Monte Loses, 4 to 2;
Wins Second, 3 to 2

When the Colorado Springs
Zoos, and the strong Monte Vista
team, crossed bats Tuesday and
Wednesday, there was fur flying
in all directions. The teams were
evenly matched, and it was any
body's game until the last man
was down. Both games were holly
contested, and the fans were treat
ed to baseball in its best shape. If
the two teams were to line up
again for series of games, it
would not be safe proposition for
u person with money to put it up
on the Zoos, for Monte Vista has a
team at the present time, that
would make it far from safe bet,
for any of the teams around the
state to win from them.
At the close Of the first game the
score stood 4 to 2, in favor of the
boys from the Springs. But it
would have been altogether a DIFF
ferent story, if Monte had not
made so many costly errors. Five
errors were made, and as there
were no earned runs for the visi-
tors, it is plain to be seen that the
Zoos were liable to shut out all
thru the game. Van Stone did the
twirling stunt for Monte, and
Knowles was the animal from the
Zoo. Van pitched good ball at all
times, but the Springs were a bit
heavy with the stick, and touched
him up for 9 hits, while Monte
couldn't do much with Knowles,
and only annexed 5 hits to the
score book. The game was inclin-
ed to be slow, but at the same
time interesting, which was dem
onstrated by the way Monies 10y
al rooters got down on the base
line, and so frightened the Zoos,
that they became nervous; and the
sixth inning was nearly disastrous
for them, but they pulled ont Of
the hole with a Horseshoe" tied
on them.
Siddons, Monte's former catcher
and outielder, did the receivi ng
stunt for the Zoos. and from the
way he was hooted aud Kissed, it
is not likely that he will be seen in
a Monte suit for some years. It
appears that ''Sid" didn't appreci.
ate the good will that the people
Of this town, and the management
bestowed on him, and the way he
turned his coat made them hostile,
to say the least. He was asked to
stay over and help Monte win the
games, but for some unexplained
reason failed to see II that way,
and came up with Zoos, and was a
big factor in the defeat OF Monte,
for he had played with the boys
and knew their weak places at the

bat, using his knowledge to advan-
tage.
The second game was one of the
best that has been played on the
home grounds this summer, aud
the people that had to stay away
from it, missed the treat of their
lives. Monte took the Zoos into
camp by a score of 3 to 2. Honska
and Fennel were the battery for
Monte, and with the good support
that the tall artist was receiving, it
was his game from the word go.
The home boys got II hits off the
delivery OF Hastings, the Zoo
wiz" and II. nska, not being in
such a good mood, allowed only 5.
Errors we're few for both sides,
Zoos l, and Monte 2, and none Of
them were costly, which made the
game fast and interesting, and the
way the small bunch Of fans got
out there and cheered the home
team, seemed to put life into them,
and made them fight for the game
with all the stubbornness of a bull
dog.
In the ninth inning, with two
down, Billy Mitchell singled, and
a moment later, old reliable Joe
Busch stepped up to the plate, and
with his mighty stick, made
three-base hit, bringing in the
winning run.

money in the treasury. That is
true, but the balance left over

New York. Jan. 29.-Coincident
with the negotiations now in progress
between the brotherhoods of conduc-

controlling railway companies east of
the Mississippi and north of the Ohio

while willing to negotiate with the
men, has refused all of the demands
made.

BASKETBALL STRIKE.
Manager and Captain of High School
Team Fail Out.

There was no basket bali game at
Kansas City last night between the
Topeka high school and Kansas City
Central basket ball teams. The cause
was the Topeka team went on a strike.
The boys had assembled at the railway
station preparatory to leaving for Kan
sas City. Homer Bonebrake, who had
the day before been chosen captain of
the team. had selected Earl Roberts as
the substitute he wanted on the trip.
Ward H. Green. manager of high
school athletics, believed that Arthur
Bolton, who has been serving as util-
ity man all the season. was better
man ana wanted the boys to abide
by his choice He went so far as to
insist that they do and at the last
moment the boys refused to do this,
and the result was that the train was
missed.

TO CURB SPECTATORS.
George b. Wight Would Have States
Own Cold Storage Plants.

Trenton, n. J., Jan. 29.-George B.
Wight state commissioner of chart
ties, believes that state control of cold
storage plants can be made an effec-
tive weapon for regulating the prices
of food stuffs. The state board of
missioner, should have supervision
over all cold storage products brought
into the state and no food from cold
storage should be placed on sale ex-
cept upon certification from the proper
authorities.
He would have every package mark
ed with the date of receipt. If this
was done. he says, public opinion
would make it impossible for dealers
to sell at As or SO cents a dozen, eggs
which were. purchased by Spectators
year or two before at IS or 20
cents. The same reasoning, he thinks,
applies to msats and other cold stor-
age products

IT'S A BIG JOB
Santa Fe Compelled to Build
New Track.
Change in River at Lake View
the Cause.
RUN TRAINS TONIGHT.
That Is Promise of the General
Superintendent. :
Has Been Using the Union Pa
ciflc Tracks.

The Santa Fe expects to get all of
its trains out over their line between
here and Kansas City via the flooded
Lake View territory this evening. Gen
eral superintendent Fox of this dis
trict has been spending all of his time
on the scene of the ice gorges in this
locality and under his instruction a
new track has been constructed
around tine new channel of the river
at Cameron's bluffs. The Santa Fe
officials expect their trains to use this
track tonight.
This piece of track at Lake View
has been giving the officials no end of
trouble. The river gorged up with ice
and finding no other place to flow it
beat against the right of way of the
Santa Re and finally washed away the
banks and ate in under the ballast.
For a long time the trains used the
tracks as the ballast was able to make
a firm foundation.
However. the track grew weaker
and weaker and finally it was decided
that the lives of the passengers should
not be risked on the track in spite of
the fact that 1t was possible to run
freight trains over the district.
Train loads of bags Of sand and
rocks have been dumped on the north
of the right of way on the other side
from the river and upon this firm en-
bankment the officials have superin-
tended the construction of a new and
safe track.
During the trouble at Lake View the
Santa Fe has been running Nos. 1113,
and over the Union Pacific be-
tween Topeka and Kansas City and
Nos II, l and 8 over the second di-
vision via Holiday. Emporia where
there is a double track and thence to
Kansas City, where the connections
would be made with slight loss of
time
Despite this difficulty the officials
report all of their east and west
bound trains making good time. Two
hours late has been a high maximum
during the whole time. The trains
the districts untouched by the storms
in order to make up for the time lost
in the west
In the mountain divisions the Santa
Fe has spent hundreds of thousands
of dollars in repairing their roadbed
and bridges after the foods and wash |
outs. For some time the lateness of
the trains was due to this cause but !
now everything has been repaired and |
renewed on this division and the "Slow |
orders are being made up on the |
faster and heavier track.
With all of the new trains to Cali !
fornia and Colorado the Santa Fe has
been able to handle the traffic in good |
shape. Under former conditions with |
the old service this Washout season |
would have caused serious delays. The |
new trains have helped out the condi- |
TONES by detouring and by division !
into sections.
1--WE expect to get all of our trains |
over the track between here and Kan |
sas City this evening"" was the in |
formation given out at the office of the |
general superintendent today.
