Lincoln News: In the series with
Topeka, ending in clean sweep for
Lincoln. the antelope pitchers issued
but one free pass on balls. Levi
Knapp granted this solitary pass in
the opening game. Wolverton, Fox
and McGrath pitched the remaining
three contests without allowing any
complimentary strolls to first. This
achievement Is a record for the sea-
son in the Western league. The
Antelopes and the Topeka Wanderers
staged four fast ball games at the
local park this week. The longest
took one hour and forty-five minutes,
while the shortest was ripped through
in an hour and Twenty-Five minutes.
Jake Beckley is entitled to most of
the credit. The oidtirner still has the
pepper and kept his club on the jump.
No time was wasted in -wrangling
with the jumps. It was baseball of a
Wanderers played snappy ball in every
one of the four games. Although hope
less tailenders, they gave the Ante
lopes a stiff battle and no more in
teresting series has been staged at the
local yards this year. It was only nat
ural that a tail-end club should be a
poor drawing card, which was where
the local fans guessed entirely wrong.
| Jake Beckley related that Dick Cooley,
| in all likelihood, would transfer to
Lincoln the series carded for Topeka
on September II, Is and 16. In case
the switch is made. the Wanderers
are entitled to crowds more nearly in

KANSAS CITY RAILROAD CENTER
Said to Be Second Only to Chicago in

first railroad came to Kansas City, ana
railroads have been coming here ever
though most of them have been built
to Kansas City, but always Kansas

the railroad maps of the country. To-
day it is the second railroad town IN
the country, with Chicago a very poor
first. and the f. towns are practical-
ly tied. -,
and value to the railroads. it is even
more conspicuously a fact that the
railroads have been of vital and para
mount assistance to Kansas City. They
have made it the great metropolis that
n is today by making it the most ac-
ressible city in the United States. 1t
was a railroad that "cast the deciding
vote when the prospects of Kansas
Citv for being the future metropolis OF
the southwest were trembling in the
balance along with those OF several
other ambitious places.
The first railroad of 1860 has grown
into q systems and 40 distinct lines OF
railroad. and the first train that puffed
chestily into the Kansas City union
station" Of 1860 has multiplied into
something like 200 trains that daily ar
rive at and depart from the Union de-
not of 1e1o-which is soon to give way
to the $50, O00. 900 station uptown. Sew
eral other millions are being spent by
The Individual railroads in the enlarge
ment of their terminal facilities. and
by the time, the new station is thrown
openly 1913 at the latest-the rail-
roads entering Kansas City will have
spent in five years an average OF 81
500, 600 a year or the huge total Of ST.
