Topeka CITY LEAGUE SCHEDULE, 1908

Boles proved a pinch hitter by putting
the Spalding over Fillman's head for
two bases.
1t was not until the eighth inning
that the visitors put on the least semb-
lance of dangerous 'contenders for the
plume of victory In the round Craig
started off to the bad by walking Beck
enbaugh. But even this generosity
looked harmless after Wanner had
famed and Fillman had gone out via
the Craig-Cooley circuit. But Sylves-
ter Olson, the former Topeka short
stop had not been disposed of and
the way he met the ball was some
thing terrific. Three bases was all it
was good for and Beekenbaugh scored
and Olson nestled on third base wait
ing for help. Reed was unable to rem
der any assistance in his fly to left
field as Wooley had taken care of it
and Olson died on third.
There were a few features to yes
terday's game in the fielding of Wooley.
In the first inning he pulled off a great
catch from which Fillman suffered.
Johnny had poked a Texas Lacquer
over the infield and Wooley after a
fast spring intercepted the ball a few
inches above the ground and then fell
over and rolled few times before he
was able to retain his usual erect at
utude. 1t was a rare stunt and Wooley
received prolonged applause. Four 9TH
er flies were consumed by Lige during
the afternoon and none of them were
particularly easy.

mediately frightened up a little bit and
the game went in the lost column for
Fillman's aggregation of invaders.
The Topeka team is certainly going
some at the present time. Cooley has
a team that is sure to land either at
or near the top, although during the
opening series with Webb City it
looked pretty dubious for the locals.
Topeka seems to improve in every
game and the most conservative are
now prophesying that Topeka will lead
the procession of pennant chasers be-
fore the first of June.

telling the result of the afternoon
battle. 1t was a pretty game all the

game in the first two innings and had
the upper hand during the entire af-
fray so that the game lacked somewhat
of interest. Incidentally the Topeka

the local bunch will repose among the

HISTORY OF CONFEDERATE
 FLAGS IS MADE CLEAR
General Lee Issues as order FuIl of
 Information.


 Dr. Thomas M. Owen. Director of the State Department of Archives and His tory and Commander-in-Chief of the United Sons of Confederate Veterans, received yesterday copy of general orders No. 56, issued by Gen. stephen D. Lee. Commander r-in-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans, contain ing a full documentary history of the several flags of the Confederate States of America.
 The copies of the order are being dis tributed by Adjutant-General William E. Mickle of the United Confederate Veterans. The chief value of these flag sketches Hes in the fact that it is the first time they have been compiled and that the details have been gathered with con- siderable accuracy.
 Some months ago a special commit. tee, of which pr. Samuel E. Lewis of Washington, D. C., Is chairman, was appointed to make an investigation and report to the United Confederate Vete- rams on the Confederate statutes, re- ports and official documents dealing with the flags of the Confederacy. This examination was made exhaustively and when completed 1t was contained in report submitted not long ago by Dr. Lewis to the headquarters of the organization. The order mentioned is an abridgement of this report of Dr. Lewis. The-names of various flags of the Confederacy which are described in l General Order No. S5, are as follows: Stars and Bars. Battle Flag. First Sov- ! ereignty Flag, Second Sovereignty l Flag. and several in use by the navy. | The cover consists of cuts in color of the flags. Copies of the order can be had by applying through the malls to General Mickle in New Orleans at his official address. by the payment of 25 cents.
