Des Moines, June 26.-Bolivar
Kaufman held the Champs to four
hits, two of which were decidedly
scratchy, yesterday, but despite this
unusual showing the miserable sup
port given him by his teammates in
the second and third innings cost the
Sox the game by a score of to 8.
Bolivar himself was to blame for
one of the Champs runs, for in the
second he made a couple of fielding
bungles which, aided and abetted by
Landreth's boot, allowed the Champs
to push Niehoff across the bag.
The Topeka team showed a COM
pIetely rearranged front when it ap-
peared on the field today. Reagan, a
new man from Springfield. Ill. was in
left field, Kunkle back in the game at
third, though hobbling,, Schmidt
switched over to second and Landreth
back on first.
The Encouragement put the team all
to the bad for the first few innings
but after the third the Sox played err
rorless ball.
Neither team scored in the first but
in the second the visitors nailed UP
two runs. Andy Owens walked, Pen
nell and Reagan, in his first appear
ance in the Western. picked out a two
sacker. Kunkle was smashed In the
Stats and with the bases full Butch
Kerns singled, scoring Pennell and
Reagan. This ended the scoring for

Penneil led off the third for the
Cooleysox with a triple and Reagan
walked and pilfered second. When
Colligan booted Kunkles hit Pennell
crossed the pan but Reagan and Kun
kIe tried to work double steal and
the new man was nabbed at the plate.
It was in the latter half of the In
ming that the Sox went into the air.
Four errors were chalked up against
them in the session and these. coupled
with Kaufman's hitting of Dwyer, and
clever base running on the part OF
the Champs. gave Davis men three
tallies After Dwyer had been hit
Kunkle made a wild throw in handling
Niehoff's grounder. Dwyer went to
third on the play and moment later
Niehoff stole.
Boles filled the bases by booting
Bader's grounder and when Dryer and
Niehoff started to pull off double
steal. after Bill had nabbed the home
cushion Boles dropped the throw to
second and both were safe. Niehofr
and Bader were allowed to score when
Schmidt fell down and made Wild
throw to first to put out Fetzer.
With this out of their system, the
Sox settled down and played error
less ball the rest of the game. They
were not able to get more than one
hit to an inning until the ninth when,
with one down, Boles and Thomson
singled, but Landreth famed and Pen
nell grounded out to Dwyer. cutting
all chances for a ninth inning rally.
The Champs got their fifth run in
the eighth, when Bill Dwyer found
Kaufman for three sacks, and scored
on Niehoff's sacrifice.

CLUB STATES WILLINGNESS TO
DONATE STEAMER
GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY ASKED TO
SUBSCRIBE FIRST $4,000
piscoverer Of Opposite Axis of the
Earth Makes important An
nouncement at WASH
ington Dinner
TAssociated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Comman-
der Robert E. Peary. discoverer of the
north pole, has made a proposition to
the National Geographic society,
which, if accepted will mean that an
American expedition will be on its
way to discover the unconquered
south pole next fall.
On behalf of the Peary Arctic club
of New York, Commander Peary sug-
gested that the club and the geo
graphic society fit up a joint expedi-
ton to reach the South pole.
The Peary Arctic club, he said, in
making the offer at a dinner given
by DIR. Alexander Graham Bell to
the board of directors of the National
Geographic society, last night, would
contribute the steamship Roosevelt,
which could not be duplicated for
S15O,000, provided the National Geo
graphic society would assume the re-
sponsibility for the first $5O,OO0 To-
ward the cost of the expedition.
According to the plan suggested, all
expenses above that sum are to be
divided equally between the two Or
ganizations Commander Peary esti-
mated that the total cost would be
from $4,000 to 100000.
The proposed expedition would start
next fall and would reach coast land
rectly opposite the base Of the British
South Polar expedition. The two
camps would be about 1000 miles apart
and approximately the same distance
from the pole. 1t is estimated the ex-
plorers would reach the south pole
about December 81, 1911.
Commander Peary's proposal was
received with enthusiasm by the mem
bers of the board of managers of the
geographic society, but, as the meet
ing at the dinner was informal no
positive action was taken. The mat
ter was referred to the finance and
research committee with instructions
to report at a special meeting to be
called at an early day. 1t is believed
the society will decide to accept the
proposal
Commander Peary said that he could
not conduct the expedition In person
as the sedge work required so much
physical exertion that it needed
younger man than he to undertake 1t.

CHICAGO MAN WHO BREAKS
BOYCOTT CHoKES TO DEATH

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-At least one
death in Chicago can be charged to
the boycott on meat. Last night, aft
er "a vegetarian diet for four days,
Goff Peller, a sign painter, could re-
sist his craving for meat no longer
and raVenously attacked a huge beef
steak. He choked to death on almost
the first mouthful He purchased a
large steak. cooked it himself, and,
combining it with a loaf of bread,
made a giant sandwich.
Two fellow workmen were present
and Peller imagined they We're envy
ing him the meat.
"You fellows are not going to get
any of this; it's too good to waste"
he said, and then he began to choke.
A piece OF the steak lodged in his
throat, and although the other men did
their best to pull it out, they could not.
Peller died before a physician arrived.
