SERIOUS CHARGES
AGAINST AMATEURS
One Team Is Said to Have
Bought Up Players of
Another Club.

With the large amount OF work already
being investigated by the amateur base
ball commission. charges have now been
filed with President Bolgiano that two
players OF the Herald team. champions
Of the Commercial League, were offered
money to throw a game to the American
and Trust Company team, cham
pions OF the Bankers League.
When seen yesterday afternoon Presi-
dent Bolgiano stated that he had re
ceived the charges. but that he did not
give them much credence. He said that
before they would be taken up the person
making them would have to swear to his
information before a notary public.
When Manager Howe of the American
Security and Trust Company team was
informed Of the charges he stated that
no one connected with his team had
made any such offer to the two players
OF the Herald team. and he stated fur
Their that II any OF his players had done

but when he tried to steal third he
was nailed.
Gessler and Unglaub were RESPONSE
1t sounds like old times, but what II
they had started to do their clouting
a little sooner?
"Pitchers who have everything that
goes to make them successful fire.
auently are failures because when they
give q base on balls 1t rattles them.
and In their anxiety to get il over on
the next batsman they let UP. and as a
result are hit hard and lose their
games" remarked Connie Mack yes
terday.
ICY Morgan. for instance, is apt to
give q base on balls at any time. but
that does not amount to anything II ne
will just continue pitching at top speed.
Cy used to let up when he grew wild,
with the result that he would not last
the game out. He is successful pitcher
now, because he does not allow a base
on balls to bother him. He just pitches
at top speed all the time, and conse-
>quently gets himself out of many holes.
There are many other pitchers VINO
have the same fault, and unless they
can break themselves OF this weakness
they might as well get out of the bust
ness. for they are never going to make
a success Of It"
Rube Oldring made a desperate effort
to grab Unglaubs line drive on d fly,
but the ball shot downward and passed
through him. Lord backed up and got
II back into tho infieid in time to hold
Bob at third.
The league rules provide that after
the first series double-headers must be
played on tho first day Of q series. or II
the first game - postponed. two games
must be played the next day. The New
York club has been violating this rule

when q big crowd was expected.
But. as is usually the case when such
practices are in vogue, It rained yester-
day and neither game could be played. so
that after all nothing was made by the
scheme.
1t is hard to keep from enthusing about
Johnson's pitching. The easy manner in
which he works and the sensational way
In which he performs has deserved for
him the reputation Of being one of the
greatest pitchers the game has ever de-
veloped. Having men on the bases in
close game and two or even three good
batters to come up does not necessarily
mean runs when johnson Is pitching.
He Is Just as apt to strike out the lead

GIVES SOLO IN COURT.
Boy Singer Wins Supporters to Plea
Against Labor Law.

BY solo given in the probate court
Wednesday afternoon, Howard Blew
ms won several supporters to his plea
to be permitted to resume his vocation
as a boy singer in the Novelty theater
from which he was barred several
months ago by the enforcement of the
child labor law. Howard is fourteen
and is possessor of a clear tenor voice
which has been heard and liked by
many Topekans. Since he was for
hidden to sing in the Novelty theater
last spring he has earned money as
newsboy, helping his widowed mother
Mrs. Maud Blevins, of S26 Chestnut
street.
When appealed to for consent to go
ahead with his public singing, County
Attorney John J. Schenck granted his
permission. Now Roy Crawford, man
ager of the theater, is awaiting the
consent of w. L. A Johnson, state la
Dor commissioner, so as to be assured
that there will be no subsequent prose-
cution under the child labor law. This
now is being sought as the lad has a
chance to act as supply for a month,
as Carl Fletcher, the boy tenor, closes
at the Novelty aSturday. night and
will go into vaudeville, doing team
work with his uncle. Ed Wilson, who
has been doorkeeper at the Novelty in
the summer season.

springs and heavy calico covered mat
tresses. 1 am giving you details be-
cause so many are stirred up over
the complaint.
We have no janitor at all for my
ward, and the TRUSTEES" have more
than they can do in the lower ward.
cannot make any prisoner work unless
they have a work sentence, and the
majority Of them try to destroy and
desecrate everything possible. Both
city and county officers know there are
some prisoners who would need q SER
want with broom and dustpan at their
side every minute, if their cells were
kept clean.
If we had a luxurious Jail we would
certainly have it full always. Most of
the occupants are used to filthy novels
at home. Is the reason they are SO hard
to care for.
We certainly do the best we can, and
as to the condition of the women's
wari. the jailors and chief will tell you,
or you may look it over yourself. This
report has certainly spoiled my vaca-
ton for me, this year. I thank you
for the privilege of these statements.
Sincerely, MRS. L. f. THORPE
Police Matron.
