Topeka. Kans., March 29,-Washington
won a frost-bitten game from Topeka
here to-day by score of Z to 5. II was
a chilly affair all the way, with biting
wind that made s sweater and overcoat
combination feel like a seersucker coat at
Atlantic City in a gale
Manager Cantillon threatened to fine
any Washington pitcher a months pay
II he cut loose. and Manager Cooley gave
the same instructions 10 his henchmen.
Nothing but straight balls. without
speed. were served. and the batters re-
fused TO avail themselves Of this oppor-
tunity to the limit. as every time they
hit the ball their hands stung Ike they
had been touched by the business end Of
r sea-nettle.
Nationals a Mixture.
The team was a mixture OF Yannigans
and regulars. CantiIlon sent Tannehill
CIymer. Unglaub. Blankenship. Milan.
Smith. and ConrOy TO Kansas City. with
the other Yannigans this afternoon, and
retained Bill Rapp. Hughes. Kelley,
Shipke. Pickering, and Jim Johnson for
the games here to-day and tomorrow,
Shipke Ganley. Hughes. and Pickering
are old Western Leaguers, who should
make a hit with the Omaha fans and

adjustment OF the teams. Trainer Jerry
Eddinger also remained with the Cantil-
Ion bunch
Keeley. Hughes. and Johnson were on
the slab for three innings each to-day,

No More Gray Hair

II Is easier to preserve the color OF
the hair than to restore 1t. although Il
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made and used sage tea" and their
dark. glossy hair long after middle
life was due to this fact. Our mothers
have gray hairs before they are nifty,
but they are beginning to appreciate
the WISDOM of our grandmothers in
using sage tea for their hair. and
are fast GLOWING suit. The present
generation has the advantage OF the
past in that 1t can get ready to use
preparation called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur. a. scalp tonic and color
rcstorer. this preparation is vastly
superior to the ordinary sage tea
made by our grandmothers, and It can
be bought for so cents and 81 q bottle
