No Wrangling With the Umpire
This Time.
5OT ONLY TWO HITS.

Sunshine always comes after clouds
Successive previous days brought
shameful apologies for baseball games,
but on Sunday afternoon, before a
crowd of 1000 people and President
Shiveley (and the latter was not an
''also ran" for his presence put
starch in Umpire Cameron's back) To-
peka doused Springhelds lights in a
gilt edged rendition of the great ma
tional sport by a score of to 1.
Long Tom Hughes was it, His
arm working like a piston rod, perfect
with control, his elbow wheeling forth
curves, Sizzlers and benderinos that
laid shadows over the heart of the
plate almost every time, he had the
Hfghlanders between the thumb and
first fingers on his right hand. But
two hits were they able to collect
from his service. These came in the
second and third innings and only one
did damage. 1t indirectly brought in
the Highlanders' only run. Begley got
it, stole second and ran in on Dunn S
, bad throw to first after gobbling up
Sebeaugh's easy grounder. Just 80
men faced Big Tom. Five innings out
of the nine saw but three of the Mis-
sOurians go to the plate
But behind him was given almost
perfect support, outside of Dunn who
made Topeka'S two errors. The field
ing of L.azotte and Murray stood out
pre-eminently. But the feature was
the brilliant "doings" at short by
"Red" Quigley. After his disastrous
explosion on Saturday he gathered
himself together like a veteran and
yesterday produced the real article.
Two put-outs and five assists go to his
credit
The White Legs got the jump on
their guests and turned on the screws
Ellis furnished the slants. Quigley
got to first on Olmstead's bobble of his
grounder. Dunn handed UP the neces-
sary single. Murray waded into the
melee and blasted a hole into the left
held atmosphere with another safe
one. Quigley went home. Abe La
zotte stuck his willow into a crooked
one and lifted it high and deep into
center field. Hisey got it after long
backward run, but Murray beat home
the throW-in. The game was won
right then and there.
To make things sure and be positive
that the cat was out of doors before
the lights were turned out and the
doors locked, another run was gar
nered in the seventh. Henry drew a
pass. Dick Brown, who is getting a
reputation for such things, sacrificed
him on a notch. Cole drove a pretty
guards while the other fellows do the
batting, and Jocko raced in like
Scottys special on a tangent. That
ended the work of the score boy on
the board. No more kinks were made
in the frying pan after that.
The work of Hisey in center field
was thing not overlooked by the
fans. This speedy youngster, just lei
go by the White Legs, made some OF
the faithful wonder and ask the
question, "Why?" He played a great
game and kept Topeka's score from
mounting higher.
Umpire Cameron was practically
unnoticed throughout the game. Many
of the spectators paid their quarter al
the gate with the idea that they
would see the big fellow with the little
voice mobbed, but there was nothing
of the kind doing. President Shiveley
heard of his troubles at his debut Sat
urday and came up to find out where
the belt was unbuckled. Look here
Cameron said doc, before His
Umps" went on the field, 81 want you
to run that game. Don't give those
fellows the idea that they can do
whatever they d please. You get
busy on them with your watch when
ever they try TO chew the rag with
you. There is a bench over there YOU
can put them on to. Now you run that
game
After the game was over, the two
met again. We'll DONE said doc ex-
tending Cameron the glad hand
you're all right. Just keep 'em NOV
