K Two hundred fans OF Topeka were
badly disappointed at the final result
OF the Topeka-Denver game at Denver,
the State Journal window. Through an
error in the telegraph service furnished
the State Journal by the Western I'm
ion Topeka was given runs in the
fourth inning, when the correct score
for this inning was no runs. The fault
was entirely with the telegraph COM
pany- Once before the Western Union
reported an erroneous score of 10 runs
for Topeka in game at Des Moines,
when there were no runs scored. The
state journal regrets that the errone-
Gus information reached the bulletin
board, but the fault was not ours. The
matter mas been taken up with the
different telegraph companies and no
further complications are expected. The
State Journal will at all times endeavor
to give the fans all information about
the game, through the medium of the
bulletin window and the special tele-
phone service.
