that was all they could do and man
once on base was only able to stay
there until the inning was over.
Halla's control was perfect and not a
single violation of the anti-pass law
could be charged to him.
Opposed to Halla was Earl F1e-
harty., the pride of the Salt Packers
Fleharty is one of the best pitchers in
the league this year according to his
record. He has won thirty games and
yesterdays performance makes his
sixth defeat, and the second one in
which Topeka turned the trick. He is
also the pitcher who broke up Sun
days performance a few weeks ago by
a ninth inning home run. But Mr..
Fleharty did not have his usual good
luck yesterday. He was touched up
for seven hits, three of which came in
one inning and lost him the game.
One of the runs of the locals would
have been prevented by perfect field
ing but he would have lost the game
anyway.
The game was one of the best
played in Topeka for some time from
a spectators standpoint. 1t was fast
and snappy all the way through and
was enacted in the brief space of one
hour and twenty-five minutes. There
was not one hitch in the entire per-
Torrance and if a few more games of
this character can be executed on the
local diamond the fans Will be de-
lighted. AS it is they are pleased
with the team, the new management
and everything connected with the
ball team.
Umpire Shuster who was sched-
uled to work, failed to get here and it
was necessary to resort to the time
honored and disappointing admin
istration of player umpiring. But
yesterdays performance was an ex-
ception to the general rule. There
probably never was time when bet
ter unDiring was done on the local
diamond than was pulled off by the
PLAYERS yesterday. Not a single dis
puted decision was made and the eyes
of the urnpires were almost perfect on
halls and strikes. BuntOn offlciated

handled all of them Clearly, one OF
which was of somewhat spectac ular
| order. AT the bat he did not get
| away so good but was lucky enough to
hit into an error which netted a run
in the first inning: Every time he
came to bat he was given an ovation
by the fans. so
The visitors were the first to pass
over the plate. In the first inning
after Pettigrew had popped UP a high
one which Raglan nailed after a long
run into left field, Atty Wilson hit be-
tween center and right for two bases
and when Andrews singled Wilson
trotted across the plate.
The fans in the grandstand did not
have long to worry, however, as the
business was started right at the crack
of Red Davis bat in the first inning.
Davis put one out into left field for
two bases, padding his own average.
and went to third on Olson's sacrifice.
Landreth hit one to Andrews but the
cheerful doctor made a poor throw to
first and Davis scored.
The game stood tied up tight until
the last half of the fourth when our
boys got next to Fleharty for three
hits. After Runkel went out on a
grounder to link, Raglan slid into first,
beating out an infield hit Siekmeyer
hit into a f1elder's choice, catching
Raglan at second. Halla won the
game right at that time with a timely
diamond on which Siekmeyer scored.
Davis padded his own average with a
hit and Hal1a scored. Davis hit was
almost caught by Pettigrew right off
the shoe laces but Petty had to reach
too far and could hardly hold it. Red
tried for second but was caught on a
nice throw by Eddie Noyes.
Tomorrow's game will be the last
time this season the locals can see
their old time favorite. Jay Andrews,
hiG tao off "a
game. Arnold. who is pitching swell
ball of late, will have his turn and it
will probably fall to Barbour to work
for Hutchinson. Barbour beat To-
peka the last time he tried It, All
the fans will be there.
The glad tidings of yesterday re-
duced to figures:
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-08-24

several kinds of transportation service
to which the gasoline cars are particu-
larly well adapted and to which they
are almost a necessity; many steam
passenger trains are being operated at a
financial loss, yet the passenger service
must be maintained. To meet those de-
mands it seems necessary, in the pres
ent advance of civilization. that gasoline
motor cars be designed for use on steam
railroads.
The action of the Union Pacific in
placing the motor cars on the L. K. &
w. in the light of the opinions ad-
vanced by their expert engineer, NC
Keen, appears to be move of retrench-
ment. The public gains nothing in the
way of increased service so far as the
present plans of the company would IN
dictate. The cars themselves are no
doubt more cIeanIy. airy and pleasant
but the number of trains and the scheo-
ule time remain the same. There is,
however, the possibility that the service
may be increased inasmuch as an IN
crease in service would not entail the
expenditure by the company under the
motor car system that would be re-
quired by an increase in the steam
train equipment. The revenue derived
from mail contracts covers a large part
of the expense of maintaining the motor
car runs now in operation.

