SORE ARMS ON KAWS.
Gear Says Few Days Will Work
Change in Pitchers.


Austin, Tex, April "A sore arm cpl
demic has hit the Kaw camp and as a re
suit the Topekans were outpiayed in
Wednesdays game, losing by the score OF
to s. 1t was another wild, weird exhi-
bition of the pastime. The Topekans, in
addition to wretched pitching and spas
modic hitting, made errors.
Score by innings: R.H.E.
Topeka :. ............1 2ooOSOo-6 s 3
Austin .....--......1 0 0 IS 10

Schmidt; Parrish, Lewis and Sweet. UNI

The following telegram from Manager
Gear to the sporting editor of the State
Journal tells of the situation in the kaw
camp:
Yesterdays and today's games lost be-
cause our pitchers are in poor condition.
Arms sore and weak. Team is hitting and
fielding well. Few more days of sunshine
will put us all in good condition"
Yannigans Lose to Corsicana.
Corsicana, Tex, April 4.-Topeka failed
to hit the locals today and lost to o.

ment to make the team a winner Degin
showing it a week from Sunday. And
there's another side to it. Most of the
men who will play the kaw team this
year have never been in Topeka. They
will be more or less anxious, too, about
the kind of a town they're in. Let's show
EN- by filling League park on that day as
wouldn't it be a good idea to meet these
kaws at the train and try to show them
that the town is behind them for good
and all? If the Booster organization is
going to boost why not begin the day the
team gets home? There's a. great deal IN
starting right.
Now comes the report that Texas Jones
doesn't want to play in ST Joseph, but
association. For man who was a dead
one a few years ago Tex has some nerve.
Jonesey should report to St. Joseph just
as quickly as he can. He owes it to Hol-
land. Few managers would have taken
on dead timber as he was supposed to be
three years ago. and stayed with it until
the player rounded into greater ball play
the Boss has been good to Jones and it is
to be hoped that the IIoldout report is I'M
true. Going to the big leagues has
spoiled many a player The question now
is has it spoiled Jones? His reported ac-
ton indicates that it has

again Today they play the second game
with Corsicana. Tomorrow they play at
Tyler and the next day at Longview.
Then come games with Texarkana,
Bontham, Sherman, Muskogee, OkmulGee
and then home. Chapman is with the
yannigan squad.

EMBROIDERY CLUB ENTERTAINS

Last Thursday, what is known as
the Ladies Embroidery Club, which
includes only north of the square,
gave an entertainment to their hus-
bands at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
+. II. Young, on ''Nob Hill" Men
are not much on embroidery, espec-
ally the kind of men that live north
ui the public square, but they are
sure good eaters and from what we
can understand certainly did Justice
to the many good things the ladies
had prepared for them. It's a tarnal
shame that only men living north of
the square should be treated like this,
when there are such splendid, noble
and better looking men living south
of said square. Women are USUALLY
right but it DOES seem that for once
they made a mistake. However they
probably could not help themselves
and had to do the best they could
under the circumstances. A fine
time is reported. Nearly seventy were
present and everyb) dy rep )rts lots of
good things to eat and a splendid
time.

FOs Sale HOUSE at a bargain
Mrs. 5. F]REDFRlcKs.

The report ONE to us through
the Kansas City Star OF Monday even
ing that our delegate +. A. White.
had his pocket picked on a stree, car,
coming home from a ball game, losing
$500. Can it be possible that S, me
Taft delegate done tina, job1 Franks
friends have sent him a telegram of
condoleDce containing some friendly
advise, which if properly followed
will enable him to some extent to get
it back. II some fellow got that who
really needs it we a overlook the
whole matter but if some Taft deleg-
ate got that $500. we will never for
give White so long as we live. Think
what they can do with $500. 1t looks
o as though the Roosevcltans are
going to need every cent they have
and then some. Then again to think
how much gasoline that would buy?
There seems so many ways in which
that money could hive been spent to
better advantages that it almost brings
the tear. Then again to think that
those lisht fingered gentlemen should
pick olour delegate when those nab
obs from down east were there with
bank rolls IS big as your arm, even
Teddy himself was there. We feel
they have taken an unfair advantage OF
us and when we get all the facts will
proceed against them and have more
to say.
President Taft got so busy Monday,
keeping track of matt, RS at CHIC ,go,
tina, he had to let a ball game go by.
There are lots OF things going to turn
up Ina, will keep the President retty
busy tor awhile.

The storm that hit the west side of
Bates County last saturday evening,
passing through a part of Bates. C;ss,
Johnson and Henry Counties was one
of the worst that has hit the state in
years. Thousands of dollars worth of
property was destroyed and many
lost their lives aud more were injured.
1t is estimated that about thirty per-
IONS were killed and many more in
jured. Where-ever the tail of the
storm got down on the ground it
moved things clean. Trees, crops,
buildings. fences, in fact everything
went, leaving only a streak of famine
and disappointment. This was a very
peculiar s.orm,. Seemed to start in
Oklahoma, jumped most Of Kansas,
hit the counties mentioned and then
lifted to not get to the ground again
until Indiana was reached. Much
damage was done there.
Abel & Hardy have made more
trouble. Monday they let their horse
and wagon get away Chat is the horse
got away and the wagon went along)
and it had t. 90 some to keep up with
the horse to which it was fastened by
a lot of straps ect. This wasn't SO
bad but Charlie Masons old horse
was standing quietly in front of his
store. Having some of the vim and
fire of his owner he lit out and tried
to keep up with the Abel and Hard,
outfit. 1t was a RICH, pretty race and
righ, interesting for awhile. l.o"c..
er but little hahn was done.

ing he automobiles OF this county is,

ought t. be looked int. las II i TIC
