tie Thursdays Contest.
Pitchers Battle in Which
Fleharty Proved Best.
PACKERS WON 2 TO 1.
Topeka Complained of a Close
Decision at First Base.
Pettigrew and Raglan Carried
Off the Fielding HOnOrs.

Hutchinson, Kan, June 28-In a
pitchers battle yesterday afternoon on
the local diamond, Fleharty bested Ar
mold in 16 inning contest and Hutch
inson won by a margin of one run in
the sixteenth inning. 1t was the pretti-
est game ever played in Hutchinson
and some of the best fielding stunts
seen here in the history of the town
We're pulled off.
Up until the sixteenth inning Arnold
allowed only four hits, which were Sc
cured by Pettigrew and which counted
but one in the score, although two or
them We're two baggers. Arnold was
not as steady as Fleharty and allowed
more passes on balls, one of which was
responsible for the first run of the
Hutchinson team. Fleharty struck out
II men during the 16 innings.
The visiting team secured their nrSt
and only run in the sixth inning. Law
Ter singled and went to second on Hal
las infieId out. Abbott hit safe and
Lawler went to third. A grounder by
Davis was enough to score LAWYER.
Hutchinson probably would not have
scored had it not been for Arnold walk
ing Noyes in the sixth. NoyeS trotted
home when Pettigrew secured the nrst
hit off Arnold which went for a two
sacker.
After the sixth inning the game was
sensational and hair raising plays were
pulled off every inning which succeed
ed in prolonging the game. In the SIX
teenth after two men had been retired
link and Lewis singled in succession,
Johnson hit and Abbott dropped RAJ
gan's throw filling the bases. It was
then a case of the proverbial ~"Casey
at the Bat'' Casey hit a hot lone to
Abbott which caromed off his shoulders,
but Olson fielded the ball to Arnold
who covered the bag. However, umpire
Verschure said the batter was safe and
the game was won. The Topeka team
objected strenuously to the decision ana
had a right to as it looked to them as
though Casey was out. link scored
the winning run on the decision:
Pettigrew and Raglan by their sensa-.
tional fielding kept down the number OF
hits. Abbott acted as captain of the
visiting team as Captain Hurfburt fall

and did not get to Hutchinson IN time
for the game.

THEY STRIVE TO PLEASE.
Railroads Prompt in Meeting Com
81 plants on Rates.

Anxiety on the part of the railroads
to save the interstate commerce COM
mission bother seems to be paramount
at the present time. In many cases
where complaint has been made to
the commission on the part of shippers
that certain rates are unreasOna bly,
high, the roads have fastened to lower
them without putting the commission
to the trouble of a hearing. =
The last case of this kind that has
occurred is in connection with the
shipments of oil from Kansas and In
dian Territory wells to Texas points,
A complaint was filed with the COM
mission by the Amarillo Gas company
of Amarillo, Texas. The rates ranged
from SO to 40 cents on 100 pounds.
The allegation was made that these
shipping points in Kansas and Indian
Territory were Disseminated against in
favor of Beaumont. Before any hear
ing could be had the roads put into
effect a rate of 10 cents per 100
pounds. This satisfied the complain
ants and they at once dismissed their
case.

RAILROAD NEWS.
=
Central Roads Quit Their War
on Two Cent Fare.
Eastern Lines Follow Lead OF
Those in the West.
PEACE FOR A TIME.
And a Permanent Reduced Rate
Seems Inevitable.
Other Items of Interest to
Railway People.

At a special meeting held yesterday
of the Central Passenger association,
embracing all the railroads running east
from Chicago and st. Louis, it was
agreed TO follow the same policy as the
western roads and to make nozfight in
the courts now against the cent fare,
law of Illinois, Indiana. and Ohio.
While it is possible that after main
tanning rates for several months on
basis of 2 cents per mile some of the.
roads will go into court and try to
have the law declared invalid because
it enforces an -unreasonably low and
Improbable rate on the railroads, the
opinion which is generally held, If not
loudly voiced, in local railway circles
is that both state and interstate pas
senger rates throughout the country
must be reduced to a basis of cents
per mile, and that it will be impossi-
BILE to advance it after IL has been IN
effect for any length of time.
When the cent fare laws were first
passed the railroads declared they
would never be enforced because the
roads would unite to fight them In the
courts and the laws would be declared
Unconstitutional. Instead of uniting to
fight the Ohio law the roads drifted
apart, and on the date that the law
went into effect all the roads reduced
their rates to 2 cents per mile for all
trips within the state. They loudly
declared that while they were forced to
reduce interstate rates Jley NOutQ con-
tinue to charge 8 cents per mile for all
interstate trips involving Ohio, but one
by one the roads reduced interstate
rates to various points to the basis of
2 cents per mile in Ohio.
The same things happened after In
diana passed a cent fare law. Yes
terday's meeting of the eastern roads
demonstrated that they will pursue the
same policy regarding the Illinois law,
which goes into effect July 1. In addi-
ton to agreeing to reduce rates for in
terstate trips on that date to cents
per mile. the Alton, Eastern Illinois,
and Illinois Central roads announced
that they would reduce the rates be-
tween St. Louis and points in Illinois,
Indiana. and Ohio to a basis of cents
per mile. plus % cents for toll on the
bridge over the Mississippi river. This
will make the rate from Chicago to st.
Louis $3.50 on and after July 1, re-
duction Of $40 from the present rate.
AS the railroads in Missouri have
agreed to reduce their rates in that
state TO 2 cents per mile for several
months, they will be forced because of
the reduction in rates from the eastern
states to St. Louis, to reduce the rates
to Kansas City to a basis of cents
mile. This in turn will force down the
interstate rates to Omaha and other
Missouri river gateways, and so the 2
cent basis will spread from point to
point until it extends from the Atlantic
to the Pacific.

