HOW Topeka LOST
Something About Eleven Inning Game
at Leavenworth.

Leavenworth, May 4.-Leavenworth
won the last game Of the series from
Topeka Tuesday by score of 3 to s
but it took them eleven innigs to do it.
It was one OF those hair raising, blood
tingling games and the fans who saw
the game can't talk and the knockers
won't talk. There was but a small at
tendance, but the audience made the
noise of a thousand.
In the eleventh when Rapps singled
and Archiquette raced from second to
home across the plate with the win
ming score the fans went wild; men
and women stood up and yelled them
selves hoarse, waving hats and UNI
brellas while the crowd on the bleach
ers surged on the field shaking hands
and hugging the locals for it had beeD
hard fought battle.
Umpire Franklin was much in evil
dence and is to be complimented on
the way he handles the players, but
then some of his decisions were very
yellow, but he did not favor either
side. Armstrong was put out of the
game and fined in the third inning for
disputing a decision. Lyons and
Nickel were each fined for kicking.

and bugIes blaring and. the priests with
cross aloft at the head appealed to
the dramatic sense of the Russian non
ulation as nothing else could. The sur
vivors of this heroic regiment which
cut its way out declare that the posi-
ton was surrounded by more than q
thousand dead Japanese.
The loss of the guns which. according
to the best information obtainable con-
sisted of q field pieces and eight ma
chine guns, is considered particularly
unfortunate, even though they will be
of no service to the enemy on account
of the removal of their breech locks.

st. Petersburg, May 4.-The emperor
has received the following telegram
from General Kuropatkin:
General Zasssa3itch's report on the
fight of May 1 says that the battle was
fought under the following circum-
stances:
"The Twelfth and Twenty-second
regiments and the Second and Third
batteries of the Sixth brigade of ar
tillery were engaged in the battle
which began with heavy cannopading
of our right flank by Istege guns at
Win and field batteries in the dis
lance.
AFTER a Iull the fighting was resum-
ed with extraordinary violence against
the left flank of our main position at
Turenchen and our parties of Japanese
across the Al river.
1.-The situation of the defenders posi-
ton became increasingly difficult, and
especially at Potietinsky, which. was
bombarded on the front and on both
TANKS.
Thirty japanese guns were pitted
against our battery at Potietsky, which
after having silenced the enemy s
mountain battery directed its fire on
the panese infantry and sustained few
losses so long as it was not obliged to
end up another position owing TO the
withdrawal of our infantry from the

simultaneously with the attack OF
Potietinslzy an attack was being made
on our left flank at Turenchen, and
the Russian trenches had to be abaE-
doned under the Japanese enfllading
fire. Our reserves several times min
gled with the first line, thus enab-
ling it for a long time to maintain

brought up into the firing line, but OW-
ing to the great distance from our
main reserve it was impossible for them
to reach the advanced force in time,
and our men retired from the princi-
pal position to another position in the
rear of Turenchen, followed by the
concentrated fire of the Japanese who
could not make up their minds to de-

Franklin.
The Leavenworth Times prints this
story about the intense feeling which
existed against Umpire Franklin;
Umpire Franklin was, according to
the consensus of opinion, so rotten
yesterday that he was good. The UNI
piring of the pigny from the eastern
league at every stage of the game
was worse than anything that could
have been discovered in the league last
about the work OF the officials in the
former season. The umpire called
strikes when the bail missed the plate
a foot and repeatedly failed to eau
them when the plate was cut in twain.
At one stage of the game yesterday
there We're three Lleavenworth players
on the bases and a man at bat Three
balls had been called and as the pitch
er threw the ball the fourth time a
great claInor arose making the decision
unintelligible. It seems that the bat
ter and base runners understood, bail
four which would have forced in a
home to score the forced run and was
touched by the Topeka catcher. Frank
lin called the man out and said that ne
had no business to misunderstood him.
Fans could not see through this decis-
ion. Perhaps they are little obtuse,
but why the batter was not also out IS
unintelligible to anybody.
Last night down town the ball play
ers of both sides were terribly en-
ragged, Outfielder Cole of Topeka going
so far as to threaten the umpire He
appealed his case to President Shively,
stating that Franklin had fined him
after leaving the diamond because Cole
stated that he was a poor umpire
The managers OF both teams have en-
tered protest with the president of the
league against the umpire, requesting
his removal. The Topeka players say
that they will refuse to play ball If
Franklin tries to umpire again.
Leavenworth won the game yester-
day and has no reason for Kicking
but it seems that it will be unsafe FOR
Franklin to umpire here again Disci-
pine is a desired thing but he was too
strong.
