RAISED THE HooDoo.
The Saints Got After Pitcher Morgan
For Three Runs.

The Saints did two things Satur-
day afternoon, despite the fact that
they We're beaten by a score of to 3
by lola. They erased the hoodoo
which Pitcher Morgan has held over
them all year. In every game up
until Saturdays he had shut them out.
Not a run had the Celestials made
while he was in the box. The other
thing which Topeka accomplished was
to write out Umpire Collins DEATH
warrant. In this they were literally
aided and abetted by the crowd.
Collins demise was the feature of
the game. 1t began with his foolish
method of announcing the points. The
crowd Missed his effort into silence.
Captain Abbott was all but fined and
sent to the bench for giving This
jumps" to understand before the game
that his decisions must be fair. Col
Inns did fairly we'll for about two in
nings. Then his eyesight on balls
and strikes wavered like weed in a
hurricane. He had bunch of close
base decisions and every one went
against Topeka. lola got the better
Schrant threw out a base-thief who
tried to pilfer second. But Collins
called him safe. 1t was plain then
that his soul was cauterized to To-
peka's interests and the crowd would
have wagered it's Sunday o dinner
against a handful of shinglenails that
Collins maliciously, made his decisions
against the Saints. The crowd roared
at him mercilessly and threatened him
with violence. Hurlburt, Topeka's
new left fielder handed Collins whole
bunch of his opinions, tied up with a
string of compliments. For that
Spec" was shelved on the bench for
the remainder of the game and
Hughes took his place.
But the real thunderheads began
to pop up at the close of the contest.
Collins called the third Topeka man
out and then hustled to the side lines
and armed himself with a bat The
crowd got down on the field and boot
ed him to a finish. Milsap of the Gas
lighters took the stick away from him.
Then Bert Lucas. sheriff OF Shawnee
county appeared on the field and with
the help of Bob Miller, escorted "his
jumps to the car. The party got off
on Quincy and Eighth street. About
so young men and boys followed and
had good time. They at least scared
Collins to death, even though not one
of them would have probably hurt
him.
+ The Topeka team protested him Sat-
uFday night, and asked for a new face
behind the Indicator for Sunday.
The contest itself had good features,
but they were choked out like young
corn by weeds. Carter pitched a rat
ting good game. But Morgan. was in
the square for lola and he is hard to
beat. 1t looked, however, as if he
was slated for a trouncing in the first
inning when successive hits brought in
run. But then for six straight acts
following he proved invincible. An
error and a hit gave another in the
eighth and brace of singles added
one more as the curtain dropped. The
third and fourth innings proved bon
anzas for the Gaslighters. Six hits,
two errors and hit batsman Melted
a total of six chalk marks in those
two rounds and clinched the game
right then and there.
The score:
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-08-08

At this stage the score was to 0 in
IoIa's favor. Topeka came to the bat
and two men followed each other OF the
put out route. Then Milton passed Cole
and Schrant to first in succession.
Hurlburt filled up the sacks with a neat
single And with rising of the sun on
Topeka's fortunes came one Dunn. IL
was his first day in the Missouri Val
ley league with Topeka, although he
played here in days gone by. "Oppor-
tunity'' knocked three resounding
whacks at his door. The crowd was
cunning" him for a hit. He paid the
bill in new currency and all the out
standing interest at a compound rate.
Milton dished up a beauty. 1t got no
further than Dunn's bat, before 1T took
a northward tumble. Shumeyer found
it against the left field fence, three runs
found themselves on Topeka'S side OF
the score board, and Dunn found him
self on third and in high favor with
Topeka fandon. And then to swell the
balloon to a bursting point, Bankhead
Immediately made bad throw after
picking up Abbott's grounder and Dunn
raced in with the fourth run, putting
Topeka in the lead. The grandstand
Jumped up into the air. The bleachers
turned double summersaults in agony
of delight. The fans had a chance to
raise it, and they got in their lift
But with it too fell the curtain on the
scoring. Not another Saint hurried his
wearied footsteps DER the rubber.
For the next two innings there was
peace and quiet on the deep. Then the

by Wilson, Seigle and Milton brought

Collins umpired, and as usual made a
spectacle of himself. His work is not
nearly as raw as his actions. This town
does not like him. President Shiveley
came up from Kansas City in response
to telegram to investigate the protest
following Saturdays game. II guess
I'll send you somebody else said
Shiveley, mot because Collins work is
poor, but because it seems to be the
wise thing to do" Forthwith he sent
a telegram to Gus Alberts to figure be-
hind the indicator today.
