Deen plLcnlHS IoT the HOrIlduO, OTeSoh
team.
Pearl Murray got a single in last
Saturdays game against the Topeka
team, and it was his first hit in eight
games.
Some few remarks handed the To-
peka players by the Joplin Globe: APP
parently Topeka has the pennant
clinched. AS far as interference from
Joplin is concerned it has. Possibly
Wichita will pull the Cooleyites down
when the two teams clash for the final
series. Hagerman looks worth
that $4,000 all right. Chance will de-
velop the tall lad into a wonderful
pitcher for he has every requisite of a
winner. The fielding of Emory
Olson was sensational yesterday. And
the young Swede certainly stung the
ball, too. His drives were bullet like
and the first went through Fillman
with the speed of a cannon shot. An
other one almost took Fillman off his
feet.
Wichita Beacon: Umpire Setley was
to have gone to Webb City tonight to
umpire the Joplin-Webb City series of
games. He has received word from
President Shively, however. assigning
him to the Wichita Hutchinson games,
both in this city and in Hutchinson. He
has impressed the Wichita baseball
public as being far and away the best
umpire in -She league. He stands for nc
back talk but is not bulldozing and
aggravating as Shuster is.
Hutchinson News: The new men or
the team are growing more and more
in the favor of the fans. All of them
are well liked. The new kid pitchers
have never been kicked on and at least
| two should be worth keeping for next
year. Fleming fields fast, is hitting
| good and is a good base runner. Thrail-
| kill is covering some ground in the
| right garden and is also a runner
Kahl is working finely with Olson in
| getting about everything that comes
| that way and gets some good hits too

EXIT THE BLOWER
Famous Boarding House to
Close June /.
Has Been in Operation for %
Years.
TWO STAR BOARDERS.
Ralph Peterson and Mrs. Nc.
ClintOck Hold That Honor.
Have Lived There Ever Since
House Was Opened.

The Blower House, located on the
corner of Eighth avenue and Quincy
street, will be closed on the first day
of June despite the pleadings and pro-
tests of a score or more of boarders
who have lived there for from 10 to Is
years. This is the decision of Mrs.
Annie Blower Patton who opened the
famous hosiery in 1880 and has owned
and operated it since that time.
When Mrs. Patton opened the house
ing house than a hotel she was Miss
Annie Blower and for that reason the
place became known as the Blower
House. AS the Blower House, it is
known throughout the state to thou
sands of citizens who have had occa-
sions to spend a week or more in To-
peka, and it's reputation extends far
beyond the boundaries of Kansas.
The old part of the building which
fronts on Eighth avenue was erected
in 1880 and the annex eight years la
ter on account of the demand which
was made by Topekans for rooms and
board. The Blower House was pri-
marily a boarding house as the room
sers were limited to the members OF
the family or intimate friends, but the
demand for rooms was SO great that
the annex was built for the accommo-
datiOn of those who wished to live at
the house where they took their meals.
There are a number OF patrons OF
Blower as boarders for nearly quar-
ter of century but the title of star
boarder'' belongs to Ralph Peterson
or Mrs. o. N. McClintock who have
lived at the Blower House continually
since it was opened, % years ago.
There never was a time since the
house has been in existence that its
fame as a hosiery has not been herald
ed throughout the city, and prospec-
tive boarders were not turned away
for want of Accommodations. From 20
to 100 people have taken their noon
day meal at the Blower House for years
and the list of regular boarders has
run from rs to 85 with a line of others
who waited for a vacancy to occur so
that they could become "a regular"
at the Blower House.

Patton, flor it is like separating big

There were other good fielding stunts on the part of the All Stars, but the Grays booted sever al and McNulty dropped three fly balls in right, much to the surprise of those who have seen him play before.
 Another reason why it was a creater of sensation, was due to the opener when Hull, with a sore arm and not in condition. offered the candy to the Mountaineers. Two bases on balls, two singles and a three bagger netted four tallies and Phoenix hope was a faint and glimmering star. Williams was substituted in the next inning and held the Grays to three lone bingles the rest of the game. though he gave two bases on balls in the sixth, which ciupled with two of the hits, sent in three runs.

Prescott was tame in the third, Mitchell whiffed, Nelson went down Williams to Cisney, and Hudson flied to Warner.
 In the third the color of things be- gan to brighten up. Cisney opened the gate with a single to center, Warner hit to pitcher who tossed to second for double play. but huff made a mess of it. Mitchell singled and the bases were loaded; Magoffin got a ticket and Cisney was forced home. Warner scored on a passed strike, and Scott sent home Mitchell with a crack to left.

 The fourth inning was productive of no runs. but there was the big double killing which set the grandstand to yelling like mad. McNulty was safe on a grounder to short, Thomas struck out, Burgett drove the ball squarely across second sack, Scott after a sprint grabbing it with one hand. Warner was on the bag and McNulty was cut off by a yard and the ball went to Cisney in time to put out the batter. That was quick and clean. Two All Stars reached bases in the last half but did not score. Cisney went out and Warner smote a good one to center, Mitchell followed with one to left.

 In the seventh Prescott was a pud- ding. Wolf flied to Mitchell who was always Johnnie on the Spot, Redman walked, Mitchell smOte vainly and Wilson ought to have known better than to knock it to Mitchell after what had happened to the rest of the hOists in his garden The eighth Phoenix was retired in Merry Widow style, Tebben dying at first, Williams saw ing. and Cisney grOundered to first.
