Here are two jolts from the Hutch-

Wichita delights to prove itself in
lie metropolitan class. Baseball fans
pulled off riot after the first game
between Topeka and Wichita and
came near mobbing the umpire in the
true fashion approved by the larger
leagues.
Judging from the records of the To-

Here is a play you don't see very
often. It was pulled off in the Wichita
Topeka game on Tuesday according to
the Wichita Eagle: Maryott who held
down the second sack for Wichita. yes
terday, came here from Springfield. He
shows class but was slow on base run
ming in yesterdays contest. Once he
was caught mapping and was thrown
out, Carter to Perish. The latter sneak
ed in from center and covered second
base.
Howard Price has been driven to the
bench at Wichita, while a new man by
the name Of Green is trying to take his
job away from him in the right field.
The Wichita Beacon tried to save him
with this: The little anvil chorus
against Price should cease. Price is
giving all the players run for their
money. He is developing into one of

Apologies like this are appearing ev-

same old story cannot be told every day,
for the Shoplifters with their present

be drawing their semi-monthly checks
in Sedalia.
