ground and could not be called dead
under the conditions. Smith was sup

what was going to happen. Washburn,
however, will always contend they
should have had this touchdown, while
the Koehlerites will contend not There

football here would be a case for them

The visitors took a spitefuI brace on

ANXIOUS FOR FIGHT.
Jeffries Says johnson Never Met &
Good Fighter.

Queenstown, Oct. Is. - When
James Jeffries, the American heavy
weight who is passenger on the
steamer Lusitania bound for New
York after a period of training in a
suburb of Paris, heard of Jack John
sons victory over Stanley Ketchel at
San Francisco, he said this in no way
would affect his plans, Ketchel, he
added, was only a middleweight and
not by any means the best of the mid
dleweights-
"Ketchel," continues Jeffries, sis
trying to feed himself UP to make the
heavyweight class. but it will only
weaken him. johnson is not much of a
fighter, and he never met a good
man. His fight with Burns was no
test. Burns is a newspaper fighter. l
can only hope that johnson will cover
my money. 1 would not fight him if I
did not think / could beat him.
One of Jeffries friends, who is
travelling with him, remarked that the
fight between Jeffries and Johnson
would be a joke. Jeffries now weighs
230 pounds, and he says he will fight
at 30 or 212 pounds.

TOPEKA HIGHS WON.
Easily Defeated Ottawa in Game on
Washburn Field.

The Topeka Ottawa high school
football game resulted in a victory for
the local team the score standing IS
to as stated in the Saturday evening
special of the State Journal. The
battle was hard fought from start to
finish. The Topeka appreciation start
ed the game and sent the oval spin
ming for 40 yards into Ottawa's terri
tory, but by straight line plunges the
visitors marched down the field with
the locals apparently powerless to
block the onrush. A touchdown was
made in z minutes play. Ottawa fail
ing to kick goal.
The tables were then turned and il
was the local team that was making
line plunges for good gains. The
spectacular play of the game was
made when Royce recovered the ball
on a tumble and chased SIS yards down
the field for q touchdown with the
whole opposing team at his heels. The
fighting blood of the locals was by this
time thoroughly aroused and two
more touchdowns followed in quick
succession Van Dorp taking the pig
skin over the line in both instances
The ball was in Ottawa's territory
during the entire second half of the
contest but Topeka was unable to
score The forward pass used success
fully once by the home team, but
straight football was the general or
der of the day.

Young Tiger Holds Supremacy
in base Running.
Tyrus in His Fourth Year Pill.

New York, Oct. 1S.--Hans Wagner
and Ty Cobb, both members of pennant
inning teams, and who just engaged
in a struggle for the worlds champion
ship, have landed the batting honors
for their leagues for 1900. says the New
York World.
For the seventh time during his 13
years in the National league Hans Wag-
ner of the PittSburg Pirates leads the
batsmen OF that organization with an
average OF .341 per cent, made in 137
games Wagner took no part in the
games played by the Pirates after they
had the pennant cinched.
Tyrus Cobb of the Detroit team leads
the batsmen OF the American league for
the second time in his four years of
service, with ar. average of 1877 per
cent, which is a high mark in these
days of light hitting.
To close student of the game the
comparison of the work of Wagner and
Cobb is an interesting study. 1t shows
how the remarkable work of a young
player compares with that of the sea-
soDed star, who is considered by thou
sands of fans the greatest player the
game ever produced.
1t is in base running that Cobb has
gained on Wagner. with 81 pliers to
base runners.
The young Tiger frequently has been
accused of having a Swelled head. To
disprove this statement. in speaking of
Hans Wagner in Pittsburg the other
cay that the Flying Dutchman was the
greatest man in the game, Cobb said,
Il hope. 1 will some day be the player
Wagner is"
Following are the records of Wagner
and Cobb since they have been in the
big leagues:
