around shouted the Joplin coaching
lines as Fillman took the bat to start
the game. And the little manager
captain scored. He hit, and Crum
followed suit. Mike Welday's long fly
to center scored him. In the second
inning the Joplinites closed down
their paw over the game and made it
theirs. Five runs were registered.
Shimonek started it with home run.
Vanderbilt got his base on balls, Eels
got hit, Grant made first on SINNERS
error. and then Carter forced in a
run by walking Fillman. Crum
swatted the ball to deep center and
scored three tallies, but killed himself
at third by trying to stretch his hit
into three bases. In the fourth an
other brace was captured on Fill
mans hit, Olson'S error and Welday's
cOrking double. A few goose eggs
were then lined up. The eighth round
brought two more, Fillman and Eels
scoring on their hits, supplemented
with two-sacker from the bat of
BayleSS.

St. Louis, July 13.-Should the New
York National league club win the
pennant in that Organization this sea-
son. the team will be taken on a trip
around the world. Such is the plan

Giants

Graw's bunch feels confident of its
ability. to take down the flag. Besides
this. the trip is offered by Brush as
an extra inducement to his men to
extend themselves to the limit of their
ship
Brush was in conference with Sec
rotary Knowles most of the time on
the journey from New York here, fig
uring the itinerary of the team. The
start will be made from New York
city. crossing the Atlantic to England
then to the continent, where most of
the European countries will be Wis
ited- Turkey, India. China and Japan
will follow, and on the trip across the
Pacific to San Francisco the Philip
pines and Hawaii will be visited also.
Exhibition games will be played in
many of the capitals and large cities.
All this is contingent, of course,
upon the success of the Giants in their
battle for the pennant. but the de-
tails of a journey of such proportions
must be worked out long before time
fer the trip to take place There is
only one objection to such a tour in
the opinion of Brush, and that is the
danger of the men going stale

/ London, July 13."Ihere has been
a curious sequel to the wrestling
match between Hackenschmidt, the
Russian Lion and Tom Jenkins, the
merfcan, at Albert Hall last Satur-
day night.
It turns out that the promoters of
the affair never posted the 1000
pounds purse, but agreed to hand re-
ceipts to that amount to the wrest-
lers' managers.
The receipts only amounted to 1900
pounds clear of expenses. When the
managers tried to collect the money
they were unable to do so. and the
Wrestlers will be obliged to sue for it.

this story: THE report that the Leav-

fear that arrests will follow the first

The Topeka management had not

because the two teams had a game
