The results of the big league games
down east are still being felt even out
in the brush. A Topeka man who was
east at the time of the games, got
there too late for a seat in the grand
stand, then missed place in line that
would enable him to procure seat in
the bleachers, whereupon he paid two
dollars for the privilege of perching
on top of a house overlooking the dia-
mond. Then there is another Topeka
man, who was no nearer than Eighth
and Quincy street to the scene OF ac-
ton, and who yet Staked, not money,
but appearances, on the outcome of
the game. He lost and is now wearing
a real. bona fide, homegrown mus
tache and goateet-the forfeit he paid
for his faith in the wrong team. His
friends now pass him on the street in
the broad light of day without recog-
nizing him; they run against him on
lighted stairways and obsequ1ously
beg pardon, thinking they have bump
ed into past grandee of the army
of A1phOnso a lost major-domo or
the kaiser's palace. Unfortunately
his penance is for an indefinite time,
but will be promptly ended at the first
taunt from the man who imposed 1t.
