s0X OU1PLAY Topeka
Even Up With the Western
League by Walloping
Cooley's Team, Al.

Topeka, Kan. April 5.-The White
Sox are now even up with the Western
league. After losing to Wichita Sum
day they trimmed Dick Cooley's club
here yesterday afternoon by a score of
4 to 1. Manager Duff and his whole
team felt pretty sore last night over
the defeat their old team mate slipped
over on them and they refused to speak
to him when leaving town.
Duffy thought the umpires had it
fixed up to give Wichita the game. but
he had no such kick yesterday. Frank
Smith. who was the victim of the bad
umpiring Sunday, was the arbiter in
yesterdays game, and saw to It that
there was no injustice done to his team
mates There was only a handful of
fans out to witness the contest, and
those that did come had little chance
to root, for the game was against To-
peka nearly all the way.
1t was the first time this spring that
the White Sox played an errorless
game They also batted well, and Duff
fly felt more jubilant than at any time
yet over the way the men are shaping
up.

girls TO get on and of street cars prop

II is quaint Continuance that in
general design looks like a hand car
But it has a step exactly the same in
size. position and distance from the
ground as those on an ordinary street

Six girls prope1 the car ar a good rate
Of speed around the track At certain
points there are stations where 9TH

on the car practice descending and the
others getting aboard
They must wait until the car is sta

be facing the direction in which the
car is going. They must take hold o.

scending, and they must learn grace
as well as precision in their move

awkwardly, not to say dangerously, most
women board a street car And as for
getting of il is rarely that they even
wait for the car to stop, unless forcf-

the girls who thoroughly learn the
proper methods in their school days
will not forget them
