The popular and prosperous landlady Of
. Aourishing boarding house, who some.
times receives very unique letters about her
rooms, submits this, written by man, as
sample:
!. DEAR Madam: l wish to discover some.
thing about your house before making up
my mind to 60 into it. VIII! you kindly tell
me whether you have mostly old or mostly
young people in your house? DO they stay
up late at night to play cards and play on the
piano? Are they people what might be con-
sidered lively? How many hot baths are
ticular about my drinking water, and want
TO know whether you filter it and boil it.
Which side Of the table will you put my
chair on? The doctor Insists that have a.
much sun as possible"
These and similar questions too numerous
to be mentioned, says the Philadelphia Rec.
ord: decided the landlady. and she wrote
back to the inquiring young man that no
rooms were 70 be had in her house.

Second Contest Accordingly
Limited to Five Innings.
Record Breaking Crowd at the
Ball Park.

Before at least $500 people. the White
Sox and Sedalia Shoplifters broke even
in a double-header at Association park
on Sunday afternoon. The obsequies:
First Game. Topeka 8; Sedalia 4. Sec
Ond game. Topeka 0: Sedalia 5.
Both were deserved victories. Tom
Sheard and Henry Leist shook hands
after the melee was over, content over
the playing. but chuckling clear down
in their pockets over the fat gate re-
ceipts. Let's play in Topeka all the
rest of the summer" insisted Mr.. Leist.
''Your invitation to yourself has my
approval" winked Mr.. Sheard.
Was it a crowd? You can just bet
your every shekeI it was the premier
one ever on Association park, even
though Mr. Sheard declares that the
figures deny such an assertion. Every
seat in the grandstand and both the
bIeachers was taken, and people were
standing against the guard ropes
stretched along the foul-lines. After
the first game was about half finished,
Mr.. Sheard called up the downtown
drug store where baseball tickets are
sold, and said as follows: Don't sell
any more tickets. We cannot accom-
rnodate any more people," wouldn't

Saturdays Game.

Sedalia played horse in the eighth
inning of Saturdays contest and threw
away the game, by allowing the White
Sox to make five runs. The exhibition
should have been punished byshnes on
the whole aggregation. It all came
about through a quarrel over Knarr's
strike out. Cheek had walked and
Knarr famed the ozone. Henry
dropped the third strike and Knarr
ran to first and Cheek to second. I'm
pire Alberts, who of1iciated instead of
Chic, called them safe, and irnme-
diately afterwards changed and called
Knarr out. because Cheek was on first
when he famed. The Sedalians began
to kick and pretty nearly all the team
congregated about Alberts on the
middle of the diamond and raised their
voices in loud howls of protest AL
berts ordered the game to proceed.
Hughes threw three strikes over the
plate without a batter being there and
Gus AIberts Immediately called Jake
Bauers out, it being his time at the
stick. Then Jake marched Up and be-

THE Coming Country

The opportunity for the man of lit
tie means is probably better today in
the prairie states of the southwest
than ever before in the history of the
claims or of taking up lands under
government laws is gone and will not
return again. It is a different kind of
opening which lies before the settler
and its promise is of exceeding bright
ness. Its best opportunity is shown
in the great southwest where the
Transformation is going on and where
the conditions of soil and climate is
in harmony with the warm skies and
temperate winds. To the man who is
not satisfied with his condition. the
southwest has an inviting future.
Along the lines of the Missouri,
Kansas s. Texas railway there are vast
areas of unimproved lands awaiting
willing hands to make them yield the
bountiful crops of which the land is
factories and new business of every
description. 1t is the finest kind of
an opportunity in the finest section of
the United States. The southwest is
unexeelled for the variety and fer
ti1ity of it's soils-for its climate. Its
people are progressive and up-to-date,
it's religious and educational facilities
are as good as can be found elsewhere.
The NJ. K. & T. railway has no
lands for sale, but is interested in
building up this productive country.
1t is believed that the southwest has
brighter prospects and offers better
opportunities than any other section.
Seeing is believing. For, that reason
the southwest courts investigation of
the conditions as they exist Anyone
southwest will do well to address

Tuesday. Its health and wealth
and success
The Sedalia baseball team feels that
DR.. Graham, the baseball writer on
the Sedalia Sentinel, has caused all
the unfavorable sentiment now exist
ing against them in the Shoplifter
town. So today they sent him the fol-
lowing letter. It speaks for itself:
To Dear DR.. Graham. editor of a
wouldbe newspaper in Sedalia, Mo-:
The members of the Sedalia baseball
team wish to extend greetings to the
active interest you and your staff have
taken In the welfare of the team. and
owing to the many unkind, ungentle-
manly and degrading remarks made
by you through your little Evening
Breeze" we feel duty bound as mem
bers of the team to protect ourselves
in this matter, and in doing so we ex-
tend to you a cordial invitation to re-
main in your little Office while a game
is in progress at Sedalid.
There are many reasons why we ex-
tend this invitation to you and your
staff, one being that your presence
seems to have demoralizing effect
upon the morals of the people in the
grand stand as well as a depressing
effect upon the players. AS you must
know, about the first thing a mother
teaches her children is to shun wild
companions and our hearts go out to
the people who appreciate attending d
to associate themselves with an evil
which your very presence brings with
it. We are almost afraid that in
this note we have said something to
offend or insult you, but as all the
boys feel that the latter would be inn
possible and the former all Ok We
have decided to send this to you:
Trusting that you will in the future
always have the feelings of every
member of the Sedalia team at heart
and not force your presence upon US
at the games, We beg to remain, yours
most kindly.

