me Topeka White Sox yesterday af-
ternoon defeated the ST Paul Yanni-
gans in somewhat slow game by a
score of to 2. However the score does
not give a true idea of the merits Of
the opposing teams as the White Sox
outplayed their rivals at every stage of
the game, and ST. Paul never had a
look in at the money The Yannigans
We're weak with the stick and all their
tallies were made on errors A good
sized crowd were out.
Cooley did not play and Captain Run
kel was in charge of the men for the
first time. Bert Jones, the Lincoln
southpaw was sent in to start the game
and pitched three innings, allowing but
one nit. Jack Forester, the favorite
pitcher of last season, rejoined the team
and went in at the beginning of the
dourln inning. Jack has the same old
curves only with a better noodle and
better control than last season. For
six innings he did the twirling, during
which time but one man went to first
on free transportation. He allowed only
two hits and FAM ed eight men. Neither
of the st. Paul pitchers distinguished
themselves. H.
Both teams scored in the first in
ming. Jones got tender-hearted tow
ards Myers, the first man up and walk

first on Boles' error and Myers went
to third. Henry threw to Ragan to
catch Arbogast stealing second and
Raglan threw to Henry to keep Myers
from scoring but Henry dropped the
ball The next three men were easy
outs.
The White Sox scored in the first in
ming after Landreth had gone out.
Henry knocked a three Dagger and
scored on Davis fly to center field. The
White Sox added another in the third.
After Jones had famed, Landreth sin

between second and third and was tag
ged out by Fourpagel. This was the
funniest incident of the day. Several
times the ball was about to be applied
to Landreth by the Yannigan men, but
each time Landreth would fall down
and slip by the fielder. However he
was finally caught by the third base
man with his uniform full Of dust.
Meantime Henry had reached second.
Davis hit safe and Henry trotted home.
The last run for the locals came in
the sixth inning. Davis took one in the
ribs and was sacrificed to second by

but was caught trying. toopurloin home.
The visitors got their second Fun'9in

The feature of the game was the play
ing Of Raglan at shoRt1 I'm the second
inning with one MAN out and Rode

hit he darted back into left field and
with one hand pulled down an eappaF-

caught Rodebaugh before the latter
could return to first In the eighth he
stopped a hot one which Arbogast. sent
past Forester with a full head of
steam on and caught the D st. Paul
catcher before The could get5to first.
The batting of Henry played a great
part in the game. His three Dagger
was responsible for a run as was his
fielder's choice in the third. He got
two hits out of three times up. The
work of the local pitchers was good.
