SECOND ACT GOOD

The Uyeno Japanese troupe of eight
people at the Midwinter receive a
lions share of the applause this week.
There have been a great many troupes
composed Of subjects of the mikado
seen in Topeka, and when the an
nouncement was made that there
would be a Jap" troupe on the bill
for this week this was a frequent com
ment:
why don't they get something
new?"
The act makes a hit and the clever
performance in the way of juggling,
balancing and acrobatic work is actu-
ally something new"
The oriental costumes are rich and
attractive adding much to the general
effect of the act There are some Lii
liputian artists that look like little
to describe the act. It is better seen.
Provost and Brown. said to be the
highest salary of their kind, present
an act different from anything seen in
Topeka. Mr.. Provost as the under
stander was a fitting foil to the ludi-
crous comedy of Mr.. Brown, a won
derfLl topmounter. Mr.. Brown is said
to be the only man in the world throw
ing a triple somersault from the tramp
oline to the shoulders of his partner.
Holman Brothers. who do comedy
bar act, are good, the bar act of Bert
Earle. Parker and Little Jimmy
pleases. The limitations on the banjo
by Mr. Earle bring forth applause
while the singing of Miss Parker ap-
parentl-- made a tremendous hit with
the audience. Little Jimmy. as the
Chocolate Soldier. kept the crowd
roaring with his eccentric dancing.
The added feature for this evening
will be a pipe organ concert by Pro
fessOr D. H. Seymour, Organist of the
First Baptist church, who will play
from $3.50 to 9 O'Clock. A second con-
cert will be given Wednesday evening.

game of the series from the Herrites
at Hubinger park yesterday, in the
best played game by far that has been
seen here this season. Sensational
fielding by both teams and great form
by the new pitcher featured the game.
The Sunny jim smile of Frederick
won him many friends at his Keokuk

Roy Brown was slated for the mound

last an inning, being replaced by
Giencke, who Jared a little better but

The Indians presented vastly diff
ferent lineup from that of Thursday,
Baumann and Murray being out of the
game. Baumann was given his release
Friday morning and Murray being
replaced by Summers, who not only
gobbled everything in reach, but hit
the ball safely for pair of bases.

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, June 29--
The fifth Olympiad opened here today
with a parade of the three thousand
competitors before King Gustav and
the Crown Prince of Sweden The
fine new stadium was crowded to its
fullest capacity when the royal patron
and president of the games committee
drove into the arena, and were escort
ed to the royal box to the strains of
the Swedish national anthem.
After a few words of congratulation
to the members of the committee, and
brief general welcome to the for
eign competitors. the athletes of q
countries lined up for the march past.
The games then opened in quiet fash
ion, the events to be decided until
July 5 being football, lawn-tennis

England as holder of the Olympic
football cup, has a strong team out

the others being rowing. yachting and

full of annexing the trophy won BY
Johnny Hayes at London.
From July to July Is, the competi-
tons in general athletics, fencing,

Although the Cannibals hit Whit
taker freely, the fat boy of the In
dian camp kept them well scattered
and at no time were the Herrites real
ly dangerous. Brown was generous all
through the game and was unsteady at
critical times, which was the main
reason for the indiana victory, al
though hits at opportune times and
feature fieldinv helped Whitaker hold
them to zero count.
The Indian machine looked good all
through the game and the change, with
Hilly and Bresnahan back in the
game, worked the fans up to high
pitch. Glenalvin was erratic in his
decisions but none of them made any
difference in the final score.
The hits were ten to eight in favor
of the visitors but were SO far apart
that the Cannibals could not work a
man around. Only twice did they get
a man as far as third base, and then
one was cut off at the plate trying to
come In on delayed steal and at the
other time. Whitaker frightened up
and held the runner on the far cor
ner.
The game yesterday makes the two
tied for run getting during the series,
Hannibal taking the first game by a
fifteen 10 three count and not getting
a look at the counter plate during the
rest of the series. Seven runs Friday
and FIVE yesterday bring the total TO
flfteen on the Keokuk eide of the
