Among the many beautiful letters /
received in regard to the death of my
dear little sister, ! received the fol-
lowing from Mrs. L. C. Sadler, of
Pearl River, along with tiny bios
som to place upon my loved ones
grave.
A LITTLE WHILE
Dear friends, weep not for me,
Weep not-but smile;
I've only crossed the bar
Ahead little while.
And this, the message clear,
Would Agnes send
From yon bright world a
To each sweet friend.
My precious little babes
Mine arms enfold,
Until with me they walk /
The streets of gold.
Dear father, sisters too,
Weep not to-day:
r. My fettered soul hath found
The shattered way.
This spirit message let
our SAD hearts cneery
Tho far away | seem,
[ still am near.
For your dear Agnes sake,
Dear loved ones smile,
And say, she's gone away
A little while.
Mrs. L. Crazy Sadler.
The writer will accept my thanks
for the above beautiful lines, as they
are much the same as the last post
card received from my dear Agnes,
which contained the following verse:
THE PROMISE OF LIFE.
Yet still we sing and gather earth s
bright roses,
Walk in its gardens and forget
the rain;
Sing on, oh heart, although the tears
may glisten,
Gather 1ife's flowers, although the
rain be rife.
Earth is not all: His angels ever listen.
Heaven shall make perfect our inn
perfect life.

Local Players Fall Off Few
Points in Batting.
Recent Work However Making
Up For Decrease.
DOING SOME BETTER.
KunkeI, Henry and Kahl Have
Helped Averages.
Fielding of Team Shows No
Change This Week.

If there is anything hopeful that can
be shown from a small bunch of sta
tistics there is one little ray that beams
in the averages of the team for the
season inclusive of the past week. For
the Topeka players have been doing
some good work in both the hitting
and fielding departments of the game,
despite the number of games lost and
the number, email though it may be,
of those which have been won. At
Omaha the team didn't do much in
the way of adding anything to the av-
erages, but on the contrary all the
players slumped. But when the team
hit Des Moines there was improve
ment and the added strength of the
team in the hitting department largely
helped annex the games. Then the
smuggling fest which the team INDUCED
in Thursday at Sioux City also helped
keep up the percentages of the differ
ent players, so that on the whole, the
week does not present much OF falling
off, the aggregate decrease amounting
to only two points for the entire team.
Had the averages been computed at
the end of the Omaha series a differ
emit story might be told.
individually some of the players have
CraWled up a little, while others have
slumped. FenlOn's percentage remains
the same through the aid of his work
On Thursday. Geier is slipping a lit
tie bit but not enough to hurt. Kahl
has crawled some with that bum knee.
Thomson is hitting up well, and Kun
KEEL has climbed several points. Jack
Henry Is up to .273, which IS pretty
good for the former Montana kid.
The fielding of the team is exactly
the same. Practically all Of the indi-
vidual averages remain as they were
a week age with the exception of that
Of Fenlon, who seems to have accum-
ulated two additional errors while on
the road. All the averages are above
the 900 mark with the exception OF
Thomson, and Thomny hasn't played
enough to have his putouts discount his
errors. Ar error with but a few put
outs makes an average look bum when
the player may be a pretty good man.
The recon DIS. OF the season up to date:
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-07-17

The Lincoln News says that all Den
yer needs to stay in the first division
is finished catcher. Denver has been
shy on experienced catchers since the
suspension of ZaluslSy. Thompson is
q brilliant youngster but naturally
lacks headwork, while Clarine. though
a good catcher. is a very weak sticker.

BURNUM STARTED 1T.

Sioux City. Ia. July 1.-THE To-
peka players were at the mercy Of
Chabek today. who allowed but five
hits and should have earned shut
out He would have done so but for
Campbelrs muir of Wooley's fly in
the ninth inning, which Wooley
turned into a run on singles by Geier
and Fenlon.
Burnun was an easy proposition
for the Champs, and after being hit
hard was removed and Harris sub
stituted. Harris pitched a pretty
good game striking out eight of the
Sioux. The Topeka pitchers were
given very ragged support and it
would have required something
phenomenal in the pitching line to
have won with that kind of support.
