After pitching an almost faultless

on Wednesday afternoon. with the
game slowed away safely in Topeka s

ninth inning opened up auspiciously
and shed forth a rainbow Of hope that
with the closing Of the Association
park gates for the night, the White
and Red Legs would be tied for the
fourth honor. But so it was not to
be. "Old Ginger weakened in that
last fatal round, allowed the Nets
three hits, hit one man and gave a
complimentary ticket to all the side
shows. It meant two runs and vic
tory for the territory people by a
score of 4 to 8. Topeka failed entirely
to even bluff the Nets in their half of
the wheels last spin, even though
Dunn, the first man up, walked with
out interference. The next three men
fell like yellow roses under q hail
storm. Halla provided the hail, hav-

excellent three hit game.

attempt to throw to first. The Sox
captain went the circuit for the ball
had not been blocked. In the third
round Carter doubled and beat home
the throw-in of Crum's fly to deep
right. In the sixth Quigley singled
and stole second and Crum drove him
home with another safe one to right.
Carter was hit ten times for fair
and gave three bases on balls. He
hit but one man. Woods handled the
tureen spoon in great shape, allowing
but three safe ones and giving but one
complimentary. He worked hard and
showed that he was tired at the end,
SO Risley wisely substituted Halla and
cinched the game.

WHO WILL BE CHAMPION.

Corbett Gives His Ideas on the Sue
cessOr of Jeffries.
Chicago, May 18.--Now that James J.
Jeffries has retired from the prize ring
for good, as he says, fight fans are ask
ing who will claim the title of heavy
weight champion. James J. Corbett,
who won the championship from John L.
Sullivan only to lose it again to Bob
Fitzsimmons, was asked this question
today:
GAS long as James ]. Jeffries lives he
will be looked upon as the champion, no
matter if he does go into retirement,
said Corbett He is in a class by him
self. There is no one in sight now
who can give him an argument, and so he
naturally is forced to retire. Jefries is
only 80 years old. He could leave the
ring for five years and then come BACK
and defend the title.
THE situation among the lesser lights
is interesting. II Jeffries should stay
out of the ring for good, then there are
half q dozen fighters likely to claim T1le
championship. OF course, we all recog-
uize Bob Fitzsimmons as. the premier
of them all Bob, however, Is getting
old. He is over the 40 mark and as
fighter he is all in.
ss1Farvin Hart seems to be coming
along like a champion, and he and Phil
adelphia Jack O'Brien are the most like
" men now. Tommy Ryan is too light
T believe. Willie lost his ambition
when Hart met him few days ago He
is no longer on the ladder don't ever
expect to enter the ring again myself
I am doing well on(the stage and fhat
profession is more profitable.

Bankhead set the pace by singing to

the deep-voiced Cecil. Seigle was hit.
Wood got to first on another helder's
choice, but murdered the big territory
catcher at second. Wilson had, how
ever, made his way to third. To Cap
tain Dud Risley must be accorded the
laurel wreath. He cracked out q
screaming single to left and Wilson
trotted home, tying the score. Frick
followed suit and once more the sacks
were fun. Then Carter showed his
clay feet, such as all idols have. by
passing Scoggins. and over the frying
pan fioated the winning run to the
doleful means and groans of a broken
hearted crowd.
