individual Matches.
In the competition for the individ-
uaI championship honOrs of Topeka
the final matches will be held this
week There are only seven more of
these matches to be held, including
the finals. Saturday night J. Oberer
eliminated A. b. Kirkpatrick by the
score of $40 to $50 in 80 frames.
Friends of Ike Barnum of the Santa
Fee. one of the best bowlers in the city
and a favorite in the race for the in
dividual honors, regret very much that
the removal of his appendix has put
him out Of the running.
Many believe that Barnum is the
best pin buster Topeka now boasts.
and his friends say that as soon as he
rocovers sufficiently from his opera
ton they hope to match him against
the winner of the city championship
medal.
Bowling in Topeka this winter has
prospered more than it has in years,
and there has been more interest in
the game among all classes of sport
lovers. And Doc Hollinger. who has
been one of the principal factors in
bringing about the revival of interest,
says that next winter will see Topeka
in the big league classes as she
should be.

day Exhibition Game.
Players Kept Warm by Chasing
Each Other Around Bases.

Horton, Kan, April 17-Manager
baltimore and his Topeka Savages
showed the people of Horton the first
1916 model of Western league base
ball team Sunday afternoon. And the
Horton team now knows that the
latest model is the most efficient scor-
ing machine Topeka ever possessed.
The Topeka team was matched with
Al LAWYERS local team, and at the END
of eight innings when the game was
terminated because of the weather,
the score stood 25 to in favor of
Topeka.
Home runs, extra base hits and
scores were made by the Savages in
such rapid order that the scorers had
great trouble keeping track of them.
Three times the entire team batted
around before three outs were made,
and every member of the team count
ed in the run column except pitcher
Marshall.
Many Home Runs.
The hitting honors of the afternoon
were well scattered but Manager Lat
timore, Hanson, Schweitzer and Agler
claimed the distinction of being the
only members of the visiting team to
make home runs. The score books
showed nothing to refute their claims
The day was anything but suitable
one for baseball, but in spite of the
weather about 500 fans sat through

IS THERE A Joker IN ITi

THE chiId-labor law. which was made the object
OF the Presidents spectacular visit to the capitol
and which was passed in opposition to the wishes and
votes OF the Democratic Senators from the Southern
States Is now under suspicion of being not what it
claims to be.
The bill attempts to put end to child labor by
prohibiting the transportation OF the products OF such
toll from one state to another and says that such
product may not be so transported II within thirty
days from the date OF their removal from the factory
child labor shall have been employed therein.
The question arises if such products may be
removed from the factory and transported from one
state to another IL such removal and transportation
takes place more than thirty days after the goods
been finished II this is the case the child labor
bill will fail Of its purpose-because all the offending
manufacturer Will have to do IS to store the goods for
thirty days and then put them the market
The child labor law has already been heavily cap
itazed by Democratic campaign managers-despite
the fact that the bill brought up for passage only
by the votes Of Republicans and despite the fact that
the opposition and the ibuster against it were pro-
vded by Democrats. Il would now appear that there
is much water in that capitalization.
