[For the Roundabout
A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

The death of Mrs. Sarah E
Innes, on Tuesday night last, re
moves t he central figure of larg,
circle of children and SURVIVING
relatives. In their profoune
sorrow, all who knew her, and who
realize the fullness of the blow
that thus skaters the old home
must deeply sympathize.
Mrs. Innes was, in character,
as she was in descent, of the
pioneer type. Strong in will
power, undaunted by misfortune,
with resistless energy of purpose,
she waded through the obstacles
of life with all the fortitude and
instructive Sense of duty that sig.
nalizes the Christian soldier. The
industry and frugality of her life
was supplemented by a respect
for the right and a detestation for
the wrong that found no compro.
mise in her estimate of character.
She was always earnest, forceful
and intGitively self-reliant. The
emergencies and misfortunes~ of
life never found her unprepared.
At the death of her husband,
more than twenty years ago, she
gathered her bereaved children
about her, and began life's battle
anew amid disheartening trials,
with nerve and intelligence that
proved fruitful in fortuitous re-
suits. The old home has been
the annual gathering-place of the
children when seeking rest from
life's burden or when the heart
warnings for the spot of early
childhood became too strong to
resist.
In the death of the mother the
central link is broken, and the
aching hearts, whose pangs re-
fleet a voiceless sorrow-a sorrow
too deep for words-can find heal
ing alone in the touch of time
and Heavens own balm. But
the memories of the happier days,
ere the angel of death came, will
always remain to bless and con-
sole. S.

STOPS RUNAWAY.

Edward Miller, colored 10y,
succeeded in stopping a runaway
horse, on Monday. 1t seems that
the horse became frightened, on
Broadway street, and dashed up
toward the depot. When it
reached the corner of Ann the
colored boy dashed to the street
and caught the bride, swinging
on until the animal stopped.
There was a small white boy in
the vehicle. The colored boy was
highly commended for his brave
act.

COBB NOW LEADS THE LEAGUE.
The Heavy Hitting Detroit Tiger
Passes Elmer Flick.

Detroit, Sept. 24.-Elmer Flick no
longer leads the American league in
batting, Tyrus Cobb, the agile Tiger,
having wrested that honor away from
him. Cobb held his own during the
past week and gained one point be-
side, while Flick dropped no less than
fourteen points, leaving him 1927,
while Cobb is 33S., Otis Clymer of
the Washingtons is but six points be-
hind Flick while Sam Crawford is
only two points behind him.
George Stone has at last struck his
gait and is coming SO fast that both
Flick and Cobb will have to do some
tall stick work to keep in front. The
1906 champion has an average OF .315
at present but will probably be closer
to $40 when the season ends. AL Ortiz,
the Yankee pitcher. is the only other
player in the 800 class. which has
dwindled to six in consequence of a
slight slump by Niles, who dropped
from 800 to 290. Manager Lajoie,
Milan and Chase have chances to en-
ter the select circle before the end of
the season, but the others look to be
out Of 1t.
Cobb is liable TO be the only one
that will pass the double century in
hits, he having made 1S5 already.
Stone is second with 169. Crawford
having made 165 and Flick 159. Sey-
bold and Pickering are the only other
ones with over 145 hits to their
credit

SHAKE-UP FOR MAPS.
Radical Changes to Be Made in the
Cleveland Team.

Cleveland. Sept. 24.-Before the bell rings
for play in the first game of season Of 1908
the Cleveland baseball club will have gone
through one of the biggest Jshake-ups in
local American league history. Under
present plans of management half the
pitching staff and half the infield will be
replaced by new men. There will be a
new utility outfieId. and probably a new
catcher. The pitchers upon whom Lajoie
will rely upon the regular duty next sea-
son are Joss, Liebhardt, Thielman and
Berger. Barnhardt and Hess, upon whom
waivers were asked some time ago, will
figure in deals. as well as will also Clark
son, who has failed to come up to expec-
tations- RhoadeS may or may not be on
the Cleveland payroll next season. 1t will
depend largely on the showing made by
the young twirlers whom Larry will look
out for in the spring. Clarkson and Dele
hanty were taken on by Cleveland because
anything at all was preferable to Earl
Moore. Delehanty has entirely fulfilled
expectations, and Clarkson's work has not
been of any calibre to keep him the
payroll. Great hopes are placed in the
two southpaws. The Maps will try out
next season baltimore and Granley. Char
ley Check as also looked on as pretty sure
to make good. As to the infield Bill Brad
ley and George Stovall are to be replaced
the former by George Perring-the latter
by Lister Daubert or Bill Hinchman.

places under consideration: Lawrence,
Kansas City and Joplin. We cannot

beau at Kansas City still holds out for

cannot consider SO Joplin looks like
the place. Tebeau thinks that we are
bluffing and 1 don't think that there is
any chance of going back to Kansas

bonus and give US a free park and they

New York, Sept? 24.-PhiladeIphia
Jack O'Brien has come out with an
offer that will make a few of the box
ers sit up and wag their ears bit. He
says he can whip Tommy Burns any
time he faces him. and offers to fight
the Canadian for six to twenty rounds
providing the latter would agree if he
lost to give the entire proceeds to
charity If O'Brient loses he will let
Burns have all the money. He admits
that both he nddBurns ~ fooled the
people of Los Angeles with a prear-
ranged affair. s'TI also wish to state, -
said O'Brien, that il Jim Jeffries will
agree to fight me six rounds will box
him anywhere but in the west, and if
I fail to stay six roands with him he
can have all the money
1T have won lots of money by box
ing spectacular exhibitions and now,
if am called, will take on either
Burns or Jeffries, as L have stated,
and have the money go to charity.

BATTING AVERAGES.
What the Players on the Topeka Team
Did With the Bat.

The batting averages as printed below
are complete for the Topeka team for the
season. AS is to be expected Davis is
leading the team by a good margin, due
to his terrific hitting during the last two
months, and not to padded averages as
has been intimated by one who would like
TO get the Job of official Scorekeeper. Abb
bolt has also hit great clip, the best he
has ever done in his career. Raglan i'm
proved about a hundred points this sea-
son, while Olson has also hit well. Sick
meyer has batted better than most of the
fans thought he was doing. Runkel got
a poor start, but came up well at the close
of the season. OF the players who failed
TO finish the season in Topeka, Landreth
LAWYER and Erwin did the best work
Wooley slumDed while with the locals.
Among the pitchers Halla and Jones did
the best work. The players marked with
an asterist were released during the sea-
son or from other causes failed to finish
with the locals. The averages:
