JONES' BAD DECISION.

Everything came off as advertised in
yesterdays game Walter BOles, the
young Washburn law student. made
his debut on the home grounds and it
was a very suspicious occasion for the
young twirler. He certainly demon
strated that he has the goods with him
and was master Of the situation at all
stages of the game. The Nets landed
on him for ten hits but six or seven of
these were Of very scratchy nature
and by fast fielding would not have
gone down as hits On two occasions
Downs ran back into the outfield and
allowed a couple to hit the ground
which should have been out. Boles
was very steady with men on bases. IN
the sixth he had the opportunity to
show his effectiveness and after al
lowing three hits, two Of them
scratches. and a base on balls, all
the Nets were able to do was to get
one man home. with three men on
bases he famed Seoggins- The local
strike out record of the season, which
was made by Becker OF Wichita, was
eouaIfed yesterday by Boies when he
tanned out eleven men. He had speed
to burn and his curves were puzzles to
the opposing swatters.
Topeka made the first run Of the
same in the fourth inning. With one
down Downs singled and stole second.
Andrews hit to center and Downs
scored. In the next inning they got
another across. With. one gone Cole
singled and Halla reached first on a
helder's choice. Hurlburt singled and
Cole trotted home.
The visitors scored only in the sixth
Lewis opened with a single, but was
caught on Wilson's fielder's choice
Lotion walked. Root made three
Desperate attempts to hit the ball and
laid down his bat. But Wiser and
Woods singled in succession, scoring
Wilson and filling the bases. A home
run By Scoggins would have won the
game but he famed.
