Again Neglected to Catch q Fly
in Pinch.
With Two Down, FOrsythe In
serted His Miscue.
Topeka USED THREE PITCHERS
But They Couldn't Hold the
Tail-En Witches.
Bill Rapps Was the Days Pre-
mier Slugger.

Wichita. Aug. 1S.-Once more
again Cyrus Forsythe threw away a
ball game for the Topeka employees
by emitting the most important part
of catching a high fly. that of getting
at toe hold on it after getting 1t in his
init. With Clemens on second in the
ninth inning with two down. Tydernan
hit an easy fly t. Forsythe. After
camping under the same for several
seconds C. reached out to get it. He
caromed off Cy's glove and Clemens
legged it over the platter with the
winning run of to game.
Grover started the serving for the
Topeka crew, but was relieved in the
sixth by Sanford after he had filed
the bases. Sanford worked until the
end Of the eighth, when Reisigl was
sent in to hit for him, and finished
the afternoons performance.
Koerner started the scoring for the
kaws in the second when he singled
to right, went to second on a single
by Tallion and to third on Lattimore's
sacrifice, Tallion going to second.
Rapps scored them with a smashing
double. In the third Whelan led off
with a double and scored on For
sythe's single. The Kaws knotted the
game in the ninth. Rapps started it
with a single and Cochran followed
suit. Reisigl advanced the runners
with a sacrifice, and Whelan singled,
scoring Rapps and Cochran. That
was the extent Of the Kaws' scoring,
and 1t was enough to win the game If
Cy had not committed his error of
commission.
Score.

The Eight-Hour Law.

One of the most important of the in
itiative propositions to be voted upon
ath the November elections is what
is termed Initiative Measure No. 10,
or the "Eight.Hour Law" This meas
ure is fraught with so much good or
evil, as one may see it. that it's care
full consideration Is due at the hands
of every voter 1t will be discussed
in the press and on the platform fully
during the next two months, and, in
order that the readers of the Herald
may have full understanding of the
proposed law, we print the text in
full below. Kindly note the words
printed in black type, and refer to
the argument which follows, in re-
gard thereto. The law in full says:
Be it enacted by the people of the
State of Washington:
1t shall be unlawful for any person,
corporation, company or joint stock
association to cause, require or permit
any male or female employee in his,
her, or it's employ, to work more than
eight hours during any day Of twenty
four hours, nor more than forty.eight
hours during any week Of seven days,
except that in agricultural labor an
additional two hours per day may be
allowed for work which is unavoiuably
and necessarily incidental to farm
management.
Provided. however, that in case of
extraordinary emergency, such as
danger to life or property, or where
such eight-hour limit would unavoid-
ably and necessarily prevent other
workers in the same mine, mill, fac
tory or other industrial unit from
working the full eight-hour day the
hours for work may be further ex-
tended, but in such cases the rate of
pay for time employed in excess of
eight hours of each calendar day
shall be one and one-half the rate of
pay allowed for the same amount of
time during eight hours service
If for any reason any of the pro-
visions of this act shall be adjudged
unconstitutional and invalid it shall
