can partake. The feasting and rejoic-
ing are kept up for days.
On the fifteenth day of the first moon
the emperor of China goes in great
state to a certain field, accompanied
by the chief officers of his household,
and prostrates himself, touching the
ground nine times with his head in
honor of the god Tien, and pronounces
prayer invoking the blessing of the
great being. Then as high priest of
the empire he sacrifices a bullock to
heaven as the fountain of all good.
While the victim is being offered a
pillow drawn by pair of highly orna-
mented oxen is brought to the emper-
or, who throws aside his imperial robe,
lays hold of the pillow handles and
opens several burrows. The principal
mandarins follow his example, and the
festival, which is really a species of
thanks in advance for good harvests,
ends with a distribution of clothes and
money to the poor.

and embarrassing query, when, to my
great relief, further confidential con-

The next night I visited the club

preached old Mr.. Sinclair l heard DR..
Barry saying to the little group as

He was right. Old Sinclair had

then died-as she had died-of heart

His question was answered without

The Second Game.

The reason that the second game
goes in the lost column was Mr.. James
Scott, who will bring the Wichita
magnates $4,000 in cold cash this fall.
Scott worked Saturday and won from
the locals and he was in Just as good
form Sunday. But four hits went to
the locals and these did not come close
enough together to crystalline into
runs.
Hagerman's one bad inning opened
the game. Hurlburt squeezed a slow.
one through the infield and the old,
Spav went to third when Hetling hit
safe to right field. Pennell. the best
pinch hitter of the Jobbers hit to left
and the old Spav scored. This was all
but it won the game.
Topeka tried hard to cross the plate
in the seventh. Abbott beat out slow
one and went to second on Andrews
sacrifice. Brennan's infield out put
Abbott on third. With Emory Olson
at bat, Abbott tried to steal home, but
cision.
The second game was without spec
ial features, although Cole and Wooley
gave good accounts of themselves in
the outfield and made several difficult
catches.
Tomorrow the locals will battle with
Enid, and ii will be the Leaders
against the Tailenders. The Enid team
has captured one game out of every
series thus far this season, and in this
the last series. the locals will make a
strong and determined effort to play
a freeze-out game on Frantz's tribe.
Tomorrow will also be ladies' day.
The score of the second game:

Saturdays Game.

1t isn't very often that a team can
make one hit in nine innings and then
win a game by one score, but that is
just what the Wichita Jobbers did in
Saturdays contest. This lone hit I'M
fortunately came with men on bases
and was grouped with an error and
two passes.
For the first time in his life Rip
found trouble in finding where the
plate was located. The first two men
UP walked. The next man received
life on Abbott's slow throw to third to
head off a runner. The bases were
filled when Pennell singled scoring two
runs. This left a man on third who
scored when Andrews booted one.
The Jobbers worked another around
in the third without once hitting the
ball. This seemed too much to Cool
ey and Hagerman was yanked for he
was unsteady. Root was substituted
and the big soldier boy held the job
bers safe all the rest OF the way.
Scott's pitching for the Jobbers was
effective all the way through and only
once were the locals able to score on
him.

GOTCH GROWING RICH.
The Earnings of the Big Wrestler Will
Be $4,000 This Season.

Chicago, Aug. s22.-Wrestling is not
the only thing Frank Gotch can do.
He can save money. 1t is estimated
that Gotch has $4,000 slowed away
in land, and when he has added to this
his summers earnings on the vaude-
vile circuit at $1,000 per week he will
easily have 100000 to his credit. In
his match with Rowler at Seattle he
cleaned up $4,000, and this is one of
the biggest hauls he ever made.
Nine years ago Frank Gotch was
living with his parents, Fred and
Amelia Gotch. on their modest little
farm at the forks of the Des Moines
river in Humboldt county. At that
time he was a poor boy of poor par
ents and unknown beyond his i'm
mediate farmer neighborhood. He
had, however, done little amateur
wrestling. z.--~ p
About this time it happened that
Farmer" Burns was advertised to
give wrestling exhibition in Fort
Dodge. Frank heard of this and con-
vited anybody in the audience to come
forward and be thrown in fifteen min
utes. Frank had been hard at work
all that day with a threshing machine
at the farm, but just a see what show
he would have with a professional he
went forward in response to the in
vitation. He was not thrown. Burns,
after the exhibition, had a talk with
Gotch in which he took occasion to
say that he was the best amateur
wrestler that he had ever had hold of,
and if he would let him give him some
training he thought good professional
timber would be developed.
From that time dates Frank Gotch's
career is wrestler. Last year his
earnings were $4,000 and this year
they will be $4,000.
About the first thing he did with
the accommodations of his professional
work was to pay off the mortgage COW
ering the farm Of the old folks. He
has since made investments in real
estate. Among his present holdings
are a section of wheat land in
Canada and some city property in
Seattle. He carries a balance of some
$4,000 in the banks of Humboldt.
His savings at the present time aggre-
gate $4,000 and possibly $4,000.
About three-fourths of this is in
vested in real estate which is rapidly
enhancing in value. This sum might
easily have been larger, but Frank is
a very generous. large hearted fell
low and spends money freely, both for
himself and his friends. He takes
especial delight in showing his old
father and mother a good time, fur
nishing them comforts and smoothing
the days of their old age.

improve he will have but one recourse
print the names Of those baseball
fans who are able to give and who
haven't, and set opposite their names
the amount they should subscribe.
Watch out
The trouble with Umpire Burke, ac-
cording to the Oklahoma News, is the
fact that he watches the women In the
grandstand too much.
Hagerman probably made a new
strikeout record for the Western asso-
citation in the double header of Sum
day. Six times UP Rip went to the
plate and each time traced his steps
back to the bench after tanning.
The Wichita team is badly shattered
by internal dissensions. Holland Is
generally disliked by all the players
and all were well pleased when he
left. Rumors from Wichita say that
Holland is in bad with the fans down
there. hence the great falling of in
patronage. The Wichita papers are
printing the vaguest sort of rumors
of a change in the ownership of the
team.
Tom Doran, the battered catcher Of
the whole team. With the exception
of his hitting, the work of the Wichita
team was built around him Just as il
was around Buck Weaver last season.
AS soon as Doran Joined the Jobbers,
winning streak of fifteen games was
pulled off, mainly through the work
OF Doran.
Joplin Globe: Something must be
wrong with Cobb and Warmer. This
pair was fairly burning up the league
a few weeks ago. Now they do we'll
to bingle once each day Maybe they
are resting on past honors.
The Joplin team has signed Chen
ault, who comes highly touted as q
leading minor league pitcher. Some
thing must be the matter however, as
Chenault failed to stick in the vir-
ginia state league, lower class league
than this.
There Is good deal of question
over the eligibility of Pettigrew to
play with Wichita. Cooley may pro-
test the games on this account. UNI
pire Setley says he has good reason
to believe the deal was underhanded
and told Shively the same over long
distance phone Saturday. what diff
ference does II make to you and I,
whether Pettigrew plays with Wichita
or not" was Shively's reply. Petit
grew still has a fine to pay before he
Is eligible, but Shively told Setley not
to collect during the present series.

was very good. Jack Atkin and King
James went out to make the pace and
opened up a lead of four lengths in the
first quarter, with the rest of the field
we'll punched behind. Jack Atkin, with
a wonderful flight of speed, outran
King James in the run down the back
stretch and was leading by one length
at the far turn, but here Pinkola be-
gan to move up and at the turn into
the stretch ran in front by head. 1t
was now a terrific drive and Pinkola,
standing it gamely, won by one and a
half length. Frank Gill beat King
James length for second place.