FRISCO TAKES OVER LINE.
Identity of @. S.. n. o. and p. Has
Been Lost. Practically.


The ratification of a long term lease to
The Frisco system by the stockholders of
the Colorado Southern New Orleans and
Pacific, by the terms of which the road
practically loses it's identity. is formal
transfer of all the projects promoted by
the builders and provided for when the
line was first conceived. 1t gives the
Frisco 500 miles of road already COM
plotted and in first class condition.
The main line of the road runs from
New Orleans to Houston, Tex, and it is
expected the Frisco will be operating
trains between Denver and the Crescent
city by January 1 xnext, which will
place strong competitor for the South
ern Pacific in the field 1t is probable
| a joint trackage agreement will be en-
| tered into with the Yazoo and Missis-
| Sippi Valley between New Orleans and
Baton Rouge, and that portion of the
/. line double tracked in Order to meet the
requirements OF the added service.
Having almost a straight line, it is the
intention of the Frisco to establish a
passenger service between Houston and
New Orleans on a forty-five mile an
hour schedule. making the run in less
than twelve hours. The entire line is
practically without grades, three-tentns
of 1 xper cent being the maximum, or
about fifteen feet in a mile. Curves do
not exceed per cent.
That it is the intention to double track
the road is evidenced by the fact that
sidings one mile long are provided at
intervals of five miles for the entire dis
lance. The equipment for the road is
already on the ground. The passenger
coaches are said to be of the latest pat
tern.
The Rock Island management has ac-
quired right of way and some completed
road between Mobile and Meridian.
Miss, it being the intention to build a
line to the Ohio river to connect with
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois. 1t is
said right of way has been secured into
New Orleans, which will give the Rock
Island a through route from Chicago in
competition with the Illinois Central.

CAR EFFICIENCY BUREAU.
More Than $50 Roads Are Now Re-
porting to 1t

Chicago. Aug. 24-More than $50 roads
are now reporting to the car efficiency
bureau and car clearing house. estab-
lished by the American Railway asso-
citation and approved by Commissioner
Lane of the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Besides securing reports of car move
ment from all roads, the management
hopes ultimately to develop the per
diem branch so that 1t will collect and
distribute full statistics for every road i,
collect the per diem and become a uni
versal freight equipment pool. To do
all this would cost less than SO per
cent more than is now expended.
OF the 1000 railroads on the contin-
ent, those in the clearing house own
between 600, 900 and 700,000 cars, which
average nearly four interchanges a
month.

TO PREVENT COAL SHORTAGE.
Northern Pacific Trying to Avert One
in the Northwest.

Chicago, Aug. 2-Howard Elliott.
president of the Northern Pacific. is
making strenuous efforts to prevent a
recurrence of the coal shortage which
caused so much trouble in the North
west last winter. He has written to
the interstate commerce commission
urging them to ask the government to
buy all its coal supply for the Indian
schools, army posts and other institu-
tions, early in the season. This appeal
is said to have met with a prompt re-
Spouse. More coal has been taken into
the North west during the past two
months than was ever taken there be-
fore in corresponding months.

Catcher Mike Erwin received a long
distance call from Cooley at ST. Paul
last night telling him that he was
needed at Detroit and that he was
wanted at once. Erwin will probably
leave today. Every catcher Detroit
has is on the injured list. Just who
will take Erwin's place is not known,
but it will likely be one of the Spring
field catchers. Seabaugh- could have
been signed a few days ago, but it was
not thought that he would be needed.
Springfield has now three catchers and
Topeka can probably get one of them
to help out on for the rest of the sea-
son.
Wooley has been suspended by the
Topeka management. Woo1ey is now
at his home in Newcastle. Pa, where
he went after the last pay day, saying
that his brother was sick. Wooley had
a bad case of inconsistencies ana mad
