another encounter with a fictitious
burglar Her mise en- scene was so
lacking in dramatic realism, however.

the father of the two members of the

the importation of the first steel pens

a century was the principal importer

TO Preserve House.

Residents of Morristown, n j., are
expressing the hope that the future
owners of the house which has been
the home for many years of the fam
lily of the late Gen. Joseph w. Revere
will preserve it for the sake of its
Colonial and Revolutionary history
as it is one of the few houses of that
time in this country. The house, with
all its furnishings, is shortly to be
sold, as the death of Mrs. Revere last
month ends that branch of this old
Revolutionary family. The house was
known for many years as the Sansay
house and it was here that Gen. La
fayette attended ball given in his
honor on his, visit to this country III

Notes of the Game.

Out Of five times up, Kerns got four
hits-a two sacker. a single and two
triples. Butch is still working that
willow some Kah1 stung two, and SO
did Reilly and Thomson. The crowd
waited a long time for Wright to con-
meet with one. but when he did he
slammed as clean a single as ever
went out of the diamond "Wrasty's"
hit came in the sixth and helped to
win his own game.
Three fast doubles for the locals in
dictate, of course. that Cooley has a
bum ball team. Only a dozen safe
smashes indicate the team can't hit
and three stolen bases on McManuS
indicate that the players are slow on
their feet. The fact that the inf1eld
had all the putouts but two and Is
assists indicates that the team can't
play much ball.
Anyhow, we evened up by using
about all the pitchers Davis has with
him. For some reason the manager
did not pitch himself.
There were two men talking in the
grandstand and the noise sounded like
a street carnival. The fans did show
q little more life, but there is room for
Improvement. Also there ought to be
more fans at the games.
Boles reports Monday and his spe-
cial work will be with the young
pitchers. He can and will teach the
youngsters lot about the game.
Reilly's one hand stab was one of
the finest efforts ever witnessed in the
Western league. Tommy is one of
the finest infielders on the O'Neil cir
cult

Coming from one score behind in
the sixth inning the Cooley-sox drove
Burnum and Freeman to the woods
and cinched the game by landing sew
en- tallies on the scoreboard before
the sixth inning the Cooley sox drove
most of the work came after two of
our lights had been turned out.
Wright was effective. only hits be-
ing secured off his delivery. He had
fine support despite the two hobbies
recorded, and the Cooley sox fairly
outdid themselves in fielding stunts
Reilly committed highway robbery
twice in killing of the hitters. The
score was IL to 4.
Until the sixth. and afterward, it
was pretty battle and no one was
asserted itself in the third by a couple
OF game winners which came on Mat
ticks and Curtis one timers two
bases on balls and an error, by Reilly
Goongan and Matticks carried home
the encouragement for the visitors.
Again in the third they added a score
when Penford hit after two were gone
Niehon waited EN- out and Raftis
cracked one, scoring the Des Moines
first sacker. McManus flew to Reilly
however, and that stopped them.
The last run registered by Des
Moines in Topeka this trip was made
in the sixth when Raftis hit, went to
third on McManus' single and scored
on = sacrifice fly by Dalton.
The first inning meant nothing to
the locals but in the second two runs
were slipped by the Higginses. After
Dalton had nailed Pencils long fly
Kunkle was given a icket by Bur-
mum. Kerns sent him across the plat
ter with the first three Dagger made
by the butcher Friday. Abbott could
Mt find the place where the horsehfde
hung but Kahl landed safely and the
meat. cutter numbered home. Wright
struck out.
Nothing more of consequence was
on the program until the fourth inn
ing when Wooley got a base on balls,
Abbott dittoed after Kerns had flown
TO Matticks. Kah1 cracked one which
fell safe and Wooley scored.
Kerns opened the sixth with a bin
gle. It was a long two sacker. Alb
bOtt few to Dalton. KaIl walked.
Wright pasted a liner over second
base and Kerns scored. Wright was
killed at second. when Wooley was
safe on Da1ton's muir Kahl scored
Wooley stole second and went to third
when Coongan missed McManus'
show. Reilly pasted one and wooley
