HALL NOT GIVEN
LINCOLN GAME BY
OFFICIAL SCORER

Although many local baseball au-
thorities were of the opinion that
"Highpockets'' Hall was entitled to
credit for winning Thursdays game
at Lincoln, the official scorer gave
the credit to Dashner. Hall gave way
to a pinch hitter in the ninth inning
when the score was a tie. After he
had been removed the Savages made
the winning run and then Dashner
went into the box and held the Duck
lings scoreless. The official scorer
explained the award of the game to
Dashner thusly: 1.-The score was tied
when Hall retired. Dashner pitched
the inning when Topeka won the
game. Therefore, Dashner gets the
credit"

KANSAS LEADS IN DIVORCES.
Neglect and Cruelty Are Reasons in go
Per Cent of Cases.

Emporia, Kan, May 20.-In di-
vorces Kansas leads the United States
according to statistics recently COM
piled by E. H. Rees, clerk of the dis
trict court of Lyon county for the
class in genetic psychology at the Kan
sas Normal at Emporia. Where the
average for the United States is one
divorce for every 1 2 marriage licenses,
Kansas has an average of one divorce
for every eight licenses issued. Lyon
county is above the general average
of the counties of Kansas with one di-
vorce for every seven licenses issued.
OF these Emporia with two-fifths of
the population furnishes one-half of
the divorces.
Mr.. Rees' compilation, which was
done in connection with work in gen.
etics at the Emporia Normal shows
that four-fifths of the couples seek
ing divorces in Kansas are childless.
Farmers are less frequent in the court,
and three-fourths of the divorces are
granted to women. Although the
United States already grants more d.
vorces than all other civilized nations
combined, the rate of divorces is in
creaSing faster than the rate of in
crease of population.
''One couple out of every five in
Lyon county" says Mr.. Rees, seek
the divorce court. Not all however
are successful The statistics cover
period of Is years. The divorce
| comes usually within a period OF
eight years of married life. THE rea-

HORSE PRICES ARE STEADY.
Good Animals Have Increased Only
Slightly Since War Began.

Manhattan, Kan, May 20.-The
European war has not caused the adj
vance in the price of horses that was
freely predicted Good horses COM
mand a slight increase, but the aver
age horse has fallen off to a suffi-
cient extent to lower the horse mar
ket, according to DR.. c. w. McCamp-
bell, assistant professor of animal hus-
bandry in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
"A large number of horses have
been shipped out of the country since
the war began but they are as but a
drop in the bucket in comparison with
the available supply says Doctor Nc
Campbell. 1T is an easy matter to
make the people think that the war
has created heavy demand for
horses.
The war is aiding the horse raising
industry of the United States by de-
creasing the importation of stations.

1T WAS SURPRISE
Izzies Took Savages Into Camp
without Trouble.
Catcher Snow Failed Again as
a Pinch Hitter.

AS a pinch hitter. Graham Snow,
Topeka's second string catcher, is not
making much of a reputation for him
self these days. In the last game at
Lincoln Snow went in to bat for Pitch
er Hall in the ninth inning and came
away after taking the three count
Af;ain Friday, in the opener at Des
Moines, Snow was substituted for Lar
son in the seventh inning when Ian
ager baltimore planned to break up
the game.
The bases were full and there were
no outs, but Snow famed, taking the
edge off of the rally ASler also
whitfield, and the only score the Saw
ages made in the old come session
was when Claire walked Cochran,
forcing in baltimore.
Defeat a Surprise.
Thursdays defeat at the hands of
the Izzies was very much of sur
prise to local fans Easy picking was
expected when the baltimore battlers
went against the eX-champions, but
Des Moines got the breaks and herded
the hits effectively. The final count
was to 2.
The Izzies made the first score of
the game in the fourth inning, but
they salted the game away in the
smokehouse in the fifth when errors
by Cochran and Agler and hits by
Claire, Hahn. Hunter and Jones put
triplets in the run column.
Fought to the Last.
One redeeming feature about the
Des Moines game was the fact that
the Savages kept fighting to the last
trench. Monroe counted the last tally
in the ninth, getting to first on an
error and negotiating the remainder of
the journey on Agler's single and a
force out play at second base.
The Savages play at Des Moines
again today and tomorrow and Mon
day they journey to Sioux City where
Bugs Grover, former Topeka star
pitcher, will probably go against them.
