STILL ONE MORE.
White Sex Shut Out the Wichita
Champions.
Fast Game in Which Nicholas
Carter Was the Star.
HELD AT HIS MERCY.
Hits Secured by Wichita We're
But Scratches.
TOpeka's Infielders Play in Fine
Form.
HELD AT HIS MERCY.

Nicholasczarovitch Carter denied his
Russian ancestry on Wednesday after
noon, which in these days of sea-fights
and bank runs is synonymous with de-
feat He cut open only wider the cash
in Wichita's back, and rubbed in extra
injections Of salt and turpentine. He
let down the Jobber delegation with
three hits, shut them out by a score of
I to o. and fastened into their hopes the
third successive -crinp on their present
visit to. White Sock Town.
The game was as good as a govern
ment bond 1t was laid in perfect strips,
every stick quartersawed and perfect
ly dove-tailed. Big Old Nick-Ginger
Carter-was all of 1t. He had the VS.
itorS seWed up and blanketed every
minute Of the contest. Two OF the hits
which were garnered off his Stats
were of the scratehiest order, and only
denominated safe in preference to Civ
ing the infielders errors.
Beris was on the opposing firing line
the other factor in the great pitchers
battle. He got away like a thorough
bred from bunch of mustangs, but in
the seventh, just at the most critical
stage, his wing failed him, he allowed
a brace OF hits, and slammed one into
a batter's ribs filling the sacks. A fly
to the field, let home the run. Black
burn started the avalanche. He cracked
one of the twisters just over the eye
teeth and it went sizzling through the
atmosphere clear TO the left field fence.
The big White Leg went two sacks,
while fast man could have made the
next station easily. Jack Henry lit on
one Of Bennis crooked ones and singled
it to left. giving Blackburn life on the
third sack Brown got hit and the
sacks were full. Carter struck out,
but Cole was equal to the occasion. He
handed up what was needed-a hit or a
fly to the outf1eld. He got the latter.
Bevis captured the sphere, but Big
in and thumped his big feet into the
plate before O'Leary had smothered the
sphere.
That was the only score of the game
couple of other times, but the neces-
sary wheels were not put under the
men who got on the bases.
The game was really without feat
Abbott in center field. The big fellow
had six chances and accepted four
Five were difficult, and two of these
he dropped after brilliant efforts. The
grand stand criticised him for going
over in front of Lazotte and making
attempts at flies. He did this partially
so as to be able to go after the ball
sideways, whereas the right fielder
would have had to pick them right Out
of the sun.
Lazotte, Topeka's new right fielder
did not display any great caliber in
yesterdays performance. He had nc
chance, save at the bat and there did
nothing, although in the third he had
one Of the opportunities of the game
Two men were on the bases and il
was his turn at the stick. The best
he offered was little infield groundel
to the second baseman which was con-
verted into an easy put-out.
Hood played short for the visitors
and his work stood out clear and dis
Sinct. Farris, the regular man, was
laid UP with bad finger
Lewinson OBLIGATED and did his work
to queens taste. He had a few
wrangles over balls and strikes and or
several occasions had to close up the
vocal appendages of the Jobbers while
they were on the bench. Otherwise
everything was as peaceful as a spring
morning.
