APPEAL FOR SALVATION ARMY.

To Citizens of Topeka ::

To Citizens of Topeka:
Kindly permit me a moment of your
time to state a few facts with reference
to the true condition of the work of
the Salvation Army in your city.
speak from actual experience when say,
that there can not be found a single
charitable or religious organization in
the city of Topeka that has done as
much practical Christian work among
the real deserving poor, and received as
little encouragement as the Salvation
Army has in the twenty years past that
we have labored for the betterment of
Topeka'S citizens. We readily admit
that there are other institutions in the
city that deserve support, and while
that is true, we feel sure that the good
people of Topeka will not allow the
Army to be batted about from pillar
to post any longer, but will respond to
our appeal at once and assist US. We
are not making an appeal for $4,000 or
s100 900 building, but simply for q S15,-
OeO building, which the Army actually
needs in this city to properly carry on
its spiritual and social work While
speaking with one OF the leading bust
ness men of our city few days ago, he
said: st have been watching with more
than usual interest the work of the

to the Baptfsts.
The Topeka Nine Swung the
Willow Strong, Too.

Out at Washburn park yesterday af-
| ternoon the first college game of the
season was played and in this game
Washburn smothered the team from
Ottawa university by the score of 10 70
3. While the game would not be called
fast one judged from the standpoint
of league game it was a good college
game and both teams played great ball
for college teams. 1t is unfair to judge
college team too harshly for their
teams are always composed of players
whose first thought is to study hard
and then if they have any time left
over they get out and practice a little.
The CHIEF reason that Ottawa did not
win was Lonberg, the blondine lad who
dispensed the Spaulding over the plate
to the Ottawa batteFs. Lonberg is a
boy about eighteen years of age and
judging from his name and the color of
his hair his ancestors in the not very
far distant past came from Sweden His
curves and control were his two strong
assets and only at six widely scattered
intervals were the BaptfstS able to
Straighten out the curves and make
the ball light where there were no field
ers.
Pitcher Mcdonald of the Ottawa team
was easy for Washburn. The sons of
Ichabod connected with him for twelve
safe ones, one-third of which were good
for extra stations.
Walter Boles of the Topeka Cham
pions is also a student of Washburn
college and yesterday afternoon he
played third for the Blue. Boles' hitting
was feature as he batted $50. He also
played third base, in a., way that made
the fair. damsels of college, Hill clap
their little hands and sing, Ma NINA,
Mamma Pin a Rose, on Me."'f,~,-,...= =.
Besides Mr.. Boles-@ McCampbel1, White
and Stahl swung the willow with pretty
good success.
All the runs that were made for the
Washburn team came as a result of
good hitting coupled with the transport
tation extended by Mr.. Mcdonald of
the visitors who dealt it out with the
air of railroad attorney during legis-
lative times. -s..>.-,,
None of the runs of the visiting COL
lege team were earned and all were d.
rectly traceable to errors.
Washburn will play Haskell Thurs
day afternoon and if they make as good
a showing against the Indians as they
did yesterday against the Baptists it
will be a good game and well worth see
ing.

fully during the coming season, curves,
