Red Sox Try Out Braves Park Pre-
pairing for Worlds Series.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 29.-Although
this was an open date in major league
schedules for Boston teams the day
was an active one in baseball circles.
The Red SoX, virtually certain pen
nant winners in the American league.
were busy in preparation for the
worlds series IN which they expect to
mest the Philadelphia Nationals.
AS the local games will be played on
Braves field, to which the Red SoX
are strangers, Manager Carrigan or
dered his players out to test its lights
and shadows, said to be unusually try
ing because of the great sweep of
stands, to study the bound of balls
from the new laid paths and turf and
to judge the flights of balls with re-
spect to the great distances of the
most extensive playing field in the
country.
sOn the same field the world cham
pion Braves kept in trim for the COM
ing of the Philadelphia tomorrow for
four-game series. Captain Evers
said his teammates still had hopes of
pulling the National league leaders
down to a point within reach of an
other Brave success.
An augmented staff Of clerks in the
offices of the Boston Americans
worked steadily at the growing pile of
applications for world series tickets.

The announcement today by w. o.

that the Jayhawker athletic manage

J. Weber's 4 year old gelding, under
a well judged ride by Jockey Roscoe

Hodge carried 125 pounds and con-
coded from 16 to 35 pounds weight to
all the other starters. The time

to the condition of the track.
In addition to his share of the purse,

name. Hodge was favorite in the pari-
mutual betting but winning two dol

Topeka high school overwhelmed a
plucky eleven from Carbonate Tues

park, defeating the visitors 65 to %.
While the score was one sided, the
Topeka players did not show such ma

from them later in the season. Coach

pretty husky bunch out of two score

As individuals, the Topeka men
played a nice game. Wilson, at full.

VARSITY WON 1T
IchabOds Beat Washburn Year.
lings by 35 to 0 Score.
The Freshmen, However, Put
Up Surprising Fight.

| The freshman-varsity game at
Washburn Tuesday afternoon brought
out hitherto unheralded fact, name
~, that under the tutelage of Elmer
Bearg the freshies have developed a
remarkab'- green goods team.
The final score of the game was 35
! to in favor of the varsity and to the
casual observer this may not speak
very eloquently for the freshmen. But
TO those who saw the contest it looked
a bit different to what the score indi-
cates-especially the first part of it.
During the first quarter the '19 men
defended their goal SO Valiantly that
there never was a time when it was
in danger. They held their line like
veterans and several times penetrated
that of the varsity.
At first the varsity seemed unable to
get going and it began to appear
that the affair might develop into a
real game instead of a tryout exhibit
ton as the annual clash really is.
The First Score.
But in the second quarter with the
ball in the middle of the field the
juice was turned on and the Ichabod
scoring machine began to grind as it
used to grind of old. The lines came
together hard and red jersies and
blue piled upon each other they
had been doing since the first whistle.
But, out of the wiggling, squirming
mass head of a sunset hue appeared
then body shot out free and Cap
tain Deans, lu6 little FINK Devil,
brought a last seasons thrill to the
hearts of the spectators as he raced
down the field for a 30-yard gain.
And the thrill that Pinky brought
was the thrill that was necessary to
put the varsity on its toes. Three
quick line plunges followed and then
Kessler lunged across for the first
Washburn touchdown of the season.
Beginning the third quarter both
sides essayed forward passes and the
varsity was considera bly, successful.
The ball was brought to the freshman
five yard line and then lost when
Heller fumbled. However, it was soon
brought back and Brian Muirhead
went around right end for the second
touchdown.
The other touchdown in the third
quarter was made by Captain Beals in
person. A pretty forward pass was
worked, Beals to Kessler, for 35 yards
and then Pinky went over.
Last Two Touchdowns.
In the fourth quarter Muirhead
added another and Heller intercepted
a forward pass and raced half the
length of the field for the final score
Beals kicked goal every time.
The spectacular freshman playing
was largely done by Bailey, Wilson,
Perry and Hope. Baker also ran the
team well. Perry's work was little
short of brilliant and he was always in
the game.
