EscoRTING THE COURT.

Official Pomp and SpIendor In Old
Colonial Times.
In colonial days York, Me-, was the
county seat to which the judges and
lawyers from New Hampshire and
Massachusetts often went. End the
court sessions were attended with
much official pomp and ceremony. In
"Old Colonial Houses In Maine" EN-
ma Huntington Mason quotes from
record left by John Adams. who as
young barrister went to York in l774
and who made at that time the follow
ing entry in his journal:
when | got to the tavern on the
eastern side Of the Piscataqua river
found the sheriff of York and six OF
his deputies. all with gold laced hats,
ruf6es, swords and very gay clothes
and all likely young men who had
come out to that place to escort the
court into town
This gives us a hint of the pomp and
splendor affected by the court officials
Of those days. when the judges wore
robes Of scarlet with large cambria

AS the judges approached the shire

cort and flourish of trumpets. Their
arrival was announced by cannon, and
the daily summons to the court before
bells were introduced was by beating

The tone was patiently persuasive
rather than authoritative, and note
Of pleading crept into it as the old
man added, 81 don't like to feel l have

"You can't!' cried the boy passion
ately. "Ill run away first" AS he
spoke he broke a piece off the rotting
rail- fence by which they were standing
and fIliped it angrily into the field Of
waving grain. Then as his father did
not Immediately answer he turned to
see the effect of his threat, but Zepha-
niah Whitcomb's thin, scanned face
was as quietly impassive as If he had
not heard.
"rn run away" reiterated the boy
doggedly.
His father ignored both the words
and the tone. '"This f1eld'll be about
ready for reapin' Monday" he remark
ed with the air of cOnnoisseur, let
ting his eyes travel slowly across the
acres of billowing rye to the dark row
Of windbreaks opposite rearing itself
against the northern sky. "And the
ten acre piece across the way is about
ripe now. There'n be considerable
thrashin', all told"
'sNot as much as last year." said the
boy meaningly. "And the weather's
been better too"
Again the father ignored him and
continued imperturbably: "Sam Curry,
from down on Beaver creek, was up
at the Corners store yesterday, and
he said helps goin' to be scarce this
season. He's sent for a couple Of his
sisters boys from down Maine. and
he's only got hundred acres under
the plow."
The boy looked his contempt. -
"Sam Curry cradles and fails" he
said, bracing himself by his elbows
against the rails. II should think he
would have to get help from down In
Maine, but some day even Maine'll
kick on cradle"
The old man pulled his hat brim
lower as he looked past his son down
the dusty road that ran westward for
q mile or more.
"Sally Marks was tellin' your ma
this mornin' there's goin' to be more
dances this harvestin' than ever be-

his thumbs under his suspenders and
spreading his feet apart. "She's get

Saturday would have saved one of
the defeats. while an even break on
balls and strikes would have won
yesterday.
Kahl hit in hard luck again yester-
day. Mag made a one handed stop
of hot grounder, which deprived
him of one hit.
Thomson did some good pitching
in the third inning yesterday. After
walking Hartman, he famed
Thompson, Olmstead and Cassidy.
Butch Kerns nearly got the best
of Olmstead. In the second inning
while Lindsay, Mag, Hartman and
Thompson were trying to run Kerns
down between third and home, Ohm
stead stood in the line while Kerns
started for the plate. The big boy
was running some, and ran right into
Olmstead knocking him over.
Olmstead was once with Boston IN
the American league. His speed
then was greater than it is now, al
though he still has plenty of it.
BY the scoring rules, Kaufman gets
credit for losing the game, While
Adams has the honor of winning 1t.
Olmstead who was virtually knocked
out of the box escapes a defeat. He
has had but three this season.
FenIon did some poor playing on
Standards long fly in the ninth in

rack back for it, finally dropping II.
Had he held on to it, the game might
have resulted differently.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-07-27

The game at the start was a very
interesting one from Topeka stand
point. Olmstead the pitching pride
of the Rockies started on the rub
Der and got his dTubbing good and
proper. Olmstead is a violin player
in the winter time and conducts an
orchestra in Escanaba, Mich, and
yesterday the Topeka players were
leaguers have failed TO do this sea-
son and were paying the fiddler in
large juicy doses, hitting him so hard
that he was forced to retire at the
end of the fifth inning after the 10
Gals had worked six runs across and
hit eight safe ones. Adams took his
place and pitched a fair game. He
was hit pretty hard but frightened up
in the pinches and kept the runs
from crossing the plate.
Looking a it from this end of the
game, the pitching of Thomson was
one of the features of the game. The
little broad-shOuldered one pitched
great game during the first few in
nings, and gave a good exhibition of
speed and curves and had fair con-
troll. In fact his curves had such a
break on them that his Empirical
majesty couldn't keep his optics
fastened on the exact course and
misjudged an unlimited number of
decisions, which served to lose the
game kaufman was substituted in
the eighth inning when Thomson
showed signs of weakening and al
Though he stemmed the tide in the
eighth he failed to show anything
in the ninth and with one run needed
to tie and two to win, Denver had
no trouble in sIamming the ball at
will TO all parts of the lot.
Olmstead allowed two hits in the
first but neither was cashed in.
However the second inning started
his downfall. Kerns led off with a
two sacker to left field and took this
on Abbott's out. DOwnie hit one to
Lindsay and while Kerns was being
chased up and down the line Downie
reached second Olmstead finally
took chips in the case and got credit
for a put out on a decidedly close
decision. Thomason hit past short
stop and Downie scored.
In the third the Topekans took
revenge on Olmstead and batted in
four runs. enough to have put the
game in cold storage with an even

Fenlon hit safe to center field. Kahl
hit a grouuder to Mag who caught

overthrow first and KunkeI scored.
Kahl stole second and Kerns walked,
Abbott hit safe, scoring Kahl. kerns
reached third on the hit and Abbott
annexed second. DOwnie hit Kerns
and Abbott home.
The last run for the Topekans came
in the fourth. Wooley walked and
took second on Geier's sacrifice,
stealing third a moment later. Kunkel
hit a long one to right center for
three bases and Wooley scored.
Denver began catching UP in the
fifth. Beldenheimer hit safe and

This filed the bases, and Adams
lifted one just beyond the reach of
Downie, which scored Beldenheimer.
After the fans would have called him
out on three groove sp1itters Cassidy
lifted a safe one to right field scoring
another. Then, it was that Kaufman
was sent in and Jones took three good
ones ending the inning.
The ninth inning was a dis
astrous affair. Standard hit a high
one to left field which Fenlon SHE'D
at and then ran after and dropped.
Standard only made two bases on it.
Lindsay laid down a bunt which was
not fielded. Then Mag doubled to
the far left corner and Standard
scored the tying run. Belden hit one
to right field and Christopher
Columbus Lindsay. formerly of De-
troit, scored the winning run. 1t was
awful.

home series will be Pueblo. Then

In the second two more scored.
Hartman and Thompson both singled
in succession and advanced on a

double to left field.
The Empirical blunders put Denver
in the running in the eighth inning.
With one down, Mag secured a
dubious walk. Belden after escaping

ones, singled. Hartman'S grOunder
forced Mag at third but Thompson
was given a walk after three good
looking ones had passed the plate.

Topeka won it again yesterday, but
the thing wouldn't stay won. The
final count favored Denver by a mar
gin of one run, while the locals ham
mered Hank Olmstead for six runs.
And it wasn't all Topeka's fault
that it was lost. Adverse umpiring
counted decisively in the story of
how it happened, and virtually won
the game. Mullen has always done
very well in Topeka, but he seemed
to have an off day yesterday, and
