T0peka's Hits Came at Wrong
Time Monday.
Leavenworth Won By Score of
5 to 4.
THEY FUSS WITH CHIC.
White Sox Made Trouble for the
Umpire.
Blackburn and Crum We're the
Chief Offenders.
HEY FUSS WITH CHIC.

Leavenworth, Kan. June 27.-In a
game characterized by considerable
wrangIing with Umpire Chic Topeka
lost to the Woodpeckers on the Soldiers
Home grounds on Monday afternoon by
a score of to 4.
Speer was on the firing line for the
home team and while effective right
along, he was wild at times forcing in
run in the eighth. In tight places, with
men on the sacks, the White Sox were
unable to annex to his curves.
Carter, who served for Topeka, was
steady as a clock but poor support was
accorded him. The general fielding OF
the Woodpeckers was however some OF
the best which they have done on the
home grounds this season
The visitors had most of the trouble
with the umpire. Crum and Chic got
into an alteration which resultedin the
lanky right fielder being ordered from
the field, but after a parley he was al
lowed to remain. Blackburn at first also
devoted a great share of his energies
to going after the umpire, with the re-
suit that he played his position poorly.
The score:

has competed as a driver of an auto
mobile on the race tracks in the east
for the last time. Barney believes that
there is more money to be made in the

confine the few weeks yet remaining
him prior to his retirement to enter
business to gathering in western

In the east. Oldfeld feels that it will
be a case of fight for every penny, as
owners of big cars naturally gather in
the east. In the west it is possible for
Oldfield to drive exhibitions and make
good money.

blooded way" said Oldfeld land no
one can blame me. For three years
have defended the championship
against every one and taken all the
chances. I am not ashamed to say
that I do not like to take these chances
now. for I have made my pile, have
a nice bank account and am in a
position to go into business. When

ter six months trip to the orient.
Perry thought he might pick up
match or two around Hongkong or

this, though he says he had q bully
good time. Perry will be remembered
as the boy who defeated Dick Case
and Dial Hawkins, only to be snuffed
out himself by RUFF Turner. Perry
says he may fight Kid Grant at Bel

London, June 27.-The defeat Of HoI-
conbe Ward, the American national
lawn tennis champion, and the winner
last week of the championship of the
city Of London in the first round of the
alI-England tournament at Wimbledon.
brought much joy to the British camp.
The contest, in which S. H Smith, the
welsh champion, was victorious, was
probably the fastest ever seen in Eng
land. Ward was not quite up to his last
weeks form, attributable perhaps to
the stiff work of the last two days, but
It is conceded that Smith never played
a better game.
