In fact, before the p9vFfawmance
was hawf o-vah. Mr. McA1lfster. who
was straw-bossing in the absence of
Large Richard, wore the look of a
faithful farm hand who feels that there
is an awful jag Of hay on the ground
and a rain coming up. But there SEEM

the tide-(there really wasn't any tide
to speak of. but that is the proper ex-

It was simply case of too much

When 1t was their turn to perform, tho
visitors famed little, hit a little ana
ran a little. The first raid on the in
nocents took place in the fourth car
OF this train Of disaster. While the
Colleykaws were putting on little
polo game in the middle distance, the
guests from !,ryanville were strolling
around the pathway, plucking posies as
they went. A similar incident later in
the afternoon, closed the game. SO far
as Topeka was concerned. A trio of
hard earned ones-one in a bunch-had
put the phans in a pleasant and hope
full mood at the end Of the seventh,
when 1t stood 4-3. A few minutes Ia
ter. this hope was sandbagged. kicked
in the stats, chloroformed and amputa-
ted at the pockets. ,-..,.
The fans and fannies who dropped
around to say how-do to Foxy Quillen
and the rest Of the Bryanites, were
pleasantly surprised to find that tho
prize prune of the orchard of jumps,
Mr.. Fvfe. was no longer polluting the
atmosphere adjacent to our midst. The
fact added to the enjoyment of the
occasion. For a number Of days he
was the thunder that soured the milk
Of human kindness. The umping of

a good grade of umping. at that A

Berney decided against the homers; but
they might need him for pitching pur-

amateur umpires were satisfactory al
though 1t should be mentioned. in pass
ing, that McGrath can pitch better
than he can Jump.
Mr.. Brown. who dealt, was not
showing his regular stock of goods
BY comparing his display with his
standard stock, 1t might be discovered
that he was disposine OF an OCCASION

However. the loss should not be
charged entirely to Mr.. Brown. He
has won games with worse pitching.
His little playmates helped spill the
beans.
Among other guests at the enter

of q low-browed trust. A., Bill made a
flying visit to Topeka to g1oat over
former associates who can not get
jobs with a trust. He was not per-
mitted to unload more than few
specimens from his cargo of gloa.s,
and had a number left In his hold
when he returned to K. c.
There also was q visitor, name I'M

Of buggy whips or silk hosiery. who
came to the game with the laudable
desire to root for Topeka. And he
did. Likewise did he bawl out q ma

The gentleman in buggywhips-or
canned goods, maybe-came out for
the purpose Of boosting such players
as happened to wear Topeka uni

peka team. His staging Of a gentle
manly one-man riot and demonstra-
ton against the offender was enjoyed
By al, and offered q pleasant diver
o6on at a dull period OF the game.
