WESTERN LEAGUE WINS.
Takes First Game of Post Season Sc
ries at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Sept. 24.-The Blue Sox
grabbed the first game of the post
season series on the grounds of the
Gradyites yesterday, knocking out a vic
tory at an to clip. 1t was a fast.
exciting game all the way through and
the 1900 fans who rooted and yelled in
the stands received a run for their mon
ey. Charlie Nichols pitched one of the
best games of his life and Durham. his
opponent, also dished up a beautiful
grade of ball.
The defeat of the Blues is the result
of combination of several things. Pri
marily, it was Nichols. but secondly
the team was hanging on ether all the
time and the men made hobbies which
were costly. Only one of the Blue Sox
boobies, that by Messitt, resulted in a
tally, while they scored four of their
runs on errors and one on a free ticket
Two lucky hits, which developed into
homers. gave them two more runs. In
the first inning Tommy Messitt hung
the ball on the chicken coop in left field
and sent three men over the plate ahead
of him. In the next inning Robe. with
two men on bases, slammed the ball on
the coop again, and it bounced onto the
fence. Rolling for several feet, the
sphere seemed undecided whether to fall
inside or out of the grounds. 1t finally
chose the latter course and another
was this life-saving luck and the other
things which brought the first game
into the wigwam of the Western
leaguers.
Had Leewe taken a dose of nerve ton
&c before going into the game Durham
would have had one of the best records
he has made in game this year. Bull
knew that he was pitted against a past
master in the art of deceiving, and did
his best to win. And he pitched beau
tiful game. Eight times he made the
Blue Sox tease the atmosphere, but
Nichols outdid him in this respect, for
he eased the ointment on the fire-eating
Blues eleven times.

Trego County Farmer and Help Win
$500 Prize Money

Salina. Kas., Sept. 24.-The worlds
wheat threshing record has been broken
by ]. w. Groachmer, a farmer of Trego
county. who in IL hours and Is minutes
threshed 4.O71 bushels of wheat. which
surpassed the old record by 81 bushels
for the same length of time. The IN
centive which caused the man and his
help to make the attempt was stand
ing offer of $500 by a certain thresh-
ing machine company for the beating
of the record. which for a number OF
years has stood at 1890 bushels. Every
thing had been arranged for the con-
test, and although thereew re SO stacks
on the farm and these arranged so that
several moves were necessary, so quick
ly were these made that the shortest
time consumed in moving was 21z min
utes, and the longest time seven min
utas.
The wheat on Groachmer'S place
averaged 80 bushels to the acre. All
the hands who helped Groachmer will
share in the $500 prize money.

wellington Is Considering
Drawing the Color Line.
Plans to Have a Separate School
for Negroes.
TOO MUCH FRICTION.
White Pupils Object to March
ing With Blacks.
All Sorts of Trouble Come Up
on Play Grounds.

wellington. Sept. 24-The Mail says:
In all probability wellington, in the
near future, will have separate school
room for the coIored pupils and have it
IN charge Of a colored teacher. If this
is done it will do away with a source of
much annoyance in the present manage
ment of the city schools.
There are now about % colored pupils
attending the city schools. They are
scattered all through the grades and in
almost every room. This has been the
situation for years past, except that
there have never been as many of them
heretofore.
There has always been more or less
friction in the management of the
schools on account Of the presence Of
the colored pupils White pupils always
object to marching in line or sitting
in the same seat with them All sorts
Of trouble arise on the play grounds.
But heretofore there have been too few
OF these Colored pupils to hire a separ-
ate teacher for them.
This year the truancy law has in
creased the school attendance until it
looks as though the board of education
will be compelled to employ another
teacher anyhow. The suggestion that
this new teacher be q negro who shall
take charge of all the colored pupils in
the schools is meeting with very general
favor Such a teacher would have about
as many pupils as several of the other
teachers.
The suggestion has been made that
I'D Thompson be employed as this teach
CT. He is a graduate of the Wellington
city high school and has had five years
successful experience as a teacher. He
has the confidence Of both the whites
and the blacks.
The only extra expense such a plan
would involve would be the salary Of
the teacher. There are vacant rooms in
both the First and Third ward buildings
that can be heated without extra cost.
If another teacher must be employed
anyhow, it would doubtless be the best
arrangement for the city schools to send
all the colored pupils to one room and to
a colored teacher. This plan would. at
least. relieve the school management of
many constant griefs. And the colored
pupils would have just as good educa-
tiOnal facilities

Lawrence, Kan. Sept. 24.-The board
of athletics of the University of Kansas
met Wednesday afternoon to pass upon
the eligibility of candidates for the foot
ball team and three men were barred
from participating in this years games
Jenkinson, who was captain of the 1901
Jayhawkers, was declared ineligible be-
cause he has played the four year limit
He was put in the Kansas Missouri
game for about two minutes in 1899,
and was on the team regularly the next
three years. His two minutes of play
cost him one year on the team. Hart
and Read were both barred on account
of their studies. They may be able TO
make up the deficiency as neither is
much behind. Read and Jenkinson
would have been fine halfback material
and Hart was showing up well for quar-
ter. Peters, of Kansas City, last years

MINERS FROM THE SOUTH.
Over Two Hundred Italians Have Ar
rived at Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Kas., Sept 24-Over 200
miners, principally Italians from Thur
Der, Tex. have arrived in this city in
the past few days to work in the mines.
They were compelled to leave Thurber
on account of the strike. and the ex-
pense of their transportation here was
borne by the treasurer of the national
United Mine Workers. Most of them
seem to have a little money and only
few of them have families with them,
although it is stated that two-thirds of
them are married and have families in
Texas.
Owing to the large number of new
mines being opened up in this portion
of district No. IA, there is plenty of
work for miners. and a large addition
is expected from the Thurber mines.
