Joplin, Mo-, June 26.-The pitching Of
Hagerman was entirely too much for
the locals yesterday and Topeka took
the last game OF the series by score
of to /. The locals were apowerless
before the delivery Of Topekas young
twirler and from the way the Cooley
sox took to Shaner at the start it was
evident that the visitors would come off
first best.
Wooley drew a walk for a starter and
took second on E. Olson's sacrifice
Landreth pasted the horsehide for three
bases, scoring Wooley and crossing the
rubber himself few moments later on
a passed ball. In the third Topeka ad-
ded another. Davis drew q walk and
Shaner chased him the rest of the way
around by q bad throw to first. Cooley s
players got busy again in the seventh.
With one out Hagerman singled and
scored on Wooley's triple. Emory Olson
flew out to Corkhill and Wooley scored.
In the eighth 8. Olson got life on a
fielder's choice, went to third on Boles'
single and scored on Harrington's pass
ed ball. The last for the visitors came
in the ninth when after two men were
down Davis reached first on Ragan's
error, stole second and scored on
Landreth's single.
The locals only score came in the
fifth inning. Harrington secured life
on a f1elder's choice went to second on

failed to hold Pulliam's Texas teaguer
Shaner had an OF day and was very

Adverse Sentiment in Texas Is
Changing.
People Assuming More Friendly
Attitude Towards Roads.
A PAMPHLET ISSUED.
Giving People Some Pointers on
Railway Business.
Other Items Of Interest in
Railway Circles.

Fresh evidence is coming to the front
that the people of the southern and
southwestern states are assuming a
more friendly attitude toward the rail-
roads. They have come to see that
their own prosperity is bound up large
ly with that Of the transportation lines.
AS a specimen of the change of senti-
ment the following is taken from a
publication of Austin, Texas:
Quit double-taxing the railroads we
have and more mileage will surely
come. Quit sending stock and bond

ness man who wants to initiate an en-
terprise and more activity vii prevail.
Quit chasing the jack-o- lantern of in
tangible assets to raise public money
and raise 1t on the solid physical pro-
perty of new mileage built and new
values created by the new roads in
farm lands, new towns and the up
building of old towns.

of 2-cent fares and give the actual
blessings of Scent fares at their doors

8 to 10 cent fares to ride a rickety hack

reach a railroad. Put in less worrying

cidsd to cancel all passes issued to

Transportation will cease between the
steamship companies and the western

At the conference which was held

opinion was that the commission had
exceeded its authority in ordering the
railroads to cease giving passes to rep
resentatives of steamship lines, but
that 1t would not be worth while to

Roy Arnold is certainly the hard

lost the last four games, all because
when he worked the locals had an off
day with the bat. Only two runs have
been earned for Roy during the last
four days, and how can pitcher win
