over ave thousand people which is by
far the largest ever recorded at an
exhibition of the national game in this
city the Topeka team wrested vic
tory from the Jobbers yesterday af-
ternoon by a score of to 8.
Cyrus Young III, who is considered
as the best righthanded twirler in the
Western association. was on the rub
Der for the Wichita team and for two
innings held the locals safe. But In
the third his trouble commenced when
Jack Halla hit the first ball thrown
for three bases and at regular inter
walls following hits were easy to Sc
cure off Young and most of them were
for extra bases and always came in
rich. rosy like clusters. In the seventh
he retired to the bench for the first
time this year.
Jack Hana performed on the
mound for the Topeka Champs His
pitching was of his usual good order
He was not so stingy with his hits but
always managed to let his opponents
connect when their hitting did the
least damage. He pfteheo steaoy
game throughout and was especially
hard to solve when the Jobbers had
men on bases.
For awhile it looked as though the
Topeka team was on the program Tor

two innings neither side scored ana IL
looked like a pitchers battle was on
the bill! for the afternoon IN the

though Wichita would win the game
IN this inning. Bayless singled to right
f1eld and Hetling attempted to score
but Davis threw the ball to the plate
In time to catch Hetling. The ball was
reiayed by Ha1Ia and was one or the
prettiest pieces of work seen during
the afternoon. This ended Wichfta's
prospects OF winning the game as
Halla was very tight after that and MS
delivery could not be touched wnen
the visitors were occupying the bases.
In the last half of the third, how
ever. the Topeka bunch got busy ana
with some hits and errors on the part
OF the Jobbers showed three men
across. Halfa lit on Young for triple

run to the good.
Young steadied down for an inning
but in the fifth the locals took another
wfack at his offerings and the tabu-
latfon of the locals was increased
enough to put the game away without
question. Lawler singled through Fol
land and went to second on Captain
Hurlburt's sacrifice hit. A three bag
ger by Abbott to right center scored
Tawler Abbott was leading on third
and Young threw to catch him but the
throw was low one and trickled
through Hetling's pins to the bleach
ers and Abbott came home.
In the seventh inning Topeka took
her third and final batting rally ana
Increased the score to such an extent
that the visitors gave up all hope OF
winning. After HaIla had been an easy
out, Lawler secured a two base hit TO
right field and scored when Hurlburt
duplicated the feat. Abbott sent red
hot single to right field and Hurlburt
scored the final run of the game. ABB

tiers were easy outs.

eighth inning and allowed but three men
TO face him.
In the ninth inning Wichita scored
one run. Bayless first man up singled

to the plate and Halla slipped three

ended.
The feature of the game was Davis
throw in the third which caught Het-
ling at the plate. After Becker had hit
safe in the eighth a fast doubleplay was
started by Olson which retired the side.
Halla made a grandstand stop of a hot
one. from Kelly's bat in the seventh
which looked like a safe one. For the
visitors Bayless' catch in right center
