A Tunnel for the Statesmen.

For the convenience of statesmen a
tunnel has been constructed from the
capitol to the new Office building Just
completed for the members Of the
house. The house members find the
tunnel very convenient in keeping out
of the wet and also In lodging constit,
uents and newspaper men at the rare
intervals when they wish to avoid
meeting the latter. A statesman can
disappear into the capitol building and
emerge ten minutes later from the
house office building three blocks
away.
The tunnel is all nicely Illuminated
with electric lights. but walk OF
three blocks is pretty strenuous for
some of the statesmen. and they are
said to be figuring on putting n trolley
system in The tunnel.

Notes of the Game.

Those hits of KunkePs and Thoma-

scoring.

Geier, catching the red topped one by
a foot.
HaskelPs judgment yesterday showed
wonderful improvement.
CampbelPs drive to right center in the

The only double play of the game
occurred in the seventh. EdmUndson

caught him by ten feet.

Topeka Team Gains IL Points
in Batting; Ten in Fielding.
Most of the Players Have Boost
ed Averages During Week.
FENLON STILL LEADS.
Captain Geier Has CraWled
Above Coveted 300 Mark.
The Defensive Work Is Strong
est of Entire Season.

The work of the Topkea baseball
team during the past week inclusive of
Thursday s game shows big improve
ment in every department. The bat
ting of the team has sweIIed twelve
points, while the fielding of the team
has jumped ten points. The records
this week, however, contain only the
work of the sixteen players who are
now members of the team. During
the early part of the season the team
carried a lot of dead wood, whose
playing has pulled the averages for
the season down several points The
other teams over the league do not
include the work of the discards in
their records and it is showing To-
peka's team at a disadvantage to
carry them in this column.
The offensive work of the team has
increased considerably, an even dozen
points being a pretty good increase for
the week. Wright is still the nominal
leader, and says he is going to keep
up his lick for the balance of the
season and lead the league. The fans
have their doubts as to the truth of
this assertion. especially as Rasty hit
only .116 in the Shively circuit last
season. Fenlon has sIumped a point
or two, but Topeka has an additional
800 hitter in the person of Captain
Geier who has a margin of four points
over that mark One interesting fea-
=
in Spencer Arthur Abbott's percentage.
Abbott hit only .216 last week and has
gained thirty-eight points during the
week. Where, oh, where are the YER
dant knockers? Kerns is about the
same but all the fans would be in
favor of giving him twenty extra hits
for that dinky one he secured Thurs
day afternoon. Wooley has shown
considerable improvement and Hen
dirk by a few swats during the week
has jumped UP among the elite. The
others are hitting about the same.
In the fielding department the rec
ords of some of the players are slight
ly misleading. Kerns had two errors
one day at first base. These will not
count against his catching average at
the end of the season although they
are shown here. Geier has accumu-
lated most of his misplays at second
and these will not affect his official
outfelding average. One encouraging
feature is that of the regular players
everyone has an average of over $50,
which augurs well for the defensive
work of the team.
