GAME A GOOD ONE.

Twenty-Five hundred and fifty peg
pie, the largest crowd which ever at
tended a Western association game in
Topeka, saw the White Sox set down
the Guthrie Senators on a nest full Of
nine big Easter eggs on Sunday after
noon, even though Ben Henderson,
one of the premier twirlers of the cir
cult, was in the box for the visitors.
The score. was to 0, and it repre-
sents an earned victory.
To Bill HOWE, who presided over
the tureen for the white legs must go
q big mead of the praise. The little
fellow was in rare form. giving six
hits which We're scattered further than
the lost tribes of Israel. In but one
inning did he allow the wearers of
Meals togas to get two hits. This was
in the seventh already famous as a
lucky one for the visitors But fast
support knocked the gladstone cry Of
the tornado territory people into
cooked hat Fatal seventh 80 fatal
seventh" they shouted from the side
lines. The fatality of the thing broke
their direction instead of on the other
fellow.
But even despite Howie's good
pitching the Senators were dangerous
a couple of times. In the third round
they collected a couple of men on the
solid foOtings and once more in the
eighth. Nothing but misfortune pre-
vented Guthrie from scoring in the
eighth round. Quisser got on first by
compliment. Downs lined out a pref
ty two Dagger into right field. The
happy catcher of the Senators sprint
ed around the sacks like a house on
fire But in his eagerness to get home
he ran outside of the third base cut
ting by over a foot, for which Umpire
Owens called him Downs
and his band showed a little sem
blance of quarreling over the affair,
but the thunder cloud passed away
rapidly.
they shook hands Quigley ripped a
wicked one I'D against Henderson s
kneecap. Crum sacrificed him on a
notch. Then big Bert Dunn, who is
batting over 400, and is a hero with
the grandstand if the bowling ap-
may be taken into judgment, slammed
out a pretty single to the right field
and the sOrrel-topped shortstop raced
home.
In the second inning Jack Henry
picked out a straight one and drove it
into the right field. Little Mr.. Petit
grew lost the horsehide in the sun. 1T
hit him under the ear and .earOmed
off to the fence. JOckO going three
sacks. Charley Crum got hs optic on
ard Henry came in.
Though they worried the Sens tors
several times during the next innings,
it was not until the eighth that the
White Sox again got busy. Persch
singled his way to first Cole knocked
one to Pettigrew which the little right
fielder promptly muffed. Brown got
his base on balls and the stations all
reported, Track full" Jack Henry
marched I'D to the rubber and showed
the people once more why he is being
paid $50 a month. He hit the bail into
right field and Persch and Cole both
trotted home. HOWE drove high to
right and the game was over.
Bonnie Henderson got away bad for
the first two innings. He allowed
three hits hit two men. gave a base
on balls and made a bad baubIe him
self on bOoting a grOunder. After
that he steadied down and pitched
good ball. Altogether he struck out
seven men and gave three bases on
balls. Gossip among the players is
that Armstrong made Henderson
pitch better bah last year than Outs
ser is doing this summer.
