The Kaws fell on Taylor in the
seventh inning and before three were

ninth, cinching the game The tt
gers had been leading by a large
score until the fatal seventh.
Burns doubled twice. King. Sor-
rensen and Walsh two timed once
each. The pitchers are not in con-
dition, but at that the Topekans out
hit Detroit. The Gears got away
with only three errors, while Jen-
nings' seconds gathered seven.
The crowd was disappointment,

ported. An aviation meet at the fair

''Green Stockings which will be played
for the first time in Topeka at the Grand
Anglin and her company. is by A. E. w.
Mason The story~of Green Stockings"
is a new version of an old story; the
story of a man who pretends that he is
counting for another man and finds him
self wooing in earnest. In this instance
a man who is supposed to be dead ap-
pears as his own friend to discover what
a particular woman is like.
Miss Celia Farady is the eldest daugh-
ter of a rich country gentleman; she is
clever attractive. but she is q years old
anu considered to be an old maid. Her
married sisters and her sister who is be-
trothed rather look down upon her. She
surprises everyone by announcing thas
she, too, is engaged to Colonel Smith,
who has left England for Sona1iland with
his regiment. It's all an invention
Everyone suddenly makes much of her.

When she is weary of her happiness she
puts an announcement in the journals to
the effect that Colonel Smith is dead.
Then she enjoys the sympathy lavished
on her. Lo and behold one fine day
Colonel Vavasour calls upon her. He de-
clares that he the most intima te

comes from the death-bed of his deeply
lamented friend to give her some trinkets
that Smith had bequeathed and to repeat
a long message. 1t does not require much
acumen to determine that Col. Vavasour
is Colonel Smith himself.

fourteen railroad companies become
equal shareholders in the belt line. The
belt has been owned by the Wabash,