DECISION OF IMPORTANCE.
Over an Involved Question of Rates in
South Dakota.

A decision of some Importance has
been rendered by Judge Garland of the
United States court at Sioux Falls, S.
D., in connection with the freight rate
war between Sioux City, Iowa, and
Sioux Falls. Judge Garland overruled
demurrer filed by the St. Paul Railroad
company in the case instituted by Jew
EFT Brothers e. Jewett in behalf of the
Sioux Falls jobbers.-
By the suit the jobbers sought to pre-
vent the railroad company from putting
into effect on June 81 the old freight
tariff between Chicago and Milwaukee
to Sioux City and Sioux Falls, which
would raise the present rate to Sioux
Falls to an average of 104 per cent of
the rate from Chicago and Milwaukee
to Sioux City, ssfs s.s - / 81 ~.
The demurrer was based on the
ground that the federal court was with-
cut jurisdiction and that the question
involved could only be determined by
the interstate commerce commission.
Judge Garland also filed an order to
show cause, embodying a restraining
order prayed for in the original COM
plant of the Sioux Falls jobbers. This
provides that pending the hearing on
the main case the railroad company
must show cause July why it could
not be restrained from putting the old
rate into effect.

OKLAHOMA COMPLAINS.
Charges Railroads With Having Excess
sive Rates on Several Things.

Washington. June 2S.-Attorney Gen
with the interstate commerce commits
sion complaints against the Santa Fe
Burlington and other railroads alleging
that they charge unjust rates on wheat
from Oklahoma points to Kansas City:
excessive rates on coal from Kansas and
Colorado points to points in Oklahoma;
excessive rates on grain from Ponca
City. Ok, to outside points; unjust
rates on live stock from Oklahoma
points to FIT. Worth, Tex; excessive and
unreasonable rates on petroleum and
its products from Kansas to Oklahoma
and excessive and unreasonable rates
on yellow pine from points in Texas
Louisiana and Arkansas and Mississippi
to points in Oklahoma.
The commission is asked to adjust
proper and reasonable rates and to or
der the defendants to conform to the

Jake Bauer. the old Sedalia out
fielder, has been released by Sioux

part of the season and is playing
poor game in the field. However, he
is still a good enough player and will
doubtless catch on with some team.

Topeka year ago, has had his
troubles this season. He was recently
suspended by the president of the
Ohio and Pennsylvania league.
: SITS, last year second baseman with
the Springfield team, is having his
troubles with Seattle in the Pacific
Coast league He is not playing a
good game in the field and gets a
bobble or two every day. At the bat
he is batting about as good as Cy
Young. Dugdale, the old National
Lacquer, is captain of the Seattle team.
Bob Kahl last year with Leaven-
worth, who broke his shoulder blade
early in the spring, is in the game
again with the Evansville team in the
Central league and is holding his old
dent this spring, Kahl is playing good
ball.

TO BOOST FREIGHT RATES.
Increase of Five Per Cent for Middle
West Decided On.

Chicago, June 2S.-Freight rates in
the territory between the Mississippi
river and the Rocky Mountains will be
advanced 5 per cent by the action of
the western railways in raising the
minimums on carload shipments and
other changes in the classification.
1t has not yet been determined to
cancel many of the carload commodity
tariffs. though few of those whose
usefulness has passed will be cancelled
and the commodity rated according to
classification. 1t is the intention to can
eel all less than carload commodity
rates but as they were made to meet
special conditions the shippers general
ly have not made any specific COM
plant.
The new western freight classification
will become effective September /,
1907.

IN a oUANDARY OVER PASSES.
Western Executives Hardly Know Who
They Can Issue Them To.

Chicago, June 2S.-Railroads in the
west are in a quandary as to whom
they may issue free transportation
without coming in contact with some
la VS. passed by the several states regu-
lating free transportation, a minister
may travel in one state free and in an
other must pay full fare, whereas, I'M
travel through both states on a pass.
After considering the proposition
from all standpoints. the executives of
the western railroads have called on
the legal departments for copies of all
state laws and the interstate law and
will promulgate instructions based on
the best in all the laws governing free
transportation.
