off'' day.
A player may put up a very fine game
right along for weeks; then will come
bad day in which all the lies are poor, the
distances achieved short and the ap-
preaching and putting unsteady and mac
curate.
The last games of the third series VIII
be played of today.
The result of yesterdays game by holes
was as follows:
Musselman " 8 8 10 6 5 g. 50
Moffat $1,000. 8 10 8 13 10 g. 70
Moffat had a handicap of over Mus
seluan which makes his score T6.

Grafters and Con Men Can't Work In
Wichita.

Yesterday the town was fun of con.
men and grafters, but the gentry were
not allowed to light anywhere by the
police and were notified by the depart
ment that Wichita is not an open town
for people of their ilk and that it would
be advisable to hike on to the next stop
ping place or get in trouble with the au-
thOrities. Only one attempt was made
to turn a trick and that was at the Mis-
souri, Pacific depot. A couple of sure
thing boys tried to get two young men
from Mt. Hope interested in their line of
work, but the Mt. Hope boys failed TO go
against the proposition and mentioned it
to one of the Missouri Pacific officials,
who notified the police and the slick guys
were taken in and are now occupying
quarters looking out on the new city

HARD WHEAT FLOUR
Kansas MiIIers VIII Combine
TO Push Its Sale
I'm EUROPEAN MARKETS
Wichita Men viii Figure
Prominently in Effort.

Since the erection Of the Watson mill
has been commenced there is talk of
other mills coming to Wichita and the
miliers here are thinking more about
the markets of foreign countries. The
hard wheat -four Of this section is COM
ing more and more in favor and just
how to place it proftably on the market
of Europe is the problem that seems
to have been successfully solved by the
milIers of this city. They have proposed
plan that is going to be adopted by the
miIlers of the hard wheat section of
Kansas and western Missouri.
The plan is to have the milIers of the
hard wheat section form a combination
Of sufficient financial ability TO control
a million dollars worth OF -four There
was a meeting in Topeka this week at
which were all the big millers in the
hard wheat section of Kansas and west
ern Missouri. The plan of the Wichita
millers was submitted, discussed and
adopted and the company will be formed.
1t is the purpose Of the company to adopt
brands for Kansas hard wheat -four and
have them copyrighted so that nobody
outside of the combination can use
them. All the -four made by the mem
bers will be inspected and branded by
the combination and its agents will place
the -four on the European markets. In
that way the combination expects to es-
tablish the reputation Of the hard wheat
-four in foreign countries and when peo-
pie buy -four branded W the combina-
ton or association they will know ex-
actly what they are getting.
People of just ordinary business saga
city viii be able to see the wisdom of
this arrangement. The millers in the
hard wheat district will be free 10 con-
duct their home business just as they are
now doing but the whole of them will
compose a powerful trust on the markets
of Europe. The trust will handle every
pound of -four sent to Europe and they
will handle it more economically than
when each is working by himself. This
is a business proposition that looks feas-
ible on its face. Kansas wheat -four is
coming more and more in favor in this
country, and already it is beginning to
be in demand in England and other for
eign countries. The northwestern big
millers long ago saw this point and they
tried to discredit Kansas hard wheat
nour by placing a guarantee an their
brands of -four, that it was not mixed
with Kansas wheat. Now they could sell
their -four for better prices if they could
guarantee that it was all made Of Kan
sas wheat.
TINS Kansas trust will be winner and
Wichita miIlers will soon be sending
large shipments of hard wheat -four to
Europe. Probably no small amount Of
it will go by way of Galveston or New
Orleans.
]. E. Howard and Hiram Imboden are
figuring in this trust and Mr.. Watson
will be in it when his new mill is ready
for business.
