WHITE DARES THEM.
Has Topeka Ell1s in a Corner Over
Ball Game.

Nit White, Nestor of athletic sports
at Emporia, Kansas, and leading
spirit in the Emporia herd of Elks, ap-
parently has the Topeka herd backed
into a corner while he stands off sham
ing them with pointed finger.
Two weeks ago White sent a chal-
lenge to the Topeka herd Of Elks to
meet the EmpOria bunch at the latter
place on the baseball diamond. He
claims the challenge was ignored.
A few days ago he sent the follow
ing telegram to the Topeka lodge:
''Emporia, Kansas.
Topeka Lodge of Elks.
"Rumor here Topeka Elks baseball
team is dead. Advise date of funeral -
White claims he didn't even get an
acknowledgment of the telegram.
Two years ago the Topeka EIks went
to E1mporia and were victorious in the
baseball contest. Last year the En-
porians came to Topeka and ignomin-
iously defeated the Topeka team. Will
gite claims it is Topeka's turn to go
to Fmporia now, and he is in Topeka
today to see if some one won't inject a
hypodermic injection of gasoline in the
Topeka Elks' baseball team, in order to
revive it long enough to meet the EN-
porians.
White is so anxious that the game
be played that he has volunteered to
waive all objections to professionals
like Cooley and urges the Topeka
bunch to trot out"the best they've got. "
White is having a lot of fun with
the local Elks who have a. lodge of $50
members. which is about twice as large
as the Emporia lodge. He declares that
the unpleasantness caused by the UNI
pire at last seasons game may be
Hoch or W. R. Stubs to umpire the
next game.
