The Giants stood their ground firmly
yesterday while the Cardinals were out
scoring them and weren't disconnected
by the sight of the Cardinals Swimming
along three runs ahead. In the good
playing they have been doing of late
the Giants have been hand In glove with
tenacity. Tenacity and base hits were
summoned by them to shoot forward 10
even terms with the Cardinals and. that
being done. to take the lead and win.
A Giant victory by a 4 10 3 score was the
result Of a trim and comedy game. And
best OF all ii put the Giants in the first
division.
Louis pitched with conspicuous inge-
nuity for Ave innings. He had II all his
own way for that time. The Giants
couldn't make the least impression on
him. They didn't let that fact disturb
their poise or purpose. however. aud in
the sixth inning enough happened To
Meadows to wipe out entirely the ad-
, vantage which he and his team had built
up for themselves. without displaying
amy symptoms whatever that he was
riding for a collapse, Meadows was roped
by the Giants in the sixth and the 81.
Louis lead of three run faded from
sight in jig time.
George Burns was the man who did
most to slug New York runs to the plate.
George. who was one Of the best ball
players in the National League last year
and has Intermittent periods this year
when nc is one Of the same kind. UNI
leashed a brace of three base hits. and
both did untold good for the Giants. In
fact. they lthe Giants) couldn't ave been
happy without them. George batted in
two runs and scored two. His travels
and his truncheon therefore were indis-
pensable. At that his spear had a
brother. Old Mai Grant. understanding

WORK ON new CHURCH
Excavation for Holy Name Edifice
Began This Morning.

The ceremony of breaking the sod
for the new Holy Name church at
Tenth and Clay streets Sunday after
noon attracted an audience of twelve
hundred people.
The opening hymn was sung by the
Holy Name choir. Father Murphy,
priest of the parish turned the sod
and Father McInerny, of the Church
of the Assumption, blessed the ground.
He was assisted by Father Michigan
and Father O'Begley, chaplain of ST.
Francis hospital.
Father Murphy delivered an ad-
dress following the ceremony of
breaking the ground. He outlined the
work of the new church and told of
the advantages to the Catholics in
the west part of town who will be
benefited by the better school and
church facilities. He also asked for
the cooperation of the people of the
Holy Name parish and all the citi-
zens of Topeka. The association of
the two churches is not ended, said
Father Murphy, and the new church
will still be under the care of the
Assumption church.
The contractor, John Nelson, this
morning started his men to work ex-
cavating for the foundation of the
new edifice.

FIGHT HOG CHOLERA.
Agricultural College Sends Experts
Over State.

Manhattan, Kan, April 12.-Several
million dollars could be saved annual
ly in the state if hog cholera We're
stamped out by proper immunizatlon
Not, only would the proportion or ais
ease among the animals be greatly
reduced, says DR.. F. S. Schoenleber,
professor of veterinary medicine In
the agricultural college. but the state
hogs kept on farms. AT the presen'
time many keep only few hogs OF
none because of fear of cholera
4. What may be done in the proven
ton of the disease is indicated by the
experience in the Silver Lake district,
eight miles from Topeka, where in
region 5x9 miles every owner OF hogs
had them vaccinated. There has been
but one outbreak of cholera there and
this was found in hogs that had been
shipped in and were not treated soon
enough The outbreak was promptly
stopped.
Similar work is being planned in
Linn county in a region near Waka-
adopted in these places, all the far
mers agree to have their hogs I'M
munized leaving the method to the
college, agreeing to report all troupe
with the animals, and promising 10
notify the college of all increase in
their herds. The college sends a spec
ialist to vaccinate the animals, pay
ing salary and railroad fare The far
merS pay for the serum at the rate OF
1 u cents a cubic centimeter and also
cover the mans expenses while he is
on the ground.
Hogs may be irnmunized, however,
by any farmer who wishes, and In
order to increase the use of serum and
thus stamp out the disease, the col
lege has reduced the price to 1 Il
cents a cubic centimeter, except where
it must be administered by the col
lege authorities. This is reduction
of approximately IT per cent.