From the Joplin Globe: The hap
piest feature of yesterday victory over
Oklahoma City at Cox park was the
tribute of loyal fans to Johnny Fill
man, retired captain. manager and
short stop. on the eve OF his depar-
ture from Joplin for Kansas City, to
cast his lot with the Blues of the
American association. When the pop
uIar player went to bat in the fifth
inning the mascot handed him box
at the plate. Fillman stopped to open
it and displayed to the view of an ap-
plauding grand stand a handsome
bouquet Enclosed was a parchment
bearing the signatures of 200 fans to
testimonial to the effect that Ffllman
was by them exonerated from all
blame for the recent slump of the
Miners from third to seventh place,
and extending him well wishes on 9TH
er diamonds. Ed Swartz and Jimmy
Bronson had been active in the circu-
lation of the paper, and last night at
Bronson's place of business, Fillman
was presented with a handsome solid
gold seal ring, engraved with his
initials, and bearing inside the in
scription: 'Johnny Fillman, from the
Joplin fans. 1905

Abbott Is Given Shower After His
Home Run.

But Topeka won't have baseball with
in its confines for Is days from today
on. The fans wanted to get a last look
at their darlings before they departed
and cast themselves into the hands of
Sedalia, Leavenworth, Wichita, Guth-
rie and Oklahoma City, all in a row. It
was case of last chance for a while, .
and they took advantage of it. There
was some advantage in it for the base
bail association as well.
Both of the games were good. The
first was a run for the money all the
way, while the second was not SO good,
due to the fact that it had to be
sliced down to five innings on account
of the impressive heat" as Frank
Quigley announced it.

In the fifth Sedalia made another, the
result of singles by Bauers and White.
Jake came home ahead of the throw
in, following Rohn'S long fly to LETT
That tied the score in a. knot. But IN
the seventh LaZotte and Blackburn did
the business. Abe singled to first. Big
George Blackburn rolled up to the plate,
picked out straight one and sent the
pill screaming over Knarr's head in the
sun garden. Over the rubber came the
run and with it came the game.
Curtis was on the firing line for the
Shoplifters. He pitched good ball but
was hit at opportune times. HoWey,
who served them for the White Legs
was very effective.
The second game was entirely boss
ed, superintended, and run by Smiling
Tom Westcott.. For the five innings OF
it's duration, he let down his enemies
without hit. Jimmie St: Vratn, on
the firing line for the Blackburn tribe,
was an easy mark for the visiting bats
men. They fell on him for nine safe
ones in the four innings which they
worked. No telling how far it would
have gone had the full game been
played.
The second contest was dead and un-
interesting. Not only did its one-sided-
ness ruin attention to it, but the exces-
sive heat, which shot down from the
four corners of. the sky, had taken the
starch and enthusiasm out of both
players and spectators.
Gus A1berts appeared on the field to
umpire, but the Sedalians refused to
have him because of Saturdays trou-
Bile Bob Talbot officiated during the
first game and proved a master. Tom
Hughes started in on the second, but
after having made a very bad decision
at second to the disadvantage of his
team mates, they hoped on his medulla
oblongata, and he quit and went home.
Talbot was recalled and finished the
trouble.

New York, July 17.-Before Gus
Rubin goes after Marvin Hart he will
tackle big Jim Mccormick, the Texan,
who is travelling in the west with John
L. Sullivan. A telegram has been sent
to Mccormick by Billy Madden, Rub
Inns manager, saying that Rubin is
willing to go to the coast to meet Nc
Cormick. The mighty John L., who
should be as good a judge of what a
heavyweight fighter ought to be as any
man in the world, is sincere in his
claim that he has a world-beater in
Mccormick. Should be beat Rubin
he will undoubtedly be matched with
Hart, and the western sports will have
a chance to see another contest for the
heavyweight championship.

The ball players are having LOT of
fun over Umpire sAlberts' decision of
Saturday in which he called White out,
because Bauers batted in his turn. The
game was not protested as some
thought. No, shucks," said Captain
Rohn, 'I won't protest the game. 1t
is over now. Why. that was the hot
test thing that ever happened in base
ball history. It was double play from
Alberts to Hughes to Henry. Whoopee!
Wasn't It a peach. tell you what I II
do hereafter. I'm going to line up my
batters in a row from the bench and
as soon as one man is out I am going
to have the next up run at full speed
and slide to the base, for fear that he
may be called out before he gets there.
That is the truth. That is what m
going to do. Seriously now that de-
cision don't go down my throat at all.
Admitting that Bauers was out on
strikes. why did A1berts permit him to
stand there and bat when White
should have been up. The umpire
would simply have had to order. Jake
to the bench and If he had not gone
he could have forfeited the game.
That is where my kick comes in. AL
berts cannot get over that point. If
he called Jake out he should have or
dered him from the plate. Did he do
it? No-o-o-o-e!s Course he didn't. Oh,
Tell you what Westcott did last night.
He fixed up letter like this: Dear
Gustavus Alberts: If you come out to
the game again when we are here you
will be assassinated. Then he drew
cross bones and a skull at the bottom.
Say, it is all a picnic; you know it.
Funny? Wa-a-a-a-l, I should say"
Henry Leist, owner of the Sedalia
franchise came to Topeka on Sunday
and took charge of the team which he
again bought on last Friday. The
stories thattwe are not drawing in Sc

we get good attendance over there. I
played here last Sunday because it
rained on all three of the regular days
which the boys were here before. Sc
dalia will never so out of this league.
You can just bet on that. We got a

it worth while for any team to come

is concerned. Just watch us go now
